Tie Kui Extra Story (10)

The village chief rushed over upon hearing the news and asked, "What's going on?" There were frequent fights in the village, but it was the first time that an adult fought with a child and the adult was beaten to the point of crying.

Crying and pointing to her own face, Meng said: "Grandpa Ninth, look, this bastard beat me. Grandpa Ninth, you are the most fair person in the village. According to the family law, the younger generation should be expelled from the village for beating the elder?" Although beating the elders will not drive them out of the village, they will also be severely punished. But in this case, it is usually the adult junior who is marked by the older elder.

Tie Kui immediately retorted: "What kind of elder do you call me? My father said that his grandparents died of illness a long time ago, and he was the only one left in the family." He confessed to the beating, but he did not admit to beating the elder.

After finishing speaking, Tie Kui also complained: "Grandpa, this crazy woman scolded me as soon as I came up, a bastard who had a mother but no father, and said that my ancestors must have lacked great virtue to give birth to my father, a wolf-hearted beast." The animal is a bastard like me. Grandpa, I know it is wrong to beat people, but she scolded my parents and insulted my ancestors, if I don't beat her, I will be ashamed of being a son of man and a descendant of the Tie family."

Well, Tie Kui put himself on the moral high ground in one fell swoop. As soon as he said this, no one dared to say that it was wrong for him to beat someone.

The village chief said with a dark face: "You dare to insult even your ancestors, kneel down for three days and go to the ancestral hall." Cursing Tie Kui's ancestors is tantamount to scolding his ancestors.

In fact, the Meng family scolded Tie Kui, a bastard, and Tie Hulang, but never scolded the ancestors of the Tie family. It's a pity that everyone in the village knows about her bad mouth, and everyone likes Tie Kui's politeness after returning to the village, so no matter how she defends, no one believes her.

Seeing that she was still cursing, the village chief got angry: "If you dare to be so dirty again, get the hell out of here and go back to Shangjia Village immediately." Mrs. Meng is from Shangjia Village.

Mrs. Meng didn't dare to say anything anymore, went home dejectedly, changed her clothes, and went to kneel in the ancestral hall.

The village chief looked at Tie Kui and said, "Although what Mrs. Meng said is not pleasant, she is indeed your biological aunt." Tie Kui is only nine years old this year, and if he is older, he will definitely be punished.

Tie Kui heard the words and said: "My father said that he has no brothers and sisters." This means that Tie Hu does not recognize this relative, and he will not recognize it.

This was a muddled account, and the village head could only sigh: "Forget about this time, don't fight again in the future."

"Grandpa, I won't offend people if they don't offend me; if someone offends me, I will never forgive him." Being bullied to the top of your head and not saying a word will only make people think that you are weak and incompetent, making it easier to bully.

Knowing this, Mrs. Tong sighed, "You're right, our Dashuan is indeed not as good as this kid." Mrs. Meng was beaten so badly and punished to kneel in the ancestral hall. .

This child is unusually deep-minded, no wonder Tiehu dared to entrust him with building the house.

The village chief said: "In the future, take care of Tiehu's family more. Although this child has deep thoughts, he is a kind person who repays kindness. Let's take care of Tie's family more now. In the future, this child will promote other children when he is successful."

Tong Shi nodded.

Tiehu went down the mountain in the middle, and the house was half built at this time. After looking at it, you can see that the mason has worked very carefully.

Tie Kui said with a bitter face, "Father, I forgot to dig the cellar." Cellars are places for storing food and vegetables, and basically every family has them.

"I plan to dig two cellars by myself. One is for daily necessities such as grain and vegetables, and the other is for valuable things." In times of disaster, you can also store more food.

Tie Kui knew that Tie Hu had other plans, so he didn't worry about it anymore.

The house was built in one and a half months, and it was already late October. The weather has become very cold.

After Tiehu inspected the whole house, he settled the wages for everyone.

Before going up the mountain, Tiehu gave the village head twenty taels of silver: "Grandpa Nine, if there are field sellers nearby, pay the deposit first. I will pay the balance when I go down the mountain in the spring."

Hearing that Tiehu was going to buy five acres of fertile land, the village chief took the money and said, "I'll ask someone to inquire, and if there are any land sellers, I'll definitely settle it for you."

After dealing with these matters, Tie Hu took Tie Kui to the mountain. Afraid of heavy snowfall, it will be troublesome to close the mountain at that time.

After not seeing each other for more than a month, Tie Kui saw that the mother and daughter of the Jin family had all lost weight: "Mother, eldest sister, second sister, why did you lose so much weight?"

