CHAPTER XXI

--Seeing that the eldest wife, the second wife, and the third wife all nodded, the eldest master of Tusi said solemnly: "Countering evil with good will be put aside for the time being, but if the demons and ghosts are not removed, it is rare for the Li family to be peaceful." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info happy events must be done immediately! I heard that Wu'er participated in the Yuan (Shikai) Protector Army in the provincial capital, and his whereabouts are uncertain, and it is impossible for him to come back and marry him; Wen'er, who is doing business abroad, has already entered a wealthy family, let alone hope, Jia Shi drank a stomach of foreign ink, radical thinking, it took so much effort to let him come back and come to the round house with Sister Shuilian last year, and now he is called to beg for a small house, I'm afraid it is even more difficult! ”

When the old man Toast said this, the three wives all understood that the old man was going to marry the dumb child!

The second wife, who was still wiping her tears just now, burst into tears and laughed at this moment.

Dumbness is a piece of her heart, and she often feels guilty and can't eat well and sleep poorly.

The high fever of the dumb child back then, she thought it was an ordinary fever, and said everywhere, "Burn a fever, grow a long time"

Invite witches to worship the gods and exorcise evil spirits; When he realized that something was wrong and sent him to the hospital opened by foreigners in the county, it was too late.

The mute child was burned to the point that he was deaf in both ears, couldn't speak, and fell into the problem of a nymphomaniac.

In addition to his own woman, the mute child salivated and giggled when he saw the woman outside.

Once, he saw Ma Da (Ma) Zi's family just eating a "13-year-old meal"

's peach blossoms, frantically chasing peach blossoms, forcing peach blossoms into a corner, wanting to peel peach blossoms' pants, scared peach blossoms and crying.

Peach Blossom's mother-the oil thief twisted the dumb ear to complain, and the Tusi Li family paid the oil thief a pig's head, so it was over...... For the dumb child's disease, the second wife looked for medical advice everywhere.

Doctors shook their heads.

The local Tulang said that as long as he asked for a "cousin"

, the disease is cured.

To put it lightly, how easy is it to ask a dumb child to be a guest (the locals call their wives a guest)?

The Tusi Li family cast a net everywhere, inviting one matchmaker after another to lobby around, and as soon as they saw each other, they scolded the matchmaker more than once, and naturally failed.

What if you have money?

You can't marry your daughter to a deaf, dumb and nymphomaniac, right?

The three wives were worried and tired, and the toast master was indifferent.

It's not that Master Tusi doesn't want to marry his eldest son, but he feels that the opportunity has not yet come.

Everything pays attention to chance, and when the opportunity comes, you can't marry it.

Now the opportunity has come.

A dumb child can not only please a wife, but also a beautiful, sensible, generous and decent wife!

Master Tusi took a sip of tea without hurrying, and then continued, "Wu'er, Wen'er, and Jiashi, don't count on it, just ask Shi'er (dumb 'Hun Name' Shi) for a room." Why are you staring at each other? Don't believe that we can get a wife? Hey! Then do as I tell you to do. The eldest wife and the third wife will take care of the marriage, and the second wife will accompany the fifth daughter-in-law more during this time, and will be less troublesome to move around. As for me, I will go to the house of Taoist Wu in the county seat tomorrow and ask him to choose a good day and an auspicious day. The happy event of the stone has been done in the next few days. ”

When the old man said this, the three wives were sure that the old man had already made up his mind.

But who is the woman, there must always be a bottom in her heart, right?

The eldest lady asked, "Master, whose eldest daughter is our Shi'er marrying?" ”

Master Tusi picked up the teapot, took a sip, and replied slowly: "Tao Tao, the eldest daughter of Ma Changyi's family in Xiahedong Village." ”

Oh my god!

The three ladies covered their mouths together so that they did not scream.

Peach Blossom is a well-known beautiful Tujia girl, 16 years old this year, the local Miao, Han, Tujia people live together; The custom of the Tujia and Miao families is to sing and dance "Valentine's Day" in March every year when the peach blossoms are in full bloom

, the young men and women in the cottages have met to sing love songs across the river and freely choose their own lifelong partners...... Therefore, the Tujia and Miao villages also selected the "Drum King" every year in that particular festival

and "The King of Singers"

and the custom of weeping and marrying, which is very different from that of other countries...... The Qingshui River flowing through Xuefeng Mountain looks far away, like a glittering jade belt flowing zigzag towards the sky; There are many green willows and peach trees growing on both sides of the river, and many birds jump up and down from the branches, the most beautiful of which is the kingfisher.

