That night, Zhang Tianhe returned home, and his mother and his sister were very happy to see that he had returned safely.

When he saw that there were more than a dozen boxes of silk, silver and other good things at home, he asked his mother: "Mother, where did these things come from?" ”

"Oh, these things were sent by your uncle Li Fengxiang in the evening, and he said that you went to Heiyun Village to get back all the gold, silver and jewelry they had robbed, this is to thank you, it is a little bit of his heart." His mother said.

"Then we can't take other people's things." Zhang Tianhe said.

"I said the same too, and repeatedly excused myself, but he left these things and left, and said that it would be regarded as a dowry for your sister," his mother also looked helpless, "Your Uncle Li also said that if you encounter any difficulties in the future, you need to use money, just tell him." ”

When Zhang Tianhe heard this, he understood that Li Fengxiang was sincere, so he didn't say anything. Subsequently, after discussing with his mother and his sister, he set his sister's wedding date on the third day of the third month of March.

After that, Zhang Tianhe got up early every morning before dawn, went to the mountains to practice martial arts, practiced marksmanship, and then, came back to read behind closed doors, in addition to the two books given to him by Wu Sen, he collected a lot of books, such as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Zizhi Tongjian", "Sun Tzu's Art of War", "Thirty-six Strategies", "God of War Napoleon", "Alexander the Great", "Essential Qualities of Army Commanders" and so on.

On this day, Zhang Tianhe had just returned from practicing martial arts in the mountains, and Tian Xiaoting rode a horse to his house.

Zhang Tianhe felt a little surprised when he saw that she was coming, but he was still very happy and hurriedly got up to greet her.

"Which fragrant wind blew you here?" Zhang Tianhe said with a smile.

"What? Aren't you welcome me? Tian Xiaoting pretended to be angry and said, "I heard that my sister is getting married, can't I come to see her?" ”

"How could it not be welcomed? I can't even ask for it. Zhang Tianhe said enthusiastically.

"You just have a good mouth, let me ask you, what are you busy with these days, why don't you come to Tianjiazhai to see me?"

Zhang Tianhe roughly told her what happened after the separation, of course, what should be said, and what should not be said is not said.

After hearing this, Tian Xiaoting sighed and blamed him: "You have encountered difficulties and troubles, why don't you come and tell me?"

"It's all in the past, you see, I'm not standing in front of you right now."

At this moment, Zhang Tian and his mother and his sister went out to buy vegetables and came back.

Tian Xiaoting looked a little nervous when she saw it, and then stepped forward to give a salute and said, "Presumably this is Auntie and Sister." ”

Zhang Tianhe hurriedly came over to make an introduction.

Zhang Tianhe and his mother looked at Tian Xiaoting, nodded, and said with a smile: "Okay, since you and Tianhe have become brother and sister, then this is your home, and there is no need to be formal." ”

"Miss Xiaoting, you are so handsome!" Zhang Tianfeng also came over and took her hand and said.

"Sister, I heard that you are about to become a bride, bless you."

"You're so handsome, are you afraid that you won't find a good family?" Zhang Tianfeng said with a smile.

"Sister, you're making fun of me, you think it's good-looking, but not everyone thinks like you." Tian Xiaoting said, giving Zhang Tianhe a blank look.

"You guys talk first, let's go prepare the meal." After speaking, Zhang Tian and his mother and his sister went to the kitchen to cook.

There are only two people left in the room, Zhang Tianhe and Tian Xiaoting.

"Tianhe, I want to ask you a question." Tian Xiaoting said.

"Oh? If there is any question, you ask. ”

"How did you tell Auntie about our relationship?" Tian Xiaoting looked at Zhang Tianhe and asked.

"I didn't tell me much."

"Didn't tell us much? Did you tell your aunt that I was your sister? Tian Xiaoting asked.

"This-" Zhang Tianhe was a little speechless.

"I'm asking you now, seeing that my sister is about to get married, what should we do?" Tian Xiaoting asked.

