Chapter 2100

Two sisters are talking, Iron Tiger came back from the ground. Although Iron Tiger's legs have no problem now, they still dare not do heavy work, but digging soil and weeding can still be done. Therefore, no one is invited to do the work in the field, just father and daughter. Tiekui would help occasionally.

When I came in, I heard that most of the foreign debts had been paid back. Tiehu asked, "don't you mean that mechanics owes others six liang of silver, and you will help to pay it off after you pass through the door?"

When Chunxiang passed by, Shao's father gave him a red envelope, which contained two liang of silver. Then Chunxiang takes out the four Liang silver at the bottom of the box and helps Shao mechanics pay off the debt.

Knowing that it was his mistake, Tiehu asked, "how many brothers are there in this family? What's his ranking?"

Chunxiang asks Shao Li to help him find out the details of the other party. Then she goes home and says, "he has four brothers in his family, and he ranks third. Because he was born in winter, he is named Dongzi. Because his father didn't work outside as a housekeeper, the family couldn't support so many children. He gave him to his aunt as a son. When he was eight years old, his aunt was pregnant. When she gave birth to a son, she sent him back to Duan's family. "

Chunni said: "four brothers didn't marry?"

Chunxiang shook his head and said, "because his brother is good-looking, he was sold by his father to a wealthy family as a boy. I don't know why. It's gone in the third year. His eldest brother married a widow with two children last year and occupied all three of the houses. The brothers couldn't help but put up a straw shed at the entrance of the village. " In this case, it's strange to get a daughter-in-law.

"What about people?"

Chunxiang said: "after inquiring about it, I said that people are down-to-earth and diligent. However, there is no skill, the two brothers work in the county. The money you earn, except for food, is used to pay off debts. "

It's a good character to pay off foreign debts by taking part-time jobs. Iron Tiger point under said: "I let your brother in to inquire, if all is true, then please bring to let us see."

Tie Kui also hopes that Chunni's marriage will be settled earlier, so that he can go safely next year. After knowing this, tie Kui said, "I'll go to the county tomorrow." It's no good to run to other people's village rashly to inquire. It's better to find someone familiar with you.

When going out, tie Kui said, "it may take several days to come back."

Six days later, tie Kui came home.

Tiehu asked: "how about it?"

"As the elder sister said, he is a down-to-earth man. The three brothers are very diligent and willing to do any work. However, after his eldest brother married a widow, he occupied three roughcast houses in his family, and then he and his second son were responsible for all the foreign debts. The two brothers are honest, but they can't fight with each other, so they all bear the foreign debt. " Tie Kui drank a mouthful of water and said, "they paid off more than half of their foreign debts by doing short-term work. There are still three or four taels of silver left."

Chunni asked, "brother, have you seen anyone?"

Tie Kui nodded his head and said: "see, he's shorter than his father. He's very big and dark. Second sister, the only drawback of this man is that he has a dull temperament and few words, but if he is a good talker, I'm not at ease. " Those who are good at speaking are more active. Such a person, how can he be a door-to-door son-in-law.

Tiehu looked at Chunni and said, "Nizi, let Zhongren lead him to his home. If you like it, make up your mind! "

Chunni trusted tie Kui. He said that Dongzi was not bad in character and diligent. She should not have made a mistake: "let's see first."

Two days later, sister Liu brought Duan Xiaodong over. As tie Kui said, the man was tall and burly with dark skin.

Chunni hid in the dark and looked at it. Then she took tiekui and asked, "brother, it's not good to look at the color of people. What's wrong with your body?"

Tie Kui said, "I've asked the doctor to show him. He's all right. It's just that I'm tired every day and I don't eat well. I'm a little sick. The doctor is still young. As long as I eat well in the future, I'll be fine. " He is also afraid that the other party has any hidden disease, if so, it will harm Chunni all her life.

"Nothing wrong."

Tie Kui said with a smile, "second sister, if you are also in love, go out and say hello to someone." I also like it. Of course, I want to meet you.

Chunni pinched and said, "you go out first, I'll change my clothes." You have to dress up to make a good impression.

Duan Xiaodong doesn't know where to put his hands when he sees Chunni.

It was sister-in-law Liu who gave him a push that brought him back to his senses: "you, you sit..."

This silly look made Chunni smile: "you sit down! I have to cook. At noon, you'll stay at home and eat! "

Mrs. Liu was so happy that she said she was in love with her silly cousin.

There are three meat and three vegetables for lunch, and it's very delicious. However, Duan Xiaodong did not eat a bowl and a half of rice.

After lunch, sister Liu left with Duan Xiaodong.

Chunni said with a bitter face: "brother, he always has a bitter face when eating. Is he not satisfied with me?" It's rare to meet such a pleasant person. Chunni doesn't want to miss it.

