Tie Kui Extra Story (22)

It was dark, and Tie Kui did not come back.

Chunni was a little worried: "Father, should I send someone to look for brother!"

Tie Hu shook his head and said, "No, your younger brother is sensible, and he should be back soon." He didn't say hello that he would spend the night on the mountain, so he would definitely come back.

For Tie Kui, hunting is just a way of training himself, hunting wild animals is secondary. Therefore, I haven't slept in the wild for the time being.

After half an hour, Tie Kui brought back a roe deer.

Chunni said with a look of surprise, "This roe deer must weigh fifty or sixty catties, right?"

Tie Hu looked at it and said: "It should be more than that, it probably weighs eighty or ninety catties." This is the biggest wild animal that Tie Kui has hunted alone.

Tie Kui laughed and said, "Basically, I can't even carry it. I stopped many times on the road." He could carry things that weighed forty or fifty catties without any difficulty, but he could lift things that weighed eighty or ninety catties with some difficulty.

Tie Hu smiled and said, "Take a knife and I'll peel the skin." Since it is dead, the skin can be peeled off to make a leather.

Heavy work cannot be done, but light work such as skinning can still be done. Therefore, the three siblings did not object.

After tidying up the robe, the moon was already hanging in midair.

After Tie Kui had a set of punches in the yard, he took a shower and went to bed.

Like the people of the Tie family in the past, they only took a bath every ten days and a half months after autumn, and they used to have two meals a day. But after Tie Kui came, affected by it, he would take a bath every few days in the cold winter months, and his two meals a day became three meals. It is also because of eating well that Chunxiang and Chunni are not only tall, but also have particularly ruddy complexions. Just looking at them, you know they are doing well.

After entering the room, he found Tie Hu leaning on the bed and waiting for him: "Father, is there something wrong?"

Tie Hu hummed and said, "Matchmaker Chen came to marry Chunni this afternoon. She is an only child, and her parents-in-law are also very kind."

Tie Kui was silent. He didn't know how to say that he would leave, and then wanted Chunni to recruit a husband. No matter in the city or in the countryside, a son-in-law who is married will be looked down upon. Therefore, men with slightly better conditions will not marry unless they cannot survive. He didn't want Chunni to marry a worthless man, but it was impossible for him to stay in Tiejia Village forever.

Tiehu looked at his expression and asked: "Kuizi, tell me, what is your plan in your heart? In this way,

I also have a number in my heart. "

"Father, I'm going to enlist in the army."

Even though he is so good at studying but doesn't pay attention to it, he is diligent in practicing kung fu every day, even in Shengjing, he didn't miss a single day. Therefore, Tie Hu had already guessed in his heart that he wanted to practice martial arts.

"Kuizi, daddy keeps you, do you want to leave too?" He really didn't want Tie Kui to leave, he felt at ease when Tie Kui was around.

Tie Kui lowered his head and said, "Father, my father and brothers were murdered by treacherous ministers, and my mother and sister-in-law were killed by bandits. I have not avenged my revenge, so it is impossible to stay in Tiejia Village forever. Otherwise, a hundred years later I have no face to see my parents, brother and sister-in-law." Tie Hu was very grateful to him for saving his life. But he couldn't forget his parents' kindness in raising them.

Tiehu sighed and said, "Kuizi, since you want to leave, I can only ask Chunni to recruit a husband." Two daughters, one of them must stay by my side.

"Father, I'll tell Second Sister about this. I believe Second Sister will agree."

Tie Hu nodded and said: "Okay." He was not as good at talking as Tie Kuina, and he was afraid that it would be counterproductive to talk about it.

Tie Kui hesitated and said, "Father, the second sister is hot-tempered and capable, and can take care of the whole family. If you recruit a husband with a down-to-earth personality, you should have a good life." It is definitely impossible to stand out. But finding a man who is down-to-earth and diligent is still no problem.

"When the time comes, hold your eyes!" Tie Kui saw things clearly. Like Chunxiang's marriage, he said that the Shao family was no good, but Shao Lili was reliable. The result was exactly as he said.

After breakfast the next day, Tie Kui told Chun Ni about it.

Chunni was stunned for a moment: "Let me recruit a son-in-law? Brother, what about you? I recruit a son-in-law, what should you do?"

"Second sister, my father, mother and family were killed by treacherous officials and bandits. I want revenge. I will be drafted into the army next autumn." Tie Kui will be fifteen years old next year and meets the requirements for enlistment.

Chunni grabbed Tie Kui's arm and said, "Kui Zi, don't you know that being a soldier means going to die?" Every autumn, the government would come to recruit soldiers. Because of the wars every year, countless people died, and the common people were afraid when they heard about the conscription. Because to be a soldier means death.

