The peasant widow is famous all over the world

On the way, Tang Mian promoted Zhuang Zhuang’s family connections.

Grandfather Tang Dingzhong, grandmother Chen.

Uncle Tang Dewen and aunt Liu Xiaolan.

Second uncle Tang Dewu and second aunt Liu Xiaohong.

The eldest cousin Tang Mingjie, the second cousin Tang Xiaolian, and the third cousin Tang Xiaocao were all born to my eldest uncle.

The eldest cousin Tang Xiaoyu, the second cousin Tang Mingfei, and the third cousin Tang Mingyi are all the children of the second uncle.

The little guy listened carefully to Tang Mian's words and tried to remember the names.But when I arrived in Da'an Village, I kept pinching my fingers and was very nervous.

Seeing this, Tang Mian gently held his little hand and comforted: "Our Zhuangzhuang is well-behaved and sensible. Grandpa and grandma will definitely like you. Haven't you already met my uncle? He said he likes you personally. !”

Hearing this, the little guy raised his head and looked at Tang Mian with a worried expression, "Really?"

"Of course it's true." Tang Mian rubbed his strong little head and affirmed with a smile.

When Zhuangzhuang heard this, he grinned.

He will definitely find a way to make his grandparents like him, because his grandparents and uncles are all relatives of his mother.

"What are you kiddos thinking about? It's important to eat well and grow up quickly." Lu Zhiqiang, who was driving the bullock cart at the front, said with a smile.

Zhuang Zhuang pursed his lips and said, "Second cousin, I have started to learn calligraphy. I am no longer a little kid."

Lu Zhiqiang laughed even harder, "You still don't believe me when you say you are a brat. Who told you that you are no longer a brat when you start learning Chinese characters? I don't know if other people like you, but my Maomao likes you. Determined You have to protect your brother!"

He wanted to laugh when he thought of his son pestering him to teach him Kung Fu, how he was afraid of pain and suffering but would not give up.

Zhuang Zhuang blinked in confusion, "Brother, protect me?"

"Yes, Maomao promised to protect you from now on." Lu Zhiqiang nodded.

Zhuang Zhuang stared at Tang Mian, trying to get some information from her. Why should his brother protect him?
As if he understood Zhuang Zhuang's meaning, Tang Mian smiled softly and said, "You and Maomao are brothers, so he naturally wants to protect you."

The little guy blinked again, is that right?
Do you have to protect him as a brother?
However, that younger brother doesn't seem to be very smart, so I'd better protect him myself from now on.

After Lu Zhiqiang said a few words, Zhuang Zhuang thought about protecting his younger brother in the future, but he forgot to be nervous.

When several people arrived at Tang's house, it was only half past midnight.

Lu Zhiqiang dropped the people off and drove away.

After Lu Zhiqiang left, Tang Mian led Zhuang Zhuang and knocked on the door.

"Coming, coming." The voice was loud and full of energy, and Tang Mian knew it was his sister-in-law Liu Xiaolan.

Liu Xiaolan opened the door and saw Tang Mian. She immediately raised her lips and smiled, "Girl is back, come in quickly, come in quickly."

Tang Mian moved to hold Zhuangzhuang's hand, looked down at him, and said, "This is my aunt."

When Zhuang Zhuang heard this, he immediately put on the sweetest smile and said in the sweetest and crispest voice, "Hello, auntie, I am Lu Yanxiu, my nickname is Zhuang Zhuang."

"Oh! OK, OK, Zhuangzhuang is so good!" Liu Xiaolan said with a bright smile, "Stop standing around and come in quickly. Ever since your eldest brother came back, the whole family has been looking forward to it!"

Tang Mian said hello and led Zhuangzhuang into the house.

However, Liu Xiaolan did not follow Tang Mian into the house, but stood at the door and said: "We have just finished eating. My parents are in the main room now. You can just go in. Your eldest and second brothers are drying rice on the dam. The bigger monkey also joined in the fun."

