Zheng Fangyi, the fifth elder of the Zheng family in the mouths of those aunts in the village, is also the one who fished Qin Mutong out of the river.

Although he is called the fifth child of the Zheng family, he actually has no biological brothers and sisters, but a real only child.

Zheng Fangyi is eighteen years old this year, two years older than Qin Mutong.

Unlike Qin Mutong, who was studying, Zheng Fangyi didn't study anymore after finishing junior high school, and now he is like most of his peers in the village, idle, running around all day long, no one knows what he is busy with every day.

This belongs to the kind that is not very reliable in everyone's eyes, and it is not very promising.

Of course, everyone understands Zheng Fangyi's situation better.

Who made a family lose their parents at a young age?

That's right, to a certain extent, Zheng Fangyi's situation is actually similar to Qin Mutong, both of them are not taken care of by their biological parents.

The difference is that Qin Mutong has a real mother, but he ran away without a trace. And Zheng Fangyi's parents, in a snow disaster that year, in order to harvest the vegetables in the field, were directly smashed on the head by the big tree that was crushed by the snow on the edge of the ridge, and lost their lives on the spot.

At that time, Zheng Fangyi was still young, sleeping at home, and he didn't know that his parents went out in the snow at night.

The next morning, when the little Zheng Fangyi woke up as usual and rubbed his eyes and called his mother, the aunt next door broke in and hugged him tightly.

Since then, Zheng Fangyi, who has no parents, has lived with his uncle Zheng Hongxing.

Originally, when Zheng Fangyi's father Zheng Hongqi was still there, their family and Zheng Hongxing's family lived next to each other, and the houses of the two families shared a wall.

Speaking of which, the layout of the houses of the two families is similar, and from the outside, they are two symmetrical and identical apartments. The only difference is that the eldest brother Zheng Hongqi is more capable of giving birth, and the two have four children, three sons and one daughter.

As the younger brother of Zheng Hongqi, there is only one child in the family, Zheng Fangyi, who is younger than the four children of Zheng Hongxing's family.

Zheng Hongqi has a family of three, the child is small, and the family only lives in one room, so the house is naturally spacious. But what about the four children of Zheng Hongxing's family, one of them is a girl's family, and it is very aggrieved to live here.

After Zheng Fangyi lost his father and mother, Zheng Hongxing began to raise Zheng Fangyi in the name of taking care of his younger brother's orphans. And Zheng Fangyi's original home was naturally taken over by Zheng Hongxing.

The wall shared by the two houses was also directly chiseled out by Zheng Hongqi and became a family.

To the outside world, Zheng Hongxing naturally said that this was for the convenience of taking care of his nephew. When his nephew starts a family in the future, he will definitely hand over his brother's house to his nephew. But actually, who knows, Zheng Fangyi's house, it's ironclad to come back!

In this way, it is obviously his own house and his own home, but Zheng Fangyi is stunned like an outsider, crowded into the uncle's family.

Even the original field of Zheng Hongqi's family was also planted by Zheng Hongxing, and the harvest in the field naturally belonged to his family, which made Zheng Fangyi more and more like an idle eater.

The Zheng family is now, the boss Zheng Jianguo has been a soldier for more than ten years, and after demobilization, he stayed in the provincial capital, and he can't come back twice a year. The second Zheng Jianxin is a dull character, he is working as a farmer at home, he married his daughter-in-law the year before last, and just added a daughter this spring.

And Zheng Jianjun, the third child, is a daughter, who went to work in a neighboring province two years earlier. I heard that she found a local man to marry last year, and she will definitely not be able to come back in the future.

As for the fourth child of the Zheng family, named Zheng Jianqing, he is almost twenty years old this year, and like Zheng Fangyi, he is idle all day long, leading a group of people around to recruit cats and dogs, but he can't get along with Zheng Fangyi.

Those who are close to the Zheng family know that Zheng Hongxing and Xiong Xiaofen are looking for a partner for Zheng Jianqing recently. But no one would have thought that they would suddenly take charge of Zheng Fangyi's family affairs.

Although Zheng Fangyi is not young, no matter who is in the village, he has never thought of being a matchmaker for him.

In the case of the Zheng family, Zheng Fangyi has no family background, and it is clear that there is no way out in the future, who is willing to marry his daughter to him? !

Zheng Qiuli's family and Zheng Hongxing's family are relatives of their own family, and Zheng Qiuli naturally knows Zheng Fangyi's situation very well.

As soon as she heard that the uncle of the Zheng family was going to marry Qin Mutong for Zheng Fangyi, the whole person immediately became excited, and she hurriedly pulled her sister Zheng Qiuyan to ask about the details.

Isn't Qin Mutong favored? Isn't she good at reading? No matter how powerful she is, she still has to marry someone like Zheng Fangyi?

"Isn't this Brother Fang Yi who saved Qin Mutong? The eldest aunt said that men and women are not kissed, Brother Fang Yi touched Qin Mutong's body, and he had to marry someone home!" Zheng Qiuyan said in a low voice, "My mother was called over by the eldest uncle, saying that it was to discuss how much dowry to give to the Qin family. I also heard the eldest aunt say, anyway, Qin Mutong is already Brother Fang Yi's person, just give a few catties of food and it's over!"

In those days, every family relied on the little harvest in the fields to eat, and no one was rich. This marriage is a dowry, and naturally it is impossible to be extravagant.

But even so, the statement of these few catties of grain is still too much!

Not to mention the distance, when Zheng Jianxin, the second eldest of the Zheng family, married his daughter-in-law the year before last, he also gave people 300 catties of grain, 300 yuan, as well as two new clothes and a big pig's head.

Of course, the main reason is that Zheng Hongxing's family is not really poor.

This Zheng Hongxing is still the accountant in the village, and he built two mud houses on the side of the national highway not far from his home, opened a small sundries shop, selling some cigarettes, alcohol, soy sauce, vinegar and so on, and he made a lot of money all year round.

But the Zheng family is no longer short of money, and Zheng Hongxing never thought of returning his brother's house to his own nephew.

Zheng Qiuli gloated and said: "What the eldest aunt said is right, Brother Fang Yi took Qin Mutong and Heli out that day, where has Qin Mutong not been touched by Brother Fang Yi? If Brother Fang Yi doesn't marry Qin Mutong, will she still be able to get married? Will she still have the face to go out in the future? If you want me to say, the eldest aunt gave her a few catties of grain as a dowry, it was all for her face! That is, let their family pour food and then enter the door, forgive her and dare not disobey!"

This mean remark startled Zheng Qiuyan: "Sister, why do you say that? Brother Fang Yi didn't want to save people that day, what's wrong with hugging him? Besides, aren't you and Qin Mutong good friends......
