peasant girl wedding

Chapter 126 Soybeans
The sunlight outside the house came in from the gaps between the layers of leaves, slanted through the thatched roof, and hit Roche's face with his head up.

The halo prevented Tong Zhide from seeing her expression clearly at the moment, but from the corners of her raised lips, he knew her thoughts.

really----

"I'm sorry to say something well, you are tired from walking, come on, I will help you to rest inside the house."

"Well," Tong Zhide stretched out his arm actively, letting Luo Shi help him into the room.

……

Two days later, Tong Zhixin's family gradually became busy.

Originally, it was agreed with Dong Ping's parents that the date of the two families' engagement was set on the fifth day of August, but it was a pity that Dong Ping's parents were in an emergency and couldn't get away, so the date was postponed. And now, August 26.

The field bought by Tong Zhixin's family is also empty, there is no peanuts to collect, and the family is extremely leisurely, so it is a good day to be scheduled for this day.

Fang Cuiwei informed Tong Zhide's family and her elder brother Fang Dalin's family yesterday. When Dong Ping's parents arrived on August 26, the family would go to a restaurant in the county to have a meal together. Rice, to be a witness to Tong Duo'er and Dong Ping's engagement.

"aunt……"

Dong Ping's voice came from the door.

Fang Cui got up slightly, and said with a smile, "Dong Ping is here."

"Auntie," Dong Ping nodded, with a smile on his face, "My parents have already arrived at a restaurant."

"Hey," Fang Cui nodded slightly, then turned around and said to Fang Dalin's family and Tong Zhide, "Then let's go too."

She walked back into the house and called out Tong Duo'er's four siblings and Fang Ruyan.

The day was chosen coincidentally, it happened to be Tong Zhaofu's rest day, but he was overjoyed.If he missed the day when his elder sister got engaged, he would definitely regret it very much.

The three people came out of the house, Fang Cuiwei locked the door.

A group of people looked up and saw a carriage waiting on the avenue.

Yao Shi glanced at Dong Ping, and secretly said to Fang Cuiwei: "You are really lucky, this Dong Ping is rare to be a considerate and thoughtful person, and he will treat Duoer well in the future."

Fang Cuiwei couldn't stop smiling when she said this.

A group of people walked unhurriedly towards the carriage.

Dong Ping deliberately slowed down, and there was only three steps away from Tong Duo'er and the others.

Today's Tong Duo'er is wearing a long dress with small floral prints, a pink thin shirt and a smock on the upper body, tied with a thin belt around the waist, and tied with a neat and beautiful knot at the side.

A touch of rouge was applied on her face, revealing a layer of beige pink. The long eyelashes and gentle eyes made Dong Ping stare straight into her eyes.

Tong Duo'er lowered her head, surrounded by Tong Zhi'er, Tong Zhu'er, Tong Zhaofu and Fang Ruyan, she moved lightly with lotus steps, her face full of shyness.

Dong Ping couldn't hide his astonished gaze, and she naturally noticed it.

"Brother Dong, big sister looks really good today!"

Tong Zhu'er took two steps forward, and said to Dong Ping with a smile.

Tong Zhi'er beside Tong Duo'er found that Tong Duo'er's ears had been quietly pricked up.

"Well, it's beautiful."

Dong Ping's voice was deep and hoarse, with a feeling that Tong Duo'er's heartbeat had missed half a beat.

boom----

"Brother Dong, be careful!"

Fang Cuiwei and others who had already boarded the carriage leaned out nervously when they heard the voice.

I saw Dong Ping beside the carriage, covering the back of his head with one hand, and Tong Duo'er, who was only a few steps away from him, was looking at him with worried expression.

Obviously, the muffled sound just now was the sound of Dong Ping accidentally bumping into the carriage.

"Are you okay?"

Fang Cuiwei asked with concern.

Dong Ping waved his hand, turned around and shook his head embarrassedly and smiled.

Seeing him like this, Yao Shi and Luo Shi couldn't help laughing.

This kid, Duo'er looked stupid!
When Tong Duo'er and the others got into the carriage, Yao Shi and Luo Shi still made fun of Tong Duo'er by saying this.But their voices were kept very low, firstly because Tong Duo'er was thin-skinned, and secondly because Dong Ping was sitting in front of the carriage.

Fang Cuiwei, Luo Shi, Yao Shi, Tong Duo'er, Tong Zhi'er, Tong Zhu'er, Tong Zhaofu and Fang Ruyan sat in the carriage, while Dong Ping, Tong Zhide and Fang Dalin sat outside the carriage.As for Tong Zhixin, he had already gone to a restaurant to make arrangements, and at the moment he was talking with Dong Ping's parents in a private room on the second floor.

……

Tong Zhaoyin asked Guanshi Zhang for half a day off, and together with Tong Zhixin and others witnessed the engagement ceremony between Tong Duoer and Dong Ping.

Before the meal, the family chatted lively, and after the meal, Dong Pingniang took out a boxy pear blossom wooden box for Tong Duo'er.

"This is a meeting gift from your aunt. Just wait until you marry Dong Ping two years later and call me mother."

"Thank you auntie."

Tong Duoer took it shyly.

Dong Pingniang didn't open her, and said with a smile: "Open it and see if you like it?"

Luo Shi, Yao Shi and the others all looked at Tong Duo'er's hand that opened the box.

"Yeah, this is really beautiful."

The moment the box was opened, Yao couldn't help but praise.