"I'm going to call your second brother back. He hasn't met his eldest nephew yet! There are also two skinny monkeys. Let them come back to meet his brother."

"The two older girls are going out to play with their younger brothers and sisters, and they won't be back until later."

"Okay." Tang Mian nodded, "Sister-in-law, please call my eldest brother back, and you will come back too. After the rice has dried, you can leave it alone."

Liu Xiaolan was stunned, "Why is this?"

"Sister-in-law, I have something to tell you later."

Liu Xiaolan paused and responded: "Okay."

After saying this, he said hello to Zhuangzhuang and turned out of the door.

After she left, Tang Mian reached out to close the door and led Zhuang Zhuang towards the main room.

After resurrecting her life, this was the first time she saw her parents, and she suddenly became timid about being near her hometown.

For her in the previous life, her parents also gave Zhang Xiucai a lot of money in private.They were worried all day long that if she didn't say anything, she would be a drag on the eldest and second brothers.

The eldest brother and the second brother knew that Zhang Xiucai was messing around outside, so they came to the house and beat him several times.

For the first two times, Zhang Xiucai still had a clear conscience and did not pursue the matter because his parents had given him money.

Later, Zhang Xiucai made a fuss about suing the official, otherwise he would lose money.

After all, a scholar is not allowed to kneel before an official, so he cannot be beaten at will.

If Zhang Xiucai insists on pursuing the case, the eldest and second brothers will also be sued.

There is no other way, the family can only lose money.After two compensations, the eldest brother and the second brother became timid, and her family was dragged down into misery.

Later, she was sold by Zhang Xiucai to pay off her debts, and she never heard any news from her parents' family again.

"Father, mother." Tang Mian shouted with a choked voice as he walked outside the main room.

Tang Dingzhong and Chen looked up when they heard the sound and shouted happily: "Mian Niang."

"come on in."

Tang Mian suppressed the emotions in his heart and led Zhuang Zhuang across the threshold.

Tang Dingzhong and Mrs. Chen also saw the little guy. He was thin and small, with dry hair, slightly yellow skin, round and bright eyes, and pretty facial features.

Zhuang Zhuang followed Tang Mian to the middle of the room, let go of Tang Mian's hand, knelt on the ground, looked at them with a smile on his face, and said obediently: "Hello grandpa, hello grandma, I am my mother's son. My name is Lu Yanxiu, and my nickname is Zhuangzhuang."

Tang Dingzhong and Chen were stunned by the little guy's actions, "What is this? Get up quickly. Mian Niang, help him get up."

"Father, mother, you are his grandparents, it's okay to kneel down." Tang Mian not only did not reach out to help Zhuangzhuang, but also said that kneeling was the right thing to do.

Mrs. Chen glared at her, "Okay, hurry up and get Zhuangzhuang up."

Tang Mian smiled, knowing that she was mad at her, and stretched out her hand to pull Zhuang Zhuang up.

Then he put the things in his hands on the table aside, "My father-in-law heard that I was going back to my parents' house, so I went to town yesterday to buy some small gifts."

Tang Dingzhong and Mrs. Chen looked at each other and said, "There is no need to buy anything in the future. Use this money to buy some delicious food to feed the child and see how thin he becomes."

Tang Mian smiled softly, "Father, mother. Don't worry, my son, I will naturally raise him strong."

Tang Dingzhong and Mrs. Chen were not very happy after hearing this, but there was a slight sadness in their brows.

However, Mrs. Chen still responded: "It's good to know."

After he finished speaking, he turned to Tang Dingzhong and said, "Old man, you talk to Mian Niang for a while, and I'll go back to the house."

After the boss came back two days ago to talk about it, the family prepared gifts and put them in her room.

Tang Dingzhong nodded, knowing that she was going back to the house to get something.

Mrs. Chen stood up and looked at Zhuang Zhuang with a gentle smile, "Zhuang Zhuang, grandma leave for a moment. You can talk to grandpa first."

