The elder brother that Qian Defu likes is not only a widow, but also a six-year-old kid. How could Qian Defu's parents agree after hearing him say such a situation, but when it came to Zhang Lanhua? He couldn't break up with Qian Defu, and it's the same now. In Qian Defu's words, he and his parents have separated, so whoever he marries is of course up to him.
The brother who lost his husband and became a widow still lived in his husband's house. He didn't live alone like Tang Chunming. He was still under the account of his husband's house. On the top of the mountain, if you go from Pingshan Village, it will take half a day on the road. The mountain road is not easy to walk, and it will take longer than going to the town.
Although there is such a distance, the news is not impossible to spread. Hearing what Zhang Xiu said, Tang Chunming can guess that this brother is not a docile and good-natured man. The property left behind sounds like someone with some tricks, like the original Brother Ming, who got so mixed up that he was about to be remarried by his husband's family for money.
But later, because of being unclear with the men in the village, his reputation became worse and worse, so the relationship between this brother and his original husband's family also became worse and worse. And Qian Defu saw this brother right after passing through that village for some reason, and made up his mind to marry this brother back after coming and going. As for those who are famous or not, Qian Defu doesn't think so. He thinks it's all gossip. Of course, this is also the method of that brother, making Qian Defu think that the husband's family wants to take back the original man's property, so he made up gossip. come to persecute him.
"You said that the money is a blessing, it's true, people don't know what to say..." Zhang Xiu had something to say in front of Brother Ming, and it was hard to raise a six-year-old kid, Moreover, Qian Defu was far from Li Feng, and he was very disfavored of this family.
"Never mind them, as long as they don't bother us." Tang Chunming is not good at making too many comments on such things. He just hopes that this brother can live in peace after marrying in Pingshan Village, and the rest is not important. . However, because of this, the impression of Qian Defu is even worse. He is not a person who can be filial to his parents. When he leaves home, he will ask his family to help him with an autumn harvest. The autumn harvest must be in good weather. Harvesting all the crops in the village is not an easy job, and it can be exhausting for the elderly, okay? But let's see if the son who has all the money is blessed, can still let go like this Yes, after coming back with this kind of virtue, it seems that Zhang Lanhua and Zhang Hua were a natural match before, they are not good things.
"Brother Ming, what kind of things are you painting? See what you draw and write, why don't you draw some new patterns for me." Zhang Xiu also put aside this matter and turned his attention to Tang Chunming looked at the painting for a while but didn't understand it.
"Haha, it's a tool that will come in handy later, and I'll know what it's useful for when I get it out." Tang Chunming didn't explain in detail, because he couldn't explain it clearly, he just copied the original home and drew it. The whole brewing vessel is divided into three parts, the pot at the bottom, the wooden barrel in the middle, and the pot at the top. He thought, hurry up and brew the wine when he and Li Feng get married. At that time, he can use this Wine to entertain guests? He felt that this matter should be discussed with Li Feng.
Since the relationship became more established, Tang Chunming liked to discuss everything with Li Feng. For him, this is the feeling of family.
&&&
After Li Feng got it, he asked people to make it according to the appearance and requirements on the picture without saying anything. As for whether to use the wine brewed by Brother Ming himself, Li Feng said that he would wait until the wine was brewed. He was not afraid of Brother Ming. The brewing is not good, but I am afraid that he will brew it too well, because the brewing method Ming Geer said is too different from what he knows, and I am afraid that it will be too eye-catching.
Tang Chunming didn't think too much, but started the preparation work, the first step of wine making, that is to mix sorghum with koji and put it on the steamer to heat for the first step of fermentation. Mr. He was more interested in what Tang Chunming was doing. He observed the whole process and even helped out together. He was very much looking forward to the final product. What kind of hobbies can he have at his age, isn't it just drinking some good tea and a few sips of good wine, raising children at home, and going to the mountains to collect herbs with Hu Langzhong in his spare time? Life is almost like a fairy up.