Luo Shi was also a little surprised.

She has also been to the Ruyi Jewelry Shop, so she naturally knows the value of Dong Pingniang's gift for Tong Duo'er.

A pair of gold bracelets, a pair of silver bracelets and a pair of emerald bracelets are all of high quality.It shows how satisfied Dong Pingniang is with Tong Duoer.

"Thank you, Auntie," Tong Duo'er raised her head, her eyes were shining brightly, with tears flickering faintly.

She also felt Dong Pingniang's attention, and was very grateful and moved in her heart.

"Good boy." Dong Pingniang smiled, and then took out another box, but it was for Tong Zhixin and Fang Cuiwei, "This is the engagement of our two families."

Inside are two red hairpins, two hairpins, two earrings and a pair of mandarin ducks.

Tong Zhixin smiled and put away the things.

Dong Pingniang continued: "I don't know if you have any special requirements for the bride price?"

Fang Cui smiled slightly, "It's up to the elder sister to make up her mind, we don't have any special opinions."

"it is good."

The smile on Dong Pingniang's face deepened even more.

Several family members talked for a while, and Dong Ping's parents boarded the carriage back to Dong's family.

Fang Cuiwei and Tong Zhixin sent them to the carriage, and then went back to the private room to talk with Fang Dalin's family and Tong Zhide's family.

Because they are all very close people, they have no scruples about speaking.

"Sister, your quasi-in-laws are pretty good." Yao said.

Fang Cui nodded slightly.

Dong Ping's parents are indeed good people, and they didn't feel contemptuous just because they were farmers.Marrying Duo'er into such a family is far away, but her father-in-law and mother-in-law are good people, and Dong Ping's heart is also on Tong Duo'er, so she can rest assured.

……

Tong Duo'er and Dong Ping got married, Tong Zhixin and Fang Cuiwei discussed and began to prepare a dowry for her.

"When other people's peanuts are almost packed, let's go buy some and bring back the 100 mu of land next year." Fang Cui said with a smile.

Tong Zhixin nodded, and continued: "There are also fruits from the wild fruit forest. When they are ripe, pick them up and make candied fruit."

"I'll feed a few more piglets, and dozens more chickens, ducks and geese..."

Here Fang Cuiwei and Tong Zhixin are full of plans.

On the other side, Tong Zhi'er went into the woods alone to look at the surprise she found by accident - soybeans.

In July, there were green bean pods. Tong Zhi'er missed the taste of tender soybeans fried with meat in her previous life. However, there are too few soybean plants at the moment, so she can only watch dryly until it is fully grown. When it is mature, soybean seeds are born, and there will be more planted in the future, so that it will be a delicious treat.

And right now, it is the season for soybeans to mature.

The plump bean pods and the golden color make Tong Zhi'er very happy just looking at them.

She watched secretly for a few days, and only when all the soybeans in the pit were ripe did she tell her family the good news.

"Father, sister, Zhu'er, come with me quickly."

Seeing Tong Zhi'er's joyful appearance, several people followed her to the edge of the big pit where soybeans grew, in a daze.

"what is this?"

Tong Zhixin asked in surprise.

Tong Zhi'er smiled, tore off a yellow bean pod nearby, peeled it off, showed Tong Zhixin the full four soybeans, and said happily: "This is a kind of yellow bean. They are still green seedlings, and they are all ripe now."

Tong Zhixin immediately recalled that it seemed that Tong Zhi'er had asked him to apply farm manure to these yellow beans at that time.

He brought the soybeans to his nose and smelled it, and there was a faint fragrance.

I don't know if I can eat it?
Thinking of this, Tong Zhixin fed the raw soybeans into his mouth.

"Daddy, spit it out—"

Tong Zhier said in surprise.

Raw soybeans, she remembered, were poisonous.

The soybeans were just stuffed into his mouth, but he didn't swallow them, Tong Zhixin spit them out quickly, and asked Tong Zhi'er, "What's wrong?"

"Daddy, soy beans have never appeared before, so don't just eat them raw."

"Soybeans?" Tong Zhixin repeated these two words.

Tong Zhi'er smiled, "This is a kind of yellow bean, so it's quite appropriate to call it soybean."

Fang Cuiwei, Tong Duo'er and Tong Zhu'er also recited it, and the more they recited, the more fluent they became.

"Second sister, do you mean to collect all these soybeans?"

Tong Zhu'er stretched out her finger and asked.

Tong Zhi'er nodded, "That's right, although I haven't thought of what to do with these soybeans, but they will grow out anyway, let's take them home and study them carefully, maybe we can create new good ones." Something is coming..."

Tong Zhixin looked at Tong Zhi'er's confident expression, and said, "Okay, let's harvest soybeans."

Just do what you say, and the family will immediately come down to the bottom of the pit.

Tong Zhixin and Fang Cuiwei had greater strength, and they pulled out the soybean plants one by one from both sides. Tong Duo'er, Tong Zhi'er and Tong Zhu'er pulled out the soybean plants for a while, and then took charge of pulling out the soybean plants. The soybean plants are stacked and placed on flat ground.

"Fourth brother, fourth sibling..."

Hearing Luo Shi's voice, Fang Cui raised her head slightly, and said loudly, "Second Sister-in-law, we're on Linzi's side."

Luo Shi followed the sound and searched for a while, and all he saw were strange plants stacked on the flat ground. Going forward, Tong Zhixin's family was pulling strange plants at the bottom of the big pit, working in full swing.
