peasant girl wedding

Chapter 88 Angry

Dong Pingniang looked at Tong Zhi'er twice more, and was secretly satisfied.

Although Tong's family is a peasant family, there are rules.

Thinking about it this way, Dong Pingniang became a bit more thoughtful.

"It's good to do needlework. I used to learn herbal medicine from my husband, so I didn't have the time and energy to do my daughter's needlework."

Tong Zhi'er rolled her eyes, and immediately took over the words, "Auntie, I'll take you to see my sister's needlework, it's not me boasting, my sister's hand is just a coincidence, the pattern embroidered is just like the real thing. "

Saying that, Tong Zhi'er went to Dong Pingniang's side, helped her up, and walked to Tong Duo'er's room.

Seeing this, Fang Cuiwei followed into the house.

Tong Zhu'er also followed the three of them into the house.

In the main room, Tong Zhixin and Dong Ping's father started chatting.

"Old Doctor Dong, it's hard work for you to be doctors. I have seen Doctor Dong go to the forest to collect medicine with a basket on his back several times. Once he goes in, he won't come out for several days..."

"Yeah, there are hardships in every line of work..."

The topic was opened, and Tong Zhixin and Dong Ping's father got along very happily.

Only Dong Ping was restless, staring at Tong Duo'er's room.

In the room, because Dong Pingniang came in, the atmosphere became a little tense.

Tong Duo'er got up and stood behind the door curtain, bowed to Dong Pingniang, then stood there quietly with her head down.

Dong Pingniang's eyes fell on Tong Duo'er.

This is a quiet and virtuous girl, she is not as smart as her younger sister, but there is a gentle and amiable atmosphere everywhere, which makes people can't help being close and pitying.

Dong Pingniang was somewhat satisfied with her delicate appearance.

This appearance and temperament are worthy of Ping'er.

Moving her gaze back, Dong Pingniang's eyes were fixed on the pillowcase on the bedside.

"The mandarin ducks are embroidered really well," Dong Pingniang walked to the bed, took the pillowcase in her hand and looked at it carefully.The stitching on the pillowcase is very uniform and meticulous, and the pattern is also exquisite.

"Auntie, my elder sister's sewing is all in the box," Tong Zhi'er walked to the closet, opened the door, took out a black box and put it on the table.

The box was opened, and Dong Pingniang was presented with a lot of embroidery.

Purses, handkerchiefs, gauntlets...

The most rare thing is the double-sided embroidery on this handkerchief. Double-sided embroidery pays attention to the embroidery method, and it also pays attention to a person's patience and quality.Only with a calm mind and a steady hand can a double-sided embroidery be completed.

If Dong Pingniang's first impression of Tong Duo'er just now was that it opened a window, the double-sided embroidered handkerchief full of eyes at this moment opened the door of her heart.

The daughter-in-law she wants to find for Dong Ping is a stable, peaceful and gentle woman.

"Duo'er, you are such a capable and good boy," Dong Pingniang said with a smile on her face as she held Tong Duo'er's hand, and then she took off a green jade bracelet from her wrist, "I'm here today, and I don't have any Thinking about what to bring, this emerald jade bracelet has been with me for 20 years, and now I give it to you."

But Tong Duo'er blushed and refused to accept it, "Auntie, it's too expensive, I can't take it."

Dong Pingniang smiled, and put the emerald jade bracelet directly in her hand, "Take it if you tell me to."

Dong Pingniang walked out of the house, and Fang Cuiwei said: "Eldest sister, you see that Ping'er has already asked someone to marry, shouldn't the dates of the two children be settled?"

"It's time to make a decision, it's time to make a decision," Fang Cui said with a grin.

Hearing this, Tong Zhixin was very surprised. He originally thought that this marriage with the Dong family would not be possible. Who would have thought that such an unexpected result would happen today.

"The child's father, what do you think?"

Tong Zhixin stood up and said with a smile: "The matter of the two children should be settled. When I find someone to calculate the auspicious day, our two families will have a good discussion."

"to make."

At this moment, Dong Ping finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After dinner, Dong Ping's parents left.

Tong Zhi'er walked into the room, happily looking at Tong Duo'er who was full of shyness and joy, "Congratulations, big sister."

"Thank you." Tong Duo'er responded generously.

"Sister, when I meet Dr. Dong in the future, should I call him brother-in-law instead?" Tong Zhu'er tilted her head and asked with a puzzled expression.

Tong Duo'er patted her on the head and said: "What are you talking about? It's too early to get married? After you get married, you can change your words..."

"Yes, Eldest Sister, I remember. Eldest Sister, I was so hurt when you took the picture just now..." Tong Zhu'er held her head and looked at Tong Duo'er pretending to be wronged.

Tong Zhixin and Fang Cuiwei were also very happy, and Dong Ping's parents did not object, which is really a happy thing.

"Father, I've asked someone a long time ago. Three months later, the fifth day of the eighth lunar month will be the best day. Let's make an appointment for Duo'er and Dong Ping's marriage on that day, and we will tell them when the time comes. Well, I'll keep Duo'er by my side for two years, and then let the two get married when Duo'er is sixteen."

