Mrs. Feng looked for a fortune teller and chose the ninth day of the lunar month as a day of great joy.

She asked Mrs. Lin, who was the matchmaker at the beginning, to bring this to the Liu family, although Liu Wang was dissatisfied with being postponed for so long, but he just thought about it and didn't say anything.

So the wedding date of Xiangmei and Liu Meng was officially set.

In the following days, it is time to prepare for Xiangmei's dowry. Originally, some had been prepared, but they were all needlework made by Xiangmei herself, and the Liu family mentioned that they had to find someone to fight the table and cabinet of camphor wood.

Naturally, you have to find Zhu Xing to play furniture. He was a carpenter, and he made things that were durable and cleverly shaped. Ping'an's feet are not good yet, so it is naturally difficult to come forward, so Yunzhu has to say.

Yunzhu went to a shop that sold pen and ink, chose a set of four treasures of the study, and bought two new books. I went to the pastry shop and bought two boxes of snacks and a ruler. took Tian Tian to drive the ox cart along the way, walked a meal, and went to Zhu's house.

It just so happened that on this day, the tiger head rested and wrote at home. Zhu Xing took the wooden job and was really busy. Roche is feeding a group of chicks that he just bought.

It was still the door opened by the tiger head, and when he saw Yunzhu and Tian Tian, he was obviously stunned. But immediately changed his smiling face, and greeted happily: "Aunt Feng! He looked at Tian Tian again and winked at her.

Yunzhu said: "What about your father and your mother?" ”

Tiger Head said: "It's all at home, Auntie, please come in." The tiger head opened the door a little more, and shouted into the courtyard: "Daddy! Mother! Aunt Feng is here. ”

Tian Tian obediently followed behind Yunzhu. Luo and Zhu Xing also came out.

"Sister Song, why are you here. It's really a rare guest, please come in. Luo came up to greet him first, and saw Yun Zhu carrying something in his hand. Attentively took it for her.

When everyone entered the house, Zhu Xing asked, "Is it safer?" ”

Yunzhu said: "It's better, I can go to the ground, but I still have to raise it for a while to heal." ”

Zhu Xing shook his head and sighed: "It's really a disaster." I didn't expect it to hurt so badly, and if I replaced someone else, I was afraid that my feet would be useless. ”

Yunzhu said: "It's also his fate." Don't talk about this, come this time. I have something to look for Brother Zhu. ”

Zhu Xing raised his eyebrows: "Oh, I don't know what is going on?" ”

Yunzhu said: "Didn't my sister-in-law marry the son of Liu Stonemason's family, and the marriage date here was also chosen." All that remains is to prepare the dowry. The mother-in-law meant to ask Brother Zhu to help make a set of camphor wood furniture. ”

"Camphor wood? I'm afraid it's not very good. ”

Yunzhu said: "The day is in the wax moon. There is still more than half a year to prepare, I believe that we should be able to find wood, right? ”

When Zhu Xing heard that the days were still long, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It should be no problem." When I was done with my work, I went to the city to have a look. ”

"Done. Hit two bites of the box. A cabinet, a set of tables, chairs and benches. Yun Zhu said, and took out a purse from his clothes, which contained scattered silver taels: "This is the deposit in advance." ”

Zhu Xing hurriedly said: "I and Ping'an are small, don't you still believe in your family, you don't need to give any deposit." Besides, isn't peace hurt, it's time to use money? ”

Yunzhu said: "It's not easy for your family now. This money should be given. ”

Roche brought tea and invited Yunzhu to drink.

Yun Zhu smiled: "It just so happens that my throat is also thirsty." By the way, I heard that Sister Luo raised chickens. I want to check it out. ”

Roche said: "In the back yard." ”

Yunzhu took two sips of water, and Roche accompanied her to see the little chicks being fed. Zhu Xing is busy here again. Tian Tian also wanted to go with his mother to see the chickens. The tiger head secretly tugged at her clothes.

"What."

The tiger head said softly: "Follow me." ”

But it was said that Yunzhu followed Luo to the backyard, and saw a large bamboo fence in the local area, which raised dozens of tender yellow chicks. Sticking out his little head, he chirped with a small red beak. Others bowed their heads in search of food on the ground.

"How many have you raised?"

Luo said: "There are thirty-five in total, but some have died in the past few days, and they are less than thirty." ”

"These little things are just not easy to take care of, what chickens, ducks, and rabbits, but they all have to be taken care of, careless."

