Tie Kui Extra Story (21)

Tie Kui put on his leather boots and ear muffs, wrapped himself up tightly and walked out the door.

Chunni said with a bitter face: "Father, can you stop letting Brother go out?" It was snowing heavily outside, and Brother always went out to hunt, which made her very worried.

Tie Hu smiled and said, "Your younger brother has always done things properly, so you don't have to worry about him."

"Father, our family has a house and a field, and your legs are fine now, so there is no burden for the family. What are you doing so hard?" Doctor 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 taking the medicine.

Tie Hu's expression froze, and then he joked: "Your brother also wants to pay more compliments, so that I can buy a generous dowry for you." When Kui Zi becomes an adult, he is afraid that he will leave.

During this period of time, every time I think of this Tiehu, I feel very sad, but he can't stop Tie Kui. This child is burdened with too many things, it's fine if he can't help, and he must not hold this child back.

Chunni said with a grim expression, "I don't want the dowry my brother bought for me. Father, many girls in the village get married and don't even 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 leg recovered, many people have been matchmakers for Chunxiang and Chunni sisters. The family conditions that Chunxiang told were not good, and Tiehu had other plans for Chunni's marriage. Therefore, the marriage between the two sisters is still pending.

Tiehu smiled and said, "Father was just joking with you. You also know that Kuizi has been right since he was a child, and I can't stop him from doing what he wants to do."

Chunni hummed and said nothing.

In a blink of an eye, Laba was said, and every family started to cook Laba porridge. At this time last year, neither of the sisters was in the mood to do it. This year, it was prepared early.

The two sisters were cooking Laba porridge when they heard a knock on the door. Chunni washed her hands, took off her bib and went out to open the door.

Seeing the person standing outside the door, Chunni's face immediately sank: "If you are sensible, get out, today is a good day, I don't want to hit you with a broom."

"Sister, I'm here to find Kuizi." Seeing Chunni running to get the broom, Shao Lili hurriedly said: "Sister, I have an appointment with Kuizi, and I will come to him after the matter is finished?"

If you want to lie, you don't have to make up such a low-level excuse. But Chunni still asked back: "Really?"

"As soon as you ask Kuizi about this, you will know the truth." As soon as the family matter was resolved, he came over.

Chunni said: "Kuizi has gone out,

I won't be back until noon. Since you are looking for him, then wait outside! "After finishing speaking, the door was closed.

Shao Lili looked at the closed door and smiled wryly. His future sister-in-law is really amazing.

Chunxiang asked, "Who is it?"

"Sister-in-law Wang next door said she didn't have salt at home and wanted to borrow it, but I refused." Sister-in-law Wang next door either borrowed salt or rice, and at first she didn't know her virtuous sisters borrowed it. Later, when she saw that she borrowed it and didn't return it, she came to borrow it again, so Chunni stopped borrowing it.

Chunxiang didn't doubt that he was there, so she continued cooking porridge.

Fortunately, Tie Kui was also thinking about Laba today, so he returned after going around a few traps he had set up. At the door of the house, I saw Shao Lili circling in circles.

Seeing Tie Kui carrying two pheasants, Shao Lili yelled happily: "Brother Kui..."

Tie Kui hummed and said, "Wait for me a moment." After speaking, he went to push the door, and when he couldn't push it, he yelled loudly.

Chunni opened the door, looked at Shao Li with disgust and said, "Brother, he said he came to see you, and said he had an appointment with you before."

Tie Kui hummed, handed the two pheasants in his hand to Chun Ni and said, "Second Sister, let's eat hot pot tonight."

"Okay." The three siblings, like hot pot in cold weather the most. After eating, the whole body is warm.

Tie Kui turned around and said to Shao Lili: "If you have something to say, let's talk outside."

When he reached the entrance of the village, Tie Kui asked, "What do you want me for?"

"Our family has already separated." Seeing Tie Kui's indifferent expression, Shao Li said: "The house and fields of the family have been given to my elder brother and younger brother, and I don't want anything."

Tie Kui chuckled lightly and said, "It's like you've been kicked out."

Shao Lili 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 head and the patriarch that I didn't divide my property, and I don't need to support them in the future." Er Lao."

"Then what are you going to marry my eldest sister? You can't let my sister sleep on the street with you?" He believed that Shao Lili could earn food and clothing, but he didn't have a house where he could live after getting married.