During the period of waiting for the brewing, Tang Chunming still remembered the silage in the back mountain experiment. He asked people to shovel the soil buried on it, uncovered the oilcloth on it, and waited for the smell of fermentation inside to dissipate before following Li Feng. Check the condition of the feed.
"How? Did it succeed?" Li Feng looked at Tang Chunming and asked, and the other people around him also looked at him, and only Tang Chunming could answer.
Tang Chunming grabbed a handful and checked it in his hand. Judging from the texture and color, it was successful, so he said to Uncle Da who was waiting by the side: "Uncle Da, you have tried mixing it with other feed these few days. Let's feed and see together, as long as you are willing to eat and there is no problem, then you have succeeded, by the way, let's feed a few less first."
"Oh, yes, I see." Uncle Da replied seriously.
Li Feng knew that the first step was successful when he saw Brother Ming's situation. The next step is to see how the sheep react after eating this feed. If they are willing to eat and grow meat, then this method of storing feed can definitely be promoted. Tang Chunming looked at Li Feng's reaction and guessed what he was thinking, and said: "Wait a few days to see the reaction of these sheep. If there is no problem, I don't mind sending this method out. No matter what others do, it will definitely not be me. The quality of the feed they make is good, because their raw materials are not as good as ours.”
Li Feng couldn't help laughing when he heard this. Brother Ming understood him. Although he came back from the battlefield, although he was far away, he still cared about those people in his heart. If the situation of those comrades on the battlefield can be improved, He was very happy in his heart, and said: "That's for sure, by the way, take some back and let Jingfeng eat it to see if it likes it."
The two found a basket and filled it up, and the rest were managed by Uncle Da. After these days, Tang Chunming and Li Feng had a good impression of the Uncle Da they had found, and they were very serious in their work. Not sloppy.
Passing the chicken coop on the way, I happened to meet Xiao Shunzi who came to catch the chickens and transport the eggs. Once in a few days, he could pack two or three hundred eggs back home, more than enough for Jinji and the Tingjing Pavilion in the county.
"Brother Li Feng, Tang Fulang." Xiao Shunzi greeted the two of them diligently.
"Afeng, Brother Ming, here is the money for this time." The son of the sixth uncle's family rubbed his hands and handed over the money that Xiao Shunzi settled on the spot just now, and this time he met Tang Chunming by chance. If not, one of the two couples would definitely bring the silver money to Tang Chunming's house immediately, which is not bad for a copper coin, and report the number of chickens and eggs collected.
Tang Chunming took the money, and saw a child hiding behind his brother poking out his head and timidly looking towards them, his little hands tightly clutching his brother's trouser legs, and for some reason he remembered Alin's appearance at the beginning, Ask brother: "Is this the child? What is his name now?"
Brother, I was also a little nervous. This is the child of the Huang family. I was afraid that Brother Ming would not like this child, so I tried not to let him come to the chicken coop. Brother Ming was not displeased, he felt relieved, took the child out from behind, pushed him in front of Brother Ming and said, "That's him, now he's called Huang Xiaoxing, it's his grandfather's name."
Tang Chunming shook his head speechlessly when he heard this. The grandson is called Xiao Zhuzi, and the boy husband is called Xiao Xingzi? He patted the child's head and said to his brother: "You guys are well-raised, and you look much better than before. Don't hold him back. This place is big, and letting him run around will make him feel better."
"Hey, okay, thanks to the goat milk you sent me, brother Ming, this child can be raised so well." Brother Mo said gratefully.
"Brother, why don't you be busy, we're going back, see you, Xiao Xing."
After walking for a while, seeing that brother Ming was not in a good mood, Li Feng asked, "What's wrong? Seeing that child is not happy?"
"No way," Tang Chunming shook his head, "Sixth Uncle's family took good care of the child, I just saw that the child thought of A Lin's appearance when he first came here, it's really distressing."