Jin said with an open-eyed smile, "It's nothing, I'll come back after raising it in winter. Kuizi, is the house ready?" As long as the thought of moving down the mountain in spring, Jin's mood will be particularly good.

Chunni looked sad. Since Tie Kui went down the mountain, the Jin family has been cooking for herself and not letting Chun Xiang into the kitchen, and the food has dropped several times. Plus I'm busy from morning to night, so it's no wonder I'm not thin!

Tie Kui smiled and said: "The house has been built, and we will go down the mountain in spring."

Tiehu took his mother and daughter up the mountain to pick up goods for more than a month, and now the house is full of piles. There were even a lot of bamboo baskets in Tie Kui and Jin's room. Inside are chestnut balls, walnuts and hazelnuts that have not been picked.

Chunni said: "We will slowly pick these things at home when the weather is cold." Although it was very tiring during this time, Chunni did not complain. Because if you save more things now, you won’t be afraid of going hungry next year.

The weather turned cold, and the three mother and daughter stayed at home to do things. Tie Hu took Tie Kui up the mountain to teach him how to hunt. If he hunted wild animals, he would go home for extra food, and if he didn't, he would pick up two bundles of firewood.

The father and son didn't go up the mountain until it snowed heavily.

In the beginning of spring, a family of five went down the mountain with big bags and small bags. Along the way, Chunni chirped like a bird.

But this good mood is gone at the door of the house. Chunni stood at the gate and saw the people in the yard, and asked in surprise: "Father, Kuizi, did we go to the wrong place?" There is clearly someone in this house!

Tie Hu dropped the things, and walked in with big strides. Tie Kui also put down the basket, picked up Tie Hu's carrying pole and rushed in.

Chunxiang and Chunni sisters looked at each other, then quickly put down the things and said to Jin: "Mother, look at the things."

The villagers ran out when they heard the howling of ghosts and wolves, but after knowing that it was Tiehu's family, they all stood at the door, but no one entered the house to persuade them to fight.

After a while, Tie Dalin and Meng were thrown out of Tie's house covered in blood. Except for the four children, everyone else died. And their things were also thrown out by Tiehu's family.

Da Shuan told his father about it.

But the village chief said without raising his eyes: "That day when he picked the lock and I stopped him from entering, what did he say? He said he could live in my brother's house."

That child not only survived in the mountains, but also married a wife and had children and saved such a large sum of money, he could be a softie.

In fact, if the village head really wants to drive Tie Dalin's family out, it's not impossible. It's just that he knows the virtues of this family, and he doesn't know how to restrain himself without giving them enough lessons.

Unexpectedly, Tie Jia Dalang carried the injured Tie Dalin and his wife to the village chief's house and begged him to call the shots.

The village chief ignored them at all, asking him to say that he deserved to be beaten to death. Otherwise, the atmosphere in the entire Tiejia Village would be ruined.

After finishing speaking, the village chief warned Tie Dalin's family: "This is the last time, if there is another time, Tiejia Village will not be able to accommodate you." The village must not be smoky.

Tie Dalin's legs were broken, and Meng's teeth were all lost. It took more than half a month for the wounds on his two sons to heal.

After this incident, Tie Dalin's family saw both Tie Hu and Tie Kui detour. Of course, this is something.

Tiehu's family cleaned up the house from inside to outside, and the whole family didn't eat hot meals until the moon was in the middle of the sky.

During the meal, Tie Kui and Tie Hu said: "Father, I think I should get a dog to raise. If someone dares to trespass on my house again, I will let the dog bite people."

Mrs. Jin was the first to object, saying, "Where does our family get food for dogs?" Raising dogs also requires capital.

Tie Hu nodded and said, "You're right. From now on, when we hunt in the mountains, we should have a dog to guard the house."

Jin is very wronged, now her husband treats him as nothing, and she has less and less status in the family.

What she didn't expect was that after breakfast the next day, Tiehu announced that Chunni would be the head of the house in the future.

Jin jumped up first and said: "No way, how can we let her be the head of the house like a girl?"

Tie Hu asked back: "If you dare to swear, if you want to make up for the Jin family, you will be immediately abandoned by me, and you will live alone forever."

Jin's eyes widened, but she dared not swear. In the end, the power of stewardship fell on Chunni.

Chunni herself is at a loss: "Brother, can I be a housekeeper?"

"If you don't understand anything, ask your grandma or grandma Shuan, or Aunt Li." After finishing speaking, Tie Kui said, "Second sister, no one is born to know everything. If not, let's ask more questions. Listen more and read more. After a long time, you will naturally understand everything.”

Chunni smiled and said, "I'll listen to Brother."

The father and son went to the village chief's house, and were told that they hadn't bought any fields.