Shao Lili said: "Don't worry, I have saved a sum of money and can buy two houses in the county. But after buying the house, I don't have any money on hand. If I want to get married, it will not be until the end of next year." One year is enough to save money for marriage.

Tie Kui was very satisfied with the result: "After you buy the house, invite a matchmaker to come to my house to propose marriage!"

Shao Lili was overjoyed: "Can I meet Chunxiang?"

"I'll let you guys meet again after we're engaged." Seeing Shao Lili's disappointed face, Tie Kui said, "Not less than a month away."

After returning home, Tie Kui told Tie Hu about this: "Father, Second Brother Shao really likes Eldest Sister. As the saying goes, it is easy to find priceless treasures but rare to have a lover, so let them be fulfilled!"

Tiehu frowned and said, "How did they divide the family?" If some improper means were used to divide the family, no matter what, they would not be able to marry their daughter to him.

Tie Kui has always been concerned about the situation of the Shao family. After the incident between Shao Lixing and the widow came out, Shao Lixing didn't take the money back home, and Mrs. Shao didn't want to support her uncle anymore. The Shao family was in a commotion. 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 to sue Shao Lixing.

The money saved by Shao's mother was almost used by Shao Lixing. To preserve Shao Lixing's future and reputation, the only way is to sell the fields and land to raise money. It's a pity that not to mention Brother Shao and his wife, even Shao's father disagrees.

Tie Kui guessed that the Shao family would split up, but he thought it would be after the Chinese New Year. Unexpectedly, the Shao family is now separated.

Tie Kui said: "Second brother Shao's father said in front of the village head and the patriarch that he didn't share his house and land, and he would not want him to support him in the future."

As long as the family separation has nothing to do with Shao Lili, Tie Hu will have nothing to worry about: "It's best for him to let Shao's father and mother know about this matter. Otherwise, when the parents are not present when they get married, what will it look like?"

Tie Kui hummed and said, "I'll tell him when the time comes." Shao's father saw that his youngest son was not making progress, so he hurriedly divided the family, which shows that he is still a clear person. Second brother Shao got married, he will definitely be there. As for Shao's mother, that's not necessarily the case.

"Father, don't tell Eldest Sister about this beforehand. Tell her about it after the matchmaker comes." If he told Chunxiang now that something went wrong, he was afraid that Chunxiang would not be able to bear the blow.

Two days before the Chinese New Year, Tie Kui carried a deer weighing more than 20 kilograms from the mountain.

Seeing this deer, Chunni smiled and said, "Our Kuizi is getting more and more capable, and we won't have to worry about no meat in the future." Tie Kui started hunting in the mountains after autumn, and he didn't hunt any big wild animals, but pheasants These hares hit a lot.

"Second sister, don't worry, I will guarantee that you will eat meat every day in the future, until you don't want to eat any more."

Chunni laughed loudly: "I'm looking forward to this day."

After the Lantern Festival, Shao Lili came to Tie Kui. After showing him the house deed, Shao Lili said, "I'll ask Matchmaker Chen to come to your house to propose marriage later."

Tie Kui said: "Second brother Shao, my father is worried that you will marry my eldest sister, and your parents will not attend the wedding." When a son is married, it will be ugly if the parents do not show up at the wedding.

Shao Lili smiled and said, "Don't worry about that, I've already told my father and brothers that I want to marry Chunxiang, and they didn't object, and they even told me to do the marriage at home."

The Shao family split up, and Shao Lili had nothing. No matter how married, it's not as popular as before.

"It's fine to have a wedding at your house, but the furniture has to be sent directly to the county." He didn't worry about Shao's mother, who was so biased that she lost her mind. If she saw her sister's dowry and wanted to keep it for herself, it would be another troublesome matter.

Shao Lili naturally had no objection.

On the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, Matchmaker Chen came to her door to say goodbye. Because the breath had already been ventilated, the Tie family did not pretend to agree.

When others asked about this, the members of the Tie family all said that they were moved by Shao Lili's sincerity. By the way, he also told about Shao Lili buying a house in the county. Although there are only two houses, it is enough to make the villagers envious.

But he didn't know that Shao's mother was so angry that he scolded him for being unfilial because of buying a house.

When the marriage is settled, the man will give the dowry. Originally thought that Shao Lili had no money to buy a house, and the bride price would be very poor. But I didn't expect that besides the gift cake, chicken, duck, fish wine and other things, I also gave two taels of silver.