Li Feng immediately realized that what Brother Ming was talking about when he first came here was the scene when he just woke up from this body, and he couldn't help reaching out and grabbing Brother Ming's hand. When he saw A Lin, he was also a timid child, and he gradually let go of his courage after being manipulated by Brother Ming for more than half a year.
Tang Chunming was not a sentimental character, so he put it aside after a while, and said as he walked, "I want to eat fish, why don't you bring some fish back?" With his fingers bent, Li Feng smiled, Brother Ming, what does this mean? Catch a few fish from the space and bring them back. They are considered fished out of the river. Seeing Brother Ming's interest, Li Feng was happy to cooperate, and said: "Okay."
In order to be more realistic, the two deliberately made a detour to the river, and when they entered the village from the river, they carried six fish in their hands. They were going to make two more, and the rest could be kept in buckets for tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. eat.

Before Tang Chunming remembered, Li Feng brought back the wild chestnuts deep in the back mountain. Tang Chunming happily called everyone to pick out the good chestnuts together. Wild chestnuts are small in size, but they taste delicious and delicious. Tang Chunming is always keen on eating them. Hearing that Ah Mo wanted to make delicious food again, the big and Er Mao couldn't sit still after class, and they circled around Ming Ah Mo, and was sent out by Tang Chunming to do another thing, which was to pick up the broken pieces The stone came back and was washed clean.
Wash the chestnuts and open a small hole with scissors, which is not only convenient to taste, but also convenient to eat. First, boil the chestnuts in water and fish them out. Tang Chunming happily prepares to fry the chestnuts.
"Grandma, when can I eat it?" Ah Lin gathered around Grandma. After cooking, he secretly ate one, and Grandma wouldn't let him eat any more. Children are like this, the more adults don't let him I am getting more and more hungry and want to eat.
"See if your Uncle Feng is ready outside." Tang Chunming ordered someone.
Alin ran out in a hurry, and got into the kitchen after a while. Tang Chunming was picking up all the chestnuts that had been boiled in the water. They cooked quite a lot. Everyone gathered together to eat and then gave them away for fun: "Mum, it's ready." , Uncle Feng asked me to come in and call my mother."
Tang Chunming touched his son's small face: "Okay, get out, I'll be right there."
An iron pot was set up in the yard, and the washed stones had been preheated in the pot. There was also a large shovel with a wooden handle. Li Feng picked up his sleeves and prepared to do a big job. Pour some of the cooked chestnuts into the pot first, and immediately steamed, and Li Feng immediately mixed with stones and stir-fried in the subway pot.
Mr. He was holding a plate beside him, which was filled with sweet-scented osmanthus. While talking with a smile, he sprinkled sweet-scented osmanthus into the iron pot, and the scent of sweet-scented osmanthus wafted out as the heat evaporated.
Because the chestnuts have been boiled in advance, they can be eaten without frying for a long time. After the original moisture evaporated due to constant stir-frying, some white sugar was sprinkled in the pot. After the white sugar melted and covered the chestnuts, Tang Chunming removed the heat from the stove and put the chestnuts in the pot together with the stones. Pour it into a flat bowl on one side, and then pick out the chestnuts.
Da Mao and Er Mao couldn't wait to grab the hot chestnuts and wanted to eat them. The aroma just released made their saliva drool. Alin watched eagerly. He wanted to eat it too, but it was too hot. Aunt and Uncle Feng watched from the side to prevent him from doing it, saying let it cool before eating.
Seeing how pitiful he was, Mr. He couldn't help but also grabbed a hot chestnut, peeled off the outer shell, and handed it to A Lin. A Lin immediately took it with a smile on his face, and hugged Mr. He's thigh one by one. Yelling.
"Go, don't worry about eating by yourself, look at what your mother and father are doing." Tang Chunming kicked the two boys, the eldest and the second.
"Oh, let's go." Regardless of the heat, the two boys rushed out while blowing air while grabbing a few chestnuts.
