The safety and comfort of traveling through farming

Chapter 145

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Fu Shi took his daughter-in-law and daughter, carrying New Year's greeting gifts, and drove out in an ox cart to Uncle Qin's house to pay New Year's greetings!

He Tao was a little cautious about Fu Shi's visit to the house on the day when Fu Shi wanted a married girl back home in the second year of junior high school. Could it be that he was thinking about that little cousin?
Fu Shi explained helplessly: "We haven't been there in previous years. If we choose other days, uncle and the others may also go out to visit relatives. Isn't it a waste of time! Only the second day of junior high school will definitely not go out. Entertain the son-in-law's family at home."

The Qin family village where the Qin family lives is located at the junction of Nanshan County and Huyang County, hidden in the mountains and surrounded by mountains, the traffic is very inconvenient.

Although it is in the next county, it is less than twenty miles away from Rongshu Village, but this still refers to the distance that bullock carts can pass.

The Qin family has been hunting for a living for generations, and their home is also in the mountains. When the ox cart arrives at Qin's Village, it cannot move forward. It has to get off and walk a certain distance, and then climb up for half an hour to reach the Qin's house.

The ox cart was sent to a family at the bottom of the mountain, and then the family of four climbed up the mountain with "hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey". Come on in harmony.

There is not much flat land here, and most of the fields in Qinjia Village are reclaimed terraced fields. In order to facilitate farming, the villagers reasonably built a stone road leading to the middle of the mountain. The road is not difficult to walk.Even so, He Tao also clamored to take a 10-minute rest after climbing for 10 minutes.

Fu Shi breathed steadily, looked at He Tao without panting, and said, "It seems that the doctor is right, your bones are really weak..."

He Tao quibbled and said, "How weak is it? It's because I'm carrying Dongzhi on my back!"

Children who are a little over one year old are also very heavy, right?
Fu Shi had no other choice, he carried a basket on his back and couldn't hold two children in his hands, so he could only follow He Tao's rhythm, walking and dawdling until noon before reaching the gate of Qin's house.

The Qin family's house was built on a platform with its back against the mountain wall. It is a small courtyard with a concave shape. It was built with local materials. The lower part of the wall is made of stones cut into cubes, and the upper part is built with wooden planks. The roof is thatched.There is no fence, only a one-meter-high fence on three sides, with a wooden gate in the middle that is more symbolic than practical.

Seeing Fu Shi standing at the door, He Tao was stunned, knowing that he must be remembering the old days, and he was feeling something in his heart, but now she was very hungry, so she had to interrupt his reminiscence and tug on his sleeve Said: "You are calling the door!"

Only then did Fu Shi come back to his senses, let out a "hey", then cleared his throat, and then said: "Uncle..."

He Tao couldn't help rolling his big eyes when he heard the cat meowing from this rough man.Dong Zhi in her arms let out an "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"" and twisted their bodies into Fu Shi's arms, and called, "Father..."

"Hey!" Fu Shijian responded sharply, as if he had truly recovered from his senses, and raised his voice and shouted: "Uncle!"

Someone was talking in the room, but when they heard this, it seemed to be silent for a while. After two breaths, a middle-aged man ran out.

"Brother Shi!"

"Uncle!"

Fu Shi took a step forward, and Uncle Qin had already arrived at the door. With trembling hands, he opened the two wooden doors that only reached their chests, and then reached out to pat Fu Shi on the shoulder. Said: "You are so old... 14 years..."

"Uncle, I've wanted to see you for a long time..." Fu Shi's voice was a little choked up, he lifted Dong Ye and said, "Look, it's my second daughter Dong Ye", then turned around and grabbed He Tao and said: " This is my daughter-in-law, and she is holding my eldest daughter Dongzhi, twins who are over one year old..."

He Tao smiled and called "Uncle" to Uncle Qin, and then taught Dongzhi in his arms to call out: "Dongzhi, this is Uncle, come on, call Uncle..."

The tears in Uncle Qin's eyes finally fell down, he turned his head and wiped it with his hands, then turned around and kept nodding: "Okay, okay, if your mother sees you now, I don't know how happy you are... ..."

"Yes, mother must be very happy to see me now..."

"Let's talk in the house first!"

An energetic female voice interrupted the sadness of the uncle and nephew, and He Tao realized that there were still a group of people standing under the eaves.The one in the front is a fat middle-aged woman with sharp eyes. Behind her are two young men and women, both in their twenties, and three children of different sizes. Should be no more than five years old.

Fu Shi raised his head and called out to the woman, "Auntie."

The woman forced a smile on her face and nodded.

"Come on, let's all go into the house, you came just in time, the food has just been put on the table..."

Uncle Qin took Fu Shi's hand and walked in, and He Tao followed.

He Tao originally thought it would be embarrassing for the two parties to meet. After all, so many unpleasant things happened when Fu Shi was fostered here. Her worst expectation was that her aunt might not let them in, or that she would be silent throughout the process. , or will bring up things that Fu Shi doesn't want to hear.

Who knows that everything she thought didn't happen!

Although the eldest aunt could not be said to be particularly affectionate, she did not show any reluctance, and even added two extra dishes.

Fu Shi was dragged by Uncle Qin to tell him about his experience over the years. The uncle took his wife, daughter, and He Tao to do the homework... It was no different from meeting ordinary relatives.

