Tiehu died of illness, and the descendants of the Tie family came back one after another.
When a fat woman holding a child saw Xiao, she walked up to her and called out: "Mother." After the call, she asked the child in her arms to call her aunt.
The voice was familiar, but people didn't know her. Xiao Zhixi looked at her and asked in amazement, "You are?"
The woman said with some embarrassment: "Auntie, this is Caixia." Not to blame Xiao, but she has changed so much.
Xiao's eyes were wide. She remembered that Caixia Guazi had fair skin and a very slender figure. She was a standard beauty. It was incredible that the chubby woman in front of her was Caixia.
Duan Caixia saw how she looked, and she knew why she was so surprised: "You eat too well when you nurse a baby, and you get fat like this if you don't pay attention." In fact, she didn't want to nurse a baby back then, but was forced by Li's head. of. During the period of breastfeeding, I ate a lot of breastfeeding and I gained a lot of weight. I was preparing to lose weight after weaning, but I was pregnant again before it started. The second child is a son, Li catches her head and don't mention too many babies, let her be fed until she is two years old before being allowed to wean.
After being shocked, Xiao quickly calmed down, and said insincerely: "It's better to be fatter, it looks blessed."
Ru Huisheng shouted to lose weight after she finished her junior year, and was scolded by her. After that, Ruhui followed Meng Ranxi to a foreign post. But then I heard Zeng Chenfu said that Ruhui had succeeded in losing weight, and she had returned to before giving birth to a fourth grade. I can wear the clothes I used to wear.
At that time, Xiao still murmured to Ning Hai that Ruhui was fed and supported. What kind of fat such an adult loses, a little fleshy body makes him richer. But now seeing Duan Caixia, I feel fortunate that Ruhui lost weight after weaning. Otherwise, she accidentally fattened into Duan Caixia, too hot eyes. She couldn't stand it, let alone Meng Ranxi.
This man, there are a few who don't like pretty.
In fact, Xiao thought too much, and Duan Caixia was able to become so fat, thanks to Li catching her head. He knew that Duan Caixia under house arrest would not cure the symptoms but not the root cause, so he thought of such a way to draw salaries from the bottom of the pan.
Duan Caixia has become such a big fat man now, even if she wants to hook someone, no one wants to ignore her.
Since becoming a fat man, Li Cattou no longer restricts her freedom, Duan Caixia can take her children to go shopping.
As he was speaking, he saw a man in his forties approaching and yelled respectfully at Xiao: "Auntie."
Duan Caixia said to Xiao hurriedly: "Auntie, this is my family."
Xiao's head nodded towards Li Catou: "You are busy, I have to take care of your uncle."
Duan Caixia asked in a low voice: "The master, do I want to take my children to follow." Li catches the head and decides everything at home, and she dare not make any claims.
"No, you just need to take good luck." He wanted to climb the Anyang Mansion. But now it is the funeral of Old Man Tie, if it is too obvious to annoy Anyanghou, it will be self-defeating.
In the evening, Hongbo asked Ning Hai: "Uncle, will Fang Hui and A Zhan come?" If both of them came, he would postpone the funeral for a few days. As for Honglin, he was not ready to wait anymore, it was too far to wait.
Ning Hai shook his head and said, "Don't wait for them, let Dad enter the soil as soon as possible!" It is still relatively hot in August. Even if you use ice cubes if you don't bury it as soon as possible, it will be smelly.
With this, Hongbo knew it in his heart.
Tiehu’s funeral was particularly decent. Not only did the county magistrates and officials in the county seat offer condolences, but also the prefects and other officials in the prefecture sent people to deliver the ceremonies.
When the coffin went up the mountain, villagers from ten miles and eight townships came to deliver it. Lined up in a long line, it looks particularly spectacular.
During the burial, Chunni fainted because of her sadness. Ning Hai was also distraught, but he managed to hold on. But when the funeral was over, he too fell ill.
Although Xiao was worried, he didn't complain about Ning Hai this time, but took care of him more and more carefully.
After taking the medicine to Ning Hai, Xiao couldn't help but muttered: "The doctor here is really bad. I have drunk this medicine for three days and it still has no effect."
Ning Hai drank the medicine and rinsed his mouth, then smiled and said, "How can a doctor in the county compare to an imperial doctor." If it can be compared, they can also be admitted to the hospital.
"When Dad's seven or seven is over, let's go back to Beijing!" Ning Hai looked like she didn't worry about staying here to celebrate the New Year.
Ning Hai nodded and said, "Okay."
Fang Hui got the news of Tiehu's death, and immediately went to ask for leave. After asking for leave, he went home to pack his things and prepare to go to Tiejiacun.
It wasn't long before Tang was out of confinement, and the child was so young that he couldn't go if he wanted to. Therefore, she wanted Fang Hui to take her eldest son and brother.
Fang Hui shook his head and said, "I have to rush to Tiejia Village as soon as possible. I can't take my brother with me." Now I have to rush back to the funeral. I can't delay it. It takes a lot of time to bring a child. But if you are riding a horse with your brother, you are afraid that your child will not be able to stand it physically.
Tang did not insist, but said to Fang Hui, "Husband, how did you think about what I told you last time?" She wanted to send her brother and her back to the capital to study.
The teaching conditions in Tongcheng are too poor, and my husband is not even a talented person. At the beginning of the year, she accidentally saw the letter written by Zhuang'er to Fang Hui. The powerful words made her think about sending her son back to Beijing.
