Tie Kui Extra Story (108)

For Duan Honglang's first seven, Hongbo didn't come, but Mrs. Fu brought the child. Waiting for Duan Honglang's Qiqi, not to mention Hongbo, even the Fu family did not show up.

That night, Duan Dongzi said to Chunni: "Tomorrow we will go back to the county."

Chunila didn't want to lose face: "He doesn't want me as a mother, so I will beg him."

Duan Dongzi said helplessly: "Could it be that you don't even care about your father? Or do you still hate the fact that your father slapped you?"

Chunni was silent for a while and said: "I want to go back to you, but I won't go back." She didn't hate Tiehu, it was her own father. It's just that I can't get over the hurdle in my heart.

Duan Dongzi's persuasion was useless. No choice but to stay in Duanjia Village with Chunni in the end.

By the middle of the twelfth lunar month, Hongbo and Fu didn't show their faces, let alone come to pick them up to go back to the county for the New Year.

Chunni ran out every day when she heard movement outside, but it turned out that they were all passers-by.

Duan Dongzi looked at her like this, and couldn't help but said, "Why be stubborn, let's go back tomorrow!"

"I'm going to see if he really left us alone." When she said this, Chuni burst into tears.

Duan Dongzi couldn't help it either. He entrusted someone to bring a letter to Hongbo, asking him to pick them up and bring them back to the county seat.

There is no such thing as a perfect parent. Besides, Chunni only favored Duan Honglang later, and she treated her three sons equally in the past. After more than two months, Hongbo's anger disappeared.

After returning home, Hong Bo said to Tie Hu: "Grandfather, Dad wants me to go to Duanjia Village to pick him and his mother back. Grandfather, I will pick them up tomorrow."

Tie Hu said: "It's not that she has no feet. If she wants to come back, she can't come back by herself." Fortunately, the son-in-law has a generous temperament, otherwise Chunni's temper would be unbearable.

"Grandfather, Mother may not be able to lose face."

Tie Huyu said: "Hongbo, I know you are filial. But if you want to have a peaceful life in the future, just listen to me. If you bow your head this time, your mother will not change." Only let Chunni know that she is afraid. , you will have scruples about acting in the future.

Hongbo knew that Tiehu was there for him, but he still said, "Then let my parents celebrate the New Year in Duanjia Village? Grandfather, if I leave my parents behind to celebrate the New Year in the countryside, it will not be good for me if my colleagues know about it." Being an official reputation is very important. The reputation is bad, and this official has done his best.

Tiehu said: "It's simple,

This year we will go back to Tiejia Village for the New Year. I haven't been back for many years, and I don't know what happened to the old folks in the village. "

Hong Bo thinks this is a good idea, parents should be filial, but when grandfather is old, he should take care of him first. Colleagues know, and there will be no gossip.

Back in her room, she told Mrs. Fu about it: "You send someone to send a New Year's gift to Duanjia Village, and then clean up the house in Tiejia Village."

Three days before the Chinese New Year, Tiehu took Hongbo's family of seven back to Tiejia Village.

In the previous dynasty, the day before the previous year was a holiday. However, Yuxi changed this custom, and began to have a holiday three days before the first year. Take a six-day vacation, and return to work on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.

Back in Tiejia Village, someone asked Chunni and Duan Dongzi why they didn't come back. Tie Hu said that the two couldn't let go of Duan Honglang's three children, so they celebrated the New Year in Duanjia Village.

Although everyone guessed that there was an inside story, no one was stupid enough to ask.

Seeing that Hongbo put away his smile after returning to the house, Mrs. Fu knew that he couldn't let Chunni and Duan Dongzi go: "Sir, after the Lantern Festival, we will pick up our parents." Duan Honglang is dead, and so is Awang. A sensible boy. She felt that there should be no more troubles in the future.

Hong Bo shook his head and said, "Grandfather won't let it go. Grandfather is getting old, so let him do what he wants! If you don't make him angry, uncle won't let me go."

"But neither grandfather nor parents bowed their heads. It's difficult for you to be caught in the middle."

Hongbo smiled and said: "Grandfather is also for me. Honglang has already gone, and we must take care of the marriage of Awang and Acai's siblings in the future. Grandfather is worried that if their marriage is unsatisfactory, mother will be in trouble again." I have to blame this incident on me. So he wants to use this incident to force his mother not to interfere in the family affairs." The idea is good, but I am afraid that her mother will not bow her head.

Mrs. Fu said softly: "Fortunately, I have a grandfather." Tie Hu's presence saved them countless troubles.

"So we have to be filial to his old man." Tiehu is their family's treasure. As long as he is around, the family will get better and better.

Although they missed Chunni and Duan Dongzi, Hongbo and Fu didn't reveal anything in front of Tiehu. On New Year's Eve, the family had a lively New Year's Eve dinner.

As for Chunni, she was crying as she looked at the large bowl of dumplings on the table.

Duan Dongzi asked the children to eat: "Your grandmother misses your father and feels sad. You eat first and leave her alone."

After the three Awang brothers and sisters finished eating, they went back to their room.

Duan Dongzi scooped up another bowl of dumplings from the pot and brought them up: "At least eat some."

Chunni wiped her tears and said: "I can't eat it. Hongbo, he is so cruel that he doesn't care about us."