In autumn, they were enjoying stir-fried chestnuts with sweet-scented osmanthus in the yard. On the other side, the Qian family also held a happy event, welcoming the newcomers into the door lively, and many villagers ran over to watch the fun, wanting to see What kind of good-looking widow is it that seduces Qian Defu's heart and insists on marrying him in regardless of his parents' objections.
Tang Chunming had nothing to do with the Qian family, and the fact that his brother was suspended had something to do with Tang Chunming after all. In addition, he was still a while away from his official filial piety, so no one in the Qian family asked Tang Chunming to go. Tang Chunming himself was even less willing to watch this trip of favors, he wanted to see the marriage or something, and waited a while to see his own.
I don't know who made it clear. This brother's surname is Sun, and his original husband's family name is Qin. Because Sun brother is going to remarry, the Qin family will take back the Qin family's land. The six-year-old Qin family The boy can also be adopted by the people of the Qin surname, until he becomes an adult, and then the recovered land will be returned to the boy's household. Ordinarily, this kind of practice in the clan is not too much, and they did not do anything to seize the property of the orphans and widows, but this grandson refused to agree, and brought his son to make troubles in the clan, saying that he raised his son himself, so don't worry The people in the clan left their son alone, who knows if the clan will change their minds and bully his son. In the end, the two sides had to sit down and make a document. Brother Sun looked at it together, and he didn't stop until Kid Qin was named under his name as soon as he became an adult.
In this way, it means that this grandson brought his land when he married into Pingshan Village. In addition to the dowry gift of fifteen taels of silver given by Qian Defu before, he didn't have to be controlled by his mother when he married in. Defu has already been allocated out, and the little days in the future can be regarded as the first class in Pingshan Village. Of course, this has to be reckoned in the past. Now who in Pingshan Village has more money than Brother Ming, no matter how much money Qian Defu gives as a dowry, is there as much money as Li Feng who gives out hundreds of taels of silver as soon as he makes a move? Even building a new house cost tens of taels of silver.
So although many people talk about envy, they actually have the mentality of watching a show in their hearts. From this incident, it can be seen that this grandson is probably not a simpler character than Zhang Lanhua. See See, before you get married, you can hold Qian Defu in your palm.
Qian Defu was wearing brand new clothes with a smile on his face, and he was indescribably happy when he washed away the bad luck all over his body. Before Zhang Lanhua did such shameless things, although Qian Defu was annoyed and had to divorce Zhang Lanhua, but he himself was humiliated after all. Facing the suspicious eyes of others, Qian Defu could only hold back aggrieved Leave Pingshan Village. It's not that he didn't want to vent his anger on Tang Chunming and Li Feng in his heart. He divorced Zhang Lanhua after the Huang family's incident, which inevitably made people think whether he was put on a cuckold by Huang Sigou. Otherwise, how could the timing be such a coincidence? He couldn't tell the truth of the matter, because it would make people more convinced that he was cuckolded.
If Zhang Lanhua in the past made him satisfied with his appearance, now the new husband is not only the appearance, but even the temperament is more to his liking, the most tender and careless, let his self-esteem get better After getting great satisfaction, the men in the village will know in the future that the brother he married is the best, with outstanding looks and temperament, not comparable to Tang Chunming.
Moreover, thinking about the child in brother's belly, Qian Defu laughed even more from ear to ear. Compared with Zhang Lanhua, the current husband is really good in everything. It's not that I'm not in a hurry, I've been teased by other men for his incompetence several times.
"Look at the new one, see the new one..." The children in the village don't care about the adults, just join in the fun, going to the new house to see the new one, and there are many half-grown boys following behind, Even the brother who came over to be a guest and help was curious about what this brother looked like that made Qian Defu so eager to marry him back.
&&&
Big Mao and Er Mao also joined in the fun. A Lin was too young, so Tang Chunming didn't let him run over, but entrusted him with the great task of watching his younger brother.
