peasant girl wedding

Chapter 225
Time flies quickly, and three months have passed in a blink of an eye.

In early spring, the spring is warm and flowers are blooming, everything is flourishing and full of vitality.

Two months ago, after the eldest lady returned to Beijing, Ji Li came to Tong Zhi'er's house with the bride price.

When the two met, Tong Zhi'er blushed in a rare way.

There are still many details to prepare for getting married. Ji Li met Tong Zhixin and Fang Cuiwei, talked with Tong Zhier for a while, and then returned to the capital.

At this moment, Tong Zhi'er was sitting in the yard, looking at the beautiful spring with a smile on his face.

Tong Zhu'er didn't find her in the house, so she came to the yard, when she saw her, she ran over with a smile, called "Second Sister", and sat down next to her.

"Pearl, are you done with your work?"

Tong Zhi'er turned her face and asked.

Tong Zhu'er nodded, poured herself a glass of water, and after quenching her thirst, she looked at Tong Zhi'er.

She didn't speak for a while, which made Tong Zhi'er a little confused.

"what happened?"

Tong Zhu'er approached her, winked and said, "Second Sister, what did Second Brother-in-law say to you when he came here?"

Tong Zhi'er's face became hot, and she turned away to ignore her, "Why are you asking this?"

Tong Zhi'er doesn't want to talk to her, but Tong Zhu'er refuses to give up.

There is no other reason. After Ji Li left, Tong Zhi'er would be in a daze from time to time, sometimes laughing inexplicably, which tickled her heart.

It is enough to imagine that it must be because Ji Li said something interesting to Tong Zhi'er that she would be like this.

Tong Zhu'er stood up, walked to Tong Zhi'er's side, and coquettishly said: "Second sister, just tell me, I've been guessing for a long time, but I still can't guess."

Tong Zhi'er smiled at her, "Then keep guessing."

"Second Sister!" Tong Zhu'er stomped her feet and covered her face, "Second Sister knows to bully me."

"Pearl..."

Fang Cuiwei's voice came from behind the two of them.

Tong Zhi'er stood up, turned his face, and smiled at Fang Cuiwei.

Fang Cuiwei came over with a plate of plum cake, patted Tong Zhu'er's hand lightly, and said, "You're a girl, why do you ask this? Don't be ashamed!"

"mother……"

Tong Zhu'er acted like a baby, "Mother, help me persuade the second sister, let the second sister tell me, these days, I have a cat's paw scratching and scratching in my heart, I feel uneasy."

"I told you about other people, your second sister and second brother-in-law. How can you know about it?"

Fang Cui glanced at Tong Zhi'er, nodded Tong Zhu'er's nose, and said.

Her joking appearance made Tong Zhu'er suddenly, "Yes, yes, the second brother-in-law and the second sister are really nice."

Tong Zhi'er supported her forehead, it's fine for Tong Zhu'er to tease her, now it's all over, even Fang Cuiwei has come to tease her.

Seeing the smiles of the two covering their faces, Tong Zhi'er changed the subject and said, "Mother, are you and Dad ready?"

Fang Cuiwei took a piece of plum cake to Tong Zhier, then gave another piece to Tong Zhuer, and finally she took a bite, nodded and said, "It's almost there, I can leave next month."

The preparation Tong Zhi'er mentioned was about their family's purchase of a house and property in the capital.

After all, this is their hometown, Tong Zhixin didn't plan to move out, but just bought a house in the capital, they could meet Tong Zhi'er, and when Tong Zhaofu went to the capital in the future, they would have a place to stay.

When the farming season is busy, Tong Zhixin still has to come back to plant and harvest the land.

Probably because they made too much noise and didn't know how to spread it. Later, the whole village knew that they were going to move to the capital.

There is envy, there is jealousy, and there are also those who roll their eyes and gossip.

On this day, Fang Cuiwei was talking with his two daughters in the room, but Tong Zhiming and Tong Zhiyi came.

"Big Brother, Fifth Brother."

Tong Zhixin greeted the two, and Fang Cuiwei came over to entertain them with refreshments.

Tong Zhi'er and Tong Zhu'er didn't come out of the room, they pricked up their ears to listen to the movement outside.

When Tong Zhiming saw the refreshments Fang Cuiwei brought over, his eyes straightened.

This tea is the best bamboo leaf green, and a small bag costs dozens of taels of silver.This pastry is extremely smooth and refreshing, and at least one piece costs a tael of silver. It is the signature of the pastry shop in Qingzhou.

The fourth brother's family is really prosperous, and today is different from the past.

Tong Zhiming sighed in his heart.

"Brother, is your mother bad?"

When Tong Zhiming took a sip of tea, Tong Zhixin asked eagerly.

Under normal circumstances, Tong Zhiming seldom comes to their house. Firstly, they will regularly bring things to the old house to visit the old lady; How to treat him.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, Tong Zhixin would not take the initiative to invite Tong Zhiming.

As for Tong Zhiming, knowing that his fourth younger brother had a relationship with him, it was just out of fun and annoying, so as not to annoy him, the number of visits to the old lady was reduced, and there were fewer things he could take.