Tie Hu knew that good land was difficult to buy, but it was not difficult to buy land. That day they followed the advice of the village chief and bought four acres of fertile land at the foot of the mountain. The reason why there are no contacts in this place is because there are often wild boars. But Tiehu is not worried at all, just set a few traps. If you can't get the trap, just kill it when the time comes.

The land is fertile, but it is overgrown with weeds because it has not been cultivated. In addition to food, melons, fruits, vegetables and other crops depend on it. So the family of five started to get busy again.

The Li family father and son and Dashuan brother and his wife also came to help. There are many people and strength, but in three days, almost three acres of land have been reclaimed. For the rest, Tiehu will not let a few people come to help.

In the evening of the same day, Tie Kui and Chun Ni gave each family ten catties of bacon and a bag of mountain products.

On the way back, Tie Kui said, "Second Sister, everything comes and goes. They helped us today, and we will help them if they have something to do in the future." Chunni grew up in the mountains and didn't understand many things. But Jin's finger is unreliable, Tiehu is busy and men are careless, so he can only teach.

Chun Ni nodded and said: "I see, we will help Grandfather and Uncle Li's family when there is something to do."

After reclaiming the three mu of land, Jin asked Tiehu to go hunting. There is no land at home, if Tiehu doesn't go hunting and drinking northwest wind with his family!

Tie Kui disagreed, and said to Tie Hu: "Father, you have been busy every day during this time. Making money is important, but your body is more important."

Under Tie Kui's strong opposition, Tie Hu stayed at home to rest. Two days later, the father and son went hunting in the mountains.

The mother and daughter were not idle at home, and first divided the reclaimed three acres of land into pieces. Each plot was then planted with a different crop.

After planting the three mu of land, Jin asked the mother and daughter to continue to cultivate the remaining one mu of land.

Before, it was just a strike, but now it is to plow the ground. This was a lot of hard work, and within a day Chunxiang and Chunni's hands were covered with blood blisters.

Chunxiang is soft-tempered, no matter how painful her hands are, she dare not make a sound. But Chunni quit: "Mother, my arms and hands hurt, and I won't plow the land tomorrow." It wasn't because she was lazy, she really couldn't do it, and her arms are still sore. As for the hands, it will still be hot and painful.

Mrs. Jin scolded Chunni for a while, and then said: "Now that the land is cultivated, we can grow a lot of things. Even if there is no food, we won't be hungry in winter."

Chun Ni said with a bitter face: "Mother, it's not that I don't want to do it, but I really can't do it." The two sisters are very diligent, but what they are doing now is beyond their tolerance.

The Jin family has always favored sons over daughters, not to mention that she also hates Chunni very much: "What can't be done is obviously because you are lazy and don't want to do it. If you say you are so lazy, who will dare to marry you in the future?"

Chunni was so wronged that she burst into tears.

Unfortunately, these words happened to be heard by Tie Hu and Tie Kui who came back.

When Jin saw Tiehu's face as black as charcoal, she was flustered: "My son's father, I'm not, I scolded Chunni because she didn't want to work."

Chunni wiped her tears and said, "My aunt asked me to cultivate the land with my eldest sister. I couldn't even lift a hoe after one day of work." Although she grew up in the mountains, the heaviest work she ever did was carrying water and chopping firewood. I have never done such a thing as land reclamation.

Land reclamation is very hard work, and many grown men can't stand it, let alone a twelve-year-old girl.

Tie Hu said coldly: "If you can't get married, I will support her for the rest of my life."

Jin wanted to say which family would keep their daughter forever, but seeing Tiehu's unfriendly expression, she swallowed the words on her lips.

Tiehu said to Chunni: "Don't worry about that land, I'll do it in summer."

Chunni nodded and said, "Okay."

The next morning, Tiehu took the 100-jin roe deer he had caught to the town to sell. This time, Tie Kui didn't follow.

Early in the morning, Tie Kui ran to the fields. After returning, he said to Chunni: "Second sister, if you don't plant anything on this uncultivated acre of land, it will be a waste. You first plant pumpkins, winter melons and other things, which are not demanding on the land." I can gain something.

Chunni thinks this idea is very good: "Tomorrow, I will go to grow pumpkins with my eldest sister." Although I am tired of eating pumpkins, it is always like leaving the land empty.

When Jin found out, she became unhappy: "Kuizi, these are women's affairs, and you shouldn't take care of them."

It's just that it's not enough to make an opinion, Tie Kui said very speechlessly: "Mother, I'm going to find Dad." Now he has a headache when he sees Jin, and he doesn't want to stay with her to talk.
