Chapter 18 The Princess
Tong Zhangjia's suggestion, Tong Laozhu thought about it a little and responded to it.
"The boss, I'll go to your house to sleep, Mrs. Wei and your mother are in this house, Master Xiucai and the third child are crowded, as for ......!"
The eyes of everyone in the house looked at Tong Shuangxi, who re-entered the house.
Tong Shuangxi is pregnant and can't live in his mother's house, which will affect the future of his mother's children.
"Let the third family take it to squeeze in with the old aunt at the west end of your village for one night!"
In the end, I still mind that Tong Shuangxi has a body, and I can't even tolerate it for one night.
Tong Zhangwan, the third elder of the Tong family, looked at the pitch black outside, and then looked at Tong Shuangxi, who was standing there with his head down, and the words came to his mouth, but he didn't say anything in the end.
There are pregnant girls in the village who can't live in their parents' house, but they just live for one night or two nights, but it's no problem, not to mention other families, it's their own eldest sister and younger sister who got married, no......
It's just that you can't think about it, and saying it is tantamount to picking things.
"I'll let the child and her mother lead someone over!"
With that, Tong Zhangwan got up and went to the backyard.
Tong Zhangwan's daughter-in-law Xiao Wang is the niece of Tong Wang's mother's family, she has thin eyebrows and fine eyes, and she speaks softly and softly.
The six or seven-year-old girl behind her is also like her mother, Xiao Wang, who speaks softly and milkily, which is very endearing.
The mother and daughter didn't talk much, Xiao Wang took her daughter's hand and walked in front, and Tong Shuangxi followed behind.
Along the way, Tong Shuangxi casually asked about the old aunt's recent situation, and even guessed a little about it.
The aunt is a cousin of Tong Wang's mother's family, and she also married to Liuli Village in her early years, but over the years, the family has been sick and dead, and in the end, even her only son fell into the river at the east end of the village and drowned three years ago.
The people in the village felt that her life was hard and did not associate with her, and even the neighbors on both sides were afraid of her bad luck and moved away one after another.
When Tong Shuangxi arrived, he saw a lonely house, all the surrounding 100 meters were barren grass and trees, and the sound of crickets made people feel very desolate.
Tong Shuangxi was not afraid, but there was a slight sense of desolation in his heart.
Xiao Wang knocked on the door, whispered a few words to the mother-in-law who opened the door, and then went back with the little girl.
This aunt's husband's surname is Zhu, and the people in the village called her Lao Zhu's family before, but after she was the only one left, everyone called her Mrs. Wang.
Mrs. Wang did not light the lamp, and directly led Tong Shuangxi to the back room.
The room was pitch black, and he couldn't see his fingers, so Tong Shuangxi could only rely on the sound of footsteps to follow behind Mrs. Wang.
"Sleep!"
After saying this, Mrs. Wang went straight to bed, and after a while, she snored.
Leaning against the bed, there was a small window, Tong Shuangxi stood for a long time, and his eyes gradually could see a little blurred shadow.
Tong Shuangxi was so tired that he couldn't care about the screaming of his stomach, took off his shoes, carefully climbed to the inside of the princess, and fell asleep.
This is the most solid night that Tong Shuangxi slept in this world.
Tong Shuangxi was woken up by hunger, and when she opened her eyes, the princess was no longer in bed.
Snorted, Tong Shuangxi realized some coolness, although it was summer, there was still a little coolness in the early morning, plus Tong Shuangxi didn't cover anything to sleep all night.
Another point is that Tong Shuangxi feels that he is pregnant, and his body is weaker.
The room was empty, except for the bed under the body, which was the cupboard at the head of the bed, which was no longer colored.
The walls are made of adobe mud, and the ground is also uneven muddy soil, but over the years, the mud has already been trampled, but it has also grown a little smooth.
Tong Shuangxi touched his body, and when he saw that the money was still on him, he got up and put on his shoes and walked out of the door of the house.
Outside the door of the house is the living room, which is also a mud floor and mud wall, and a long desk is placed in the center, on which are placed five or six square tablets.
Come to think of it, this is the ranking of the Zhu family.
In front of each tablet is a sea bowl, and in each bowl is a large steamed bun, and each steamed bun is inserted with half of the incense.
The west side of the living room is also a room, and I think it is the West House.
At this time, there were several sounds of beating clothes outside the house, and then a mother-in-law entered the house.
Tong Shuangxi didn't see the appearance of this mother-in-law last night, but he was taken aback at this time, I heard that he was a few years younger than Tong Wang, but he looked much older than Tong Wang, if he didn't know, he said that she was sixty years old, Tong Shuangxi also believed it.
Just thinking about the situation of this mother-in-law, Tong Shuangxi can also understand a thing or two.
"Go wash this taro and cook it!"
When Mrs. Wang entered the door, she saw Tong Shuangxi looking at the tablet in the living room in a daze, and she was stunned, and randomly threw the taro that was dug up in the mountain in the morning, and Tong Shuangxi said.
Tong Shuangxi was stunned for a moment, hurriedly retracted his gaze, and happily picked up the taro and went out.
Outside, on the west side of the house, there is a loose kitchen.
In addition to a half-person-high stove, there is only a place to turn around.
Tong Shuangxi found a broken bamboo basket and went out.
When he entered the village, Tong Shuangxi remembered that there was a long river in this village, and Tong Shuangxi did not see the source of the river at that time, thinking that the people who came to this village should live along the river, so this river must not be far from people.
Sure enough, as I walked down the hillside, I heard the sound of a river flowing in a short time.
The river is about 10 meters wide, and the banks of the river are high and low along the hills, and there is no end in sight for a while.
Tong Shuangxi is in the middle and upper reaches, and the river water is sparsely downstream, which is very clear.
After finding a flat stone, Tong Shuangxi rolled up his sleeves and washed the taro carefully in the river.
The summer river water is cool, and Tong Shuangxi feels much more refreshed.
After washing the taro, Tong Shuangxi did not linger long, but got up and walked back.
Behind the stove was a man-high pile of firewood, neatly stacked.
This kind of earthen stove, Tong Shuangxi also saw it at his grandmother's house when he was a child, and he thought it was rare at that time, and he followed his uncle's cousin to help his grandmother burn the fire, and in the end, both of them were covered with mud and dust, and they laughed at the family.
At this time, I think about it, but things are already wrong.
Driving away the sadness in his heart, Tong Shuangxi used a fire fold to make a fire and boiled taro.
When the fragrant smell of taro wafted into Tong Shuangxi's nose, her stomach couldn't bear it for a long time, but after thinking about it, she waited a little longer before taking the pot and filling the taro.
I don't know if it's because I'm too hungry or because of this ancient taro natural thing, Tong Shuangxi can imagine its deliciousness just by looking at and smelling it.
Two sea bowls with openings, one with six bowls and one with five, were brought to the princess.