Duan Dongzi put down the bowl and chopsticks, and said, "What you said that day hurt Boer's heart. Chunni, you have been too harsh on Hongbo these years. Chunni, if you don't change, we will really lose This son."

Chunni wiped her tears and said: "Hongbo has a salary as an official, and the shop has thousands of taels of handicraft every year. Why can't it work for him to help Honglang?"

Duan Dongzi paused, and asked back: "If I used the family money to buy fields and land for my second brother, would you be willing?"

Chunni understood what Duan Dongzi was going to say: "But they are brothers. Brothers, they should help each other."

Duan Dongzi smiled bitterly and said: "My second brother is grateful for my kindness to him. Every year during the busy farming season, he would bring his sister-in-law to help. But what has Duan Honglang done for Hongbo in these years?"

Not only is there no good word to say, but every time Hongbo is mentioned, he is swearing.

Duan Dongzi said: "Chunni, although Hongbo and Honglang are blood brothers, they are two families after the family separation. Just like when I came to Duan's house, even though I knew that my second brother had no land and no land, I was suffering. I never said that I would give him money to buy fields and land. At most, I would help them when they were in trouble. But if you look at Hongbo, you know that we didn’t say anything about buying a house for Honglang, and later he returned it to Honglang. Buy fields, buy land and build a house. Hongbo is enough to do this. If you want to be more demanding, it will be too partial." He told Chuni many times before that Hongbo can't live well, just because Hongbo is doing well. Ask him to subsidize and help Hong Lang endlessly. Unfortunately, Chunni never listened to it.

Chunni burst into tears: "Hong Lang has already left, so there is no point in talking about it."

"Hong Lang is gone, but we have to live on. Are you really going to stay in Duanjia Village forever?" Even if Chunni wanted to, he didn't want to. He also has two sons, and both of them are very filial, so why live with his grandson.

Chunni wanted to go back, but felt that going back like this was too embarrassing.

Duan Dongzi said: "In two days, we will go back."

Chunni didn't object, but said, "What about Awang and the others? Let them go with us!"

Duan Dongzi stared at Chunni and said: "I just told you, you didn't listen to a word of love? They have separated, do you still want Hongbo to support their three brothers and sisters? Besides, Awang Ah Cai has grown up and is able to support himself, what is the matter with you taking them back to the county?"

"The child is too young, I can't worry about it."

Duan Dongzi said: "If you are worried, don't go back to the county seat, stay in Duanjia Village!"

After a few days, Hongbo did not come to pick up the couple. Chunni couldn't help it now, and followed Duan Dongzi back to the county.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Tie Hu leaning on the bench and basking in the sun. That appearance is indescribably leisurely.

Seeing the husband and wife, Tiehu looked indifferent.

Chun Ni said: "Dad, I was only talking nonsense when I was confused. Dad, don't be angry."

Tiehu looked at Chunni and said, "Nizi, I don't have a few years to live, so don't bother me to live these few years in peace, okay?"

Chun Ni looked at her white-haired father, feeling unbearably guilty: "Father, I'm sorry, it's my daughter who is unfilial."

That is, the biological daughter, if the daughter-in-law would have been kicked out a long time ago, it would be pure if she was out of sight. Tie Hu said: "You are not allowed to meddle in the affairs of the three Awang brothers and sisters, or other family affairs. If you can do it, stay here. If you can't, go back to Tiejia Village."

Chunni no longer dared to object.

Before the Lantern Festival, Hongbo took the initiative to say to Tiehu: "Grandfather, I want to take the three brothers and sisters of Awang to the county to spend the Lantern Festival together. Otherwise, the villagers think we don't care about them." One thing is that he will be gossiped In addition, if the villagers of Duanjia Village think that they don't care how many children are bullying them, then it is wrong.

Tiehu nodded and said: "Awang has already paid homage to his teacher, so I don't worry about his future. Now there is only Acai left, so I can't let this kid spend his whole life digging in the ground. Hongbo, see if you can Find him an errand in the county?" Although he hated Duan Honglang very much, he still liked the sensible Awang and the hardworking Acai. These two children don't look like his parents.

Speaking of the names of the two children, Tie Hu shook his head. He actually gave the two children Ngawang Ahcai, for fear that others would not know that they wanted to get rich.

Hongbo expressed his thoughts: "I am going to find a job for Ah Cai in the Yamen. If there is a serious job, we can talk about marriage in the future." Ah Wang has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he is also tall. up. But Ah Cai is not only thin and short, he is a head shorter than his peers. If the conditions are not good, it will be difficult to talk about a good marriage in the future.

Tie Hu hummed and said, "With an errand, plus the fields in the countryside, it's no problem to support the family." Just make sure they don't have to worry about their livelihood. If you want to live a good life, you have to rely on yourself.

After a pause, Tie Hu said: "Hongbo, you write to Honglin and tell him that your parents will return to Tongcheng after spring begins."

Hongbo was stunned: "Grandfather, what Kanniang means is that she doesn't want to go back to Tongcheng again."

"I can't believe your mother's promise. Let her go to Tongcheng, what if she stays and makes troubles again?" When he is old, he likes a family and Lele, not every day.

Hongbo was silent.
