peasant girl wedding

Chapter 56

As night fell, it was supposed to be the time to rest, but the Tong family's fourth room was still very lively.

"Duo'er, Zhi'er, Zhu'er, Ah Fu, what do you all want?" Tong Zhixin said, looking at his children with a blushing face.

Tong Duo'er excitedly said: "Father, let's get some cloth for the family, after the Dragon Boat Festival, summer will come, and then my mother and I can add some clothes for the big guy."

"Okay, okay, after the business of treating guests is over, let's go to the county to buy, Zhi'er, Zhu'er, how about the two of you?"

"Father, I haven't made up my mind yet." Tong Zhi'er grinned.

Tong Zhixin chuckled and waved his hands, "Don't worry, just think about it slowly," then looked at Tong Zhu'er.

Tong Zhu'er, who had been thinking about it for a long time, raised her head and said: "Father, you bought some eggs and lotus seed paste during the Dragon Boat Festival, and the eldest sister said to make egg yolk rice dumplings and lotus seed rice dumplings."

"Well, when the time comes, we will buy another two catties of pork, and let's make some meat dumplings."

"Yeah." Tong Zhu'er nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

Several people looked at Tong Zhaofu.

"Father, just buy me some books." Tong Zhaofu said.

Tong Zhi's confidence was shaken, and he looked at Tong Zhaofu for a long time without saying a word.

He was so excited.

"Okay, I'll buy whatever books Ah Fu wants for you." Tong Zhixin stood up, patted Tong Zhaofu's small shoulder, and said loudly.He is very happy that Tong Zhaofu can put his heart on studying, and at the same time, he has more expectations for Tong Zhaofu.

"Father, you asked us, but you haven't asked mother what she wants?" Tong Zhi'er said.

Tong Duo'er and Tong Zhu'er also nodded to Tong Zhixin at the same time.

Being reminded by Tong Zhi'er, Tong Zhixin scratched his head, looked at Fang Cuiwei, and said, "Daughter-in-law, what do you want?"

Surrounded by the eager gazes of her husband and several children, Fang Cuiwei said embarrassingly: "I don't want anything."

"Father, buy some jewelry for mother."

For a long time, Fang Cuiwei's dress has been to wrap her hair with a square scarf, and Tong Zhi'er has never seen her wearing any jewelry.

Tong Zhixin was startled, staring blankly at his daughter-in-law.

Suddenly, she realized that Fang Cuiwei really didn't have any jewelry on her body.

"Daughter-in-law..." Walking over, she looked at Fang Cuiwei guiltily.Since the marriage, Fang Cuiwei has given birth to four children for him, but he has never given her any decent jewelry.The mother is not a generous person, the children are not allowed to see a doctor when they are sick, and the daughter-in-law can only sell her own jewelry.

"After so many years, I've gotten used to it. Besides, I'm not a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl anymore. It doesn't matter whether I wear jewelry or not. Don't listen to Zhi'er, buy some eggs and pork for the family, and give it to Ah Fu. Just buy some books."

Tong Zhixin didn't speak, but he made up his mind in his heart and knew what he should do.

With the chicken, duck and fish bought by Tong Zhixin, the old lady treated the guests on the third day.Fang Cuiwei and Luo Shi had done the preparation work the day before.It took only a while for the villagers to arrive, and the meal was ready.

Holding his glass of wine, Mr. Tong said to everyone: "Thank you for your kindness to my granddaughter. I'm really sorry that I don't have any decent meals to entertain you."

"You're being polite, old man. With so many chickens and ducks, we won't be able to eat a few meals during the holidays. Don't you think so?" Someone said in a rough voice, and the others immediately joined in.

The meals prepared by Tong's family today really surprised them. They thought that Tong's family invited them to dinner, they only prepared some home-cooked side dishes, just to express their gratitude, but who would have thought that they had everything from chicken, duck to fish.

The food of the host's house is a testament to their hospitality.

Therefore, everyone is sincerely grateful to Mr. Tong and Mrs. Tong for their hospitality.

Hearing everyone's grateful words, Mr. Tong was in a good mood, and said again: "I'll drink this glass of wine first as a respect, everyone, please don't be polite." Everyone also raised their glasses and drank with him.

"Old man, you must tell Zhi'er and Duo'er girls not to enter the forest again, because there are ferocious beasts in that forest." Someone said.

When the old lady next to Mr. Tong heard this, she became angry in her heart, "We will naturally take good care of her and won't cause you any more trouble."

"Old lady, you misunderstood me. That day, when we went into the woods to find Zhi'er, she told us that there were no beasts in the woods, and I don't know if she didn't meet them or something. I heard What she said seems to mean that she will go in again, you must be careful, if she goes in again, you don't know if she will be as lucky as this time."

There is still such a stubble!
Shame, really shame.

The old lady stomped her feet and immediately went to the backyard.

The cups and plates in the front are intertwined, and in the backyard, Tong Duo'er, Tong Zhi'er and Tong Zhu'er are cleaning the dishes and plates.

"Zhu'er, are you hungry?" Tong Duo'er asked, noticing Tong Zhu'er staring blankly at the kitchen.

Tong Zhu'er let out a "hmm", rubbed her belly, and said, "Sister, we've been busy since we woke up early in the morning, I'm really hungry."

"Zhu'er, hold on, here, you eat this first." Tong Duo'er took out half a steamed bun from her pocket and handed it to Tong Zhu'er.Tong Zhu'er took the steamed bun and was about to stuff it into her mouth, but she was startled by the old lady's sudden roar, and the steamed bun fell to the ground with a whoosh.

Tong Zhu'er hurriedly picked up the steamed bun, patted the ashes on it, and swallowed it in two or three bites.

"Zhi'er, hurry up and apologize to everyone!"

The old lady grabbed Tong Zhi'er's arm and lifted her up.

Tong Zhi'er was in severe pain, and said in a low voice, "Grandma, you hurt me."

The old lady glared at her, but still did not let go.

Tong Zhi'er was very angry, and saw a piece of wood in the middle of the road in front of her, she had an idea, twisted her body, squatted down, and quickly picked up the wood, and when the old lady turned her head to look at her, she quickly picked up the wood. still at the feet of the old lady.

"Damn girl, if you don't give me a good apology, be careful... Ah!"

The scolding stopped abruptly, and the old lady tripped over the wood and fell to the ground, making a loud "bang", and screamed "Ouch".

Tong Zhi'er was secretly refreshed.

"That murderer wants to kill my old lady, come out, come out for me... What are you doing standing there stupidly? Why don't you help me up quickly!" Seeing Tong Zhi'er standing where she was, the old lady didn't come over to help her , I was even more angry.

"Grandma, how are you? Are you injured anywhere?" Tong Zhi'er looked at the old lady with a pale face, and "accidentally" stepped on the old lady's hand.

"what----"

There was another pig-killing roar.

Tong Zhi'er was "scared" and burst into tears, "Grandma, what's wrong with you? Don't scare Zhi'er?"

Tong Duo'er and Tong Zhu'er who came over looked at this scene and were dumbfounded.
