peasant girl wedding

Chapter 23
The sun was setting, and the fiery red sunset smudged half of the sky.The April evening wind blows on my face, warm and cool.

When Tong Zhixin and others returned to the gate of Tong's house, they saw Tongduo's children Zhu'er and Tong Zhaofu waiting at the gate. When the children saw their parents, a look of joy flashed across their faces. They walked over quickly and shouted: " Father, mother, Zhi'er (second sister)."

"Why are you waiting at the door?" Tong Zhixin patted his youngest son's head, then looked at his two daughters, and said warmly.

The three of them didn't speak, they just smiled.

Tong Zhixin and Fang Cuiwei also smiled, took the hands of their children, and walked straight to the main house.

Tong Zhaofu slipped to Tong Zhier's side, his big eyes were very curious, "Second Sister, is the county fun?"

Before Tong Zhi'er could speak, Tong Duo'er laughed, "Ah Fu, your second sister didn't go to the county to play."

"Second Sister, how is Eldest Brother?" Tong Zhu'er whispered.

Tong Duo'er and Tong Zhaofu also looked at Tong Zhi'er.

Tong Zhi'er blinked, "I'll tell you later."

While talking, the main house arrived, Tong Zhixin asked Fang Cuiwei and a few children to wait outside, and then entered the house.

Old man Tong and Mrs. Tong had been waiting in the room for a long time, seeing Tong Zhixin enter the room, old man Tong said: "How is Zhao Jin?"

"Father, mother, you don't have to worry, Zhao Jin is fine."

Old man Tong heaved a sigh of relief, the most concerned problem was solved, and he asked Tong Zhixin some other things, such as how Tong Zhaojin and his wife were doing in the county, and whether the money was enough.

"Okay, you've been tired all day, go back and rest early." Noticing the tiredness on Tong Zhixin's eyebrows, Old Man Tong said.

Tong Zhixin, who still has something to say, naturally won't leave now, not to mention that his eldest brother and sister-in-law are still watching him helplessly.Tong Zhixin took out the silver from his bosom, took out only four taels, walked up to Mrs. Tong, and said, "Mother, I will keep these silver for you."

Mrs. Tong frowned, but she didn't answer, "Take it for me? Forget it, if you come here every few days to get the money, I'll be annoyed too."

Lin's eyes twitched, and her breathing became a little short.

Tong Zhiming also stared nervously at Mrs. Tong.

Old Man Tong said, "Fourth Brother, this is money you earned yourself, you just keep it."

"Mother, this money is entrusted to you, and how you use it is up to you."

The old lady Tong frowned, "Really?"

Tong Zhixin nodded heavily.

Looking at the bulging purse, Mrs. Tong was delighted in her heart, but said indifferently on her face: "En." She took the purse and hid it in her bosom.

Lin and Tong Zhiming at the side both heaved a sigh of relief, and finally, the money was in the hands of the mother.

After doing this, Tong Zhixin no longer stayed in the main house, and returned to his own courtyard with his wife and several children.

Luo Shi, who stayed at home to serve Mrs. Tong and Old Man Tong, followed her husband Tong Zhide back to the courtyard, closed the door, and said in a low voice, "Father, what's going on with fourth brother?"

Tong Zhide sighed, and immediately told Luo Shi what happened in the county.

"There is such a thing?" Luo Shi exclaimed.

Tong Zhide took a sip of tea, sighed again, and said with a wry smile: "Mother, Zhaoyin's marriage will probably be postponed again."

"Father, don't worry. I've figured it out in the past two days. The fourth brother can do business. In the slack season, we will ask Zhaoyin to follow his fourth uncle. No matter what, he can earn some money. You're only fourteen, and you're still several years away from getting married, so there's no rush."

Seeing hope, Luo Shi felt at ease instead.

Tong Zhide patted her hand, the two of them talked again, and they simply ate and then rested.

At this moment, Tong Zhixin's yard and the lights inside the house are still lit.

Tong Duo'er and the others were very angry when they heard Tong Zhi'er talking about the county affairs.The eldest sister Tong Duo'er bit her lip, the third sister Tong Zhu'er had red eyes, and the younger brother Tong Zhaofu puffed up his cheeks as if he wanted to eat someone.

Tong Zhi'er comforted them and said: "Don't be angry, anyway, all the money is handed over to Nai Nai now, and uncle and auntie won't come to trouble our fourth room."Moreover, she gained the trust of Tong Zhixin and Fang Cuiwei, as well as the precious affection of her family.This cannot be replaced by silver.Besides, if the money is gone, you can still earn it back. You just need to be careful in the future, and don't let the uncle and aunt find out.

Tong Duo'er and Tong Zhu'er nodded.

Tong Zhaofu lowered his head in frustration and didn't speak.

"Ah Fu..."

"Second sister, tell me, if I'm successful, uncle and aunt won't dare to bully our parents." Tong Zhaofu's eyes were bright, and there was a firmness in the translucent black color.

Tong Zhier nodded heavily, "Yes."

"Second sister, I will definitely go back to my private school and study hard." Tong Zhaofu's small face was full of determination.

Tong Zhi'er smiled happily, touched his head, and said, "It's good that Ah Fu knows what he wants, but Ah Fu is still young, so don't work too hard, you know?"

Tong Zhaofu nodded and said in his heart: He must study harder than others, pay ten times and a hundred times, he must be a promising person, and never let his father and mother be bullied.

At night, Tong Zhi'er listened to the slight snoring around him, opened his eyes and looked at the thatched roof with a smile in his eyes.

Although the money she earned for the first time today is gone, and although she was disgusted by the shamelessness of her uncle and aunt, she has gained the trust of her long-lost relatives. With this trust, she believes that her future life will definitely be Getting better and better.

Closing her eyes, Tong Zhi'er had a sweet smile on her lips.

In the middle of the night, all the children fell asleep.

"My child, I..." Tong Zhixin tossed and turned in the middle of the night, but he was still not asleep.

Fang Cuiwei gave a dazed "um", she was a little tired after walking a long way today.

Tong Zhixin turned over, looked at the sleeping faces of his wife and several children under the faint moonlight, but stopped talking.

Fang Cuiwei, who was sleeping soundly, was waiting for her husband to speak, but who would have waited for a long time but did not see him say a word, so she immediately said, "Father, what do you want to say?"

"...It's okay, you're tired today, go to sleep." Tong Zhixin said, pulling the quilt for Fang Cuiwei.

"I don't care if I have money or not, as long as our family is doing well, I'm satisfied." After saying a word, Fang Cuiwei turned over, facing Tong Zhixin with the back of her head.

Tong Zhi was greatly moved in his confidence, he knew what kind of person his wife was, but when he heard her say these words with his own ears, his heart was even more moved.How can he marry such a wife in his life?
"His mother..." Tong Zhixin hugged Fang Cuiwei from behind, and kissed the back of her neck.

"Hey, the children are here, you..."
