Reborn under the White Mountain

Chapter 24
The Tong family has been busy helping Tong Yunlian with quilts for the past few days. After dinner in the morning, several daughter-in-laws went to Mrs. Tong's room to sew the quilts. "Mother, eldest sister is really willing to give up on Xiaojuan. Look at this quilt, but it is from the south, the best hang silk. I don't know if the embroidery on it is embroidered by Xiaojuan. The pattern is really fresh. " Mrs. Zhou said while sewing the quilt.

"This should be a finished quilt cover bought from outside, with Suzhou embroidery patterns on it. Xiaojuan's child is not so good at craftsmanship." Qin looked at the quilt and said.

"Yo, isn't it true that these quilts are worth some money? The eldest sister has lived a good life in the past few years." Upon hearing this, Mrs. Liu said sarcastically, Mrs. Qin always takes things and money from her daughter-in-law To subsidize the daughter, the family knows.

"The Sun family that Xiaojuan is going to marry is a wealthy family. Xiaojuan's dowry is of course better. If she doesn't marry, she will be angry?" Qin's tone was somewhat proud.

"Yeah, it's good luck for the eldest sister to find such a good son-in-law. By the way, isn't Yueyao from the second sister's family also engaged? I remember the last time the second sister said that they got married after autumn, but I didn't know about the second sister's family. What about the son-in-law? These cousins ​​are the same age, let's see if they have the same fate?" Zhou said with a smile while working.

"When you get married and live a life, you really can't just look at the family. You have to look at whether the person you marry is willing to do it. If the person is idle all day long, drinking and playing cards, even a golden mountain is not enough for him to cause harm." Mrs. Liu sighed on the side, although the second son of Tong's family is good for drinking a little wine and playing a small card, but when it's time to work seriously, he is unambiguous.So these years of being married, Mrs. Liu has lived comfortably. Her only wish is to separate her family after her brother-in-law gets married. She doesn't want her mother-in-law to stare at her all day long, and she doesn't even want to save a private house.

"Second sister-in-law is saying that fortunately, the brothers of our Tong family are willing to work hard. This is what our mother taught us. Don't you think so, sister-in-law?" Zhou asked Fang.

"That's right, my mother taught her well." Fang didn't look up, she only cared about the work in her hands, and hurriedly agreed with Zhou's question.The mothers talked and worked, and the work in hand was not delayed at all.

Of course, Yuxian went up the mountain with her brothers. Tong Yunlian's attitude made it clear that day that she was asking for Fang's help. Besides, Xiaojuan's marriage was still waiting for her parents to support her.So Yuxian came out with peace of mind, leaving Fang to help make the quilt at home.The shopkeeper said that to test the properties of the medicine, more medicinal materials should be sent over, so Da Lang led his younger brothers and sisters to go into the mountain.It was very strange today, it was Junjie's turn to herd the cattle, but they saw Junjie leading the cattle and leading his younger brother behind Dalang and the others.

"Junjie, why don't you herd cattle and follow us?" Da Lang asked.

"The road doesn't belong to your house, so I'll go this way as well, can't I?" Junjie was found, and he said to Dalang with a thick rope around his neck.

"But there is no large grassland in front of this road. It is only in the north of the village. There are mostly forests here, and the cows can't get enough to eat here." Da Lang said patiently.

"I'm going to go this way. What's the matter? Can you control it?" Junjie was a fool no matter what Dalang said.

Yuxian rolled her eyes, "Since you are going to leave, then go first and feed the cow quickly, otherwise grandma will scold you carefully when you go back."

Now Junjie won't leave, standing there is neither advancing nor retreating, Juntao asked Junjie: "Brother, what if they don't leave? Mother let us follow them and see how they dig up the medicinal materials , They won’t leave, what shall we do?” Junjie gave Juntao a fierce look, “Can you tell me about this kind of thing? You idiot.” Turning back to Dalang, he said with a smile: “Brother, you also brought Let's go, I also want to earn some money to buy food, I saw it last night, you are eating big meat buns, it's really delicious."

After Dalang heard this, he didn't know what to do, so he looked back at Yuxian, who shook her head and said, "Brother Junjie, we all rely on our own ability to earn money, and we only work from dawn to dusk to fill our pockets." Stomach. Grandma has never been hungry for you, so why bother to go into the mountains with us and suffer the punishment. Besides, even if you dig, you will not know how to process medicinal materials. The medicinal materials are useless in your hands, so you should go back Go ahead, tell Second Aunt and Grandma that you don’t have to think about it. I won’t lead you into the mountains to dig medicine, let alone teach you how to process medicinal materials. If you have the ability to earn money elsewhere, don’t just look at home. As long as you work hard, are you afraid that you won't be able to earn money?" Yu Xian's words made Da Lang and the others understand that it was Qin and Liu who were planning their plans.No wonder, Junjie and the others only know how to play like crazy, how can they have any intention of making money?
"Junjie, hurry up and herd the cows. If you don't leave, don't say that I will let Xiaosan beat you to leave." Da Lang threatened.

Junjie saw that Yuxian had told the whole story, and it was impossible to continue, so he gave Yuxian a vicious look and said: "You wait, I will tell grandma when I go back, and see if grandma doesn't deal with you. After finishing speaking, he led his younger brothers and led the cattle back and left.

