peasant girl wedding

Chapter 156
Tong Zhixin also persuaded: "Yes, Mr. Ji, you can celebrate the New Year with us."

Ji Guzi nodded slightly.

After Tong Zhixin and Tong Zhaoyin locked the shop, the group got into the carriage and headed home.

Tomorrow is Chinese New Year, Fang Cuiwei has already prepared the food for tomorrow at home.The trotters, chicken, duck, goose, and pig's head are all stewed separately, and they can be eaten tomorrow when they are hot.

Because Ji Guzi came to the house, Fang Cuiwei, who was supposed to have a casual dinner, added two extra dishes of meat. The family roasted in the fire room for a while, then washed their feet and went to bed.

Before dawn, the sound of crackling firecrackers was heard loudly in the air.

Tong Zhi'er got dressed and got up, opened the door, and went into the kitchen. Fang Cuiwei was already busy with work.

"The branch is up, and there is washing water boiling in the pot." Fang Cuiwei said while chopping vegetables.

"Ah."

Tong Zhi'er lifted the lid, poured a ladle of hot water into the basin, then covered the pot, added a little cold water in it, and took it to the other side to wash his face.

"Mother, Second Sister."

Tong Zhu'er also got up at this time, and said in a daze.

"Why don't you sleep a little longer, it's still a while before breakfast."

Fang Cuiwei said.

"It's too noisy outside, I can't sleep." Tong Zhu'er walked to Tong Zhi'er, and after she finished washing her face, she took the towel and wiped her face.

"Mother, is there a fire going on?" Tong Zhi'er asked.

Fang Cuiwei turned around, "There is still a while, I will call you when the fire is about to be lit, now you go and play."

Tong Zhi'er and Tong Zhu'er came out of the kitchen.

In the yard, Tong Zhixin was chopping firewood.

The two greeted him and went to Tong Duo'er's room.

"Miss."

Tong Duo'er, who was embroidering a purse, saw the two of them, raised her head, and said with a smile on her face, "Zhi'er, Zhu'er, you're up too."

"Elder Sister, why are you still embroidering this Chinese New Year?" Tong Zhi'er asked.

"That's all," Tong Duo'er smiled, "I'll go and help in the kitchen after Mother cuts up the vegetables." Saying that, Tong Duo'er lowered her head and worked seriously Needlework.

"Second sister, third sister, so you are here, I have been looking for you for a long time." Tong Zhaofu's voice came from behind, Tong Zhi'er turned around, and met his flushed cheeks.

"Afu, what's the matter?"

"Second sister, third sister, let's go pick up firecrackers, they will be gone when it's too late."

Having nothing to do, being idle at home is also idle, Tong Zhi'er became more playful, so she followed Tong Zhaofu and Tong Zhu'er out to pick up firecrackers.

The place where there are firecrackers is at the door of the people's house, which are some leftovers after being lit.

Children are most good at looking for things to play, such as during the Chinese New Year, picking up leftover firecrackers at the door of other people's houses, competing to see who has the most, and then clicking them one by one, listening to the huge "boom" sound, it is also very interesting. interesting.

The three of Tong Zhi'er walked for a while, and they saw Xiao Guo, Lan Hua, and other children who were also looking for firecrackers.

"Zhier," Lan Hua walked up to Tong Zhier and greeted her.

Tong Zhu'er hummed in a low voice, but she hadn't forgotten that Lan Hua secretly sold dolls as dolls.

Lan Hua's left leg was only five steps away from Tong Zhi'er, because of the word "hum", she stopped awkwardly.

She stood in the middle, a little ashamed in her eyes.

"Pearl..."

Tong Zhi'er shouted helplessly, and walked towards Lanhua with a smile, "Lanhua, is your family's reunion dinner ready?"

"Not yet, my mother and sister-in-law are at home, so I have nothing to do." Because of Tong Zhi'er's reassurance, Lan Hua's depressed eyes recovered a little.

Tong Zhi'er took her hand, "Then let's go pick up firecrackers together."

"Ah."

Lan Hua nodded fiercely, and walked forward with her.

"Pearl..."

After walking a few steps, Tong Zhi'er turned her head and said to Tong Zhu'er who was still there.

Tong Zhu'er stomped her feet and followed reluctantly.

A mighty group of children marched in the village, and when they saw traces of burning firecrackers at the door of the next house, they would stop to look for them.

Tong Zhi'er was unlucky and only got three.

"Second sister, look."

Tong Zhaofu ran over and showed her the clothes with firecrackers in them, with a happy expression on his face.

The other children looked at him enviously, Xiao Guo leaned over and praised: "Ah Fu, why are you so good? You have found a lot."

Tong Zhaofu grinned.

Tong Zhi'er touched Tong Zhaofu's head, with a proud expression on his face, "Not bad."

It was still early, and the group continued to move forward.

When passing by the door of Lao Zhang's house, a little accident happened.

A group of children led by Xiao Guo met another group of children led by Tong Zhiyi.