"What about the two of us? What's the matter with the two of us? ”

"What are you pretending to be confused? Naturally, it's our marriage," Tian Xiaoting said, "We worshipped heaven and earth, and besides, when my brother was dying, he held your hand, how did you reply to him?" ”

"Oh, girl, I saw that he was in pain at that time, so I said it casually, don't take it seriously."

"What do you say? According to you, are you going to deceive even a dying man? When Tian Xiaoting heard this, her apricot eyes rolled and her face suddenly turned red.

"Sister, listen to me, the two of us have become brother and sister, how can we talk about the love of children again?" Zhang Tianhe said, "How can there be an elder brother marrying a younger sister in this world? ”

"Tianhe, don't you tell me this set of big truths, play these ghost tricks, so you are not happy about the two of us?" Tian Xiaoting asked.

"Oh, girl, how can I tell you?"

"Okay, Zhang Tianhe, you can really do it! You don't have to say anything, I'll go. Tian Xiaoting was so angry that she cried.

"Girl, don't be angry, you haven't eaten yet." Zhang Tianhe followed behind and called her.

Tian Xiaoting pretended not to hear, turned over and got on the horse, and left without looking back.

After a while, Zhang Tianhe and his mother came and said, "Tianhe, let me ask you, last time the government came to arrest you, and found a pistol and fifty bullets from your home, she gave you these things, right?" ”

Zhang Tianhe nodded.

His mother said: "This girl looks good, she is very good, and I like it very much, but she is now a female bandit, don't say that she is a daughter-in-law for our family, even if you are not allowed to interact together, if this official knows that you have dealings with bandits, it will kill your head." Last time, you almost died because of this gun, have you forgotten? No matter how poor our family is, you can't take this path. ”

"Mother, I know. You can rest assured. ”

"Have you handed over the gun and bullets to the government?"

"Turn it in." Zhang Tianhe lied.

"It's good to turn it in, I see that you came back from Heiyun Village this time, and you brought a long thing that looks like a fishing rod, what is it?"

"Oh, that's a fishing rod that my godfather gave me."

The next day, Dongfeng and Hongzhong came with a carriage full of gold, silver, silk and other good things.

Zhang Tianhe saw that they were coming, so he hurriedly went out to greet them, knelt down and saluted them, and said, "I don't know that the two brothers are coming, and they have missed the welcome, so please forgive me." ”

The two hurriedly came over and helped Zhang Tianhe up, and said: "Brother, please hurry up, between our brothers, there is no need to be so polite, everything in this carriage is Tian Xiaoting asked us to give it to you, I heard that your sister is going to get married, these are regarded as dowries." ”

When Zhang Tianhe heard this, he felt quite guilty in his heart, he only made people angry yesterday, but today they sent people to send so many good things.

When the three of them met, they were very affectionate, and Zhang Tianhe left them to eat at home.

The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.

Hongzhong said: "Since I last arrested Jin Xiangyang, I miss it very much. To be honest, Tian Xiaoting is really good, and you are even more infatuated with your brother. She also took special care of our brothers. ”

"That's good." Zhang Tianhe said, "As long as the two brothers don't suffer any grievances over there, I can rest assured." So Jin Xiangyang has any new moves recently? ”

"That's not true, he has been a lot more restrained since he was cleaned up last time," Dongfeng said, "However, Tian Xiaoting is a lesbian after all, walking the rivers and lakes, it is still inconvenient, unlike us brothers together, so happy, we mean, if you can pull up a team, our brothers will do it with you." ”

"I thank the two brothers for their kindness, but at present, I have an old lady to support, how can I take this step?" Zhang Tianhe said that he knew that Dongfeng usually didn't talk much, but he had a lot of weight.

"Brother, your concerns are not unreasonable, but look at this day and age, if you don't take this road, will my brothers still have a way to live?" Hongzhong said, "We are also forced to be helpless, if we have food to eat, clothes to wear, and can live a peaceful and stable life, who wants to be a beard?" It's just that in this situation, if you don't plan ahead, maybe one day disaster will befall you. ”

"Thank you two brothers for your trust and reminder, I will consider it."
