peasant girl wedding

Chapter 182 Two Years
On the edge of the woods, there are two families.

One is a brick house and the other is a thatched house.

Tie Sheng took a deep breath, raised his feet and strode forward.

He stopped not far from the brick house.

In front of the yard, a girl with a big braid behind her head was weeding with a small shovel.

Tiesheng looked at her for a while, and was about to speak, but the girl suddenly turned her head and met his eyes.

Tie Sheng's heart skipped a beat.

What a sign girl.

Delicate eyebrows, small nose bridge, plump lips.

Her skin is as white as a porcelain doll.

When Tiesheng looked at her, his cheeks became hot.

"who are you?"

Tong Zhi'er walked up to the strange boy and asked.

Tie Sheng was in a trance for a while.

Her voice was also nice, soft and soft, tickling his heart.

Tong Zhi'er looked at the dazed young man who applied for it, and couldn't help thinking to himself: Could it be that he is an idiot?
Tong Zhi'er turned his head and went into the room. When he came out, he had a bowl of gruel and a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake in his hand.

"Give."

Tiesheng mechanically took it, staring at the porridge and sweet-scented osmanthus cake in his hand in a daze.

"Is this for me?" He asked hesitantly.

Tong Zhi'er nodded, then stopped looking at him, returned to the original place, took the shovel and continued weeding.

In the yard where the stones are not connected tightly, blue grass will grow from time to time. When she sees it, she will clean it up with a shovel.

"Second sister."

Tong Zhu'er's voice came from inside the room, Tong Zhi'er replied without looking back: "Where am I outside?"

Tiesheng saw a little girl with two buns and a floral skirt coming out.

He called the girl from before, Second Sister, which means...it was Tong Zhi'er who gave him porridge and sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

She is such a kind girl, Tie Sheng thought.

My heart became more and more determined, and I wanted to marry her as my wife.

The two pancakes he ate had long been a joke, Tie Sheng drank the porridge in a splash, and then took the sweet-scented osmanthus cake from the plate.

"Second sister, who is this person?"

Tong Zhu'er asked quietly in Tong Zhi'er's ear.

Tong Zhi'er shook his head, "I don't know him either, he's an idiot, and when we're full, we'll find Brother Dong and ask Brother Dong to send him back."

Tiesheng choked while eating the sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

Tong Zhi'er and Tong Zhu'er were startled by the coughing sound, one ran into the house to serve tea, and the other patted her on the back.

Anyway, Tong Zhi'er is not ready yet, so he doesn't need to pay special attention to the defense of men and women.What's more, the one in front of her was just a child not much older than her.

"I'm not a fool."

"What?" He spoke vaguely, Tong Zhi'er didn't hear clearly.

At this time, Tong Zhu'er brought a cup of tea from the house.

After Tiesheng drank it, the sweet-scented osmanthus cake stuck in his throat finally went down.

He blushed, and repeated what he had just said to Tong Zhi'er, then put the bowl, saucer and cup on the ground, and strode away without looking back.

To be laughed at as an idiot is really useless.

Tiesheng thought, he must not let her know who he is.

"You wait."

Hearing Tong Zhi'er's cry, Tie Sheng walked faster, and after a while, he started to run.

Tong Zhi'er stared dumbfounded at the sound of the man running away, and sighed softly, feeling a little annoyed.

……

When Tiesheng ran back inside, it was already dark.

He pushed open the door and met his parents' worried eyes.

"Tiesheng, where did you go? Your mother asked you to eat, but you didn't respond, the food was cold." His father said with a dark face.

His mother didn't say anything, went to the kitchen to heat up the food, then brought it to the table,

"Tiesheng, don't be discouraged, wait until tomorrow, mother is asking sister-in-law of the Wu family to tell you a good girl."

His mother comforted Tie Sheng.

Tie Sheng shook his head, "Mom, I just want to study hard now."

"This……"

Tie Shengniang didn't expect Tie Sheng to say that, looking at his calm face, she didn't know for a moment whether it was because Tong Zhi'er's incident hit him, or because he really thought so.

Mother Tie Sheng looked at Father Tie Sheng.

Tie Sheng's father said, "You're already fifteen, and it's time to get married. In ancient times, there was only talk about getting married and starting a business. It said that you should start a family first and then start a business. In this way, you don't have to worry about the future."

"Father, mother, I'm going to take the Juren exam in two years, I don't want to be distracted."

Tie Sheng used this matter to suppress his words, but Tie Sheng's parents had no choice.

They were very happy that Tie Sheng was so self-motivated.

However, Tie Sheng didn't want to marry a wife, but they wanted to pay attention to girls of other people's marriageable age, so that when the time came, Tie Sheng could propose marriage.

.........

Spring goes east and spring comes again, and in a flash, another spring and another winter have passed.

Today, Tong Zhi'er is 14 years old and two months before Ji's birthday.

In the past two years, Tong Zhixin's shop in the county has been booming, and Tong Zhi'er's shop in Qingzhou is also booming.

Tofu originally originated in her family. Tong Zhier put up the signboard of Tongji Tofu Stand, and many people came to buy it.In addition to selling tofu, Tong Zhier also sells her previous livelihood in the county, such as peanuts and embroidery.