Tong Zhixin pondered for a while, and said: "We should tell Dong Ping first about the matter of keeping Duo'er until sixteen before we get married, and let him make up his own mind."

Fang Cuiwei made sense after thinking about it, discussed it with Tong Zhixin, and explained it to Dong Ping in a few days.

Who would have thought that when the door was opened early on the third day, Fang Cuiwei saw Dong Ping standing outside the door with his things, followed by his parents.

"Elder Sister, we've got someone to figure it out. Three months later, the fifth day of the eighth month is a good day. Let's set the day for the two children. What should we do? Take advantage of these three months to take care of it." It's gone." Entering the main room and putting down the things, Dong Pingniang said with a smile.

Fang Cuiwei's heart skipped a beat, hearing what Dong Pingniang meant, she seemed to be in a hurry to marry Dong Ping.

"Sister, I don't want to hide it from you. Duo'er has suffered a lot in the past, and now our family's life has improved a bit. I also want Duo'er to get married in a good manner and keep her at home for two years. Sixteen, get married again."

Dong Pingniang frowned, "Sister, what do you mean?"

"What I mean is that the two children will decide on the marriage first, and then they will get married when Duo'er turns sixteen."

Hearing Fang Cuiwei's words, Dong Ping's parents became unhappy.

Originally, because of Tong Duo'er's character and appearance, they didn't have any difference in family background, but the Tong family put their noses up, and didn't want their daughter to marry early, but they wanted to tie up their son for two years.

"Sister, if you want to keep your daughter at home, you can keep it. It's just my son who wants to marry a wife."

"Mother!" Dong Ping looked anxiously at the expressionless Mrs. Dong.

Fang Cui fell silent.

Dong Pingniang said that everything she said would be wrong, it would be better to shut up and say less and make less mistakes.

"Auntie, I will wait for Zhi'er." Dong Ping turned to look at Fang Cuiwei, and said solemnly.

"Son, you—"

Dong Pingniang was really annoyed that her son was so worthless, but she couldn't bear to scold her son in front of outsiders.

Immediately, Dong Pingniang shook her sleeves, turned around angrily and left.

"Farewell." Father Dong Ping said, turned around and left in a hurry.

Dong Ping said to Fang Cuiwei: "Auntie, Duo'er and I are engaged on the fifth day of August, and I will marry Duo'er in two years. Now, I'll go back first."

Fang Cui nodded slightly, and watched Dong Ping run out of Tong's house quickly, chasing after his parents.

"Mother...I'm embarrassing you." Tong Duo'er came out of the room, looking at Fang Cuiwei with hazy eyes.

Fang Cuiwei walked over, stroked her long hair that hung down her cheeks and behind her ears, looked at her delicate face and shook her head, "It's your mother who made things difficult for you. Now, your future father-in-law and mother-in-law should be I have a problem with you. Duo'er, mother really hates you marrying so early..."

"Mother, you feel sorry for me, and Duo'er understands. Mother, didn't my uncle and aunt agree to my marriage with Dong Ping? They are not unreasonable people. This incident probably came too suddenly to them. I believe , Dong Ping explained clearly to them, and they will understand."

"What if they don't understand?"

"What does it matter..." Tong Duo'er smiled, "Dong Ping's heart is toward me, and I am happy." Even if Dong Ping's parents really hate it because of this incident, she is ready Prepare for the future.

"Mother, has anyone been here?" Tong Zhi'er, who had seen the wild soybeans in the forest and returned home, saw the things in the main room and asked.

"No one, Zhi'er, you go to the wild fruit forest and call your father back."

"Oh." Tong Zhi'er nodded, took a sip of water, turned around and walked out.When they met Tong Zhu'er who came back from driving ducks down the river, they went to the wild fruit forest together.

Tong Zhixin often loosened the soil, pulled weeds and fertilized the wild fruit forest, and the wild fruit trees grew stronger.The branches and leaves are luxuriant, and there are many branches. Next year, there will be many more fruits.

Tong Zhixin took a hoe and dug the soil, Tong Zhi'er walked over and said, "Father, mother told you to go back."

"What did your mother say?"

"Mother didn't say anything."

Tong Zhixin thought for a while, put the hoe on his shoulder, and walked towards home.

"Zhu'er, this is the first time, Mother will call Dad back when he is working." Tong Zhi'er, who was following behind, asked in a low voice.

Tong Zhuer nodded.

"There must be something going on in here..."

"Why didn't that mother tell us?" Tong Zhu'er frowned.

Tong Zhu'er looked at her, patted her head, and comforted her: "Maybe we can't help much...Zhu'er, when mother and father talk, let's find a place to listen quietly."

"Ah."

The two sisters made up their minds that when they returned home, Fang Cuiwei sent them away, and then they quietly walked around to the window outside the house, listening to the voices inside.

"...The child's father, seeing the attitude of Dong Ping's parents, he hates us. I don't know how Duo'er will marry in the future? But now let me marry Duo'er, I don't want to..." Fang Cui said with a choked voice.

Tong Zhixin patted her on the back and comforted her: "Don't think about it, wait for Dong Ping to persuade his parents, if he persuades his parents, nothing will happen."