Luo Shi frowned and said: "It's all about now, I hope they can be exchanged for some money when they are older to make up for the family." ”

Yunzhu said: "Sister Luo said it so powerfully, I see it everywhere." Your family's life is not so tight. ”

Luo shook his head and said: "I told you all in the first month, but you still don't believe it, thinking that I am crying poor." If I had raised a daughter, I would have saved her a dowry, and my life would have been much more nourishing. It's easy to put a few new clothes in a season and eat meat once every ten days. ”

Roche is now a family of three, and her husband is a craftsman, so he doesn't have to worry about having no work. There are no in-laws on it. Zhu Xing only has one sister who is married in a foreign country, and he hasn't interacted much for a few years, so he doesn't have to worry about it. But when her husband said that he wanted her son to take the entrance examination, she felt that this road was too difficult and too difficult. There are many farming and reading families, but most of those cultivators and scholars have their own land and real estate, and they are themselves a landlord, unlike their family, which only has one pair of hands and no land.

"Yes, it is not easy for him to come out. But since he is a good seedling, he must be cultivated well, maybe this kid will really be able to glorify his ancestors in the future. ”

The two laughed.

Here, the tiger head pulled Tian Tian to his house, and said mysteriously to Tian Tian: "I got a good thing, show it to you." ”

Tian Tian didn't know why. I saw the tiger head lying on the ground, pouting his little buttocks, and looking for something under the bed. After touching it for a while, I found a clay pot.

The pot was dirty, with a layer of dust on it, and a few distinct fingerprints.

"I'll just show you." As he spoke, Tiger Tou lifted the lid on the jar. Tian Tian stepped forward and took a closer look, and there seemed to be something inside.

"I can't see what it is."

The tiger head glanced at Tian Tian mysteriously. He took the jar to his desk and poured out all the contents of the jar. Tian Tian was dumbfounded, only to see a few young animals. Although it does not have any hair on it, it has a long tail. You can tell what it is at a glance.

Tian Tian saw that the eyes of those little guys had not yet opened, and slowly squirmed. Indescribable nausea and fear. Just like that, his body trembled slightly, and his calves were trembling.

But the tiger head said to her: "Come and see clearly, you touch it, it's fun." Seeing that Tian Tian was a little timid, the tiger head couldn't help but want to tease her, so he caught one. It's going to be put in Tian Tian's hand.

Tian Tian hadn't touched the soft thing yet, so he ran away with a scream, crying as he ran.

Tian Tian's cry alarmed the family. The first person to come out was Zhu Xing, who still had an axe in his hand. Seeing Tian Tian crying, he was surprised: "Tian Tian, is it that stinky boy with the tiger head who bullied you again." Don't be afraid. I'm going to teach him a lesson. ”

Tian Tian couldn't hold back his trembling, and stammered, "Tiger...... Tiger...... Tiger head, he raises a small ...... Consume...... Show me and let me touch it. Later, she was evened out before she finished speaking.

When Zhu Xing heard this, his face was like gold paper, and he hurriedly rushed to the tiger head house with the axe in his hand, scolding as he walked: "Stinky boy." I'm going to kill you. ”

The tiger head was also frightened when he heard his father scolding outside. I threw down the clay pot and tried to escape. There was a hole in the back corner of the house. He could barely get through. The tiger head had no choice but to escape.

Needless to say, the few little rats that he abandoned before opening their eyes were all eliminated by Zhu Xing. Knowing that his son had fled again, he was so angry that he stomped his feet and scolded: "Little rabbit, I don't believe that you won't come back today, and I will teach you a good lesson when you come back!" ”

Luo and Yunzhu rushed over from the backyard, and Tian Tian was still standing in the yard crying,

Yun Zhu asked about the situation, and Luo Che comforted Tian Tian: "That disobedient stinky cub, just like this, I think it's difficult to reach the age of fifty." ”

Yun Zhu hurriedly said: "There is nothing naughty among children. He comforted Tian Tian again, and finally Tian Tian stopped his tears.

Zhu Xing said to Luo: "That little rabbit cub ran away again, and I have to break one of his legs when he comes back." ”

Seeing her husband so angry, Luo was really afraid of being ruthless to her son, and she was a little frightened. Fortunately, Yunzhu spoke earlier: "Brother Zhu, you are angry." This matter is not so strict, and Tian Tian is not so bad. She's a little timid, a child, what do you really do. ”

"I don't know how to make progress, but I still want him to study. It seems that all the thoughts are on playing. "Zhu Xing somewhat hates that iron does not become steel.

