peasant girl wedding

Chapter 89
The room fell silent.

Fang Cui sighed slightly, with guilt and sadness in her voice, "If it's because of me, Duo'er will..."

"You also love your daughter, Duo'er will understand, and you don't have to worry too much about the future. With Dong Ping here, he won't make Duo'er feel wronged."

After being comforted by Tong Zhixin, Fang Cuiwei finally felt better.

……

"Second Sister, don't we need to do anything?" On the small low slope, Tong Zhu'er looked sideways at Tong Zhi'er and asked.

Tong Zhi'er took off his shoes, stepped on the grass, and smiled, "One word, wait."

Wait?
Tong Zhu'er was confused.

On the other side, Dong Ping's parents returned to Dong Ping's house, and when they saw Dong Ping coming in, they immediately became angry.

"What kind of family are you looking for? Look, I just said to set the date in three months, and they said in a blink of an eye that it will be two years later, and they are talking about keeping their daughter at home for two years? If you don't want your daughter, Then don’t beat the gongs and drums and tell others that their family has a daughter! There are many girls’ families in the world, and they are not the only ones!”

Dong Ping's father's complexion was also very ugly, and it would be embarrassing for him to be humiliated in public.

"Father, mother, calm down first. Auntie and Uncle Tong have no other intentions, just because before..." Dong Ping picked up important things and told the two of them. Speaking of the hardships that have been suffered, Tong Zhixin's family has improved a little bit now.

"... Duo'er grew up with a few younger siblings, and helped her aunt with work. Their family's life is better now, and my aunt wants her to stay at home longer to compensate her..."

"Ping'er, you don't need to talk about it, mother understands," Dong Pingniang sighed, "Duo'er is a good boy, and I can understand and experience Duo'er's mother's thoughts. gone."

Dong Ping's father patted Dong Ping on the shoulder, with a smile on his face, "Son, you have a good vision. The Tong family is a good family."

Both parents accepted Tong Duo'er and Tong Duo'er's family, and Dong Ping was very happy.

"Ping'er, mother was so angry just now..." Dong Pingniang said worriedly.

Dong Ping comforted her with a smile, "Mother, Auntie and Uncle Tong don't bother."

"That's good, hey, Ping'er, let's go to Tong's house tomorrow and settle the matter between you and Duo'er, such a good girl, and such a good family, we have to hurry up."

"Ah."

This night, it was inevitable for the Tong family, especially Fang Cuiwei and Tong Zhixin.

Another morning came, Fang Cuiwei was absent-mindedly tidying up the courtyard when he heard a familiar voice.

"Elder sister——"

Turning around, Dong Pingniang was looking at her with a smile not far ahead.

Fang Cuiwei was overwhelmed by the flattery, and rushed forward anxiously, "Quick, sit in the room."

"Sister, I got mad at you yesterday, I'm really sorry..." Dong Pingniang took Fang Cuiwei's hand and said apologetically.

Fang Cui shook her head slightly, "My decision was too hasty. I didn't consider your feelings. I didn't think carefully. Please forgive me, girl."

"Every time I went back yesterday, Ping'er explained to me that it's not easy for you, and it's not easy for Duo'er. I'm also a mother, I understand, I understand, eldest sister, let's go into the room and talk about Ping'er and Duo'er's engagement matter……"

Dong Pingniang took Fang Cuiwei's hand and walked into the house. She looked like the owner of the house.

Without Fang Cuiwei's instructions, Tong Zhi'er quickly ran into the woods and called Tong Zhixin back home who was working.

When Tong Zhixin arrived at home, several adults discussed the details of Dong Ping and Tong Duo'er's engagement.

"Although it's just an engagement, it can't be sloppy. When the time comes, our two families will go to the county to set up a few banquets, and invite relatives and friends to have fun." Dong Pingniang said with a smile.

Fang Cui nodded slightly, with a smile on her face, "Sister, you two have to be busy, and we will leave the engagement to us to prepare, and we are also closer to the county, so it is more convenient for you to go back and forth."

"Well, what's the point of this? We should be in charge of the engagement." Father Dong Ping said.

Dong Ping pondered for a while and said, "Father and mother, leave the engagement to me. The two of you live in Dong's old house, thousands of miles away from here. The family is so busy, so let me and uncle and aunt We worked it out together."

"Go, go, your father and I are here, there is no such thing as an engagement that you arrange yourself!" Dong Pingniang glanced at Dong Ping, looked at Fang Cuiwei and Tong Zhixin, and said: "The etiquette of engagement is much less than that of marriage. I don't have many things to do, and I don't need much time, so I'll take care of them, you two just prepare for Duo'er's affairs, and leave the rest to me."

Fang Cuiwei and Tong Zhixin glanced at each other and nodded at the same time.

The matter was settled amidst the chatter and laughter of several people.

Three months later, on the fifth day of August, Dong Ping and Tong Duo'er held a banquet in the county and made a marriage contract. The wedding ceremony would take place two years later.

After Dong Ping's matter is settled, Dong Ping's parents will leave the village and go back to Dong's old house.

