Hongbo didn't come to Duan Honglang's first seven, but Fu came with his children. Waiting for Duan Honglang's Qiqi, not to mention Hongbo or Fu, he didn't show up.

That night, Duan Dongzi said to Chunni, "tomorrow we'll go back to the county."

Chunni couldn't save face: "since he doesn't want me, I'll ask him."

Duan Dongzi said helplessly: "don't you even care about your father? Or do you resent that Dad slapped you? "

Chunni was silent and said, "if I want you back, I won't go back." She didn't hate Iron Tiger. It was her father. Just, can't go through the heart.

Duan Dongzi's hard advice is useless. Can't, finally can only stay in Duanjia village with Chunni.

By the middle of December, Hongbo and Fu's face had not been exposed, let alone to take them back to the county for the new year.

Every day, Chunni heard something moving outside and ran out to see. As a result, she was all passers-by.

Duan Dongzi looked at her like this and couldn't help saying: "why be stubborn? Let's go back tomorrow!"

"I'll see if he really leaves us." When she said this, Chunni burst into tears.

Duan Dongzi can't do it any more. Entrusted a person to Hongbo with a letter, let him pick up two people back to the county.

The world is full of parents. In addition, Chunni was only partial to Duan Honglang later, and used to treat her three sons equally. Over the past two months, Hongbo's anger has also subsided.

When he got home, Hongbo and Tiehu said, "grandfather, my father wants me to go to Duanjia village to meet him and his mother. Grandfather, I'll pick them up tomorrow. "

Iron Tiger said: "she is not without feet, to come back can not come back." Fortunately, my son-in-law is generous. If not, who can bear Chunni's temperament.

"Grandfather, mother may not be able to save face."

Iron Tiger language said: "Hongbo, I know you are filial. But if you want to live in peace in the future, just listen to me. If you bow your head this time, your mother will not change it. " Only let Chunni know fear, later act will have scruples.

Hongbo knew that iron tiger was for him, but he still said, "let's let our parents spend the new year in Duanjia village? Grandfather, if I leave my parents to spend the new year in the countryside, my colleagues will know that it will have a bad influence on me. " Reputation is very important for an official. When his reputation is bad, the 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 some old fellows in the village. "

Hongbo thinks this method is very good. His parents should be filial, but when his grandfather is old, he should be considered first. Colleagues know, there will be no gossip.

Back in her room, she told Fu, "send someone to send a new year's gift to Duanjia village, and then tidy up the house in Tiejia village."

Three days before the new year, Tiehu took Hongbo's family of seven back to Tiejia village.

In the former dynasty, it was a holiday the day before the year. However, Yuxi changed the custom and began to have a holiday three days ago. He took six days off and returned to work on the fourth day of the lunar new year.

Back to Tiejia village, people asked Chunni and Duan Dongzi that they didn't come back. Tiehu said that they couldn't give up Duan Honglang's three children, so they spent the new year in Duanjia village.

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

Looking at Hongbo's smile when he came back to the house, Fu knew that he couldn't let Chunni and Duan Dongzi go: "Xianggong, after the Lantern Festival, we went to pick up our parents." Duan Honglang is dead, and a Wang is a sensible boy. She felt that there should be no more trouble in the future.

Hongbo shook his head and said, "my grandfather won't let me. My grandfather is old, so I'd better follow his wishes! If not, my uncle will not spare me. "

"But my grandfather and my parents don't bow their heads. You are in a dilemma."

Hongbo said with a smile: "grandfather, he is also for me. Honglang has already gone. In the future, we will be in charge of the marriage of a Wang and a CAI. My grandfather worried that if they didn't get along well after their marriage, my mother would blame me for it. So he wanted to take advantage of this time to force his mother to stop meddling in the family affairs. " If the idea is good, I'm afraid her mother won't bow her head.

Fu said softly, "fortunately, there is a grandfather." Iron Tiger in, give them don't know how many things saved.

"So we have to be filial to him." Iron Tiger is the treasure of their family. As long as he is there, the family will be better and better.

Although miss Chunni and Duan Dongzi, Hongbo and Fu didn't show half a cent in front of Tiehu. On New Year's Eve, the whole family had a big dinner.

And Chunni, at this time, is looking at a large basin of dumplings on the table, straight tears.

Duan Dongzi called several children to eat: "your grandmother missed your father, and she was sad. You eat first and leave her alone. "

After eating, they went back to their room.

Duan Dongzi went to the pot to scoop up a bowl of dumplings and brought them up: "at least eat a little."