Tie Kui shook his head and said, "second sister, he is not suffering, but has something on his mind."

"What's on your mind?"

Tie Kui said jokingly, "I'm not the Ascaris in his stomach. How can I know? But the second elder sister was relieved that he was very satisfied with your appearance just now. As for what it is, we'll wait for the person in the middle to reply

Out of Tiejia village, sister-in-law Liu also asked, "Dongzi, don't you like this girl? If you don't like it, I'll help you refuse, "when I was a child, sister Liu's mother often gave Duan Xiaodong three brothers food. Duan Xiaodong and his second brother are grateful for her kindness and have been helping her family for several years. Sister Liu is also concerned about the two brothers, so she wants to help him.

"No

Sister Liu actually knows that Duan Xiaodong likes Chunni. She said that on purpose just now: "since she likes that girl, why did she just frown?"

Duan Xiaodong said: "elder sister, if you ask them for ten Liang silver, do you think the marriage will be yellow?" No man is willing to be his son-in-law. But the two brothers have no house, no field and no land. It's hard to marry a daughter-in-law. It's still said that the wife's family is well-off. Duan Xiaodong wants to come to the door, but she has to give ten Liang silver.

Sister Liu knew his temperament and would not ask for money for no reason. She asked, "what do you want ten taels of silver for?"

Duan Xiaodong said: "my family still owes four liang of foreign debt. I want to pay it back. Then the rest of the money, and build two or three earth embryo house. With a house, the second brother is not sure that he can marry a daughter-in-law. "

Sister Liu said with a smile, "I'll tell them about it. I'm sure they'll agree."

Duan Xiaodong hesitated and said, "if they don't want to give money, I and I will." Tiejia girl is beautiful and capable. She has a good temperament. She will never marry such a good girl in her life.

Sister Liu chuckled and said, "good."

Chunxiang made a special trip for this matter: "Sister Liu said that when Dongzi went back to Duan's home, it was all taken care of by his second brother Ershun. Once he had a high fever. His second elder brother went to town to see a doctor barefoot in winter. The doctor saw that they were pitiful and gave them medicine for free. Otherwise, he might not be able to get it. Over the years, the two brothers have depended on each other. Now that he wants to come to my house, he can't rest assured that Duan Ershun will come, so he puts forward this condition. "

Chunni turned her head and looked at Tiehu and asked, "Daddy, do we still have ten taels of silver?" As long as she has the money at home, she is willing to give it.

Tiehu said with a smile: "yes. I'll save all the money for your wedding party. "

When Chunxiang heard this, she said, "Sister Liu's meaning is that there will be no wine in Duan's family. At that time, she will pay homage here and ask Dongzi to take Chunni back to recognize her parents."

"That's fine."

At the time of engagement, the four members of Duan Dashun's family and Duan Ershun all came. Looking at the bright blue brick house and Chunni's clothes, Duan Dashun's daughter-in-law is not so enthusiastic. Unfortunately, Chunni knew her nature and was indifferent to her.

Before the meal was finished, sister Duan looked at the meat dishes on the table and said, "you can't finish all these dishes. I'll take some back to eat."

With that, she took out the big wooden bowl and poured all the meat and vegetables on the table into the big wooden bowl.

Brother Duan said nothing when he saw him.

Duan Ershun and Duan Xiaodong's faces are blue and purple, but it's hard to say in front of outsiders. This little brother-in-law said that sister-in-law is not a good thing.

Seeing Chunni's black face, tie Kui said with a smile, "second sister, didn't you make a suit for brother Duan? Don't hurry to get it. " Today is a good day for engagement. I don't have to worry about a few bowls of meat dishes.

Chunni, holding back her anger, comes into the house and takes the cotton padded clothes and trousers. She puts them in Duan Xiaodong's hands and turns her head to enter the house again. It's better to be out of sight, so that she can't help but blow out sister-in-law Duan.

After the person leaves, Chunni angrily scolds a way: "have never seen so have no face have no skin." It's not uncommon for relatives to come back for wine and meat. But before the master could, he poured the meat into his bowl for the first time.

Tie Kui knew that sister Duan was very good, otherwise she would not marry the old Duan who had nothing: "I don't like it, I just don't want to walk around." In any case, Duan Xiaodong is the door-to-door, and the two families are far apart. If you have a good relationship, you can walk around during the Spring Festival. If you don't have a good relationship, you can walk around.

"Tell sister-in-law Liu that you don't want her to come back when you get married, so you don't have to make a joke." Even if the betrothal, if such a marriage, not to be a village joke. Getting married is a life-long event. She doesn't want to regret it.

Tie Kui said with a smile, "good."