Fang Cuiwei and Tong Zhixin prepared a table of sumptuous meals for them to see them off, then sent them to the carriage at the entrance of the village, and let them take the wrapped dried mushrooms away.

Watching the carriage drift away, Fang Cuiwei and Tong Zhi's confidence fell to the ground.

At this point, Tong Duo'er and Dong Ping's marriage is finally settled.

The stone in his heart fell to the ground, and Tong Zhixin was finally able to discuss the matter of building a new house.

The foundation of the new house is still chosen on the side of the forest, next to the thatched house.The trees in the forest were too tall and too big. In order to allow more sunlight to shine in, Tong Zhixin hired someone who was good at carpentry in the village to cut down all the trees.Firstly, the wood for building the house is available, and secondly, the view of the new house has been expanded a lot. The sun shines in, and the site looks extraordinarily bright and spacious.

Hearing the news, Tong Zhaoyin was moved. Now is not the busy season for farming. Except for his parents, no one else paid much attention to him in Tong's house.To be on the safe side, Tong Zhaoyin came out of Tong's old house quietly and quietly, and walked towards Tong Zhixin's house.

"Fourth Uncle—"

Tong Zhixin, who was watching Tong Zhier draw the layout of the new house in the main room, raised his head when he heard the voice, and came out in surprise when he saw Tong Zhaoyin outside the door.

"Zhaoyin, hurry up and sit inside. Daughter-in-law, come out and see who is here?"

Tong Zhi'er raised his head and called out sweetly, "Brother Zhaoyin."

Tong Zhaoyin smiled shyly.

While cooking in the kitchen, Fang Cuiwei, who was wearing an apron, came out from behind. Seeing that the person standing in the main room was Tong Zhaoyin, she was very pleasantly surprised.

"Aunt Four."

"Hey, Zhaoyin, I haven't seen you for a long time, let my fourth aunt take a look at you," Fang Cuiwei walked up to Tong Zhaoyin, looked left and right, nodded and said, "Zhaoyin, you've grown taller again."

Tong Zhaoyin touched his head.

"Why are you still standing, sit down quickly." Tong Zhixin said.

Tong Zhaoyin hummed, and waited for Tong Zhixin and Fang Cuiwei to sit down before taking their seats.

Tong Zhi'er stood up, poured him a glass of water, and poured a glass for Tong Zhixin and Fang Cuiwei at the same time.Then she sat back in her original position.

Tong Zhaoyin was very curious about what she was doing, and asked, "Zhier, what are you doing?"

Tong Zhi'er grinned, "My family is going to build a new house, and I'm drawing the layout of the new house now. When the time comes, the building of the house will follow this rough drawing."

"Zhi'er is really smart."

Tong Zhi'er stuck out her tongue, and continued to draw a sketch of the new house.

"Fourth uncle, fourth aunt, I, I also want to help cut down trees." After sitting for a while, Tong Zhaoyin expressed his thoughts.

"Zhaoyin, you are almost at the age of marrying a wife. You come to my fourth uncle to cut trees and help out. My fourth uncle will give you forty cash a day, and I will eat at my fourth uncle's place."

"Hey, thank you fourth uncle. Then fourth uncle, I'll go back and tell my parents." Tong Zhaoyin stood up from the chair.

Tong Zhixin and Fang Cuiwei also stood up, "Zhaoyin, let's go after dinner."

Tong Zhaoyin waved his hand and walked out the door at the same time, "No, I'd better go back first, Fourth Uncle, Fourth Aunt, I'll come over early tomorrow morning."

"Well, you can go directly to have breakfast here tomorrow."

"I see."

Tong Zhaoyin walked swiftly back to the old house of the Tong family, and entered his yard, where Tong Zhide and Luo Shi were both sitting.Since Mrs. Lin came back home, all the heavy work at home has fallen on Mrs. Lin.Luo Shi's life was much better than before, sitting in the yard like this for about ten days.

"Father, mother——" Tong Zhaoyin walked to the big rock in the middle of the yard and sat down, scooped a ladle of water for himself to quench his thirst, and said, "I found a job as a tree feller with my fourth uncle. Fourth uncle Forty Wen a day, and all the food is at my uncle's."

Tong Zhide frowned, "How can you ask for your fourth uncle's money?"

Tong Zhaoyin was silent and did not speak.

Luo Shi looked at Tong Zhide and said, "It's not that you don't know the fourth brother. If you don't need money to recruit money, can the fourth brother agree to let him help?"

Tong Zhide sighed, and then asked the doubts in his heart, "What kind of work does your fourth uncle do there?"

"Fourth Uncle is going to build a new house."

Build a new house?That was a big project indeed.

It's a pity that since he helped his fourth brother build a thatched cottage last time, the old man and the old lady have been watching him very closely.And not long ago, the fourth child made the old man and the old lady hate him once again. This time, the fourth child built a new house. In order not to cause trouble, he still didn't show up.The fourth child is able to build a new house now, it should be planned, and now he has Zhaoyin to help, so he doesn't have to worry about it.

"Zhaoyin, you must be careful when you go to work with your fourth uncle. I will go to the old man and the old lady later and tell you that you go to other places to chop firewood during the day, so that it's okay if they don't see you Talk."

"Ah."
