[Chapter 2097 Tie Kui Fanwai (21)]
Tie Kui put on leather boots and earmuffs, wrapped himself tightly and walked out the door.
Chun Ni said with a bitter face: “Father, can you stop letting Adi go out.” It was snowing heavily outside, and Adi was always out hunting, which made her very worried.
Tie Hu said with a smile: “Your brother has always been measured, you don’t have to worry about him.”
“Father, our family has a house and a field. Your legs are fine now, and there is no burden at home. What are you doing so hard?” Dr. Tian said that when Tiehu can walk by himself for a quarter of an hour without feeling tired, he can stop taking the medicine. By October, Tiehu stopped the medicine.
Tie Hu’s expression froze, and then he joked: “Your brother also wants to give more money so that he can buy a generous dowry for you.” When Kui Zi is an adult, he is afraid that he will leave.
During this time, every time I think of this Tie Hu, I feel very sad, but he can’t stop Tie Kui. This child has too many things on his back, he can’t help, and he must not drag the child’s hind legs.
Chunni said with an ugly face: “I don’t want the dowry that my brother bought for me. Father, many girls in the village get married, and they don’t have a load of dowry. My eldest sister and I will have a complete set of furniture in the future, and this alone is very decent. “Since the news of Tiehu’s good legs spread, many people have been matchmakers for Chunxiang and Chunni sisters. The conditions for Chunxiang were not good, and Tiehu had other plans for Chunni’s marriage. Therefore, the marriage of the two sisters is still pending.
Tie Hu smiled and said, “Father is joking with you. You also know that Kui Zi has always had the right idea since he was a child, and I can’t stop what he wants to do.”
Chun Ni hummed and said nothing.
In the blink of an eye, we talked about Laba, and everyone made Laba porridge. At this time last year, neither of the sisters had the heart to do it. This year, it was already ready.
The two sisters were cooking Laba porridge when they heard a knock on the door. Chun Ni washed her hands, took off her bib and went out to open the door.
Seeing the person standing outside the door, Chun Ni’s face sank immediately: “If you are interested, get out of here, today is a good day, I don’t want to hit you with a broom.”
“Big sister, I’m here to find Kuizi.” Seeing Chunni running to get the broom, Shao Li hurriedly said, “Big sister, I made an appointment with Kuizi, and I’ll come to see him when things are done?”
If you want to lie, you won’t make up such a low-level excuse. But Chunni still asked back: “Really?”
“As soon as you ask Kuizi about this, you will know whether it is true or false.” As soon as the family matter was resolved, he came over.
Chun Ni said, “Kuizi has gone out and won’t be back until noon. Since you’re looking for him, just wait outside!” After speaking, she closed the door.
Shao Lili looked at the closed door and smiled bitterly. His future sister-in-law is really amazing.
Chunxiang asked, “Who is it?”
“The sister-in-law Wang next door said she wanted to borrow the salt at home, but I refused.” Sister-in-law Wang next door borrowed either salt or rice. At first, she didn’t know that her virtue sisters borrowed it. Later, when I saw that I didn’t pay it back, I borrowed it again, but Chunni stopped borrowing it.
Chunxiang did not suspect him and continued to cook porridge.
Fortunately, Tie Kui also remembered that today is Laba, so he went around the traps he set up and came back. When I got to the door, I saw Shao Lili who was circling in circles.
When Shao Lili saw Tie Kui carrying two pheasants, he shouted happily, “Brother Kui…”
Tie Kui hummed: “Wait for me.” After speaking, he went to push the door, and when he couldn’t push it, he shouted loudly.
Chun Ni opened the door, looked at Shao Li with a look of disgust and said, “Adi, he said he came to see you, and said he had an appointment with you before.”
Tie Kui snorted and handed the two pheasants in his hand to Chun Ni and said, “Second sister, let’s eat hot pot at night.”
“Okay.” The three siblings like to eat hot pot in cold weather the most. After eating, the whole body is warm.
Tie Kui turned to Shao Lili and said, “If you have something to say, let’s talk outside.”
When he reached the entrance of the village, Tie Kui asked, “What are you looking for from me?”
“Our family has been separated.” Seeing Tie Kui’s indifferent expression, Shao Li said, “The house and fields are all given to my elder brother and younger brother, and I don’t want anything.”
Tie Kui chuckled lightly and said, “It’s like you were swept out of the house.”
Shao Lihe coughed and said, “My father followed my eldest brother, and my mother followed my younger brother. When the family was separated, my father said in front of the village chief and the patriarch that he did not share my property, and I would not need to support them in the future. Second old man.”
“Then what will you marry my eldest sister? You can’t let my sister sleep with you on the street?” He believed that Shao Lili could earn food and clothing, but where would he live after he got married without a house.
