"Sister Ping, come here." Tong Youqiang beckoned to Tong Ping, who was cowering in the corner, but Tong Ping was trembling with fear now, where did he dare to come forward? Tong Youqiang had no choice but to walk to the corner.

"Sister Ping, don't be afraid, your mother will be here in a while." Tong Youqiang coaxed.

Hearing the word 'mother', Tong Ping finally cried, her little body trembling and unspeakably distressing.

Yang took a set of red clothes and threw them on the kang: "Come here, I'll change your clothes." "This dress was purchased by Sister Xue when she was eight years old for the Chinese New Year, and because of the care she wears, it still looks brand new at this time. Tong Ping timidly glanced at Tong Youqiang, and then looked at Yang with an impatient face, and didn't dare to go over at all.

"You little girl, what do you do with Joe? Quickly changed your clothes, washed your face, combed your hair, lest someone say that I am abusing you later. Yang shouted with a brass bell-like eye.

Tong Youqiang said angrily: "You can't talk well!" What's the roar? She's still a child, you can't coax her! ”

"Coax, what's there to coax, such a money-losing goods! Don't think I don't know what your dad has in mind! But that's not my business, I'm just enough to get her dressed now! Not to be outdone, Yang replied.

Finally, a red dress was put on Tong Ping's body, she twisted and grabbed the corner of her clothes, she didn't like this dress at all, she wanted to take it off, how beautiful her clothes were, but they were snatched away, these people are really unreasonable, and when the mother comes, she must tell the mother.

After picking up the ropes, Tong Youqiang carried Tong Ping to the main house.

"Come, Sister Ping, come to the milk." Zhao greeted with a smile on his face, look, this little girl is so smart, she looks better than several granddaughters in the family, and she can say kiss after two or three years!

"Don't. I'm going to wait for my mother to pick me up. Tong Ping shook her head and refused to lean forward, she clearly remembered that this grandmother was very fierce.

Zhao's face fell, and he looked displeased: "If you are called, come over, your mother will not pick you up, and you will live with us in the future." ”

"Who said that?" Hongxing entered the hall in a hurry and pulled Tong Ping into his arms.

Tong Ping saw Hongxing, and tears of grievance poured out of her eyes again, and she hugged Hongxing tightly with both hands, for fear that she would not want herself.

"You're not at home to serve the second child, what are you doing here?" Zhao's triangular eyes widened, and said impatiently, she saw this fox-like woman in a variety of ways, more serious than Su Miaoqing at the beginning, Su Miaoqing is beautiful and beautiful, but she is just a little girl. This woman, every gesture is full of coquettishness, the eyes seem to be seductive, the old man and the eldest son often lose their minds in her, if they often sway in front of her, they can't hook their souls?

"I'll pick up Sister Ping and go back." Red apricot road.

"It's hard enough to serve the second child, Sister Ping will stay with me and her father first, and then just wait for the second child to get better, and then take it back." Zhao's arrangement.

"No, I can get busy." Hongxing refused.

"You have to stay, you have to stay, you have to stay! I can tell you, you're the second woman now, and if you don't obey, we might betray you. You don't have a father, a mother, and no backers, so it's better to be honest and obedient. Otherwise, I will sell you to the kiln, and then you will not end well! Zhao said in a sinister manner.

Although the red apricot came out of the land of fireworks, she was still taken aback by Zhao's words. If you are sold into a kiln, it is simply a hell, you have no rights at all, and you have to serve men day and night. Those men were undoubtedly poor people, and spending a few copper plates to find a woman could toss them half to death. In short, when you enter the kiln, you will be able to explain that you have gone there.

Seeing that Hongxing was stunned, Zhao was very satisfied, and said in a slower tone: "Don't worry, Sister Ping can't be hungry or cold with me, don't worry, just come and see it on time." ”

Hearing Zhao say this, Hongxing also knew that she had to be obedient, glared at Tong Youde fiercely, lowered her head and comforted Tong Ping: "Sister Ping, follow grandma here, be obedient, my mother comes to see you every day." Your father's health is too bad now, and your mother has to take good care of it, otherwise, Sister Ping will have no father. ”

Tong Ping listened and nodded ignorantly: "Mother, don't want me, you let Daddy get better quickly, I want to live with my mother and Daddy." ”

Hongxing went out from her house to her own house, scolding this family with resentment in her heart, the old and the young have no good things, she just saw the small slap mark on Sister Ping'er's face that has not disappeared, it must have been done by the shrew's daughter-in-law, and her daughter's clothes and headdress have been changed! You all see, if my red apricot doesn't mess up your Tong family, I am not worthy of being a mother.

Just thinking about it, I saw Su Yunniang, who was separated from Tong Youde, and the group of children walking over here from a distance, and originally wanted to ridicule a few words, but when she saw Lizheng together, Hongxing lowered her head and hurriedly passed by them.

"Mother, looking at Hongxing's resentful face, I guess I was angry again at the old mansion just now!" Su Miaoqing glanced at the red apricot and said in a low voice.

"Well, a poor man, too." Su Yunniang sighed, following a person like Tong Youde, what is it if he is not a pitiful person?

"Yun Niang, you don't have to think about this, come with me to see if the house is satisfied, if you are not satisfied, let's draw again." Zhou Dashan interjected.

"Brother Dashan, I'm really bothering you!" Su Yunniang said embarrassedly.

"What's this, folks, and that's what I'm supposed to do." Zhou Dashan smiled, "Youzhi is a famous bricklayer in ten miles and eight villages, he has chosen a place, can he be bad?" ”

"Mother, how long will it take to build this house?" Tong Yi asked in a humming voice.

"Good boy, in such a hurry? When you go back to the place, you will be satisfied, and Uncle Zhou will find more people in the village to help you, so that you will soon be able to live in a new house. Zhou Dashan patted Tong Yi on the shoulder.

"Oh. I was able to go to my grandmother's house and bring the girl back that month. Tong Yi grinned and said happily.

"You kid, you're still thinking so much about your sister! Your sister is at your grandmother's house, and she can't go hungry or freeze. Zhou Dashan said with a smile, these boys have deep feelings and are very friendly, this is what brothers and sisters should look like, and they have to let their tigers walk around with them more.

After passing through most of the village, I finally stopped at the head of the village.

"What's going on? Yun Niang, are you still satisfied with this place? Zhou Dashan asked.

"It's good, it's good." Su Yunniang nodded, she didn't understand these things, she only felt that the place chosen by the third child would definitely not pit herself.

Su Miaoqing looked around, with her back to the green mountains, there was a bamboo forest on the side of the painted house, and on the other side was the river that passed through Tongjia Village, there were mountains and rivers, and the place was wide, it was indeed a good place.

"Turn back and build the house, and the open space behind it will be set aside for you as a ration plot." Reclamation and reclamation, although it is not a particularly good land, but the river is guarded, the water source is sufficient, and the harvest is not too bad. The most important thing is that it is tight and convenient at home. Zhou Dashan gestured.

"Uncle Zhou, when the yard is built for the house, can you put this bamboo forest into the yard?" Su Miaoqing pointed to the bamboo forest and asked.

"Oh. Those bamboos, how many years have they been ownerless, you like it, just circle it in. Zhou Dashan smiled.
