peasant girl wedding

Chapter 125
Old Guo laughed loudly, and said in a rough voice: "If you have anything to say, just say it. Anyway, I'll give you a call, Uncle Guo. If I can help, I will naturally help."

Tong Zhaoyin nodded gratefully.

"It's like this, my grandpa and grandma grow more peanuts, and we... I want to ask Uncle Guo to help my grandpa and grandma harvest the remaining [-] acres of peanut land tomorrow morning, of course , I will not let Uncle Guo waste his time in vain, and the day after tomorrow, Uncle Guo and Uncle Ge will come to my house to collect wages."

Old Guo was taken aback.

Of course, he also knew about the old house of the Tong family. He did not expect that Tong Zhide's family, who were treated like this by the old lady and the old man Tong, would do this for them in private after hearing about the changes in the old house of the Tong family.

"What do you mean by wages or not? Lao Guo, I am idle at home now, and the few acres of land in my house are not enough for me to exercise my muscles and bones. Now it is good, and I can be active..."

Aunt Guo followed suit: "Yeah, he's always nagging at home these days, and he doesn't have to do anything. It's really great that you came today."

"Thank you Uncle Guo and Aunt Guo."

"Thank you, these are all due."

That is to say, but if Tong Zhaoyin came to beg them insincerely, they would not care about the affairs of Tong's old house.

Tong Zhaoyin sat for a while, and waited until the sky turned dark into thick ink, then bid farewell to the two of them and walked home.

In the thatched cottage, Tong Zhide and Luo Shi were still waiting for him in the main room.

"Father, mother."

Tong Zhaoyin shouted.

"How's it going?"

Tong Zhide asked anxiously.

"Father, don't worry, I have arranged everything. There are Uncle Guo, Uncle Ge, Uncle Zhou, Uncle Wu, Uncle Xu and the two boys in Uncle Xu's family from our village. I will go to the old house early in the morning to help Let my father and grandma collect peanuts."

A gratified smile appeared on Tong Zhide's face, he kept nodding his head and said, "Okay, okay, Zhaoyin, you are also tired, and you have to go to the county tomorrow morning, so hurry up and go to sleep."

"Hey."

.........

The shadow of the mist was hazy, and the belly of the fish in the east gradually turned white, finally blowing away all the shrouded mist.

"Boom thump thump----"

Hearing the knock on the door, the old lady in the main room woke up quickly and asked loudly, "Who is it?"

"Old lady, we were invited by your second child, and we are here today to help collect peanuts for your family."

As soon as she heard the words "receive peanuts", the old lady trembled all over, put on her clothes and walked out of the main house, grabbed a broom in the yard for self-defense, walked carefully to the door, and put down the latch , but opened a small crack and looked at the people outside through the crack.

Lao Guo grinned, "Old lady, we are here to help your family harvest peanuts."

"Who did you say sent you here?"

"It's the second son of your family."

"Hmph, come here when he asks you to come, don't try to fool me! I don't think you want to accept peanuts, but you are here to grab peanuts!"

What the old lady said immediately made Lao Guo and others unhappy.

If it wasn't for Tong Zhaoyin's face, they still wouldn't come!

However, after all, Lao Guo agreed to Tong Zhaoyin. He felt that if he couldn’t do things, it would be difficult for some time, and then he smiled at the old lady: “If you always don’t believe it, when your second child comes later, you can ask Then we will know, in order to hurry up, let's go to the field now, so that the sun will not burn people."

As Lao Guo said, he turned around and left. Several other people saw him and followed him.

The old lady got anxious and shouted, "Stop! If anyone goes to my field, I will go to the county magistrate's office and sue him for stealing my peanuts!"

In a word, the success made several people stop.

Lao Guo really moved this time.

Not to mention that they are from the same village, the old lady knows them, even if they have evil intentions and want to steal peanuts from Tong's old house, they will not steal so blatantly. Who, I'm going to steal your peanuts."

Lao Guo looked at a few people, and they all looked angry, and even said: "We agreed to Zhaoyin, and we are here, but they don't want our help, so don't force this, let's go, big guy go home."

Lao Guo and the others walked home angrily.

After Luo Shi prepared breakfast for Tong Zhide, Tong Zhide came out of the thatched hut after eating a bowl of gruel with pickles, and walked to Tong Zhixin's house.

"Second brother?"

"Fourth brother, yesterday..."

Tong Zhide told Tong Zhixin about Tong Zhaoyin's arrangement in a hurry, and then said: "I guess Lao Guo and the others have gone to the old house to collect peanuts at this moment, let's go over and talk to father and mother, okay?" Let them both rest at ease."

Tong Zhixin smiled and shook his head, "Second brother, I didn't make any idea about this matter. I heard about the old house and didn't intend to take care of it. I'm embarrassed to accept your favor. Besides, my father and mother will not be willing If you see me, I won't go."

Tong Zhide sighed, and went to Tong's old house alone without forcing it.

"Boom thump thump----"

Hearing the knock on the door again, the old lady picked up the thing and walked into the yard, opened the door, and shouted with wide eyes: "Whoever dares to snatch it..."

"mother."

The old lady's voice stopped abruptly.

She put the broom aside, crossed her hips, raised her eyebrows, and said in a cold tone, "What are you doing here?"

Tong Zhide lowered his head, and didn't care much about the old lady's cold attitude, "Mother, Zhaoyin invited Lao Guo and the others to help you and your father collect peanuts yesterday. I just came to tell mother."

"Collecting peanuts, hmph, I think it's a blatant grabbing of peanuts!"

Tong Zhide frowned at Zou Mei, "Mother, how do you say such things, Lao Guo and the others came to help sincerely..."

"Who cares about their help! I don't need a few outsiders to take care of my family's affairs, and you," the old lady looked at Tong Zhide with sharp eyes, "you have been separated from the family, and the affairs in the field It has nothing to do with your half a penny, don't think that you can get any benefits from the family by hiring someone to collect peanuts!"

"........."

Tong Zhide's heart was sour and astringent, he felt lost and let go, and finally turned into a long sigh, raised his head, smiled and said to the old lady: "If this is the case, then count me as nosy, from now on, I will Never again."

He turned around and limped forward.

boom!
The courtyard door behind him was slammed shut.

Tong Zhide was taken aback for a moment, but then he laughed out loud in relief.

……

"How's it going?"

At home, Luo Shi, who had been worried for a long time, saw Tong Zhide come back, and immediately came forward to ask.

Tong Zhide looked at her face, opened his mouth, and only made a sound after a while.

"Daughter-in-law, I... I'm sorry."