Fang Hui was silent and asked, "Are you willing to be so young with your brother?"
The Tang family was naturally reluctant, but still said: "As smart as my brother, he will learn what I teach him. When I go to the capital, I believe that a famous teacher will teach him that he will definitely make achievements in the imperial examinations in the future. ."
Mothers all hope to give the best to their children. In addition, there have been no major battles in Tongcheng in recent years, but minor battles have continued, and there have been many casualties. Every time Fang Hui went on an expedition, she was frightened. So she didn't want her son to inherit Fang Hui's mantle, and wanted her son to be admitted into the official civil service examination.
Fang Hui sighed and said, "I'll tell my father about this, but don't expect too much. I'm afraid that my father won't agree to this matter." Ning Hai is old, and his health is not to be tired. Not so much time and energy to take care of a child. And Ning Zhan's relationship with him has never been very good, and the family is separated again, and he will not agree to this out of all likelihood.
Tang Shi said softly: "I always have to try." If you don't try, how can you know that it won't work!
In fact, Tang wants to send his brother to the funeral, just to let Ning Hai know that her son is very good. As a grandfather, I definitely hope that my children and grandchildren will be prosperous. Seeing that Brother He is a manufacturable material, he will definitely agree to let Brother He stay in the capital to study!
Ten days later, Fang Hui hurried back to Tiejia Village. He was not surprised to hear that Tiehu had been buried. For such a long time, the Tie family will not wait for him.
Hearing that Ning Hai was sick, Fang Hui entered the house anxiously. Seeing Ning Hai who was haggard, Fang Hui cried out with some guilt: "Father..." He hadn't seen him for three years, and his father was so old.
Ning Hai thought he was worried about his condition, and smiled and said, "It's almost healed. It was your mother who made a fuss and asked me to rest for two more days."
After saying a few words, Ning Hai said: "Are you hungry? Hungry, let the kitchen get you something to eat. After eating, go up the mountain and kowtow to your grandfather."
After taking two bites of rice casually, Fang Hui took it to the mountain. When he arrived at the Tiehu Tomb, Fang Hui saw Ning Zhan and Zhuang brothers.
Brother Zhuang was overjoyed when he saw Fang Hui. However, Hang Ge'er caught him in time and reminded him: "Big Brother, this is the grave of great grandfather." Therefore, even if he is happy, he can't show it.
"Father." When he said this, he was already in front of Fang Hui.
Fang Hui patted Zhuang'er on the shoulder and said softly, "I'll go to your grandfather's grave first. If you have anything, we'll talk about it later." He cares about Zhuang'er very much. Strong brother. So even if the father and son are not together, the relationship is very good.
After going to the grave, Fang Hui asked Ning Zhan: "You also just arrived today?"
Ning Zhan nodded and said, "I was out on business, so I delayed some time."
The two went down the mountain together, and Ning Zhan asked about the situation of Tongcheng. And Fang Hui also asked Zhuang brother something.
In the eyes of outsiders, the relationship between the two brothers is still good.
Fang Hui and Ning Zhan are not Tiehu's grandsons, so they don't need to be filial piety. So after a few days, the two are going back.
Brother Zhuang said to Ning Hai: "Grandfather, I want to go back to Tongcheng with my father."
Ning Hai naturally had no objection: "When I went to Tongcheng, neither my homework nor martial arts could fall. If not, I will be punished severely when I return to Beijing."
Without waiting for Brother Zhuang to speak, Xiao smiled and said: "Brother Zhuang is so diligent, how can he be slack. It is Brother Hang, I am worried that without Zhuang's supervision, I will be lazy."
Brother Hang did not refute the Xiao family, but said: "Grandfather, I have always heard you talk about Tongcheng, but I have never been. Grandfather, I want to take this opportunity to see what Tongcheng is like."
Ning Hai smiled and said, "This matter has to be asked by your father before it can be done." He can't be the master of Brother Hang's business.
Ning Zhan is a very open-minded father, knowing that Brother Hang is going to Tongcheng, he agreed immediately.
Xiao's complaint to Hang Ge Er Ning Zhan a bit: "You are too used to your children!" She didn't want Hang Ge to go to Tongcheng at all, not to mention the danger and the environment is not good.
Ning Zhan smiled and said: "Mother, the queen mother often said that boys should go out to see people and things outside, so that they can increase their knowledge and broaden their horizons."
Anyway, Brother Hang didn't have to do imperial examinations, so he had more experience outside to understand the world, and he had no choice but to be good to him.
Even the queen mother moved out, and Xiao's complaint is no longer good: "Tongcheng is messy, so let Hang and Zhuang go with some guards."
Since he was going to follow Fang Hui to Tongcheng, he naturally obtained his consent. Ning Zhan personally said this to Fang Hui: "In the past few months, I will trouble you to take care of him."
Fang Hui said: "Brother Zhuang has been in the Hou Mansion for a few years, and he has relied on you and his younger siblings to take care of him. If it is troublesome, it is me who troubled you and younger siblings."
Ning Zhan smiled and said, "A Zhuang is very sensible. Not only his parents, but Afu and I like him very much." have.
I also knew that Zhuang'er had a very good life in the capital, otherwise Fang Hui would have sent someone to pick Zhuang'er back to Tongcheng.