Tie Hu looked at the money in the red envelope and said, "This kid has quite a lot of private houses."

Tie Kui smiled: "Father, I guess the money for this dowry should be borrowed. However, it is considered intentional." These things add up to four or five taels of silver, not as much as before. But it was all bought by Shao Lili with his heart, and that was enough.

In fact, Tie Kui doesn't care about the amount of money, what he wants is the sincerity of the other party.

After the marriage was settled, Tie Kui said: "Eldest sister, you have a bad complexion these days, so you have to make up for it. Otherwise, Brother Shao will scare you away when he sees you like this."

Chunxiang covered her face and asked in disbelief: "Has it really become that ugly?"

"Sister, fortunately, the marriage is scheduled for the end of September. There are still nine months, and you can take care of your body." After a pause, Tie Kui said again: "Sister, you should stop working before you get married. Take some time to get whiter."

Chunxiang hesitated when she heard the words: "If I don't go to work, Chunni can't finish the work in the field by herself!"

"When you're busy, just spend money to hire people." Apart from hunting in the mountains, Tie Kui practiced at home and copied books, and rarely went to work in the fields.

It only costs 20 to 30 Wen a day to hire a person, and it costs 800 Wen to copy a book for a bookstore in the county. Instead of working hard in the fields, it is better to copy an extra book and hire someone to do it.

This proposal was unanimously approved by Tiehu and Chunni. Chun Ni said: "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 natal family must prepare a dowry. Although having that set of furniture is enough for Chunxiang to get married in a dignified way. But Tie Kui doesn't want to lose her.

On this day, Tie Kui bought pink and light yellow fabrics for Chun Xiang and Chun Ni to make new clothes for.

Chun Ni smiled and said, "Brother, it's a waste of time for me to work in the fields and wear such a good material, it's all used to make clothes for my eldest sister.

Seeing that Chunxiang disagreed, Chunni smiled and said, "Sister, you should make this clothes first and wear them after you get married. You don't have to worry about me, Kuizi will definitely buy them for me in the future." The clothes are also used as clothes. As part of the dowry, most of the new clothes are also decent for the elder sister.

Tie Kui smiled and said, "Don't worry, Second Sister, you will have what Elder Sister has." This family will belong to Chunni from now on.

Chun Ni cheerfully said, "I'm not worried." Although she was not 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 whenever there is good news. Having such a younger brother is a blessing for the two of them.

This afternoon, Matchmaker Chen came to the door again. This time I came to the door to say goodbye to Chunni.

In fact, many people are targeting Tie Kui, thinking that he is a potential stock. However, there is a habit in the farm family. The older ones cannot kiss the younger ones without proclaiming them. Therefore, Chunni's marriage has not been settled, and no one mentioned it in front of the railway.

This time, Matchmaker Chen told Chunni that the family name was Hong. The family had 20 acres of fertile land and 20 acres of dry land, and built six large tile-roofed houses with green bricks. There were two daughters and one son. The eldest daughter is married, and the younger daughter is thirteen years old and will go out in a few years.

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 good at farming. With a good temper, Nizi will not be afraid of being made things difficult by her parents-in-law after she gets married." This condition is really very good in a farm family.

Tie Hu was silent for a while and said: "I will reply to you in two days!"

"Then I'll wait for your good news." Matchmaker Chen felt that the marriage was a sure thing.

Seeing that Tiehu's face was a little heavy, Chunni asked, "Father, is it because Aunt Chen said that he is not good? Father, it's not easy to refuse." Chunni is more aggressive and cheerful, unlike Chunxiang. I am shy and timid about my own marriage.

Tie Hu shook his head and said: "No, the person your Aunt Chen said is not bad, but..." It was just a plan in his heart, and he couldn't tell Chuni before he talked to Tie Kui.

"Father, if you don't like it, just decline it. With my character and appearance and such a generous dowry, I don't have to worry about finding a good one." It's not that Chunni is particularly confident in herself, but because of her conditions, I really don't have to worry about finding a good one. No good people.

When Tiehu heard this, his heart became heavier. With such an outstanding daughter, it is difficult to find a good husband and son-in-law: "Go and see if your brother is back?"

Chunni felt that Tiehu's attitude was a bit strange, but she didn't ask any more questions, anyway, she wouldn't say, "I'll go right away."