Roche said casually: "Then let him study for a few days or come back, it's not a bad thing to learn some crafts from you." ”

Zhu Xing is just thinking about it, where does he really want to give up his studies. Seeing his daughter-in-law say this, Liu said with a cold face at that time: "The woman has seen! The eyelids are shallow. ”

"What's shallow-eyed? Am I wrong? In a family like ours, do you still want him to be a lifter and a jinshi? Your Zhu family has never been a big official for several generations. You are so unrealistic, people will compliment you a few words and you will not be able to find the north. ”

"What do you mean by unrealistic, I think the tiger head is smart and so capable, why not for him?"

……

Come on, the two of them quarreled again, and Yunzhu looked sad from the sidelines, so she had to comfort her again. Roche felt that she and her husband had difficulty communicating in some aspects, so she simply stopped asking.

Seeing this, Yunzhu didn't want to stay long, so he said goodbye to them: "There is still something at home, let's leave." Brother Zhu, I have to trouble you about the furniture. ”

Although Zhu Xing was irritable, he still had a smile on Yunzhu: "Don't worry, leave it to me!" ”

Yunzhu whispered a few words to Luo again: "Okay, it's not all for the good of the child, don't be angry." What's the mouth, it's not a big deal. If you are not happy, everything will be gone. ”

Luo thought that she was reluctant to beat her son, and smiled: "It's nothing, you can eat and then leave." ”

Yunzhu said: "It's still early for dinner, I still have something to do when I go back, and I can't rest assured that I will be safe." ”

Luo Shi quarreled with her husband for a few words, and her son was not obedient, and he was not in the mood to cook, so he sent Yunzhu out, and saw that Tian Tian's eyes were still red, touched her hair and said, "Tian Tian, don't cry." I'll clean up the kid in a moment. ”

Tian Tian didn't speak, Yunzhu pulled her and left.

Roche sulked in the room for a while, and thought about the chicks he raised. I was ready to go and add food and water to the chickens...... The tiger head came back at some point, and was playing with chickens around the fence.

Roche was really worried that the tiger head had pinched the chicks to death, so he stepped forward and said, "You stay away from them!" ”

The tiger head is the best at observing words and feelings, and when he saw the anger on his mother's face, he wanted to run away, but he was collared by the Luo Savior.

"Stinky boy! You're really going to get me in trouble! That rat can also be raised? ”

Tiger Head argued, "I think it's fun." ”

"It's fun, your father works day and night, just to earn two more dollars for you to go to school, and you haven't grown at all. If you don't want to learn, give me back early! ”

The tiger's mother was angry and immediately admitted her mistake: "Mother, I know it's wrong." ”

"If you know what is wrong, you have to know how to change! Also, why are you bullying other people's fields, and people are provoking you? ”

Tiger Head thought, he just wanted to see Tian Tian panicked, he thought it was funny, but he still only cried and complained, it was useless. It's boring.

"I'll tell you, don't bully Tian Tian anymore. You annoy her, see if she doesn't play with you in the future. What do you do! ”

"She wants to play with me, and she is not allowed to play with others!" The tiger's head suddenly became domineering.

Seeing his son like this, Luo Shi burst into tears and laughed: "You, just have a strong mouth." Well, you have entered the academy to learn the rules, recognize words, and understand the reason. You should be more sensible. I still want to be in-laws with your Aunt Feng in the future, if you annoy others, people hate you, and this family affair can't be done. ”

The tiger head immediately said: "I will never play tricks on her again, mother, will she still hate me?" ”

Roche said: "It depends on your ability." ”

The tiger's little head began to think that if he annoyed others, what should he do to make Tian Tian happy.

Here Zhu Xing heard the tiger head speak, and was about to come out to teach him a good lesson. Seeing that Luo Zhi was talking to him in a proper manner, he stood and watched from a distance for a while, but never stepped forward.

"Come inside and go to school and learn some real skills. Don't let people look down on you. ”

The tiger head obediently agreed: "I'll go now." ”

The tiger head walked a few steps, and suddenly turned back to ask his mother: "Mother, did you really mean that you wanted to be close to the Feng family just now?" ”

Roche was a little surprised, this stinky boy really cares about his family's Tian Tian? I thought about this when I was old, and when I saw my son's serious face, I said in my heart, maybe I could take the opportunity to motivate him, so I nodded and said: "I can't tell, it depends on whether you are promising, and whether you are worthy of others!" ”

At this point, the tiger head has a competitive heart.

Zhu Xing saw that his daughter-in-law was taking this son, and he didn't intervene. I just want to think that such a small stinky fart, where does he know anything. But as long as he is willing to go up and study, it's also a good thing. (To be continued......)
