Chapter 2095

The two sisters were talking when Iron Tiger came back from the ground. Although Iron Tiger's legs are OK now, but they dare not do heavy work, but digging and weeding can still be done. Therefore, the work in the field is no longer invited, just two people, father and daughter. Tiekui occasionally helps.

When he entered the door, he heard that most of the foreign debts had been paid. Tiehu asked, "not that mechanics owes six liang of silver to others. After you pass the door, you will help pay them off?"

When Chunxiang passed by, Shao Fu gave him a red bag, which contained two liang of silver. Then Chunxiang takes out the four Liang silver at the bottom of the pressing box and helps Shao mechanics repay the debt.

Knowing that he had made a mistake, Tiehu asked, "how many brothers are there in this section of the family? What's his rank?"

Chunxiang asked Shao mechanics to help him find out the details of each other, so she went home and said, "there are four brothers in his family, and he ranks third. Because it was born in winter, he was named Dongzi. Because his father doesn't work as a housekeeper, so many children can't be raised at home to give him to the aunt who can't be raised as a son. When he was eight years old, his aunt was pregnant with the clinker. When she gave birth to a son, she sent him back to Duan's house. "

"Spring ni how tongue:" four brothers did not get a wife

Chunxiang shook her head and said, "his younger brother is sold by his father to a big family to be a little boy because of his good growth. I don't know why. It's gone in the third year. His eldest brother married a widow with two children last year and occupied all three houses of the family. The brothers couldn't. They set up a thatched cottage at the entrance of the village. " In this case, it's strange to be able to marry a daughter-in-law.

"How about people?"

Chunxiang said: "I've inquired about it, and I'm diligent to say that people are practical. However, they had no skills. The two brothers worked in the county for a short time. All the money earned, except for food, has been used to pay off the debts. "

It's not bad to listen to people's character when paying off foreign debts through short-term work. Iron Tiger point next said: "I let your brother in to inquire, if it is true, then please come to let us see."

Tiekui also hopes that Chunni's marriage will be settled early, so that he can go safely next year. Knowing this, tiekui said, "I'll go to the county tomorrow." It's not good to rush to other people's villages to inquire. You'd better find someone you know.

When he went out, tiekui said, "it may take several days to come back."

Six days later, tiekui came home.

"How about listening?" iron tiger asked

"As elder sister said, it's a down-to-earth duty. The three brothers are very diligent and willing to do anything. However, after his eldest brother married the widow, he took up three rough houses in his family, and then he gave all the foreign debts to him and his second brother. The two brothers are honest, but they have to bear all the foreign debts. " Tiekui drank a mouthful of water and said, "they paid most of their foreign debts by short-term work, and there are still 34 liang of silver left."

Chunni asked, "brother, have you seen anyone?"

Tie Kui nodded his head and said: "see you, I'm shorter than my father. I'm very big and dark. Second sister, the only drawback of this man is that he is a little dull, but if he can speak well, I'm not at ease. " He who can speak and understand is more active in mind. Such a person can't really be a son-in-law.

Iron Tiger looked at Chunni and said, "nice, let the middle man lead him to come home. If you like it, make it up! "

Chunni is trustworthy of tiekui. He said that the character and appearance of Dongzi are not bad and diligent. There should be no mistake: "let's talk about it first."

Two days later, sister Liu took Duan Xiaodong to come. This man, as tiekui said, was tall and strong with dark skin.

Chunni hid in the dark, then pulled tie Kui and asked, "brother, it's not good to see this popular color, isn't it something wrong with your body?"

Tiekui said, "I've asked the doctor to show him. He's OK. It's just that I'm tired every day and I'm not healthy. As long as the doctor is young, I'll be fine if I eat better later. " He was also afraid of the other party's hidden diseases. If so, Chunni would be harmed all her life.

"No problem."

Tiekui said with a smile, "second sister, if you're in love, go out and say hello." I also like it. Naturally, I want to meet you.

Chunni pinched and said, "you go out first, I'll change my clothes." You have to dress yourself up so that you can make a good impression.

Duan Xiaodong sees Chunni and doesn't know where to put her hands.

It was sister Liu who pushed him, and then he came back to himself: "you, you sit..."

This silly stupefied appearance, saw Chunni Puchi to smile to come out: "you sit! I have to cook. At noon, stay at home and have dinner! "

Liu's sister-in-law is so happy that she says she's in love with her silly cousin.

Three meat and three vegetables for lunch, and the taste is very good. However, Duan Xiaodong won't eat a bowl and a half of rice.

After lunch, sister-in-law Liu took Xiaodong away.

Chunni said with a bitter face, "brother, he always has a bitter face when eating. Is he not satisfied with me?" It's rare to meet such a pleasant looking person. Chunni doesn't want to miss it.

Tiekui shook his head and said, "second sister, he is not bitter, but worried."

"What's the matter?"

Tiekui said jokingly, "I'm not a roundworm in his stomach. How do I know? But don't worry, second sister. He just looked at you. He was very satisfied with you. As for what is the matter, we will wait for the reply of the Chinese. "

Out of Tiejia village, sister-in-law Liu also asked: "Dongzi, do you not like this girl? If you don't like it, I'll turn it down for you. "As a child, sister Liu's mother often gave Duan Xiaodong's three brothers food. Duan Xiaodong and his second brother are grateful for her kindness. They have been helping her in the past few years. Sister Liu is also concerned about these two brothers, so she wants to help him.

