[Chapter 2103 Tie Kui Fanwai (27)]
Song Sihai was dead, on the oiran’s bed in the building. When the news came out, those rude men thought that Song Sihai was not capable enough to take over-the-top boosters before he died. Even if he died, everyone secretly laughed at him for being an embroidered pillow.
Unexpectedly, Song Sihai’s death was just the beginning. In the following period of time, the people of the Song family were murdered one after another. Even the most sluggish person knows that this is not right. Not long after, there were rumors that someone from the Yan family came to seek revenge.
Qiu Dashan said to Tie Kui excitedly that day, “They all said that the Song family was killed by the third young master.” Just listening to this title, you can know his attitude.
Tie Kui shook his head and said, “After all, it’s just a rumor, there’s no definite evidence.” The greater the hope, the heavier the disappointment. So, don’t get your hopes up.
“No, I think this rumor is true. Third Young Master he is not dead, Third Young Master he must not be dead. Third Young Master, he is coming back for revenge.” When he said this, Qiu Dashan was very excited.
He also knew that Tie Kui’s mouth was tight, so he wouldn’t hide his attitude.
Tie Kui was silent for a while and said, “Sir, if Yan San Shao is really not dead, I think he will definitely come to you.” Qiu Dashan was Yan Wushuang’s companion, and he has always been loyal to the Yan family. If Yan Wushuang did not die and wanted to take revenge, he would find Qiu Dashan sooner or later.
Qiu Dashan said with a look of hope: “I hope San Shao can come to me as soon as possible.” In this way, he can determine whether it is San Shao who is still alive.
After this time, Qiu Dashan often mentioned Yan Wushuang to Tie Kui, and sometimes talked about his childhood. But I don’t know why, so I suddenly stopped talking.
Tie Kui guessed that Yan Wushuang was probably not dead, otherwise Qiu Dashan’s attitude would not be so strange. But she is a very winking person, Qiu Dashan will not take the initiative to say this, he will not mention this.
After this messenger of revenge appeared, it was a good thing for most people in the army. After all the members of the Song family in the army died, no one would take credit for everyone else. Qiu Dashan has also been promoted from the centurion to the thousand households of the fifth grade.
For Tie Kui, who rescued him and took good care of him, Qiu Dashan was naturally generous. In just five years, Tie Kui was promoted from a soldier to a deputy thousand householder of the fifth rank.
After the winter, there was no war, so Tie Kui and Qiu Dashan took a leave of absence: “General, I have been away from home for five years, and I want to go home to visit relatives.” Generals of the third rank and above can be called generals. Qiu Dashan is now a general from the third rank.
The higher you go, the harder it is to ascend. It took only five years for Qiu Dashan to be promoted from the fifth rank to the third guerrilla general. Not only did he make a lot of military exploits, but it also had a great relationship with someone who secretly supported him.
Middle-level generals of rank five and above have family leave every year. However, many people are reluctant to go back because they are far from home. There is no one at home, there is no home to go back to. Qiu Dashan is one of them.
Qiu Dashan readily granted a one-and-a-half-month vacation: “After I go back, I will try to resolve the marriage.” At twenty years old, he is still a bachelor.
Tie Kui shook his head and said, “I’m in a precarious situation. Isn’t marrying a wife harmful!” Now, he has no idea of marrying a wife. First, the war is too dangerous, and you may die at any time. And if he didn’t die, he would marry a girl from an official family, not a country girl who didn’t know a single character.
Tie Kui, brought back Zhong Shantong and a few others with his confidant. Half a month later, I arrived at Tiejia Village.
Five years away from home, nothing has changed here. Tie Kui felt particularly cordial when he saw the smoke rising from each household.
Riding to the entrance of the village, a child was walking slowly on the back of an ox. Hearing the sound of hooves, he turned his head involuntarily. Seeing Tie Kui and the others, the child quickly jumped off the back of the cow, then dragged the cow and walked quickly towards the village. It looked like Tie Kui and the others were beasts.
Seeing this, Tie Kui laughed and said, “Shantong, do you think I’m so fierce?” He didn’t change his appearance since he left home, why is such a child so afraid of him.
Zhong Shantong smiled and said, “It’s not that you are fierce as adults, but children are more timid.”
In fact, it’s not that the child is timid, but that Tie Kui has killed a lot of people over the years, and his body is very evil.
When I got to the door of my house, I heard the cry of a child before I entered. When I opened the door, I saw a chubby child laying on the ground and howling, not to mention how sad he looked.
Hearing the door slam, Chun Ni, who was cooking, came out. Looking at Tie Kui walking at the forefront, Chun Ni asked with a vigilant look, “Who are you?”
Tie Kui didn’t know whether to laugh or cry: “Second sister, I’ve only been away from home for five years and you don’t recognize me?”
In fact, it’s not that Chun Ni didn’t recognize him, but Tie Kui was wearing a military uniform and accompanied by a long knife. It looks majestic, but also scary.