Tie Kui laughed and said, "Second sister, as long as you learn the skills well, you won't die. Second sister, now the emperor is fatuous and the court is corrupt, and poor people can't get ahead in their studies. Only by killing the enemy and making meritorious service can I have a chance of revenge." In troubled times, nothing is a scholar.

Thinking of Tie Kui learning Kung Fu from his father since he went up the mountain, and now getting up to practice Kung Fu every day before dawn, Chun Ni instantly understood: "Did you have this plan before you came to my house?"

Tie Kui nodded.

"Does Dad know your plan?" Seeing Tie Kui nodding, Chun Ni's eyes were a little red: "Brother, can't you not take revenge?"

Tie Kui shook his head and said, "Second Sister, my father died of injustice. If I don't clear up his grievances, I will be a son in vain. Second Sister, it doesn't matter if you don't want to recruit a son-in-law. After I get married and give birth to my first son Let him be named Tie."

Chun Ni shook her head and said, "It's not going to happen. If you leave, the incense of the Tie family will be cut off. And I'm going to get married too, what will Dad do in the future?" Dad became a widower for their sisters, and she How can I have the heart to let daddy be alone in the future.

Tie Kui said with some guilt: "Second Sister, I'm sorry."

Chunni laughed and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? You didn't feel sorry for me. On the contrary, my eldest sister and I got your favor. Since you came to our house, my eldest sister and I seem to have fallen into a honeypot."

When Matchmaker Chen heard Tiehu's reasons for refusing to marry, she thought she had heard it wrong: "What? Are you going to ask Chunni to recruit a son-in-law? It's not like you don't have a son, so let Chunni recruit a son-in-law."

Tiehu smiled wryly and said, "Kuizi said that he will go out for two years, and he may not come back for ten or eight years. Sister-in-law Chen, please help me reject the Hong family! In addition, please help my Chunni find a Good husband."

After all, Matchmaker Chen walked the streets and alleys, and she has a lot of knowledge. Although she didn't know what was going on with the Tie family, she still said: "Brother, you have to think clearly, it's no problem to find a good family with Chunni's character and appearance. But if Chunni is asked to recruit a husband, and your family is still If you have a son, it’s hard to find someone who suits you.”

Tie Hu said: "Since we are recruiting a son-in-law, the family's house and fields will naturally be given to Chunni."

Matchmaker Chen was a little confused: "Then what about your Kuizi?" She has been a matchmaker for so many years, and this is the first time she heard that the second daughter was given all the family property to her to find a husband, and the son left nothing.

Tie Hu smiled and said: "My Kuizi is very capable, so I don't worry about not being able to earn the money to marry a wife."

After a pause, Tie Hu said: "My Kuizi is capable of both literature and martial arts, and he will definitely earn a fortune when he goes out and goes out in the future."

Matchmaker Chen asked: "Brother, tell me the truth, are you angry or have you thought about it for a long time?" If you are angry, when she releases the news, there will be no one inside or outside.

"When Kuizi was eight years old, he said that when he was sixteen years old, he would go out and venture outside. He didn't say no before because he wanted to change his mind." After speaking, Tiehu sighed and said, "It's a pity that this kid is so stubborn. I don’t change my mind. If he goes out to wander around and doesn’t come back for ten and a half years, then I will be the only old widowed old man. So, I want Chunni to recruit a son-in-law.”

Matchmaker Chen said, "The house and the fields are given to Chunni. Is this Kuizi's promise?"

Tie Hu hummed and said: "I originally meant to give Chunni the house, and half of Tian Tian and her sister and brother. But this child is dead or alive, and he told me to give it all to Chunni. He will earn a fortune in the future." .”

Looking at Tie Hu's appearance, Matchmaker Chen knew that what he said was true. Before, I thought Tiehu was lucky to have such a good son. Now it seems that it may not be a good thing for a son to be too assertive and capable.

"Big brother, I'll help you go back to the Hong family. As for Chunni's recruiting a son-in-law, you should try to persuade Kuizi." After all, it's not a trivial matter, and it's hard to change your mind once word gets out.

Tie Hu shook his head and said: "This kid is stubborn, if he could be persuaded, he would have been persuaded. But in the past few years, I don't know how many times I have told him, but he still doesn't change his mind."

Only then did Matchmaker Chen ask: "Then what kind of person do you want to recruit for Chunni?" With a family background like the Tie family and Chunni's appearance, it is possible to recruit a son-in-law with good qualifications.

"As long as the other party is down-to-earth and hard-working. We don't pick anything else." If the conditions are good, it is impossible for someone to be a door-to-door son-in-law.

When Tie Kui came back from the outside, he happened to hear this, opened the curtain and walked in: "Hello, Aunt Chen."