Tong Zhiming put the teacup on the table.

He smiled and was about to speak when a voice from outside the door preempted him.

"Brother, is your mother bad?"

When Tong Zhide saw a visitor from Tong Zhixin's house, he glanced casually, but seeing that it was Tong Zhiming, he hurried over immediately.

The old lady is bad, and it's not easy for him, but after all, she is demented now, and she is the one who gave birth to him, so she must repay the favor of giving birth.

"It's okay, mother is fine."

Tong Zhiming replied.

Both Tong Zhide and Tong Zhixin breathed a sigh of relief.

"Second brother, sit down and drink some tea."

Fang Cuiwei made a new cup of tea and came over.

"I'm sorry, my fourth sibling," Tong Zhide took over, and sat down next to Tong Zhixin.

"Fourth brother, I came here to ask you, are you going to move to the capital?"

Tong Zhiming looked at Tong Zhixin nervously, and asked the most relevant question in his heart.

Tong Zhixin shook his head, "No, Zhi'er is going to marry in the capital, and Zhi'er's mother misses her, so she plans to buy a house in the capital, so she can have a place to live when she goes."

Tong Zhiming breathed a sigh of relief, luckily he didn't move away, if Tong Zhixin's family moved out, he wouldn't be able to get anything from the old lady.

However, going to the capital to buy a house would cost money, wouldn't it?The capital is rich in gold and land, if you give him the money, you won't have to worry about it for the rest of your life...

Tong Zhiming's expression changed, and he said, "Fourth brother, since you didn't move to the capital, you won't be able to stay in the capital for long, and you still have to come back. Why buy a house, wouldn't it be more cost-effective to live in an inn?"

Fang Cuiwei and Tong Zhixin just laughed.

Tong Zhiming saw that they didn't mean to be angry, and continued: "Fourth brother, if such a large sum of money is used to find a famous doctor for mother, maybe mother's illness will improve."

As soon as these words came out, the smile on Fang Cuiwei's face faded a little.

It is just right that the old lady has dementia now, and they have less trouble. If the old lady's dementia is cured, will their family...can live in peace?

Fang Cuiwei bit her lower lip, and suddenly thought again, is her thinking too bad?
She looked at Tong Zhixin, waiting for his answer.

"Brother, to be honest, in fact, my mother is doing well now. Although she can't remember anything, she is in good health, and she can get out of bed and walk around the yard. It's not me, my mother was too impatient before. , I get angry at every turn, and my health is always bad. Now, my mind is at peace, which is actually a kind of blessing."

Tong Zhiming raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Fourth brother, don't you want to treat mother?"

Tong Zhixin nodded, "Ah Ping said, Mother's quick temper has set all internal organs on fire, if it continues like this in the future, I'm afraid this body will get worse every year, within three years, it will... ... Sigh, instead of trying everything possible to find a doctor, and after the mother is cured, she will return to her previous appearance and live a good life in a few years, I would rather my mother is like this, with a peaceful mind and a long life."

Tong Zhiming was speechless.

With what he said just now, he thought he had caught Tong Zhixin's handle and blackmailed him well.After all, now, Tong Zhixin is a respectable person, face is the most important thing.But who would have thought that Tong Zhixin's next sentence would have suppressed him so hard that he couldn't get angry.

"And," Tong Zhixin continued.

Tong Zhiming answered weakly: "And what?"

"Furthermore, Ah Ping is a member of Xinglin Dong's family. Xinglin Dong's family is a master of medicine in this world. They can't cure the disease. I'm afraid others will be powerless..."

The hall fell silent.

Tong Zhiming sat for a while, then resigned.

Tong Zhiyi followed him to stand up, came out of the door, suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at Tong Zhixin, as if mustering up a lot of courage, "Fourth Brother, I..."

"Fifth brother, what do you want to say?"

Tong Zhiyi looked at Tong Zhixin, recalled the things he did when he was a child, stopped talking, and left without saying anything.

Both Tong Zhixin and Fang Cuiwei looked at him strangely, but neither of them asked.

During dinner at night, Tong Zhixin said, "Before we leave, let's go see the old lady."

Fang Cuiwei has no objection.

Tong Zhixin set his sights on Tong Zhier.

Tong Zhi'er put down the bowl and chopsticks and nodded.

One month, whether it is long or short, when Tong Zhi'er has read the account books of Tong's shop and explained the matter, it will be the time to leave for the capital.

Today, the wind is sunny and cloudless.

The spring wind is blowing on the face, which is very warm.

Tong Zhixin's family and Tong Zhide's family set off for Tong's old house.

Tong Zhi'er was walking on the road, looking at this familiar and unfamiliar trail, all kinds of things from yesterday appeared in front of her eyes.

At that time, she had just come to this world. In the courtyard of the old house, she had the most warm moments with Tong Zhixin's family, and also had violent moments when she felt uncomfortable and full of anger.

Now, stepping into this courtyard again, Tong Zhi'er felt as if she had been in another world.

An old man was sitting under the locust tree in the yard. The warm spring sun passed through the gap between the locust trees and hit the old man's head with a faint halo.

The old man applied for some dementia, his eyes were dull and out of focus.