He Tao breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't care, anyway, they were not her relatives, but she had been worried about Fu Shi's frustration before.

Thinking about it, it's not surprising that Aunt Qin's attitude has changed.

In the past, it was because Fu Shi had the reputation of being a mourner, and she was worried about harming her family, and Uncle Qin was devoted to defending Fu Shi. It is indeed easy for husband and wife to have conflicts due to such external factors.

After knowing that Fu Quan was also afraid of the name of the Sangmen Star before, He Tao already had a clear and intuitive understanding of Daqi people's attitude towards such gods, Buddhas and ghosts, not to mention that when Dongzhi and Dongye had accidents before, She who believed in science was shaken, let alone a native of Daqi.

My aunt's previous performance was beyond reproach, and the sentence "It's because of you that our family is going to break up" is not something out of thin air.

Now, since Fu Shi's reputation has been washed away, and everything goes well with getting married and having children, she will naturally not treat him as a scourge, but just an ordinary relative, so he can do as he should!
The imaginary enemy in He Tao's heart—cousin Sister Qin was married five years ago. Her husband's surname is Li, the only son of a butcher's family in Litou Village next door. They now have a son and a daughter. The bloody thing she imagined "the older cousin stays in the boudoir, meets her cousin again and secretly loves her" happened.

It was the first time to visit relatives, except for a little toss on the road, everything else went well.

The only thing that didn't go well was that Fu Shi was too happy, Uncle Qin was too happy, cousin Qin and cousin-in-law Li Tu were too enthusiastic, they drank bowl after bowl of wine, and finally the four men drank too much!
The two families who originally planned to return on the same day had to stay at Qin's house for one night.

The Qin family has only three bedrooms, the men live in one room, the eldest aunt and daughter Qin Mei sleep in one room with their grandson and granddaughter, and He Tao sleeps in one room with her cousin Zhou and her two sons and daughters.

There is no fragrant and soft cot, quilt, and sweet and fragrant milk soup before going to bed, and I have to squeeze into a not-so-spacious bed with my mother and my cousin with a son and a daughter, being pampered. The twins who were used to it were noisy and refused to sleep anyway, so that He Tao couldn't close his eyes all night.

Unlike the scene where the Fu and Qin families reunite happily after many years, the He family is full of excitement and climaxes.

Because of the tough attitudes of He Tao and He Youliang, the He family woke up from the dream of "He Lian marrying into the Huang family and supporting the family", and began to worry about the revenge of the Huang family. After waiting for a few days, the Huang family was in He Youtian When he came to apologize, he beat him up, and he didn't take the initiative to make things difficult for the He family.

He Youdong lost the "gold and silver mountains", and he started He Youliang's idea of ​​the five taels of betrothal silver. Mosquito legs are still meat no matter how small they are!

When He Youtian went missing and Zhou's family came to help, He Hua often talked about Wang Qionghua. The speculations about "murdering her husband" and "getting pregnant through marriage" were all brought up by her. Have a good face.Today when she was coming, no one from the second room was left. He Youtian accompanied Wang Qionghua to the Wang family, He Fu's family and Xiao Zhou's family also went to the Zhou family, and only the eldest family was left in the He family.

He Youdong did not accompany Zhang Dahua back to her natal home as in previous years, but looked forward to the upcoming He family of three at the door.

As soon as he saw He Hua, he went up to greet him: "Auntie, you are back! It's been a long time since I saw Cousin Kexin, she's already thirteen, have you made a decision?"

He Hua's face sank when he heard this.

This is not which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted!
After Zhou Keren's incident, the daughters of the Zhou family have become red sugar cane that no one cares about, and they are placed in rows at home, and none of them have settled down yet.This account was calculated on her head by the Zhou family. The mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and younger siblings united to scold her three times a day, and let her do all the dirty work by herself. Now she is a donkey of the Zhou family!

If it wasn't for the little girl Zhou Kexin, she would have wanted to bump her head to death.

Thinking of her little girl, she was at a loss and worried. With such a murderer's sister, other girls in the Zhou family might still be able to marry, but Zhou Kexin had no chance at all, so she could only test her to support her for the rest of her life. However, How long can she keep her?

He Hua said to He Youdong forcefully: "I want you to meddle in my own business?! You don't know your own affairs, and your daughter-in-law stays away from home all day long..."

"Auntie, auntie, don't talk about me first," He Youdong pulled He Hua's sleeve with a shy face, and whispered, "Auntie, have you ever thought about letting your cousin marry back to our family?"

This is what He Youdong came up with, He Youliang's reputation was not good, and Zhou Kexin, because Zhou Keren couldn't get married, gave the two of them a bunch, no dowry or dowry, just right!
"Marry Brother Liang?" He Hua frowned, and said coldly, "No, his temper, isn't it pushing Ke Xin into the fire!"

This shows how profound Xi Pozi's gossip skills were at the beginning. Even He Hua believed the rumors that He Youliang had a bad temper and harmed his family.

He Youdong pretended to be regretful and said: "Auntie, you heard me, what happened back then was really not my brother's fault, it was my mother-in-law's nonsense, she fell by herself, and has nothing to do with my brother!"

"Really?"

"Why did I lie to you?! It can't be true anymore!" He Youdong nodded again and again: "I also regret that I didn't stand up and tell the truth at that time, I, I also want to take care of Brother Ming's face... "