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

Duan Dongzi put down the chopsticks and said, "you hurt Bo Er's heart when you said that. Chunni, you've been too hard on Hongbo these years. Chunni, if you don't change, we will lose this son. "

Chunni wiped her tears and said, "Hongbo has a salary as an official, and the shop has more than 1000 taels of craftsmanship every year. Why can't he help Honglang?"

Duan Dongzi stopped and asked: "if I used to buy land for my second brother with my family's money, would you like to?"

Chunni understood what Duan Dongzi wanted to say: "but they are brothers. Brothers should help each other. "

Duan Dongzi said with a bitter smile: "my second brother is grateful for my kindness to him. Every year, he brings his sister-in-law to help him during the busy farming season. But what has Duan Honglang done for Hongbo these years? "

Not only is there not a good word, but every time I mention Hongbo, I swear.

Duan Dongzi said, "Chunni, although Hongbo and Honglang are brothers, they will be two families after their separation. For example, when I arrived at Duan's home, even though I knew that my second brother had a hard life without land and farmland, I never said that I would take money to buy land for him. The most important thing is to help them when they are in trouble. But if you look at Hongbo, you know we didn't say anything about buying Honglang a house. Later, he bought Honglang land to build a house. Hongbo has done enough to do this. If you want to be more demanding, you will be too eccentric. " He had told Chunni many times before that he couldn't ask Hongbo to help Honglang endlessly just because he had a good life. Unfortunately, Chunni never heard of it.

Chunni's tears came down: "Honglang has gone. Besides, it's meaningless."

"Honglang is gone, but we have to live on. Are you really going to stay in Duanjia village for the rest of your life? " Even if Chunni wanted to, he didn't want to. He also has two sons, and both of them are very filial. Why do they live with their grandchildren.

Chunni wanted to go back, but she thought it was too embarrassing to go back.

Duan Dongzi said, "we'll go back in two days."

Chunni didn't object, but said, "what do they do with Awang? Let them go with us

Duan Dongzi stares at Chunni and says, "what I just told you, you didn't listen to a word of emotion? They have separated. Do you want Hongbo to keep their brother and sister? What's more, a Wang and a CAI have grown up to be self reliant. What's the matter with you taking them back to the county? "

"I can't rest assured that the child is too young."

Duan Dongzi said: "if you don't worry, don't go back to the county. You'd better stay in Duanjia village."

After a few days, Hongbo did not come to pick up the couple. Chunni can't help but follow Duan Dongzi back to the county.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw the Iron Tiger leaning on the bench to bask in the sun. That look, unspeakable leisure.

See husband and wife two people, Iron Tiger look light.

Chunni said: "Dad, I was confused at that time. Don't be angry, Dad

Iron Tiger looked at Chunni and said, "Nizi, I don't have many years to live. Don't let me spend these years peacefully, OK?"

Chunni looked at her father with white hair and felt guilty: "Dad, I'm sorry, it's my daughter who is unfilial."

That is to say, if the daughter-in-law had been out of the house for a long time, her eyes would have been clear. Tiehu said: "no matter it's about the three brothers and sisters, or other things in the family, you are not allowed to interfere. If you can, stay. If you can't, go back to Tiejia village. "

Chunni no longer dare to disagree.

Before the Lantern Festival, Hongbo took the initiative to say to Tiehu: "grandfather, I want to pick up brother and sister Wang to spend the Lantern Festival together in the county. If not, the villagers think we don't care about them. " On the one hand, he will be gossiped. On the other hand, if the villagers in Duanjia village think that they don't care how many children bully them, it's not proper.

Tie Hu nodded his head and said, "ah Wang has already worshipped his teacher. I'm not worried about his future. Now there's only a CAI left. This child can't dig in the field all his life. Hongbo, can you find him a job in the county? " Although he is tired of Duan Honglang, he still likes sensible a Wang and diligent a CAI. These two children are not like his parents.

Speaking of the names of the two children, tie Hu shook his head. He even gave the two children money for fear that others would not know that they wanted to get rich.

Hongbo said: "I'm going to find a job for a CAI in Yamen. If you have a serious job, it's easy to get married in the future. " A Wang has thick eyebrows and big eyes. He is also tall. People began to talk to each other at the beginning of the year. But a CAI is not only thin but also short. He is a head shorter than his peers. If the conditions are not good, it's hard to say a good match in the future.

Tiehu said: "with a job and 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, Tiehu said, "Hongbo, write to Honglin and tell him that your parents will return to Tongcheng when spring comes."

Hongbo was stunned: "grandfather, look at my mother's meaning, I don't want to go back to Tongcheng."

"I can't believe your mother's promise. Or do you want her to go to Tongcheng and stay here in case she tosses about again? " When he is old, he likes his family and Lele, instead of flying around every day.

Hongbo is silent.
