The safety and comfort of traveling through farming

Chapter 78

During the Dragon Boat Festival, the wheat harvest was busy, and Grand Uncle's school also had a half-month agricultural holiday, so that the children could go home and help with work.

The younger brother Nian Zong, who was entrusted with a heavy responsibility by He Tao, was very responsible, and solemnly opened the manuscript to teach the twins how to read.

The twins can already sit up without support, and the speed of crawling is increasing day by day, and they can "swish" to the opposite corner of the room in the blink of an eye, and the two little guys are extremely energetic, and they don't stop all day long. I am free to listen to my little brother's teaching.If Nian Zong kept chasing him, the two little guys would sit up and yell at him, "Yi Yi Ya Ya Ya Ya!" The most disgusting thing was that they even drew a map with boy urine on the book that Nian Zong cherished very much.

As soon as Nianzong's mouth was flattened, he began to cry sadly.

"Nian Zong doesn't cry, my sisters are not sensible!" He Tao hugged Nian Zong's head and patted him on the back to comfort him. As expected, he was still a child, so he cried as soon as he said it.

The twins didn't know that they had done something wrong, they were just attracted by Nianzong's crying, they crawled to his side and talked to him, Nianzong was busy crying and ignored them, the two little devils grabbed Nianzong's hand Just bite, and after smearing the saliva on his hand, he showed a few small teeth and smiled at him.

In fact, this is just the children attracting attention, but Nian Zong took it as the twins knew they were wrong and apologized, wiped his eyes and stopped crying, and after putting the wet books in the yard to dry, he crawled all over the ground with the twins.

"Sister, let's make zongzi! It's almost the Dragon Boat Festival, I really want to eat zongzi!" He Lian suggested.

Nian Zong, who was happily crawling with the twins, his eyes lit up when he heard it, and nodded at He Tao: "Auntie, let's make zongzi!"

The food in the Great Wasteland has always been good, besides, He Lian is the little cook, she has the final say on what she wants to eat, and He Tao is very puzzled that the two of them are so greedy for rice dumplings.

"It's never short of your food and drink, why are you so greedy?"

"It's just that I haven't eaten zongzi for a long time!" He Lian tilted her head and asked, "Sister, I remember you used to like eating zongzi too!"

He Tao coughed lightly and replied, "Do you remember what I don't like to eat? That's because I used to be hungry! Everything is delicious!"

He Tao really doesn't have any opinion on rice dumplings, she eats them if she has them, and doesn't think about them if she doesn't, but since He Lian mentioned it, and even Nian Zong is very interested, she decided to satisfy the two little guys once, with big hands With a wave of agreement!Anyway, He Lian was in charge of doing it, and she didn't have anything to do.

After receiving the order, little He Lian took Nianzong with her and went up to the mountain to pick zong leaves, leaving He Tao alone to watch the twins. He Tao was dumbfounded—it really shouldn't have agreed.

"It's all right now, there are only three of our mothers left, you have to be obedient and don't cry!" He Tao knelt down to negotiate with the twins.

Who knew that Dongzhi suddenly called out "Liang", and Dongye also opened his mouth: "Liang".

He Tao was immediately overwhelmed by happiness, and was so cute that his nose bleeds.

When He Lian and the others came back, He Tao was still tirelessly calling "Mother" to the twins over and over again.

He Lian's face was full of black lines, and Nian Zong was at a loss.

When they learned that the twins could call people, the moment they took off their shoes, they lay on the ground trying to teach the twins to call "auntie" and "brother". He twisted his butt and crawled to the side to ignore people. If he could express it, he would probably yell, "Aren't you annoying? Do you know what it means to progress step by step!"

The three had no choice but to give up the harassing behavior.

Nianzu came back before lunch. He was very excited when he heard that he was going to make zongzi. He didn't go out to herd cattle in the afternoon and stayed at home to help make zongzi.

He Tao remembered what Grandma Rong said.She had been thinking about talking to Nianzu before, but when she remembered, Nianzu was always not at home - he was the busiest person in the Great Wasteland, going out twice a day, cutting pigweed in the morning and herding cattle in the afternoon , just took this opportunity to ask.

