Tie Kui, wearing leather boots and earmuffs, wrapped himself up and walked out of the door.

Chunni said with a bitter face, "Daddy, can you stop letting my brother go out?" It's snowing heavily outside. My brother is always out hunting, which worries her a lot.

Iron Tiger said with a smile: "your brother always works in a proper way. You don't have to worry about him."

"Dad, we have a house and a field. Your legs are good now. There's no burden for my family to do this?" Doctor Tian said that when iron tiger can walk for a quarter of an hour without feeling tired, he can stop taking medicine. In October, Iron Tiger stopped taking the medicine.

Iron Tiger look a sluggish, then joked: "your brother also wants to praise some money, so as to buy you a rich dowry." When kuizu is grown up, he is afraid to leave.

This period of time often think of this iron tiger is very sad, but he can't stop tiekui. The child has too many things on his back. He can't help him. He can't drag him back.

Chunni said with an ugly face: "I don't want the dowry that my brother has arranged for me. Dad, many girls in the village get married without any dowry. My elder sister and I will have a complete set of furniture in the future, but this is very decent. " Since the good news of Iron Tiger's leg came out, there are many people who are matchmakers of Chunxiang and Chunni sisters. The conditions for Chunxiang are not good, and Tiehu has other plans for Chunni's marriage. Therefore, the relationship between the two sisters is still in suspense.

Iron Tiger smiled and said: "Daddy is joking with you. As you know, kuizi has made a small decision, and I can't stop what he is going to do. "

Chunni said no more.

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

The 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: "go away as soon as you can. It's a good day today. I don't want to hit you with a broom."

"Big sister, I'm here to find kuizu." See Chunni run to get the broom, Shao mechanics busy way: "big sister, I have an appointment with kuizi, and when things are done, I will come to him?"

To lie is not to make up such a low-level excuse. But Chunni asked, "really?"

"When qui Tzu is asked about it, he will know whether it is true or not." He came as soon as the family was settled.

Chunni said: "kuizi is out. He can't come back until noon. If you are looking for him, wait outside! " Then he closed the door.

Shao mechanics looked at the closed door and gave a wry smile. His future sister-in-law is really awesome.

"Who?" Chunxiang asked

"Sister Wang next door said she had no salt in her house and wanted to borrow it. I refused." Sister Wang next door borrowed either salt or rice. At first, I didn't know that all her virtue sisters borrowed it. Later, when I saw that I had borrowed it or not, Chunni would not borrow it.

Chunxiang has no doubt about him. He continues to cook porridge.

Fortunately, tiekui also miss that today is Laba. He went to the traps arranged by him and turned around and came back. At the door, I saw Shao mechanics in a circle.

Shao mechanics saw tie Kui, who was carrying two pheasants, and cried happily, "Kui di..."

Tie Kui said, "wait for me." Finish saying to push the door, see push can not open a loud cry.

Chunni opens the door and looks at Shao mechanistically with a disdainful face. "Brother, he said he came to see you, and he said he had an appointment with you before."

Tiekui gave Chunni two pheasants and said, "second sister, let's have hot pot in the evening."

"Good." Brother and sister, they like hot pot best in cold weather. After eating, the whole body is warm.

Tiekui turned to Shao mechanics and said, "if you have something to say, let's go outside."

At the entrance of the village, tiekui asked, "what do you want me to do?"

"Our family has split." Seeing tie Kui's face was indifferent, Shao said: "the houses and fields in my family have been given to my elder brother and younger brother. I didn't want anything."

Tiekui chuckled and said, "it's like you've been swept out of the house."

Shao mechanics coughed and said: "my father and my brother, my mother and my brother. At the time of separation, my father said in front of the village head and the clan head that he didn't share my property, and that he didn't need me to raise their elder brothers in the future. "

"Then what do you take to marry my elder sister? Can't let my sister sleep on the street with you? " He believes Shao mechanics can earn money from eating and wearing, but he doesn't have a house to live in.

"You can rest assured that I have saved a sum of money and can buy two rooms in the county," Shao said. But after buying the house, I don't have much money. If we want to get married, it will take the end of next year. " A year is enough to save money for marriage.

Tiekui was very satisfied with the result: "after you buy the house, please invite the matchmaker to my house to propose marriage!"

Shao mechanics is very happy: "can I see Chunxiang?"

"I'll let you meet again when we get engaged." See Shao mechanics face disappointed, tiekui said: "not bad this more than a month time."

After returning home, tiekui told Tiehu: "Dad, Brother Shao really likes elder sister. As the saying goes, it's easy to ask for priceless treasure. It's hard to find a lover. Let's complete them! "

Iron Tiger frowned and said, "how did they separate?" If you use any improper means to separate your family, you can't marry your daughter to him.

Tiekui has always paid attention to the situation of Shao family. After Shao Lixing's affair with the widow broke out, Shao Lixing would not take money home any more, and Shao's sister-in-law would not like to keep her little brother-in-law. Shao's house is so noisy. 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 him one hundred liang of silver. If not, he would go to the Yamen and tell Shao Lixing.