When the two boys came back and vividly described the situation of the Qian family, they didn't have much impression of the new brother, but they had a lot to say about the kid from the Qin family who married after him. Da Mao is okay, after all, he is two years older than the six-year-old boy, and Er Mao is only one year younger than him. Originally, seeing a new boy of about the same age in the village, he wanted to get close and see if he could play together in the future, but he didn't expect After being humiliated by others, Er Mao's face was not very good when he came back. It was Tang Chunming who made him a cup of jam to make him smile again.
"Ming, that kid won't let us eat fruit snacks, saying they belong to their family, and anyone who dares to snatch them will beat them." Ermao still said a little unhappy, and Ah Lin couldn't go, so he agreed He brought back delicious food for Allin, but in the end the empty-handed man came back.
According to the rules, when the newly married brother is in the new house, if he sees children from the same village coming to see him, he will grab snacks such as melon seeds and fruits for the children. The children of the past are disappointed.
"Okay, let's all go out and play, you usually have something to eat here at Ming's." Fulang Shen who ran over slapped Ermao's ass and drove the children out to play.
"Why did you come here? Didn't you want to be a guest at their house?" Tang Chunming asked curiously, and Zhang Xiu did the same. Qian Defu got married, so other families don't have to bring them, but here the main family must sit at the table. Everyone thought that Mrs. Shen would not be free to come over today.
"I'm too lazy to join in the fun. Anyway, there's someone in charge over there, so I'll just come out and be lazy." Mrs. Shen said indifferently. After hearing so many gossips, he didn't have a good impression of this newly married brother. , There will always be some preconceived impressions.
"Did you see it? How? Tell us, is it really good-looking?" Zhang Xiu asked vigorously. If he didn't feel that the Qian family was a little out of touch, maybe he would have gone to see the new one a long time ago. .
"How can those people say it so beautifully? After a few days, you will surely see it. It's the same as the previous one. It looks fair and soft-spoken, but I'm just not used to it." Fulang Shen trembled as he hugged his arm, wondering if it was common for men to do this, but he still felt that being with brother Ming, Zhang Xiu and the others made people feel more comfortable.
Seeing his appearance, Zhang Xiu immediately covered her mouth and smiled: "Brother Ming, look at Uncle's appearance, well, I know now, that brother must not be with us all the way, and we should stay away from it in the future. "
Tang Chunming was also amused by Shen Fulang's description. According to his estimation, this grandson probably looks rather girly, even Shen Fulang, a local brother, can't bear it, and he, a fake, must not be able to stand it.
Tang Chunming thought that he would not see this new brother so soon. Unlike other brothers who have to go to the river to wash clothes, he just uses well water at home. Besides taking care of his son, he also Running to the back of the mountain, there are only a few families that I usually come into contact with.
One day, after Tang Chunming cooked lunch, seeing that Li Feng hadn't come back, he thought he was delayed at the back mountain again, so he put the food in a basket and prepared to send it to Li Feng. Little A Sen drank goat milk and fell asleep, A Lin stayed at home and had lunch with his grandfather, Tang Chunming went out with a basket.
You don’t need to go through the village to go to the back mountain. You can come out from your own yard and turn a corner to the back. However, some people’s fields are closer, and sometimes you will meet a few people who are busy in the field. But it was already noon, and there were no people in the field. Tang Chunming carried the basket and went on his way. The food in the basket had already been moved into the space by him, so that it would not get cold outside. Even if there was a curtain on the basket, no one could see it. To the scene under the curtain.
But a figure appeared on the way, and Tang Chunming was startled suddenly. Before Tang Chunming could say anything, the man opened his mouth first: "Are you Brother Ming from that family? Someone mentioned it, and I wanted to find an opportunity to visit, but I didn't expect to meet you here first."
