Chapter Twenty-Three: Halfway to the Road

This posture was simply a treat for Qi Feng, he was intoxicated, almost sticking to Suisui's hair, smelling the fragrance of her hair, and a trace of sweetness welled up in his heart.

Xu Qi Feng used some strength, Suisui didn't feel so difficult to drive the car, and Qi Feng not only swept away his fatigue, but took more vigorous steps.

kept going downhill, Suisui's mother's house was in front of him, and Qi Fengcai persuaded Suisui to sit in the car again.

Anyway, there was only a short way left, and Tian Suisui didn't recognize his mother's door, so he simply sat on the board obediently and let Qi Feng push him away, so as not to admit the wrong door and make trouble.

Today is the day when Tian Suisui returns to the door, Tian Dad, Tian Auntie, and Suisui's younger brother and sister are all at the door of the house early, and there is a big red happy word pasted at the door, seeing that the eldest daughter is being pushed by the son-in-law with a car, and it is almost at the door of the house, Tian Daddy rarely smiled and smiled, looked at and smiled at Aunt Tian, and quickly picked up the fire fold and lit the firecracker in his hand.

"Crackling!"

After a burst of jubilation, Qi Feng steadily put down the cart and let Suisui get out of the car.

"Dad, mother." Suisui walked up to Daddy Tian and Aunt Tian and called out obediently.

Qi Feng also hurriedly stood up, affectionately called the second father, and then took out a string of copper coins from his chest and handed it to Suisui's younger siblings.

"Come, this is my brother-in-law's gift to you." Qi Feng said generously.

The emaciated younger sibling took a small step back timidly, not daring to reach out to pick it up.

Father Tian twitched his eyes and said politely: "Just come to the house to play for a day, why give the child such a big gift." Take it back. ”

Aunt Tian also turned pale and said, "That's it, how can you give such a big gift to the children, take it back." ”

After speaking, he said to the two children: "Huzi, Yueyue, you can't ask for your brother-in-law's money, you know?" ”

Qi Feng insisted and took a step forward, and the two children timidly took another step back.

Qi Feng had no choice but to hand the money string to Suisui and said, "Lady, this is a gift for your husband to meet her younger brothers and sisters, you can help your husband send it over, and my younger brothers and sisters will recognize me as a child." ”

Suisui immediately took it, walked up with a smile and stuffed a string of copper coins into the hands of his younger brothers and sisters, learned Tian's tone, and shouted affectionately: "Huzi, Yueyue, take it, brother-in-law will give it to you, listen to my sister's acceptance." ”

The younger sibling then reached out and took it. Father Tian and Tian laughed and let the two of them into the house.

After Qi Feng pushed the car in, he diligently moved the things in the car to the house.

Father Tian waited in the courtyard with a smiling face to enter the house with Qi Feng, while the children of the Tian family and Tian Suisui entered the house early.

As soon as he entered, Tian took a string of copper coins from the children's hands and muttered in a low voice, "Children can't spend so much money." ”

As soon as the money was collected, Daddy Tian led Qi Feng into the house.

Tian Shi hurriedly brought a pot of boiling water that had been boiled in advance, filled it with a few light coarse porcelain bowls and served it to Qi Feng, and said, "It's weirdly hot, you must be thirsty on the road, moisten your throat first." ”

Qi Feng looked at the coarse porcelain bowl with slightly black porcelain glaze, and hesitantly stretched out his hand.

Tian Suisui saw Xianggong's reluctance, so he took it with a smile, and turned his back to the second elder of the Tian family, squeezed his eyebrows at Qi Feng, and motioned for him to drink.

Not to mention a man like Qi Feng who loves cleanliness, even if he has just crossed over, it is difficult to swallow with this simple coarse porcelain bowl.

He saw what the lady meant, thinking that the lady loved to be clean, and her mother must not be far behind, so he generously took the bowl, only to find that although the bowl was rough, it was indeed clean.

Seeing that his son-in-law was getting along well, Father Tian opened the conversation box and began to greet Qi Feng.

Tian also sat aside, interjecting a few words from time to time to talk about some parents' shortcomings.