"No."

Sister Liu actually knows that Duan Xiaodong is fond of Chunni. Just now she said that intentionally: "I like that girl. Why did you frown just now?"

Duan Xiaodong said, "sister, if you want ten Liang silver from them, do you think the marriage will be yellow?" No man is willing to be his son-in-law if he can. But their brothers have no house, no field and no land. It's hard to get married. It's still said that the woman's family is in a good condition. Duan Xiaodong thinks it's OK to come to her home, but she has to give ten liang of silver.

Knowing his temperament, sister-in-law Liu would not ask for money for no reason. "What do you want for ten liang of silver?" she asked

Duan Xiaodong said: "my family still owes four liang of silver, and I want to repay the debt. Then the rest of the money, and build two or three soil embryo room. With the house, the second brother is not sure he can marry his daughter-in-law. "

"I'll tell them about it. I'm sure they'll agree," Liu said with a smile

Duan Xiaodong hesitated and said, "if they don't want to give money, I and I will." Tiejia girl is beautiful and capable. She has a good key character. She will miss out on such a good girl in her whole life.

"Good," said sister-in-law Liu, chuckling

Chunxiang made a special trip for this: "sister-in-law Liu said that Dongzi went back to Duan's house, which was taken care of by his second brother Ershun. Once when he had a high fever, his second brother went to the town to see a doctor with his bare feet in the winter. The doctor saw that they were pitiful and gave free medicine to the doctor. Otherwise, he might be gone. Over the years, the two brothers have been living together. Now he wants to come to my house and feel at ease. Therefore, he raised this condition. "

Chunni turned to look at the Iron Tiger and asked, "Daddy, do we still have ten Liang silver?" As long as she has the silver at home, she is willing to give it.

Iron Tiger said with a smile: "yes. I'll keep all the money for your wedding party. "

Hearing this, Chunxiang hurriedly said, "Sister Liu means that Duan's side won't have any wine. Then she will go back to the hall and ask Dongzi to take Chunni back to recognize her family."

"Yes."

At the time of engagement, Duan Dashun's family of four and Duan Ershun all came. Looking at the bright brick and tile house and Chunni's clothes, Duan Dashun's daughter-in-law is more enthusiastic. It's a pity Chunni knows her nature and is cold to her.

Before the meal was finished, Duan looked at the meat on the table and said, "you can't finish so many dishes. I'll take some back."

Then she took out the big wooden bowl and poured all the meat and vegetables on the table into the big wooden bowl.

Brother Duan said nothing when he saw him.

Duan Ershun and Duan Xiaodong have blue and purple faces, but it's hard to say in front of outsiders. It's not a good thing that the little uncle said "sister-in-law".

Seeing Chunni's black face, tiekui said with a smile, "second sister, didn't you make a dress for Duan San Ge? I'll get it soon. " Today is a good day for engagement. I can't help but make a mess of dishes.

Chunni, holding her breath, enters the room and takes Xiaodong's hand, which is stuffed with cotton padded clothes and trousers. Then she turns around and enters the room again. Not seeing is pure, which saves her one from beating Duan out.

After people left, Chunni angrily scolded: "I've never seen such a face without skin." It's not uncommon for relatives to come back for wine and meat. But before the host can speak, he will pour the meat into his bowl or see it for the first time.

Tiekui knew that Duan's sister-in-law was excellent. Otherwise, she would not marry Duan, who had nothing. "I don't like it. I won't walk in the future." Anyway, Duan Xiaodong is a door-to-door person, and the two families are far apart. It's good to walk around every new year's day. It's ok if you don't walk around.

"Tell sister-in-law Liu that you don't want her to come back when you get married, so you don't have to make jokes." Even if the engagement, if the marriage is such a joke can not be village people. It's a lifetime event to get married. She doesn't want to be regretted.

Tiekui said with a smile, "OK."

On the way back, sister-in-law Duan directly said that it was not easy for brother Duan to pull their brothers together. They should remember this kindness. In other words, I want Duan Xiaodong to wear the cotton padded trousers to Duan Dashun. Unfortunately, Duan didn't pay attention to her at all.

He got ten Liang silver from the iron family and quickly paid back his debts. Duan's wife and husband got the news and came to share the money. Unfortunately, I didn't get a single point.

Knowing that Duan xiaodongshou still has money, and is going to build several Adobe houses, Duan Ershun said shamefully, "third brother, second brother, I'm sorry for you."

"Second brother, I am willing. Moreover, the iron family is kind, and my brother-in-law is also capable. I believe that I will have a good life. "

It's also sister Liu who said that the iron family were kind and felt that the family was sincere to his brother when they engaged. Otherwise, he would not agree to let his brother in.

There are three main materials to cover the soil embryo house, one is the earth brick, the other is the wood, and the third is the straw and Platycodon. The bricks are made by ourselves, the wood is cut on the mountain, and the straw and Platycodon are all very cheap. The main expense is the worker's wages.

In winter, the ground was frozen and unable to make bricks. The two brothers braved the wind and snow and went up the mountain to cut wood.

As soon as the weather warms and the land thaws, the brothers begin to make bricks.