On the day the peach blossom was born, it was the season of peach blossoms in March; Ma Da (N) Mazi was shouting at the ploughing ox to level the paddy field, and the daughter of the two-year-old Toast Master of Xiao Taotao happened to be on the same day; The old lady who was not yet paralyzed in bed ran to call: "Born, born!" ”

He straightened up and asked, "Male cub or female baby?" ”

His mother replied, "Is it pretty?" ”

His mother replied, "Beautiful." ”

At this time, Martha (N) Mazi saw a kingfisher flying low from the green willow peach blossom pecking in the stream, and the flying image of a flower blooming in front of his eyes.

Martha (N) Mazi said loudly: "Mother, this girl is called Peach Blossom." ”

--Two years later, the daughter of the old man's family was also named "Cuilan"

Also known as "Lan'er"

That's a later story.

Tempus fugit.

Sixteen years have passed in the blink of an eye, and that day feels like it happened yesterday.

Martha (N) Asako is in a relaxed mood.

He thought that fifty yuan of ocean plus the original savings could almost buy five acres of fertile land.

With five acres of fertile land, he is considered a solid family.

Forget the solid family, hire a short-term worker, and Taotao will not have to work in the fields day and night.

Raise her for a year or two, like a flower like jade, white and tender, and still worry about marrying a good mother-in-law?

It is possible to marry into the county seat, Changde or Changsha.

At that time, hey, hey, hey, he will raise his eyebrows and exalt his eyebrows!

Ma Da (N) Mazi thought while approaching the edge of his own paddy field, Ma Da (N) Mazi originally had an ancestral two acres of dry land, in this place, you can grow dry tobacco, dry grain such as bud grain, sorghum, you can also grow rice; The worst is once a year.

The wind and rain are smooth, and you can make it four times in two years.

The grain grown in two acres and three points of land can save one province, and the family will not have to go hungry all year round.

In the year of his father's death, his mother was seriously ill, and he had not yet learned the carpenter skills of Ma Da (N) Mazi, so he had to sell his land.

sold an acre of land and took my father out of the funeral.

After the old lady's illness was cured, she collapsed on the bed, at least saving her life.

Two acres and three points of land became one and three acres and three points, and still there will be no starvation.

After a few years, the oil thief suddenly laid eggs and gave birth to four sons in one go!

The poor one in the family, alas, don't mention it.

Eating a poached egg is as fun as the New Year!

Now, that's about to change.

Ma Da (N) Mazi saw a delicate figure flashing in the green rice fields of his paddy field, it was a peach blossom!

He shouted, "Tao Taoli! ”

Momo was hunched over and pulling weeds (like weeds in rice) in the field when she heard a shout, "Hey"

sighed, straightened up, and said, "Dad, has the window late of Second Uncle Li's house been repaired?" ”

"No, I'm going to go tomorrow."

Martha (N) Mazi said, then stopped and said, "Taotao, wait and go home early." Your mother went to the town and cut the fat. ”

After Tao Tao heard this, she didn't have a few "starving ghosts" like her

The younger brother cheered so much, but he looked confused.

She said delicately: "Dad, it's not the New Year's holiday, what kind of meat do you cut?" There are wild boars on the mountains that arch the crops, and they are annoyed to death. ”

"One day, go up the mountain and dig a trap in the place where wild boars often pass, and maybe you can hit a head."

Ma Da (N) Mazi looked around, saw no human figure, and said happily: "It turned out that I was going to invite Officer Hou to eat, and I also prepared some game; He didn't come, so we ate. ”

Momo "Oh"

sighed, swallowed his saliva, and said, "Dad, I ate two poached eggs in the morning." I'll leave my share for my grandmother, who is not in good health. ”

Ma Da (N) Mazi's heart was hot, and a sour feeling gushed out, and he said, "Your mother has two catties of meat, and everyone in the family has several pieces." As soon as the sun sets, you go back. Otherwise, I will call your brothers to call you in the field. ”

Peach's pink, pink, pink, peachy face immediately showed a bright smile.

How long has it been since you had eaten meat?

Momo can't even remember.

Martha (N) Mazi turned around, and while walking, he thought, when the five acres of fertile land are bought, life will be better, and he will tell the oil thief to cut meat every day and eat meat every day!

Master Toast's dog's delicacies of the mountains and seas, the meat is fed to cats and dogs!

Why is he able to eat meat every day?

There are a lot of poor people in our village who can't even eat enough?

Oh, by the way, if you have the money, you can make a few clothes for Tao Tao's foreign cloth, but Tujia brocade is not as cheap as foreign cloth; A good horse also needs a good saddle!

compared his family's Lan'er to all of them.

As soon as he thought of Lan'er, Martha (N) Mazi had a strange feeling, and he didn't know how to scold the Li family of Toast......