As we talked, we talked about the crops, and at this time, every family was busy cutting wheat in the fields. Father Tian asked Qi Feng's family how many acres of land they had planted and how the crops grew.

Qi Feng answered politely one by one, and Tian took Suisui to help by the stove.

With his back to Qi Feng, he whispered to Suisui about some of the more obscure things. Tian asked Suisui in a roundabout way, whether Qi Feng was good to her, Suisui replied shyly and astringently, Qi Feng is very good in everything, let her mother rest assured.

After hearing this, Tian secretly glanced at Qi Feng again, only to see that Qi Feng was sitting upright, and his attitude when talking to Father Tian was also respectful and polite, and he nodded with satisfaction.

praised Suisui: "I think this Qi Feng is a good person to get along with, you are married to a wife, remember to honor your in-laws at home and be sympathetic to your father-in-law." It's also very generous for people to make a move, you should be diligent at home, and it's better to have one more. ”

Suisui nodded while picking vegetables, and agreed with Tian's words, Qi Feng treated himself well.

Qi Feng also gave an extra 100 copper coins for the return gift, which was really rich enough for the poor clanging Tian family.

Tian smiled and asked Suisui: "Your mother-in-law is really generous, other people's families have never heard of giving an extra hundred yuan with the gift." ”

Tian Suisui was stunned for a moment, thinking to herself, when did her mother-in-law give Qi Feng a hundred yuan. It can't be that Qi Feng has moved his private money again. Looking at Tian's satisfied smile, she smiled and gave her mother-in-law a long face and said, "Yes, my mother-in-law is very good." I knew that our family was in trouble, so I gave more. ”

Tian glanced at Qi Feng again, thinking that he could teach such a sensible and reasonable child, presumably people must be reasonable.

Tian took out a dry and flat old green onion from the corner, peeled it, and cut it a few times. After washing and peeling the chickens again, Suisui helped peel a handful of peanuts, and after Tian made a fire, he asked Suisui to help add firewood.

Tian stewed a chicken with chopped green onions, and Suisui casually put the peeled peanuts into the pot and boiled them together.

Tian asked in surprise: "Suisui, why did you throw the peanuts into the pot together, isn't this just a skewer?" ”

Tian Suisui used to stew chicken by himself, and he liked to put a handful of peanuts, so that the stewed soup was fragrant.

But now Tian's surprised gaze made Tian Suisui immediately shocked, laughed wryly, and explained: "Mother, it is easy to cook together, and two dishes are produced in one pot, which saves both firewood and effort." ”

"You kid, don't be lazy when you go to your mother-in-law's house, be careful if your mother-in-law picks you." Tian kindly reminded.

"yes, got it." Tian Suisui obediently responded.

At the square table, Daddy Tian was talking freely with Qi Feng.

Qi Feng didn't understand why the Tian family was so poor, so he asked simply and straightforwardly.

Father Tian sighed and began to tell the story.

It turned out that her family also had a few acres of land, but later the landlord's family forcibly rented the plant, leaving only one acre of land for the Tian family to cultivate by themselves. Every year, 80% of the harvest will be subsidized. The landlord was rampant and domineering in the village, and no one dared to provoke him, especially his family was thin, and he was even more dumb and ate Coptis chinensis, and there were words of suffering.

Landlords are rampant in every village in the village, this phenomenon is too common, if any family is prosperous, the landlord will not be easily provoked, they are all soft and afraid of hard.

His old Qi family has a lot of people in the village. In addition to the uncle's family, the cousin's uncle's family, and several brothers, it is not weak. I have been a soldier for another two years, and I can say that I can stand at the door in the village. For the Tian family's encounter, Qi Feng could only sigh helplessly.

After a while, Tian brought the stewed chicken and a plate of peanuts to the table, and Huzi and Yueyue also sat down greedily.

Sui Sui and Qi Feng occasionally ate meat in the past two days, so they were not greedy, and only symbolically pinched a few chopsticks.