"Brother, look, my grandma still doesn't give up. Once this Junjie goes back and sues, our mother will be angry again." Yuxian was a little worried about her mother.

"It's okay, even if grandma wants to be embarrassing for her mother, she won't be in these days. Sister Xiaojuan will get married in a few days. If she dares to be embarrassing for her mother, let's let father and mother pick her up and see who is ashamed." Lang comforts his sister.Yuxian thought so, so she went to the mountains to collect herbs with her brothers at ease.

Around noon, a few people came out of the forest. Today they were collecting herbs on the mountain south of the village. When walking down the mountain, Yuxian saw a large house near the river, all of which were made of bricks and tiles. I haven't lived there for a long time, and the grass grows tall in the yard. "Brother, do you think whose house is next to the river? Why is no one cleaning it?" Yu Xian pointed to Da Lang.

When Dalang saw the house that Yuxian was pointing at, his face immediately changed color, "Sister, don't point it out, it's a haunted house. I heard that the house has been there for many years, and people lived in it before, but the whole family disappeared after a short stay. All of them died for no reason. They gradually called it a haunted house." Da Lang said with some fear. "Let's go home quickly." The brothers and sisters hurried down the mountain and walked home.

"Hey, these are the children of Mrs. Tong, right? Yuxian, do you still recognize me?" An old lady in front was walking towards them with an old man on her back.

"It's Grandma Zhao. Of course Yuxian recognizes it. What's wrong with grandpa?" Yuxian recognized the woman who delivered the baby.

"Don't mention it, I have a fistula on my leg, no matter how I treat it, it won't heal. I just came back from the hospital and took a lot of medicine, but I don't know if it will work or not." Mrs. Zhao said to Yuxian: "Yuxian, go Let's go to grandma's house, grandma will cook something delicious for you."

"Grandma, I won't go today. My mother is cooking at home. We have to go back and help. The cousin of the eldest aunt is getting married in a few days, and the mother and aunts are helping to make the dowry. When the cousin is married , I must go to grandma’s house to play when I’m free.” Yuxian was anxious to go home to see how her mother was doing, I wonder if Junjie went back to complain?

On the [-]th day of May, Tong Yunsong drove the car back to Tong Yunlian's house with all the finished quilts. Tong Yunlian told Yunsong very enthusiastically that he would come earlier on the [-]th day, and Sun's family welcomed the relatives in the afternoon and held the banquet in the evening.Tong Yunsong agreed.

The Qin family has been relatively quiet these days, maybe they want to wait until after Xiaojuan's marriage to talk about it, anyway, Yuxian was worried that Junjie's complaint did not happen.

On the fifteenth day, the whole family of the Tong family was going to Daying Village, and the family was entrusted to the neighbors to take care of them. There were nearly 20 people in the family, and a bullock cart was not enough.Fortunately, both Tong Shiwang and Tong Shiming's family also have bullock carts. Only the eldest of the two families is still in Yanjiang Village, and the rest have gone outside.So Yun Song's family sat in the car of Tong Shiwang's family, the lobby uncle, Tong Shiwang's family, Yun Bai's family sat in the car of Tong Shiming's second uncle, and the rest were Mr. Tong, Mrs. Tong, Yun Feng's family and Tong Yunhua in their own car.A large group of people and three cars set off for Tong Yunlian's house.To get to Daying Village, you have to cross the bridge and walk west for a while, which is on the way to Fucheng.

In the morning, Yinshizhong set off from home, and it was early morning when we arrived at Daying Village. Yuxian saw that this village was much bigger than Yanjiang Village, with about [-] or [-] households.Most of the houses are made of adobe, and there are also many bricks and tiles, but that kind of wood is not common.The distance between each household is closer, and the village is very orderly. The Luo family is at the east end of the village, which is similar to the courtyard of the Tong family, except that the upper house has three main rooms and two side rooms. Between.

When they arrived at Luo's house, Tong Yunlian was already waiting in the yard. Seeing that her family members were all here, Tong Yunlian had a smile on her face: "Uncle, Uncle, Uncle, Mother, Second Aunt, Mom and Dad, hurry up and go into the house." .Breakfast is ready. Brother Yunyang, Brother Yunhuai, quickly lead your sister-in-law and children into the house, Yunsong, greet me." Tong Yunlian is a well-rounded person, everyone has greeted, and then let into the house.On the dining table in the house, meals have already been set up, white flour steamed buns, millet porridge, four dishes of side dishes, two cold and two hot, breakfast is already very rich.Everyone got up early and sat in the car for such a long time, and they were all hungry. No one was polite, so they all sat down and ate quickly.While eating breakfast, Tong Yunhe and Tong Yunfang also brought their family.Tong Yunhe, Yunhe's husband Zhao Zhongwen, and Yunhe's three children, Yueyao, Yueying and Zixuan.Tong Yunfang gave birth to a son the year before last, who is now three years old, named Qi Wenjing, who is being hugged by his father Qi Zhiyuan.Quickly let them all sit down and eat again.

After everyone finished their meal, a few old ladies said they would go to see Xiaojuan, and the women all went to the Westinghouse to see Xiaojuan, while the men were outside helping to clean up the yard, borrowing tables, chairs and benches.