The old lady of the Tong family was defrauded of her family's money by Tong Zhaojin and an outsider, and she was devastated, while the old man Tong had been lying on the bed, but there was no one to discipline Tong Zhiyi.

No one cared about him, Tong Zhiyi suddenly became like a wild horse that had let go of its rein, going crazy with the children in the village.He has an arrogant and domineering personality, and he doesn't make people feel right. Many children in the village are not willing to play with him.Later, Tong Zhiyi was reduced to being with the naughty children in the village, doing all kinds of bad things that make people hate it.

"This is our territory."

Tong Zhiyi raised his chin, speaking arrogantly, followed by five naughty children.

Xiao Guo stood in front, his cheeks were flushed, it was because of Tong Zhiyi's anger.

"Shame on you, we came to this place first. Don't you know what it means to come first?"

"First come first?" Tong Zhiyi sneered, and the five children behind him also laughed loudly.

After laughing, Tong Zhiyi pointed at himself arrogantly and said, "I, stand here first, this site will belong to us."

"You..." I didn't expect Tong Zhiyi to be so shameless, Xiao Guoqi's small chest rose and fell rapidly.

"What?" Tong Zhiyi rolled his eyes, "Didn't you say that first come first? This place, I stood first, this site is mine, you are not convinced?"

"You're talking nonsense, obviously we came first." A little girl behind Xiao Guo said angrily.

Tong Zhiyi smiled and said, "I'm the first one to stand up here." He was referring to the place in front of Xiao Guo and the others. Behind Tong Zhiyi was the firecracker burning area.

"You bastard." The little girl glared at Tong Zhiyi viciously, obviously pissed off by him.

Tong Zhiyi's expression changed suddenly, and he stared at her maliciously.

The little girl trembled, a little scared.

The other boys walked behind Xiao Guo and looked at Tong Zhiyi and the other six.

Tong Zhi'er felt the invisible crackling flames burning in the air.

After a while, Xiao Guo said, "Let's go."

Tong Zhiyi lifted his chin proudly, with a smile on his face again.

"They are too bullying..." Someone behind Xiao Guo murmured.

"Today is Chinese New Year, a day of celebration."

Xiao Guo left a word and walked to another place.

When the others saw this, although they felt unwilling, they still followed him.

Tong Zhi'er couldn't help but look at Xiao Guo a few more times, facing Tong Zhiyi's provocation, he must have been angry in his heart, but considering today's atmosphere, he endured it.This demeanor is impressive.

Tong Zhiyi stared at Tong Zhi'er and the three of them, his eyes fell on the firecrackers that Tong Zhaofu was carrying around his clothes, and he ran over immediately, blocking Tong Zhaofu's way.

"What do you mean?"

Tong Zhi'er blocked Tong Zhaofu behind her, with a cold expression on her face.

"You can leave if you want, leave the firecrackers in your pocket." Tong Zhiyi didn't look at Tong Zhi'er, and said to Tong Zhaofu behind her.

Tong Zhaofu frowned, "I picked this up myself, why should I give it to you?"

"Ha, will you give it?"

Tong Zhaofu protected the firecrackers in his pocket, "No."

"Very good." Tong Zhiyi waved his five younger brothers, and immediately, Tong Zhi'er and the three were surrounded.

"Give it to me!" Tong Zhiyi ordered.

"asshole!"

Xiao Guo on the opposite side cursed, rushed over quickly, kicked a person, and kicked him to the ground.The other people who had been holding their breath for a long time rushed over when they saw Xiao Guo's movements.

Two fists are no match for four hands, but after a while, Tong Zhiyi and his five younger brothers were beaten away by Xiao Guo and others.

"Afu, how are you doing?"

Tong Zhi'er turned to look at Tong Zhaofu.

Tong Zhaofu shook his head, "Second Sister, I'm fine."

"Where's Pearl?"

"Second Sister, I'm fine." Tong Zhu'er said with a trembling voice, she was lying if she said she wasn't afraid, just now Tong Zhiyi brought five people around, she was so frightened that her heart almost jumped out.

Tong Zhi'er breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to thank Xiao Guo and the other children.

"Xiao Guo, thank you."

Tong Zhaofu also said.

Xiao Guo smiled indifferently, keeping his eyes on the firecracker in Tong Zhaofu's pocket, "Ah Fu, you and Tong Zhiyi are in the same private school, will he trouble you in the future?"

This issue is also Tong Zhier's concern.

"He dare not, I have a very good friend." Tong Zhaofu said with a smile, "By the way, I will give you all these firecrackers."

"Ah? I don't want it anymore, you can play with it yourself." Xiao Guo rubbed his head, feeling a little embarrassed that Tong Zhaofu had hit his mind.

Tong Zhaofu didn't say anything, he only kept [-] firecrackers for himself, and gave the rest to Xiao Guo, as his thanks for driving away Tong Zhiyi and others.