"Okay." Zhuangzhuang responded obediently.

After Chen left, Tang Dingzhong didn't know what to say to his daughter.The main reason is that Zhuangzhuang is here and it is inconvenient to say some things.

"Mian Niang, I haven't seen you for half a month. How are you doing recently?" Well, they actually heard about it.

When Zhou Xiaohua returned to her parents' home, she talked a lot about it.Tang Mian smiled and nodded, "Dad, I'm fine."

It's great to be able to live another life!

"That's good." My daughter only reports good news but not bad news!

"Mian Niang, when will you start harvesting rice so that we can go over and help."

Tang Mian thought for a moment and said, "My father-in-law said he would start harvesting the rice tomorrow. However, you don't need to go over to help. The eldest uncle, second uncle, and several cousins ​​are all here, and it will be harvested soon."

After hearing this, Tang Dingzhong waved his hands directly, "They are them, and we are us. We have finished harvesting the rice, and no matter what, we have to have one or two people to help, and we can't let you follow your words."

Tang Mian paused, "Dad, actually."

"Okay, it's settled. Tomorrow, let your eldest brother and sister-in-law go over and help."

"Okay." Tang Mian had no choice but to agree.

After the rice harvest was settled, Tang Dingzhong began to chat, "How old is the child?"

Tang Mian lowered his head and looked at Zhuang Zhuang, "The little guy has just turned four."

Tang Dingzhong was stunned. The good-looking child looked older than him at the age of three. Sure enough, he was
"Then you really have to take good care of him."

"Yeah." Tang Mian responded.

She didn't plan to tell her parents about the little one's illness, lest they become worried.

At this time, Mrs. Chen returned to the main room with a bag and put it in Tang Mian's hands.

Tang Mian pinched it and was slightly startled. It was full of copper plates, and there were a lot of them.

"Mom, what are you doing?"

Mrs. Chen turned around and walked to the chair where she was just sitting and sat down. She looked at Zhuang Zhuang and said, "Mian Niang, do you think your parents really don't know anything if you don't tell them?"

In this place in the countryside, gossip spreads fastest.

"mother"

Mrs. Chen sighed, "Your eldest brother proposed this money, and your second brother and two sisters-in-law didn't object. Although it's not a lot, it can be dealt with for a while."

"Dad, Mom, I really can't accept this money." Tang Mian stepped forward and put the money bag on the table.

Mrs. Chen frowned, picked up the money bag and stuffed it forcefully into Tang Mian's hand, "You kid, just take it if it's given to you."

Tang Mian felt warm in his heart, "Father, mother. Listen to me, I have been collecting herbs to make money since the past two days, and I have already earned a lot."

"What? Make money by collecting herbs? When did you know about medicinal materials?" Tang Dingzhong and Chen both looked at Tang Mian with disbelief.

Tang Mian knew that they would react this way, so he repeated his previous excuse, "Axun has taken too many medicines over the years, and I have learned a few more medicinal materials after taking care of him for a long time."

When the two of them heard this, their expressions instantly turned regretful, "Why did my father and mother find such a marriage for you in the first place?"

Tang Mian smiled and comforted, "Father, mother, this marriage is a good one, you don't have to feel guilty."

"It's so good! I became a widow at a young age." Mrs. Chen immediately added, "You too, don't want to find another one no matter what! I heard that Zhang Xiucai's conditions are good, but you are just stubborn."

Speaking of Zhang Xiucai, Tang Mian's mood instantly worsened.However, he didn't show it on his face, "Dad, Mom, I really think life is very good now. Don't mention getting married again in the future."

"You" Mrs. Chen was so angry that she slapped the table, but there was nothing she could do.

"Grandma." After Zhuang Zhuang saw it, he walked to Mrs. Chen and called out sweetly.

Facing a child, Mrs. Chen had to temporarily put away her anger, forced a smile and said, "What's wrong?"