Chun Ni was so shocked that she dropped the shovel in her hand on the ground without knowing it.
Tie Kui smiled and said, “Second sister, where are your father and brother-in-law? Haven’t you come back yet?”
Chunni came back to her senses and said, “Still in the ground, Kuizi, wait, I’ll call them back.”
Tie Kui hurriedly stopped Chun Ni and said, “Second sister, let’s cook! I’ll go to the field and ask my father and brother-in-law to come back.”
In the past five years, the family has purchased another ten mu of land, but they have not bought any more land. With these four acres of land, their family is busy enough. No amount can be planted. As for the fields, when they are plowed and harvested, they have to hire people.
“Okay, then you can call, and I’ll cook.” After speaking, Chunni looked at Zhong Shantong and asked, “Kuizi, how many of you are there?”
“three people.”
Tie Kui turned around and wanted to go to the ground to find Tie Hu and Duan Dongzi. After going out for a while, they saw the two returning with their hoes.
“Father, brother-in-law.”
The appearance has changed, but the voice has not changed. Duan Dongzi was okay, but Tie Hu burst into tears when he saw Tie Kui. Over the past few years, he has been worried every day for fear of receiving news of Tie Kui’s death in battle. Fortunately, it passed without any risk, and Tie Kui also rose step by step to become an official as he wished.
Tie Hu took Tie Kui’s hand and said, “Go home, go home quickly.” When he said this, his voice was a little choked.
After entering the house, Tie Hu asked, “Kuizi, how long can you stay at home this time?”
Hearing that he could stay for half a month, Tie Kui couldn’t be more happy: “You are too old, so take advantage of this time to marry your relative.” His son is not married yet in his twenties, and Tie Hu has a heart problem.
Tie Kui shook his head and said, “Father, I have no plans to get married yet.”
“Kuizi…”
Tie Kui said what was in his heart, and then said: “Father, the second sister already has a son, so the Tie family will not worry about the future.” As for the Ning family, it would be better if the son was useless.
Having said this, Tie Kui immediately changed the subject: “Father, Fatty is quite cute, and his voice is loud.” He communicated frequently and knew the situation at home.
Speaking of his grandson, Tie Hu couldn’t hide the smile on his face: “This child not only has a loud voice, but also has a big temper. If he doesn’t follow his wishes, he will cry loudly.”
After the father and son talked for a long time, Chun Ni said outside, “Father, Kui Zi, it’s time to eat.”
When he walked out of the room and saw Chunni holding her waist, Tie Kui asked, “Second sister, what’s the matter with you?”
Chun Ni smiled and said, “I’ve been pregnant with my second child for more than three months.” Because it’s winter, it’s hard to tell.
“Pang Dun is three years old, he really should have a company.” In a farmhouse, there are too few children.
It’s not that Chunni didn’t want to have a baby, but that she never got pregnant after giving birth to Fatty. But with the fat pier, the husband and wife are not in a hurry.
After eating a bite of Chinese cabbage, Tie Kui smiled and said, “Second sister, your cooking skills are much better than when I left home.”
Chunni said with a smile, “How can I have. I’m afraid that your food in the army is not good enough to think that my cooking skills have improved.”
After eating, Chun Ni packed up the dishes and went to the kitchen. Duan Dongzi was afraid that she was tired, so she went to the kitchen to help.
Seeing this, Tie Kui was very satisfied.
Tie Hu said with a smile, “Your second brother-in-law is very good to Chun Ni and depends on her for everything. Since Chun Ni is pregnant, she is not allowed to go to the ground again.”
In the beginning, there were still some people in the village who said sour words, and even some people with bad intentions wanted to provoke the relationship between the husband and wife. However, they all touched a grey nose. Nowadays, people in the village say that Chunni has a good life and has recruited such a good husband.
Tie Kui smiled and said, “I’ve already seen that the second brother-in-law is someone who knows how to love his daughter-in-law.” When everything is fine at home, he can feel at ease when he is outside.
At night, father and son slept together, and Tiehu asked a lot about the army. Tie Kui always picked some interesting things to say, and didn’t mention the danger at all.
The next day, Tie Kui went to Jiu Taiye’s house. Because of his advanced age, Jiu Taiye has already ceded the positions of the patriarch and the lieutenant. Because other people don’t have the prestige of Jiu Taiye, so the patriarch and the chief are no longer held by the same person. However, Master Jiu is still a unique character in the village.
Hearing Tie Kui coming, Master Jiu hurriedly got up and walked to the door to welcome him.
When Tie Kui saw it, he hurriedly helped him sit back on the kang: “Master, you haven’t seen each other for five years, and your body is still healthy!”
Master Jiu shook his head and said, “I’m old and useless.” He suffered a disease three years ago, which made his health not as good as before. Otherwise, they would not have handed over the positions of the patriarch and the chief.