On the way back, sister Duan said directly that it was not easy for brother Duan to pull the two brothers together. The two brothers should remember the kindness. Inside and outside, I want Duan Xiaodong to wear his cotton padded clothes and trousers. Unfortunately, Duan Xiaodong didn't pay any attention to her.

When he got ten Liang silver from the iron family, he quickly paid off the debt. Sister Duan and his wife got the news and came to share the money. Unfortunately, I didn't get a point.

Knowing that Duan Xiaodong still had money and was going to build some earth embryo houses, Duan Ershun said shamefully, "third brother, second brother, I'm sorry for you."

"Second brother, I'm willing. Moreover, the iron family is a kind family, and my brother-in-law is also a capable man. I'm sure I'll have a good time. "

It's also sister-in-law Liu who said that the iron family are all kind. When they were engaged, they felt that they were sincere to his younger brother. Otherwise, he would not agree to let his younger brother become a burden.

There are three main materials for building earth embryo house, one is earth brick, the other is wood, and the third is straw and Platycodon grandiflorum. The bricks are made by oneself, the wood is cut in the mountains, and the straw and Platycodon grandiflorum are very cheap. It costs a little money. The main expense is the craftsman's wages.

In winter, the ground was frozen and they couldn't make bricks, so they braved the wind and snow to go up the mountain to cut wood.

As soon as the weather got warmer and the land thawed, the brothers began to make bricks. Two people do very fast, three days before marriage will be required to do three bricks.

When it comes to the wedding day, sister Duan wants to take her child and brother Duan to the iron family for a wedding banquet. You know, because she is poor, she seldom eats meat all the year round. If you want to go to Tiejia, you can not only have a good meal, but also bring back a lot of meat and vegetables.

When she arrived at the entrance of the village, Mrs. Liu, who also went to the wedding, saw that they didn't bring any gifts, and directly scolded the couple bloody.

It's a pity that even if she is scolded as a dog, sister Duan will go to the wedding party with her. For sister-in-law Duan, it's OK to have enough to eat, but it's nothing to be cheeky.

Mrs. Liu couldn't stop her, so she had to go.

Tie Kui is greeting the guests at the door. He sees that sister Duan's face is not good-looking. However, it's not good to make a scene on the wedding day. He said to elder brother Duan, "we welcome the wedding wine. But if you dare to make trouble, I'll throw the three members of your family into the ditch at the entrance of the village. "

The couple heard that tie Kui had killed tigers and leopards, which would be threatened by tie Kui. How dare they make trouble. During the wedding, sister Duan was as honest as a quail.

During the worship, Duan Ershun's younger brother, who was wearing a big red wedding dress, had wet eyes.

After the wedding reception, all the members of the Duan family went back. The five sea bowls brought by sister Duan are all full. When she went back, sister Duan regretted the lack of bowls.

Walking on the road, sister Duan said: "if you come to such a good family, you will be blessed in the future. I just hope that he can remember Dashun's kindness. "

Duan Ershun took a cold look at elder brother Duan and said, "do you think Dongzi has light on his face?" No matter how good the iron family's conditions are, it's disgraceful for his brother to be his son-in-law.

Duan Dashun didn't say a word.

After dinner, the guests all went home, and the iron house was suddenly deserted. But this time, Tiehu didn't lose anything. Instead, he happily cleaned up.

Seeing Chunni come out to help, Tiehu said: "today is your happy day. Have a good rest. These things, have me and your brother

However, Chunni had to go back to her house.

In the evening, Tiehu invited dashuan and Zhao's family to have dinner. Because they were in a good mood, Tiehu and dashuan had two drinks.

Help iron tiger into the house to wash his face and feet, and then turn back to clean up the dishes, tidy up the iron Kui back to the house to rest.

In the new house, Chunni and Duan Xiaodong sit side by side. Half ring, also did not see Duan Xiaodong say a word.

Thinking of tie Kui's saying that Duan Xiaodong is dull and not good at words, Chunni can only speak by herself: "Dongzi, my brother says that it's not only bad for women to have children too early, but also easy to cause dystocia. So, I hope that in five months' time, when I'm 16 years old, I'll make it

Seeing Duan Xiaodong turning his head and looking at him, Chunni said busily, "since I married you, I'm your man. It's just for the sake of my body that I've put off for five months."

Duan Xiaodong nodded and said, "good."

Chunni showed a real smile: "before the doctor said that you are overworked, some empty body, I want to take advantage of this time to give you a good tonic. When you are well, our children will be strong. " When he said this, he blushed like a red egg dyed with rouge.

After hearing this, Duan Xiaodong felt warm: "OK, I'll listen to you."

Although it was said that they would have to wait five months to complete their apartment, they didn't sleep in separate beds. Instead, they had a quilt for each.