The money that Shao's mother saved was almost used by Shao Lixing. To protect Shao Lixing's future and reputation, he had to sell land to raise money. It's a pity that Shao's father and his wife don't agree.

Tiekui guessed that Shao family would split up, but he thought he would split up again after the new year. Unexpectedly, the Shao family is now separated.

Tiekui said, "Brother Shao's father said in front of the village head and the clan head that he didn't divide his house from his field, and that he would not be allowed to provide for the aged in the future."

As long as the separation has nothing to do with Shao mechanics, iron tiger has no worries: "it's better for him to let Shao's father and Shao's mother know about it. If not, what would it look like if the parents were not present at the time of marriage. "

Tiekui said, "I'll tell him then." Shao's father saw his little son didn't grow up and quickly divided his family. It can be seen that he is still a man with a clear hand. Shao Erge is married. He is sure to be there. As for Shao mu, that's not necessarily the case.

"Don't tell elder sister about it, Dad. When the matchmaker comes, tell her about it. " If you tell Chunxiang now that something goes wrong, he is afraid that Chunxiang can't bear the blow.

Two days before the new year, tiekui carried a deer weighing more than 20 jin down the mountain.

Seeing the deer, Chunni said smilingly, "we kuizi are becoming more and more capable. We will not worry about no meat in the future." Tiekui began to hunt in the mountains after autumn. He had never hunted any big wild animals, but there were many wild chickens and rabbits.

"Second sister, don't worry. I'll make sure you eat meat every day, until you don't want to eat it."

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

After the Lantern Festival, Shao mechanics came to tiekui. After showing him the deed of house, Shao said, "I'll ask matchmaker Chen to come to your house to propose marriage later."

Tiekui said, "Brother Shao, my father is worried that you will marry my elder sister, and your father and mother will not attend the wedding." When a son gets married, it's hard to see if his parents don't show up for the wedding.

Shao said with a smile, "don't worry. I have told my father and brother that I want to marry Chunxiang. They have no objection. They also said that I should do marriage at home."

Shao mechanics has nothing. No matter how close you are, you won't be as hot as before.

"It's OK to have a wedding at your home, but the furniture should be sent directly to the county." He doesn't trust Shao's mother. He is so partial that he has no sense. If you want to take her sister's dowry as your own, then it will be another trouble.

Naturally, Shao Lixue has no problem.

On the 18th day of the first month, matchmaker Chen came to talk about marriage. Because the gas has been passed, the iron family has no affectation.

When people asked about it, they all said that they were moved by Shao's sincerity. By the way, I also talked about Shao mechanics buying a house in the county. Although only two rooms, but enough to make the village envy.

But don't know, because buy a house to buy a thing to let Shao mother angry to scold him unfilial.

If you decide on a marriage, the man will give you a dowry. Originally thought Shao mechanics bought a house and had no money, the dowry would be very poor. But I didn't expect to give you two liang of silver in addition to the gift cake, chicken and duck, fish wine and other things.

Iron Tiger looked at the silver in the red bag and said, "this child, there are many private houses."

Tiekui smiled: "Dad, I think the money for this dowry should be borrowed. However, it's kind of intentional. " These things add up to 45 Liang silver, not as much as before. But Shao mechanics set it up with his heart, which is enough.

In fact, tiekui doesn't care about the amount of money. What he wants is the sincerity of the other party.

When the marriage was settled, tie Kui said, "elder sister, you look very bad in this period of time. You need to mend it well. Otherwise, Brother Shao must run away when he sees you like this. "

Chunxiang, covering her face, asked incredulously, "is it really that ugly?"

"Good thing, elder sister, is that the marriage is scheduled for the end of September. There are still nine months left. You can take care of yourself slowly. " After a pause, tiekui said again, "elder sister, don't go out to work before you get married. Try to raise some white in this period."

"I won't go to work, and Chunni can't finish all the work in the field alone!" said Chunxiang

"When you are busy, just pay for people." In addition to hunting on the mountain, tiekui practiced Kung Fu at home, then copied books, and rarely worked in the field.

Please pay 20 or 30 Wen a day for one person. He has 800 Wen to copy a book for the book office in the county. It's better to copy one more book and hire someone to do it than to work hard in the field.

This proposal was unanimously approved by Tiehu and Chunni. Chunni said, "elder sister, you must keep yourself tender and tender, and strive to be the most beautiful bride."

Chunxiang blushes with shame.

The married daughter and her family should prepare the dowry. Although there is that set of furniture, enough to let Chunxiang get married. But tie Kui, don't want to lose her.

This day, tiekui bought the peach and goose yellow cloth and asked Chunxiang and Chunni to make new clothes.

Chunni said with a smile: "my brother, I'm going to work in the field. It's totally a waste to wear such a good material. It's big