Shao Lili said: “Don’t worry, I have saved a sum of money and can buy two houses in the county seat. But after buying the house, I have no money on hand. If I want to get married, it will not happen until the end of next year.” One year is enough to save money to get married.
Tie Kui was very satisfied with the result: “After you buy the house, ask a matchmaker to come to my house to propose marriage!”
Shao Lili was overjoyed: “Can I meet Chunxiang?”
“After the engagement, I will let you meet again.” Seeing Shao Lichen’s disappointment, Tie Kui said, “It’s not less than a month away.”
After returning home, Tie Kui told Tie Hu about this: “Dad, second brother Shao really likes the eldest sister. As the saying goes, it is rare to find a lover for priceless treasures, so let’s fulfill them!”
Tie Hu frowned and said, “How did they split up the family?” If they split up the family by any illegitimate means, they wouldn’t be able to marry their daughter to him.
Tie Kui has always been concerned about the situation of the Shao family. After the affair between Shao Lixing and the widow broke out, Shao Lixing didn’t take the money home again, and Mrs. Shao was unwilling to keep her uncle. The Shao family was so noisy. Some time ago, the widow was pregnant and said it was Shao Lixing’s child. The widow’s husband’s family asked the Shao family to give one hundred taels of silver, otherwise they would go to the yamen and sue Shao Lixing.
The money saved by Shao’s mother was almost used by Shao Lixing. To preserve Shao Lixing’s future and reputation, he had to sell his land to make money. It’s a pity not to mention Brother Shao’s husband and wife, even Father Shao disagrees.
Tie Kui guessed that the Shao family would split up, but he thought it would split after the New Year. Unexpectedly, the Shao family is now separated.
Tie Kui said: “Second brother Shao’s father said in front of the village chief and the patriarch that there was no distinction between his house and fields, and he would not want him to give him old-age care in the future.”
As long as the family separation has nothing to do with Shao Lili, Tie Hu has no worries: “It’s best to let him inform Shao’s father and Shao’s mother. Otherwise, what would it look like when his parents were not present when they got married.”
Tie Kui said, “I’ll tell him when the time comes.” Father Shao quickly divided the family when he saw that his younger son was not growing up. When Brother Shao gets married, he will definitely be there. As for Mother Shao, that’s not necessarily the case.
“Father, don’t tell the eldest sister about this beforehand. After the matchmaker arrives, tell her about it.” If he told Chunxiang now that something went wrong, he was afraid that Chunxiang wouldn’t be able to bear the blow.
Two days before the Chinese New Year, Tie Kui carried a twenty-pound deer down from the mountain.
Seeing this deer, Chun Ni said with a smile: “We Kuizi are getting more and more capable, and I will not worry about running out of meat in the future.” Tie Kui began to hunt in the mountains after the fall. The hares have hit a lot of these.
“Second sister, don’t worry, you will be guaranteed to eat meat every day in the future, until you don’t want to.”
Chun Ni laughed: “I’m looking forward to this day.”
After the Lantern Festival, Shao Lili came to Tie Kui. After showing the house deed to him, Shao Lili said, “I’ll ask the matchmaker Chen to come to your house to propose a marriage later.”
Tie Kui said, “Second brother Shao, my father is worried that you and my eldest sister are getting married, and your parents will not attend the wedding.” When the son is married, the wedding will be ugly if his parents don’t show up.
Shao Lili smiled and said, “Don’t worry about this, I have told my eldest brother and the others that I want to marry Chunxiang. They didn’t object, and they even told me to do the marriage at home.”
The Shao family was separated, and Shao Lili had nothing. After marriage, it will not be as popular as it used to be.
“It’s okay to have a wedding at your house, but the furniture must be sent directly to the county seat.” He didn’t worry about Shao’s mother, this person was so biased that he lost his sense. In case she wants to take her sister’s dowry as her own, it will be another troublesome time.
Shao Lichen naturally has no opinion.
On the 18th day of the first lunar month, the matchmaker Chen came to say kiss. Because he was already ventilated, the Tie family did not shy away.
When others asked about this, the Tie family said that they were moved by Shao Lili’s sincerity. By the way, I also mentioned that Shao Li bought a house in the county seat. Although there are only two rooms, it is enough to make the villagers envious.
But I don’t know, because of buying a house and buying a property, Shao’s mother was so angry that he scolded him for being unfilial.
Set up a marriage, the man wants to give a dowry. Originally thought that Shao Li had no money to buy a house, and the dowry would be very shabby. But he didn’t expect that in addition to the cakes, chicken, duck and fish wine, he also gave two taels of silver.