Tian and Tian's father are elders, and they are also holding shelves in front of juniors, but Huzi and Yueyue know that their sister and wife are very good, and they are greedy for the plate of chickens, and under the acquiescence of the family, they have the courage to tear the chicken legs and eat them.

Huzi and Yueyue's eating appearance is really wolf-gobbling, and Suisui who saw it couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in his heart.

The Tian family is so poor, even if it is a New Year's holiday, it is estimated that they will not be able to eat a bite of chicken legs. Tian Suisui thought to himself that if he was better in the future, he must take over the Tian family.

After lunch, Qi Feng and Suisui rested for a while, and then told the second elder of the Tian family that he would go to the field to harvest wheat in the afternoon, and planned to leave early.

When Tian heard this, he hurriedly folded the pork and wheat noodles and stick noodles in half and loaded them back into the car.

When Suisui came out of the house, he saw that Tian was busy working in the yard, so he hurriedly walked up to Tian and asked in surprise: "These are all prepared by my mother-in-law for our family, why does my mother still load them in the car?" ”

"Silly boy, they are all married, why don't you understand this point. It's called a folder. It's our unwritten ritual. ”

Tian Suisui glanced at Qi Feng in a daze, and Qi Feng shrugged his brows almost imperceptibly, indicating that he didn't know either.

In this case, what kind of etiquette does she still care about, the Tian family is so poor, it would be best to leave some more.

But Tian deeply understands that if he doesn't go back with some, his daughter will definitely be looked down upon by his mother-in-law.

She insisted on running back to the house, cut off a piece of pork and said: "It's hot, there is so much pork left at home that you can't eat it and it will be spoiled, just keep the noodles, this piece of pork will be brought back with you for anything." ”

Tian Suisui didn't follow, and said angrily to Tian: "If you can't finish eating, you can fry it in oil first, and maybe you can put it for a few more days." Even if it's broken, it's also my mother's sin. ”

"This child, how can you talk to your mother?" Although Tian counted the ears on his mouth, he was very happy in his heart.

Father Tian walked over with a slight smile and said, "Don't worry, I'll eat it up in a few meals, and I can't let your mother make a crime." ”

Tian Suisui smiled embarrassedly, too, this family hasn't eaten meat for many years, not to mention eating six catties of pork for a few more days, at most three days, or even two days.

Seeing that the sun was in the west, Suisui remembered what her mother-in-law said when she was leaving, and asked Qi Feng to go back to harvest wheat. Immediately no longer delayed, and after saying goodbye to the second elder of the Tian family, he got on Qi Feng's trolley and rushed home.

Sui Sui was worried about Qi Feng's 100 Wen Sui's money, and couldn't help but ask after leaving Shilipo.

"Xianggong, the 100 yuan was not given to you by your mother, right?"

"The lady is really a good blue heart, you guessed it, this is my private money. Thinking about coming to your mother's house, it would be better to bring more. ”

Although Suisui was grateful, he couldn't help but admonish: "You can't easily move that money in the future, you know?" ”

"yes, got it." Qi Feng answered obediently.

Along the way, Qi Feng and Suisui talked about their parents, and the two laughed while walking, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. After walking for a short distance, I went out of the ten-mile slope and entered the mountains and forests. Qi Feng drank a lot of boiled water at the Tian family, and he didn't go to the Tian family to relieve himself.

Now that there was no one around, the trees were dense, and Qi Feng suddenly felt a sense of urine.

He looked a little unnatural, and said to Suisui: "Lady, are you in a hurry?" ”

It's okay not to mention it, so at the mention of this, Suisui suddenly had a feeling of urine, and nodded shyly and astringently, but this is a wilderness, there is no toilet, and she is a little embarrassed for a while.

Qi Feng glanced around, except for some bird calls, there was no sound of passing. He was bold and relieved: "Don't be suffocated, don't be suffocated, give your husband the wind, you can go behind the big tree for convenience." ”

As soon as he said this, Tian Suisui turned his head to look at the big tree, and saw that the big tree was about the thickness of the well's mouth, and the foot of the tree was overgrown with weeds.

If you crouch down, you shouldn't be able to see anything from here.
