Chapter 3209 Tang Yuan Yuan Extra (9)

"Aunt Dazhu, how long will Tiedan's family stay this time?" someone asked.
Tiedan's father's name is Niu Dazhu. Villagers usually don't call Tiedan's mother by her name, and many people don't even know her name. The elders call her Dazhu's, and the younger generations call her aunt, prefixing her husband's or grandchildren's name.
Most of the people in the village gathered under the old elm tree at the entrance of the village. They were basically the elderly, the weak, women and children. Most of the strong laborers went to work in the city, leaving the elderly and children at home. There were not many young women. The diligent ones went out to make money. Those who stayed were either lazy women or those who couldn't leave because they needed to take care of the elderly and children at home.
Most of the women were lazy women. They had nothing to do after eating, so they went from house to house and chatted. They spread the gossip in the village. They were also the destroyers of the harmony, stability and unity of the village. They talked about the gossip of the neighbors. It was not a big deal, but it became distorted after being spread through their mouths. In the mild case, the couple quarreled, and in the severe case, they divorced and even broke up the family.
The destructive power of gossips should not be underestimated, and almost every village has one or two gossips, the kind that only wants to cause chaos. The woman who is asking Tiedan Niang is the famous gossip of the village, Juying Sao.
Juying Sao is lazy, mean, and likes to take advantage of others. Her greatest pleasure every day is to wander around the village with a bag of melon seeds, inquire about fresh gossip, and spread some gossip, which is also the spiritual food of the villagers.
Tiedan's mother narrowed her eyes and said cheerfully, "We'll stay for a month."
"No wonder you and my uncle Dazhu stuffed so many sausages, it's more lively than the New Year. Tiedan's wife is coming too?"
"With the whole family coming, my meat pie must have grown taller, and there are also small meat buns. Oh, I miss them so much." Tiedan's mother looked up at the sky. The sun had already set. She couldn't help but said anxiously, "Why haven't they arrived yet? Nothing happened, right? Tiefu Tiegui, go and take a look!"
Tiefu Tiegui is Tiedan's eldest and second brothers. They look about the same as Tiedan, but they look older. Their demeanor is naturally not comparable to Tiedan's. Tiedan, who has been working independently outside for many years, is still stupid, but he is also a person who has seen the world, so his demeanor is naturally stronger than that of ordinary people.
"Here they are. Two cars are coming. No, they are for transporting goods. They are covered with canvas. They don't look like Tiedan's." A villager standing on the slope saw two cars coming in from a distance.
"It must be Tiedan. What trucks can there be in our village? Maybe Tiedan brought a truckload of treasures back to honor my uncle Dazhu and aunt!" Sister Juying flattered.
Others followed suit, and a bunch of flattery came to Tiedan's parents, who were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling.
"My Tiedan is filial. He is afraid that his father and I don't have enough money to spend, so he sends a lot of money back every month. Why do we need to spend so much money?" Tiedan's mother was very proud. Her family used to be the poorest. Because there were many children, everyone had food, especially Tiedan, who ate as much as five or six people.
Although her family had many strong laborers, in that era, you couldn't earn food just by being strong. Tiedan alone ate the family into poverty, and the whole family was hungry. Many people asked her to throw Tiedan away, saying that she couldn't let him drag down the whole family.
At that time, the family had not yet split up and the whole family was eating together. Niu Dazhu's brothers were full of complaints and were the loudest. They even took Tiedan to the mountains while she and Dazhu were working in the fields. Fortunately, the child was lucky, as he wandered around in the mountains for most of the day and was not taken away by the wolves.