"Second sister, third sister, let's go home, mother should have prepared the reunion dinner."

"Ah."

Tong Zhi'er took his hand and Tong Zhu'er with the other, and the three of them walked home together.

"Zhi'er, I'll be with you too." Lan Hua said, walking with the three of them.

Xiao Guo led his friends to share the firecrackers that Tong Zhaofu put on the ground, and picked them up at other people's houses for a while, and then he went home.

On the other side, the six Tong Zhiyi who had been beaten gathered in a small shabby house.

This is the place where the stone mill used to be in the village. Later, a new stone mill house was built, and it was abandoned here. Now Tong Zhiyi and six people use it as a base for activities.

"Relying on the large number of people, it's too abominable."

"The person who beat me today, I remember clearly. When they place an order, let's see how I deal with them."

"Oops, my arm..."

"..."

The five people complained one by one, but they didn't hear Tong Zhiyi say a word, so the five looked at him at the same time.

"Boss, how do you say we should take revenge? Whatever you say, we will do."

Tong Zhiyi had a look of hatred, if Tong Zhaofu hadn't given him the firecrackers, he wouldn't have received so many punches from Xiao Guo.When he was in the private school, this kid dared not move because of the presence of Li Shuyu.Back, there is Xiao Guo backing.If you don't teach him a good lesson, you really can't swallow this breath.

Tong Zhiyi's eyes rolled back and forth, and his mouth curled up.

……

"Going to pick up firecrackers again?"

In the yard, Tong Zhixin frowned when he saw Tong Zhaofu's clothes were stretched.

Tong Zhaofu grinned, pointed at Tong Zhi'er and Tong Zhu'er, and said, "Second sister and third sister have gone too."

Tong Zhixin couldn't say anything more, so he just said: "Your mother and elder sister have already prepared the reunion dinner, go and change your clothes quickly, and clean yourself up."

The three agreed and entered their room.

When passing the main room, Tong Zhi'er ran into Ji Guzi who came out of the guest room.

Although he didn't say anything, he stared at Tong Zhi'er in a strange way.

When she was in the room and looked in the mirror, Tong Zhi'er understood what was going on.

It turned out that my hair became messy at some point, and there were quite a few marks on the light-colored clothes.

Tong Zhi'er is a little embarrassed, well, her image is indeed surprising.

After cleaning up, the three of them went into the kitchen.

There are already a dozen dishes on the stove.

"Mother, eldest sister." The three shouted.

"The dishes are almost ready, tell your father to arrange the tables and chairs." Fang Cui said with a smile.

"Well, I'll go right away." Tong Zhaofu ran out of the kitchen.

When Fang Cuiwei finished frying the last dish, Tong Duo'er, Tong Zhi'er and Tong Zhu'er brought the fried dishes on the stove to the table in the main room one by one.

In order to have an auspicious reunion during the Chinese New Year, a lot of dishes are cooked, and the whole table is full.

Tong Zhi'er counted, there were eighteen dishes in total, six vegetarian dishes and twelve meat dishes.There are stewed trotters, green pepper shredded pork, spicy pork slices, drunken chicken, drunken duck, steamed goose, spicy potato slices, vinegar potato shreds, fried cabbage, stewed lotus root with pig's head, cold pig ears, spicy sausage, spicy stew Chicken wings, spicy fish fillets, spicy cabbage, fried lotus root slices, fried mushrooms, stewed chicken with mushrooms.

Tong Zhixin took the firecrackers, lit them and threw them outside, then fastened the door, and the whole family sat together for a reunion dinner.

"Today's Chinese New Year, don't be polite, just let go of your stomach and eat." Fang Cui smiled and said, looking at Ji Guzi, said: "Mr. Ji, don't be restrained, there are no special dishes, they are all pigs raised at home , chickens, ducks and geese."

Ji Guzi smiled faintly, "I won't, thanks for your hard work, ma'am."

"Father, I'll bring you wine." Tong Zhaofu ran into the house with a smile, took out a jar of rice wine, uncorked the cork, and said, "Father, I'll pour you wine."

Tong Zhixin pushed his bowl over with a smile, and said with a smile, "Okay, Ah Fu."

"Mom, you've worked hard today, I'll give you this big chicken leg." Tong Zhi'er stood up, and put a big hot chicken leg from the big bowl into Fang Cuiwei's bowl.

"Hey." Fang Cui took it with a smile.

"And Dad, this one is yours." Tong Zhu'er put the other chicken leg into the bowl where Tong Zhixin put the vegetables.

Tong Duo'er didn't speak, but silently put a chopstick of meat into the bowls of Tong Zhixin and Fang Cuiwei.

Ji Guzi looked at the warm scene of Tong's family picking up vegetables for each other, and there was envy in his eyes.

"You don't bother to pick it up for me, you can eat it yourself..." Fang Cui said with a smile.

"Bang bang bang——"

Suddenly, there was a rapid and violent knock on the door, breaking the warmth of the room.

　One more later.