Tie Hu looked at the silver in the red envelope and said, “This child has quite a lot of private houses hidden.”
Tie Kui smiled: “Father, I guess the money for this dowry should be borrowed. However, it is considered a heart.” These things add up to only four or five taels of silver, which is not as much as before. But it was all planned by Shao Lichan, and that was enough.
In fact, Tie Kui didn’t care about the amount of money, what he wanted was the sincerity of the other party.
After the marriage was settled, Tie Kui said: “Eldest sister, your face is very bad during this time, so you have to make up for it. Otherwise, Brother Shao would have to scare away when he saw you like this.”
Chunxiang covered her face and asked incredulously, “Is it really that ugly?”
“Big sister, fortunately, the marriage is scheduled for the end of September. There are still nine months, you can take care of your body slowly.” After a pause, Tie Kui said again: “Big sister, don’t go out to work before you get married, fight for this Whiten for a while.”
Chunxiang was a little hesitant to hear the words: “I don’t go to work, and Chunni can’t do the work in the field alone!”
“When you’re busy, you just need to pay someone to hire someone.” In addition to hunting in the mountains, Tie Kui practiced at home, copied books, and rarely worked in the fields.
It is only 20 to 30 cents a day for one person, and he has 800 cents for copying a book for the county bookstore. Instead of working hard in the fields, it is better to copy a book and hire someone to do it.
This proposal was unanimously approved by Tiehu and Chunni. Chunni said, “Eldest sister, you have to raise yourself to be tender and tender, and strive to be the most beautiful bride.”
Chunxiang blushed.
For this married girl, her family must prepare a dowry. Although there is that set of furniture, it is enough for Chunxiang to marry decently. But Tie Kui didn’t want to lose her.
On this day, Tie Kui bought pink and goose-yellow fabrics for Chunxiang and Chunni to make new clothes to wear.
Chunni smiled and said, “Adi, I want to go to work in the field and wear such a good material is totally a waste, and this material is used to make clothes for the eldest sister.
Seeing that Chunxiang disagreed, Chunni smiled and said, “Eldest sister, you should prepare these clothes before you get married. You don’t have to worry about me. Kuizi will definitely buy them for me in the future.” Part of the dowry, the new clothes are mostly the decency of the eldest sister.
Tie Kui smiled and said, “Second sister, don’t worry, if the eldest sister has it, you will have it.” This home will be owned by Chunni from now on.
Chunni said cheerfully, “I’m not worried.” Although she wasn’t her own brother, she always felt that Tie Kui was better than her own brother. Because Tie Kui will protect them, and he will think of them if there is anything good. It is a blessing for their sisters to have such a younger brother.
This afternoon, the matchmaker Chen came to the door again. This time I came to the door to say kisses for Chunni.
In fact, many people are targeting Tie Kui, thinking that he is a potential stock. However, the farmers have a habit of saying that the older ones can’t tell the younger ones if they don’t say kisses. Therefore, Chunni’s marriage has not been decided, and no one has mentioned it in front of the railway.
This time the matchmaker Chen told Chunni the family name was Hong. The family had 20 mu of fertile land and 20 mu of dry land, built six large brick houses, and had two daughters and one son. The eldest daughter is married, and the youngest daughter will go out after a few years when she is thirteen years old.
The matchmaker Chen briefly explained the situation of the Hong family, and then said: “The Hong family has only one son, so there is no need to worry that someone will divide the family property in the future. Besides, Hong Dalang is diligent and capable, and he is also a good farmer. Hong’s father and Hong’s mother are also both A good-tempered person, Nizi is not afraid of being troubled by her parents-in-law when she gets married.” This condition is really very good in a farmhouse.
Tie Hu was silent and said, “I’ll answer you in two days on this matter!”
“Then I’ll wait for your good news.” Matchmaker Chen felt that the marriage was almost certain.
Chun Ni saw that Tie Hu’s face was a little heavy, and asked, “Dad, did Aunt Chen say that people are not good? Daddy, it’s okay to refuse.” Chunni is more aggressive and has a cheerful temperament, unlike Chunxiang when she talks about it. She is shy and timid in her own relationship.
Tie Hu shook his head and said, “No, what Aunt Chen said is not bad, it’s just…” It was just his plan, and he couldn’t tell Chun Ni until he talked to Tie Kui.
“Father, if you don’t like it, just say no. I have such a generous dowry because of my personality, so I don’t have to worry about finding a good family.” Not a good family.
When Tie Hu heard this, his mood became heavier. The daughter is so good, but it is difficult to find a good husband: “Go and see if your brother is back?”
Chun Ni felt that Tie Hu’s attitude was a bit strange, but she didn’t ask much, anyway, she wouldn’t say, “I’ll go right now.”