"Nianzu, do you know what a door-to-door son-in-law is?"

Nianzu blushed upon hearing this, and nodded.

Nianzu has been in Rongshu Village for half a year, and naturally he has made friends. Among them, Rong Shuanzi, the son of Rong Daqing's family in the village, has the best time with him. The two often herd cattle together.Rong Shuanzi's grandma——Grandma Rong Si and Grandma Rong are cousins, and they have a very good relationship. Naturally, she knew about Grandma Rong's plan and told Rong Shuanzi.

From then on, Nianzu was often made fun of by Shuanzi, and he was called cousin brother-in-law every now and then!

"I mean, do you know what it's like to be a son-in-law?" He Tao thought he didn't understand and asked again.

Even in modern times, few people are willing, let alone in ancient times when the concept of clan was overwhelming.Although He Tao herself is not too clear about the specific rules, she can imagine that they must be very strict and insulting—at least insulting to the people here.

Both Nian Zong and He Lian stared at Nian Zu, and Nian Zu replied seriously with a blushing face: "I know that the son-in-law who visits must follow his wife's surname, and the child born must also follow his wife's surname. , Parents will also be laughed at."

From this point of view, Nian Zu should not be willing to be the son-in-law!He Tao nodded and said: "Okay, I understand, I will find an opportunity to make it clear to Grandma Rong, you don't want to be a door-to-door..."

"Auntie!" Nianzu suddenly interrupted He Tao's words, blushed and said something in a low voice.

"What did you say? I didn't hear clearly." He Tao turned to look at him.

The 12-year-old Nianzu lowered his head and asked in a low voice: "If I don't become the door-to-door son-in-law, can I still marry a daughter-in-law?"

"..." How could she answer this?After being silent for a while, He Tao asked Nianzu back: "Why do you ask this? Did someone tell you something?"

Nianzu nodded: "Shuanzi told me. He said that I have no elders in my family, and I have no property. No one will marry my daughter to me. There is no other way out except to be an upside-down. Auntie, My parents used to say that I am the eldest grandson of the family, and I will carry on the family line of our Tao family in the future. If no one is willing..."

If no one is willing to marry my daughter to me, how can I carry on the family line?Nian Zu muttered and didn't say the following words, even though he was young, he knew what to say and what to say was wrong, he blushed and looked at He Tao, hoping that He Tao could give him an answer.

As soon as He Tao heard "Shuanzi told me", he decisively dropped the conspiracy theory!Grandma Rong must have started to use the embolism to crush Nianzu's self-confidence, and then successfully picked the fruit of victory!unacceptable!Don't bring such a bullying child!
He Tao smiled slightly and lied: "Nianzu, you shouldn't think so. Let me tell you, your uncle used to be the same as you. He was an orphan. He had no fertile land and no big house. Later he followed Master ( That is, Uncle Qin) practiced martial arts (hunting) hard, and later joined the army to serve the country (entered the army to eat and wait to die), made great contributions (to take care of the concubine for others and swallowed the concubine’s inheritance), and retired after being successful (helped) Others raised their sons and received generous labor fees). After returning to his hometown, he relied on his own efforts (ill-gotten gains) to buy land, build a big house, and marry a wife."

He Tao talked about Fu Shi's experience in a nonchalant manner, avoiding the most important, and successfully portrayed him as an aspiring young man who endured hardships and stood hard work, worked hard, worked tirelessly toward his goals, and finally succeeded.

"So uncle is so powerful!" Nianzu's eyes were twinkling, and his face was full of admiration for Fu Shi.

"Nianzu, if your uncle can do it, so can you! You have to believe in yourself!" He Tao concluded loudly.

Inspired by Fu Shi's deeds, Nianzu immediately straightened his back and said, "Well, I can do it too, I believe I can believe it! I will definitely learn from Uncle!"

Therefore, Fu Shi, who didn't know it, became the number one idol in Nianzu's heart from then on, the existence he looked up to all his life.