In addition, there are jewelry designed by Tong Zhuer.

In the past two years, she has been able to design generous and beautiful jewelry through self-study and exploration, and paying tribute to Zhou Yunniang's top-quality jewelry.Although it didn't sell much, it was a good encouragement to Tong Zhu'er after all.

As for the Tong family, Tong Zhixin dug his [-] mu of land into a lotus pond, planted lotus roots in it, and stocked fish fry in the water.

In early summer, the layers of green lotus leaves are very luxuriant. Tong Zhixin built a pavilion by the side of the lotus pond, with stone chairs arranged in the pavilion.

Every summer night, this is the favorite place for Tong Zhi'er's sisters to come.

Appreciating the lotus with the moon, the breeze facing the face, the moon shadowed in the water, and the sparkling light are very artistic.

But this summer, their family did not have such a leisurely time to appreciate the lotus.

Because, Tong Duo'er is getting married.

The two-year period has passed, and Tong Zhixin and Fang Cuiwei have also prepared the dowry for Tong Duo'er. They have made an appointment with Dong Ping's parents, and they plan to send Tong Duo'er to marry on May 22. .

The place to send off the wedding is naturally Dong Ping's Dong family in Xinglin, which is a thousand miles away from here, which is very far away.

Tong Zhixin and Fang Cuiwei had a lot of preparations to do.

Count the dowry, the betrothal gift from Dong Ping, and the things that Tong Duoer should take care of after marrying into the Dong family.

Although Dong Ping told them that they got married in Dong's family, but after getting married, Dong Ping would bring Tong Duo'er back to live here.

Their Dong family has several houses, and there is no shortage of people from their big house. What's more, Dong Ping is not the eldest son, so he doesn't have to bear the heavy responsibility of inheriting the long house's family business.

This is also the reason why Tong Zhixin and Fang Cuiwei agreed to Dong Ping's marriage proposal when they knew that Xinglin Dong's family was a big family.

He had planned for a long time, so that Tong Duo'er could live a more relaxed and simple life.

If not, Fang Cuiwei would not be willing to marry her innocent Tong Duoer into these rich families.

Not only she can't, Tong Zhi'er, Tong Zhu'er, Fang Cuiwei won't give in either.

"Squeak..."

Fang Cuiwei pushed open the door of Tong Zhi'er's room and found that she was still sitting by the table.

"Zhi'er, it's getting late, why haven't you slept yet?"

"I'm almost finished reading the last account book."

Tong Zhi'er looked up and smiled at her.

Fang Cuiwei gently put the sweet soup and hot tea on the table, sat down next to Tong Zhi'er, and looked at her sideways.

In the past two years, Tong Zhi'er has become more and more graceful.

It used to be a little round, without a small face, and the line of the chin has become sharp and smooth.What remained unchanged were her big watery eyes and rosy skin.

Fang Cuiwei once sighed and said, "Zhi'er, why are your sisters' skin getting better and better".

Tong Zhi'er at the time said that it was because she asked her eldest sister and Zhu'er to drink soy milk with her every day.Tong Zhi'er also let her drink, but since she is married, she doesn't need to care about her skin, anyway, Tong Zhixin will not despise her.

Therefore, Tong Zhi'er didn't try to persuade her any more, but the three sisters in the family, as well as Fang Ruyan, Zhou Yunniang and Tong Hua'er who came to their house as guests also followed her example and made soy milk every morning.

Speaking of Zhou Yunniang, Tong Zhide's family has to be mentioned.

In the second year after Zhou Yunniang gave birth to a fat boy, Tong Zhide built a brick house next to the [-] mu of land his family bought.

Farmers build houses as close as possible to their own land, which is also convenient for doing farm work.

However, the distance between Tong Zhide's house and Tong Zhixin's house is not too far. Fang Cuiwei stood at the door and looked out, and could see the smoke from Tong Zhide's firewood cooking. The two families walked for a quarter of an hour. , very convenient.

The thatched cottage where Tong Zhide's family lived, and the log cabin that Tong Zhaoyin and Zhou Yunniang used as their new house, are now used by Tong Zhixin's family as a house for storing sundries.

Tong Hua'er was born before Zhou Yunniang. She was pregnant with twins. Dong Ping didn't get her pulse until she was eight months old, because one of the children's pulse was very weak.

This frightened Wang Tu and Wang Yangshi, they bought a lot of supplements for Tong Huaer, and often invited Dong Ping to help Tong Huaer diagnose her pulse.

In this way, it will be considered smooth when Tong Hua'er gives birth.

The two children born are twins, the first one is a boy and the second one is a girl.

Although the boy came out first, his body was weaker than the younger sister who came out later.

Because they are twins, the two children look smaller than the other children.Other than that, though, everything was healthy.

For this reason, Wang Tu and Wang Yang are extremely grateful to Dong Ping.

Tong Hua'er gave birth to twins, and Wang Yang made her twin confinement sons.It was not until two months later that Tong Hua'er agreed to get out of bed and hug the child.

When Fang Cuiwei heard about this, she was thinking at the time that when looking for a husband's family for Tong Zhi'er and Tong Zhu'er, she must also find someone who loves her daughter-in-law like Wang Yang and treats her daughter-in-law as a treasure.