Matchmaker Chen glanced at Tie Kui and said, "This kid is capable." The half-grown child actually supported the family. However, because I was too patient, my heart became bigger. It's not that easy to go outside to discuss life.

Tie Kui smiled and said, "Aunt Chen, the person I'm looking for for my second sister should not only be down-to-earth, hardworking, but also decent-looking and not too short. At least, he must be half a head taller than my sister."

Matchmaker Chen didn't answer and asked instead: "Your father said that it was your idea to give the house and land to your second sister. Is this true or not?"

Tie Kui laughed and said: "When I was in Shengjing, the shopkeeper of the Yongsheng Commercial Bank asked me to be a guard, twenty taels of silver a month. This is the monthly salary of newcomers, and the old people among them get more than sixty taels of silver a month."

When Matchmaker Chen heard this, her heart jumped into her throat. Twenty taels a month, and two hundred and forty taels a year. This child, no wonder he doesn't want to stay at home. Planing food in the field may not earn twenty taels of silver in a year.

Tie Kui said: "My house and fields add up to less than two hundred taels of silver. I can earn this money in a year." He meant that there was nothing worth thinking about at home.

He said this on purpose to convince Matchmaker Chen that he really doesn't care about the family property.

After Matchmaker Chen left, Tie Hu asked: "The shopkeeper Bai, did you really hire you as a guard?" He didn't know about this before.

Tie Kui hummed and said: "I rejected it." His ambition is to make contributions and then take revenge. As a guard of a commercial firm, he will never be able to take revenge for the rest of his life.

The news that Chunni wanted to recruit a son-in-law quickly spread throughout the country. After confirming that this was true and not a rumor, the village chief went to Tie's house and scolded Tiehu himself: "It's not like you don't have a son, what kind of son-in-law do you want Chunni to recruit?"

In front of the village chief, Tie Hu had nothing to hide: "Kuizi is going to be drafted into the army next fall. Grandpa Nine, so many people die in wars every year. Even if Kuizi is lucky, let him get an official position, but then It will be more than ten years later. At that time, I may not be around anymore. Since I can’t be relied on, I might as well let Chunni recruit a husband. At least, I won’t die at home and no one will know.” These belong to Tie Hu from the bottom of my heart.

The village head said: "Kuizi is the only son, why should he join the army?" The court has laws, and single women are not required to serve in the army. Of course, even if the only son is rich, he can be exempted from military service by giving twenty taels of silver. However, few farmers can afford such a large sum of money.

"This child said that a good man should make contributions in this world, otherwise his life would be in vain. If the child has this ambition, if I force him to stay in Tiejia Village, he will hate me for the rest of his life." The problem is that he wants to force Tie Kui to stay. No position. If he had his own son, even if he broke his leg, he didn't want him to die. Unfortunately, Tie Kui is not his biological son.

The village chief thought that Tie Kui might be seeing the outside world, so he didn't want to stay in the country: "Even so, you can't give Chuni all the things in the house. Don't say anything else, when the child comes back later, where will he live?" What about it?" The family business is all for his son, so Tiehu's actions are completely reckless.

Tie Hu said: "Kui Zi said that after he makes money, let me buy a homestead in the village and build him a house. When he gets old and goes home to take care of himself, he will have a place to stay." Hearing this, you will know that Tie Hu In the future, Kui will recognize his ancestors and return to his clan. Therefore, Tie Kui agreed to give all the family property to Chun Ni.

Thinking of Kuizi's ability, the village chief didn't say any more. My heart has already flown outside, and I can't pull it. And Tie Kui didn't want to go out suddenly because of a sudden fever, this kid acted prudently and thoughtfully. Now that the decision has been made, it must be the result of careful consideration: "What kind of homestead to buy, I will just approve a piece of it when the time comes."

Originally, someone would come to Chuni's door every now and then to propose marriage, but the Tie family became quite deserted when the matter of recruiting a son-in-law was released.

Tiehu was afraid that Chunni would be sad, but he didn't expect her to think about it: "Father, I have thought about it for a few days and think it's good to recruit a son-in-law. I don't have to worry about my mother-in-law making trouble for my sister-in-law when I recruit a son-in-law at home." It’s hard to get along with sisters-in-law.” Most of the married girls in the village have been rubbed by their mother-in-law. For some, life is as bitter as soaking in yellow lotus. Moreover, her eldest sister's mother-in-law is also mean. Fortunately, they don't have to live together, otherwise they wouldn't be able to live this day.

Recruiting a son-in-law means that she is the one who is in charge of the house. Thinking about it, Chunni thinks it's pretty good.

After hearing this, the guilt in Tiehu's heart dissipated a lot.