He Lian secretly gave He Tao a thumbs up from a position that Nianzu couldn't see—elder sister, you are really good at coaxing people!

Others don't know about Fu Shi, but the He family knows it all!He seems to have no house and no fertile land, but in fact he sold the house to his second uncle, and his second uncle helps to take care of the fields!In short, apart from being orphans, Fu Shi and Nianzu actually have nothing in common!

There was a crack in the smile on He Tao's face when he was surrounded by He Lian, and she bared her teeth at He Lian, telling her to bury the truth in her stomach.

Too much guilt to lie to a child or something, even for a white lie he told.

She comforted herself in her heart and said: No matter who you are and at any time, you should maintain a positive heart, so that you will not be overwhelmed by difficulties in reality, and you will be able to face difficulties despite difficulties.She tricked Nianzu because she really liked him, this hardworking and down-to-earth child.

His life in the future should not be as poor as others expected. Only when he has built up his self-confidence can he calmly face doubts from others, even doubts from his best friend at this stage!

"I won't be a door-to-door son-in-law. I can't let my parents die and be laughed at by others. I will marry a wife, have a son, and carry on the family line!" Nianzu said solemnly.

"..." He Tao gave him an appreciative look and then silently continued making zongzi——if you make a vow, you will make a vow, what about having a son!Can't we not mention this?She feels so stressed every time she hears this!

But since Nianzu has already made up his mind, it's easy for her to talk to Old Madam Cheng.I just hope that the two families won't have a rift because of this. After all, they are neighbors next door, and they can't see each other without looking up. It's really distressing to have resentment in your heart!

The four of them worked all afternoon and made twenty strings of zongzi.

He Tao asked Nianzu to send two skewers to Lizheng's family - Nianzu brothers would rely on Lizheng when they settled down in Anjia, Nianzong sent two skewers to his uncle's family as a gift for the Dragon Boat Festival, and He Lian was sent Go out and send two strings to the second room of Fu's family and Mrs. Cheng each.

After Sanxiao came back, He Tao went to Rong Laosan's house on the other side of the river with three strings of zongzi.

"Last time, Grandma gave sister Zhuxue the plum wine and ebony plums. Today we make zongzi. I'll bring some for you to try."

"Why are you being so polite? It's not a good thing. You're still returning the salute!"

"It's not a return gift or anything, it's just to let you taste the craftsmanship of the children in the family. These rice dumplings were all made by He Lian, Nianzu, and Nianzong."

"Nian Zu can make zongzi, this kid is really capable!" Sure enough, when Nian Zu Rong was mentioned, the old lady laughed from ear to ear.

He Tao also followed the old lady Cheng's words and talked about Nianzu: "The child Nianzu has endured hardships, and he is indeed capable and sensible. He still remembers his parents' will, and said that he will be a child in the future. To carry on the family line of the Tao family, when I was making zongzi just now, I asked me, 'Auntie, when can I marry a wife'..."

"Peach girl..." Granny Rong reached out to catch He Tao's hand and stopped what she was about to say: "I know that you have seen my plan clearly these days..."

"..." He Tao saw that she didn't interrupt, and waited for her to continue.

The old lady Rong sighed and said: "You really think about Nianzu, and I can see that you don't treat him as an outsider, but as your own nephew."

He Tao nodded: "My family Fu Shi and I sincerely treat the two brothers as our own nephews."

"It's their luck that they met you two," said Mrs. Rong with a smile, "Now that we've made it clear, old lady, I'll just say it directly. I really like your ancestors and want him. To be the son-in-law of the third girl. However, let's not mention this matter..."

He Tao looked at Granny Rong puzzledly, but Granny Rong just smiled and said, "The children are still young, it's still early..."

Still early?How many years have you said this?He Tao went back with a head full of doubts.

But she has already made it clear what she wants to say. This kind of thing has to be consensual. They can't force the cow to drink water, right?
He Tao decided to put this matter aside, as old lady Rong did. Anyway, as long as Nianzu is unwilling, even if he waits another 20 years, he won't be there!