The visitor was wearing a plain cotton shirt and a skirt with fine patterns, and he was petite and slender, with a fair and clean face. He was indeed different from the brothers of ordinary farmers. Tang Chunming realized it at first sight. Who is it? It's too similar to what Mrs. Shen said, especially after he spoke, Tang Chunming couldn't help but tremble secretly, not only softly, but also softly, damn, I don't know this Does it make him very disobedient and prone to confusion
Although he had some preconceived impressions in his heart because of what other people said, and because this was Qian Defu's newly married brother, Tang Chunming was not willing to have more contact with this family, but on the surface Tang Chunming felt that he was a Men don't care too much about such "girls", they run into each other when they meet, say hello or continue to leave, so they nodded and said, "I'm Tang Chunming from the Tang family over there," because this brother When he was talking just now, he pointed his finger in the direction of his house, "You are the grandson of the Qian family, right? I'm going to deliver food to the people on the mountain, so go slowly." After speaking, Tang Chunming was ready to leave. Just like what Zhang Xiu said, just based on their looks and identities, they are not the same people, so there is nothing to talk about.
But he thought so, but others didn't let him go so easily. The grandson of the Qian family didn't seem to understand the meaning of Tang Chunming's words, so he followed Tang Chunming's direction and said, "They all explained My brother looks good, I only know what they said is worse when I see him now, at first glance just now, I thought he was from the city, look at this house built, only in that city I have seen it before, and I heard that that guy is also capable, Brother Ming is really lucky."
He spoke slowly and walked slowly. Tang Chunming couldn't have the patience to accompany him on the slow walk, so he stopped and turned around to face this brother: "Brother Sun is going to the mountain. Go up?" This is the land boundary of his family. Since the land boundary was drawn, people in the village no longer come to this back mountain, except to see the excitement or something, because everyone knows that this privately owned and unowned barren mountain is not worth it. same.
This is very obvious, and it seems a little unreasonable. This brother squeezed the handkerchief in his hand, showing a cautious look: "I want to talk to Ming brother, we are all married from other villages bro..."
"Don't," Tang Chunming waved his hands, "now is not the time to talk, the temperature is not high today, the food can't wait for anyone, and I won't wait for you soon." After finishing speaking, he stopped looking at this brother's expression , and strode away the distance.
Tang Chunming has a bit of aggressive momentum in front of his feet, anyway, he is definitely not hooked on the image of his brother. His words are so straightforward, no matter how thick-skinned the brother behind him is, there is no reason to follow him any longer, and the expression on his face is a little ugly with the handkerchief in his hand. He has married into Pingshan Village for a few days, because he knows how to be a man , no matter what outsiders think of him, but no one will embarrass him in front of him.
Before marrying into Pingshan Village, he inquired about the affairs of the village, and after knowing which families were good, he would establish a good relationship. What he heard most about was this widow like him who brought their children to death. Being able to marry the Qian family has to be thanks to this family. Although I don't know the details, but the former brother's dismissal is definitely inseparable from this brother, plus the fact that this brother was rumored There are a lot of gossips, and before the filial piety period, he hooked up with a man and other men came to the door to be a matchmaker. In his opinion, this brother should have a lot of common words with him. It couldn't be easier for this brother to establish a good relationship. I didn't expect that he couldn't step down without saying a few words.
He obviously had a vicious face, but he was so rude, the brother surnamed Sun spat in his heart, a little contemptuous, that man must have liked his face when he fell in love with him, but after a long time, he only relied on such a face He couldn't keep his face, otherwise, why would the guy in front of Qian Defu be dismissed? In the end, it wasn't because this guy didn't have him in his heart. Guarding such a brother, when it comes to understanding men, he has more say than other brothers.
But thinking about it, he felt a little unwilling, because past experience let him know that the money in his hands is the most reliable. As for those men, it wasn't him who said it. It's not that he can't find people who remarry, but he doesn't like those who are crooked and bad, and finally got rich. Hurry up.
He was quite proud at first, but he was far behind when compared with this brother. Qian Defu only gave him a dozen taels of silver. He bought a mountain, and the brother surnamed Sun bit his lip. The difference is so far, he doesn't think he is much worse than Brother Ming, it's just that he was a little bit unlucky and didn't let him meet that guy, otherwise he still doesn't know who is more proud than who.
