peasant girl wedding

Chapter 53
They were about to go back after beating pigweed, but they saw Tong Zhi'er grabbed a few bedbugs with a cloth and stuffed them in, rubbing them constantly.The stench came out, Tong Duo'er and Tong Zhu'er covered their noses at the same time.

"Zhier, what are you doing?"

Tong Zhi'er bared her teeth and saw that the cloth strips wrapped in bedbugs had wiped her sleeves, neckline, waist and legs. Immediately, her body was stained with an unpleasant stench, which made Tong Duo'er and Tong Zhu feel sick. The two couldn't help but stay away from her.

"Eldest sister, Zhu'er, you should also apply a little bit, so that grandma won't know anything."

Um, they also want to wipe?
Tong Duo'er and Tong Zhu'er were dumbfounded.

But thinking of the old lady's sensitivity, the two of them had no choice but to cover their noses, stretch out their hands tremblingly, and took the cloth wrapped in bedbugs from Tong Zhi'er's hand.

"ah----"

Tong Duoer, who was about to wipe herself, did not expect that the cloth would be snatched away by Tong Cuier, so she cried out in surprise.However, she wasn't too annoyed, she only started after Tong Cui'er finished wiping herself, and then went on to wipe Tong Zhu'er.

The four returned home stinking, but the old lady didn't have time to pay attention to them, she kept cursing in the yard.

After feeding the pigs, the three of Tong Duo'er returned to the courtyard of Sifang.

"Why do you three stink so much?" Fang Cui frowned slightly, and immediately fetched water, asking the three of them to wash off the stink.

The three of them laughed twice, without saying anything, took the ladle from Fang Cuiwei's hand, those who fetched water fetched water, and those who held the basin held the basin.

Tong Zhi'er washed her hands with acacia seeds, took out the honey that Tong Cui'er had hidden in her bosom while Tong Cui'er was not paying attention, and handed it to Fang Cuiwei, "Mother, try this."

"Mother, honey is delicious." Tong Zhu'er turned her head and said excitedly to Fang Cuiwei.

Tong Duo'er, who was fetching water, also looked over, looking forward to Fang Cuiwei's actions.

Honey?This is the best stuff.

Fang Cuiwei looked at the things wrapped in cloth in her hands, her nervous palms trembled.She opened the wrapped cloth, and the shiny honey appeared in front of her eyes, and the alluring and clear fragrance rushed into her nose.

"Zhi'er, where did you get the honey?"

"Mother, it was the forest I went to yesterday, and there is still a lot of honey in it."

Knowing that Tong Zhi'er did it by herself, Fang Cuiwei was both surprised and worried. She patted Tong Zhi'er's head and asked, "Have you ever been stung by a bee?"

Tong Zhi'er shook his head with a smile, and urged Fang Cuiwei to say: "Mother, try it quickly."

"Mm," Fang Cui lowered her head slightly, opened her mouth under the eyes of several children, and took a bite lightly.

"It's delicious!" Fang Cui said with a smile.

Tong Duo'er, Tong Zhi'er and Tong Zhu'er also laughed happily.

Missing her husband and youngest son, Fang Cuiwei only took a bite, put the honey in the house and put it away, and took Tong Duo'er in a few happy clothes and came out.

"Mother, why is grandma scolding in the yard? What else happened at home today?" The old lady's scolding continued to come from the direction of the main house, and Tong Duo'er couldn't help asking.

Fang Cui sighed slightly, and shook her head helplessly, "Your grandma said that she wanted to invite someone who went to the woods to find you and Zhi'er for dinner yesterday, and asked your father for money. Your father said, take the money to buy land, and hand There is nothing left in it. Your grandma asked and found out that what you bought was a wild fruit forest that no one in the village bought, so you were so angry that you scolded your father and asked him to sell the land for money."

Tong Zhi'er, who was bathing in the basin, almost jumped out, "Then dad sold the land?"

Fang Cui shook her head slightly, "Your father doesn't want to, your grandma is beating and scolding, but there is nothing she can do about him."

Tong Zhier breathed a sigh of relief, what she was most afraid of was that Tong Zhixin was too foolish and filial, and the old lady asked him to sell the land, so he sold the land.

"Mom, where is Dad now?"

"Your grandma said, no matter what, we have to pay the money for this treat. Your father went to your uncle's house to borrow the money."

Uncle Fang Dalin is a good man, Tong Zhixin must be able to borrow money.

In the evening, Tong Zhixin really returned to Tong's house with the money.As soon as he entered the house, the first thing he did was to give the money to the old lady.After scolding for a whole day, the old lady, who had no problem with her voice, took the money and finally became silent.

Tong Zhixin dragged his exhausted body back to the courtyard of the fourth room.

"Let's borrow it first, don't worry about paying it back." Fang Cuiwei fetched water and entered the room, comforting him.

Tong Zhixin shook, feeling a little ashamed, "I'm not worried about this."

Asking Fang Dalin to borrow money this time, he completely lost face in the Fang family.Thinking of a man who had to borrow even money from his daughter-in-law's natal family, Tong Zhixin felt very blocked.

"My son's father," Fang Cuiwei held Tong Zhixin's hand, and said softly, "Borrowing money is nothing shameful. My parents and elder brother won't think about it when anyone is in a hurry. Let's live frugally." , I will mend a few more clothes for others in the future, and the money will always be paid back. By the way, girl Zhi’er got a good thing today, I’ll go and get it for you..."

Tong Zhixin looked at his wife's figure going to the back room, and the shame and shame on his face were a little less.With Fang Cuiwei's explanation, he was really relieved a lot.

"Give----"

"This is honey?" Tong Zhixin looked at the thing Fang Cuiwei handed over in surprise.

Fang Cui nodded slightly, "It's honey, try it quickly."

Tong Zhixin broke off a small piece and fed it into his mouth. The sweet taste sweetened his heart, "When Ah Fu comes back, give them some children to eat." Then, he handed the honey to the honey again. Fang Cuiwei.

Fang Cuiwei knew that he felt sorry for the children, so he didn't say much, just wrapped the honey in a cloth, "We Zhi'er is smart and capable, we must be lucky in the future. This honey is what she found in the woods , Zhi’er said, there are still some more…”

Tong Zhixin didn't listen carefully to Fang Cuiwei's rambling words, his mind was completely occupied by the honey in the forest.

If these honeys can be taken out and sold in the county, they will definitely earn a lot of money. At that time, the money borrowed by the Fang family can also be repaid.

Thinking of this, Tong Zhixin's face blushed with excitement, and he couldn't help but glance outside the door, waiting to pick up Tong Zhi'er who was home from Tong Zhaofu.

"Second sister, here—"

On the path home, Tong Zhaofu took out a steamed bun from his cloth bag and stuffed it into Tong Zhier's hand.

The steamed buns were prepared for Tong Zhaofu in the morning. He brought a total of two, one for the road and one for lunch.

The steamed buns that were warm in the morning have become cold and hard now, Tong Zhier looked at the steamed buns with a trembling voice, "Ah Fu, what are you leaving for me?"

"Second Sister, don't worry these three days, Ah Fu will leave you a steamed bun every day."

"Idiot," Tong Zhi'er flicked his fingers at Tong Zhaofu's forehead, and said angrily, "You don't know who your second sister is, if you don't give me food, I'm going to starve myself Die? Let me tell you, your second sister and I found the most delicious food today, and I’m so full. From now on, you have to obediently eat steamed buns, and don’t keep them for me, otherwise, I will Don't leave good things to you."