Zhuang Zhuang stretched out his hand to hold Mrs. Chen, and said in a clear voice: "Grandma, don't be angry. When Zhuang Zhuang grows up, he will definitely be filial to his mother and will not leave her alone."

"Hey, okay, okay, Zhuangzhuang is so good!" Mrs. Chen pinched Zhuangzhuang's little face and said.

Tang Mian felt a little warm in his heart, and his son could be very considerate.

Tang Dingzhong nodded with satisfaction. From the current point of view, this child is still good.

"Okay, let's talk about your medicine collection first." Tang Dingzhong turned to look at Tang Mian and said.

Tang Mian recounted the previous two collections of herbs, but hid the fact that he went into the mountains in the afternoon so as not to worry his parents.

After listening to this, Tang Dingzhong and Chen didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

Fortunately, my daughter can make money by collecting medicine, and her future life will not be so difficult.

The sad thing is that her daughter's ability to collect medicine was actually learned by her son-in-law taking medicine for many years.

Seeing that his parents were silent, Tang Mian took out a few medicinal herbs from his sleeves and said, "Dad, mother, I brought here all the medicinal herbs I picked last time. I thought about teaching my eldest brother that they can know each other, so that they can be used at home in the future. One more input.”

Tang Dingzhong and Chen were both stunned, "Are you serious?"

"Of course it's true." Tang Mian smiled and nodded.

When Tang Dingzhong heard what Tang Mian said, he immediately stood up and said, "I will go to Shaiba to replace your eldest brother and the others."

"Dad, wait a minute." Tang Mian stopped him.

"I told my sister-in-law when we were at the door just now. She has already gone to Shaiba to call her eldest brother and second brother, and she should be back soon."

Sure enough, as soon as Tang Mian finished speaking, they heard the voices of Tang Dewen and others.

Not only the adults came back, but also a few children.

Seeing this, Tang Dingzhong smiled and said to Zhuang Zhuang: "Let's go, grandpa will take you to recognize your brothers and sisters."

Zhuangzhuang obediently stretched out his hand for Tang Dingzhong to hold, "Okay!"

When Mrs. Chen saw this, she also went out with her. She left the matter of identifying the medicinal materials to the young man while she thought about what to eat for lunch!
My daughter and grandson are here, so it’s hard to just have two meals.

At this time, Liu Xiaohong, who was cleaning up the kitchen, also came out.

The family was so happy when they heard that Tang Mian was going to teach them how to recognize and pick medicines.

Tang Mian also explained to them carefully and patiently.

After confirming that they all knew each other, Tang Mian saw that it was not too late, so he went to the river with Tang Dewen and Tang Dewu.

That's the easiest place to find an arrow.

Sure enough, Tang Dewen was the first to find an arrow and did not admit his mistake.

After walking along the river for half an hour, the three of them dug up about half a catty of arrows. The harvest was quite good.

Tang Mian suggested that they take it to the town to sell it in the afternoon and compare it with the price offered by Dr. Wu, as long as the difference is not too big.

The two Tang Dewen brothers readily agreed.

They have no skills. They just dig food in the fields all day long, and only go to town to do part-time work in their spare time.

Now that they are better, they can earn more money by collecting herbs, which makes them feel more at ease.

After lunch, Tang Mian proposed to go back to Qingyuan Village.

"It's hot at noon. What are you doing back here? After dinner, I'll ask your elder brother to take you back." Tang Dingzhong said.

Tang Mian smiled and said, "Dad, it's okay. I made an agreement with my second cousin and he will drive the bullock cart to pick up Zhuangzhuang and me. I have a lot of things to do in the afternoon and I have to rush back."

When everyone saw that Tang Mian persisted and Lu Zhiqiang also arrived, they stopped trying to persuade him to stay.

After returning to the village, Tang Mian took the things she prepared yesterday, as well as the dried meat, water and pancakes that Li had prepared for her, and went to Qingzhu Mountain with Lu Zhian and Lu Zhiqiang.