Seeing the gift box on the table, Master Jiu frowned and said, “Every time you come to my house, you have to bring something, and you don’t listen to me. You are too raw.”
Tie Kui smiled and said: “Master, this is also my heart.” If it wasn’t for the respected old man in front of him, how could their family have a foothold in the Tie family so quickly. Therefore, he is especially grateful to Master Jiu.
This time, Master Jiu didn’t refuse again: “I listen to your father, you are now a hundred households of the sixth grade.” Also because there is an official in the village, the people of Tiejia Village are more respectful when they go out.
Tie Kui said with a smile: “Not long ago, I was promoted to one level, and now I am a deputy thousand households from the fifth rank.”
“Okay, good, good, my Tie family has also made a big man.” He always felt that Tie Kui was very capable, and he would definitely live well in the future. But I never imagined that this child would be so promising.
After praising Tie Kui, Master Jiu also mentioned the marriage: “You are not too young now, it’s time to start a family and start a business.”
Tie Kui shook his head and said, “My current situation is not suitable for marrying a wife. If there is an accident, I will harm other girls. Let’s wait for two years!”
The parties do not agree, and outsiders cannot force it.
After talking with Master Jiu for a long time, Tie Kui said goodbye and went home.
Master Jiu kept Tie Kui for dinner.
Tie Kui said with a smile: “Master, the chickens have been killed at home, so I won’t stay at your house for dinner. But this time I can stay at home for more than ten days, so I don’t need to worry about eating.”
Master Jiu let him go back.
Tong Shi picked up the gift box and felt light and airy. She was a little strange, and opened the gift box immediately.
Opening it, Tong Shi exclaimed: “Old man, Kuizi sent us a ginseng.” This ginseng is not big, but it looks very good.
Master Jiu carefully looked at the ginseng in the box, and then said, “This ginseng is probably twenty or thirty years old.”
Tong Shi felt that this gift was too precious: “This child is real, how much does it cost?” Although it was a gift for them, it was also distressing.
“Kuizi guessed that we were getting older, so he gave us this ginseng to supplement our body.” This child presumably helped him to his family before. To be honest, he didn’t help the Tiehu family.
“Old man, if I ask Dashuan to take it to the pharmacy tomorrow and ask how much it is, shall we give the money to Kuizi?” Although Tie Kui called her wife, she was not a direct descendant of her own family. Such a heavy gift, she received a hot hand.
The old man took a cigarette, shook his head and said, “Forget it, if we give money, it will hurt the child’s filial piety. In the future, let Dashuan and the others help the Tie family.” Twenty or thirty taels of silver. In the past two years, he has not been in good health, and the family has spent a lot of money. If you give money to the ginseng, your family will be hollowed out. You can’t just ignore the family’s livelihood for the sake of face.
Tong Shi nodded and couldn’t help but say: “Kuizi is so promising and filial, Huzi is really lucky.”
“Our family’s Dashuan and Ershuan are very filial.” Although the two sons are not very promising, they are very filial to their two elders because of their steadfastness and diligence. Master Jiu is satisfied.
Tong Shi nodded.
On the way home, Tie Kui met Father Li with his grandson. He stepped forward and said hello, “Uncle…”
Father Li was stunned for a few seconds before he reacted: “Kuizi, are you back?” There was an indescribable surprise in his words.
Tie Kui came back yesterday evening, and the Li family did not go out at night. After breakfast today, he took his grandson to town.
“Yes, I came back yesterday.” After speaking, he looked at the little boy he was holding and smiled: “Is this a stone? It’s so big in a blink of an eye.” Although he hates Li Gui, he still respects Father Li very much. .
Father Li smiled and said, “Children grow up fast. Kuizi, are you going back this time?”
Tie Kui shook his head: “This time I’m going home to visit relatives, and I’ll be returning to the military camp after staying for half a month.”
After a few words of greeting, Tie Kui went home.
Father Li looked at Tie Kui’s back, sighed after a long time, and then took his grandson’s hand and went home.
After lunch at home, Tie Kui said, “Dad, I’m going to the county seat to visit my eldest sister.” He didn’t go to the county seat, but turned around and went home.
Tie Hu did not agree: “Anyway, you have been at home for more than ten days, and it will not be too late to go tomorrow.”
Tie Kui nodded.
Chun Ni smiled and said, “Kuizi, the eldest sister has changed the house. It just so happened that I didn’t go to the county town to see the eldest sister for more than three months. I will go with you tomorrow, so that you won’t be able to find a place.”
Duan Dongzi disagreed: “It takes a day to go back and forth to the county seat. You are not fit to go out in the cold weather. Tomorrow I will take Kuizi to the county seat to visit the eldest sister, and you will bring Dunzi at home.”
Tie Hu also disapproved of Chunni going to the county seat: “After you give birth, you can go to your eldest sister’s house whenever you want. But now it’s not possible.” The road was bumpy in this cold weather. How can you be careless.
