Chapter 2087 (1/2)
The Shao family added eight Liang silver to the dowry, but Tiehu was not happy at all.
”Kuizi, Chunxiang offended her mother-in-law before she passed the door. I'm afraid my mother-in-law will rub me up when I get married later. ” Tiekui is to avoid him and matchmaker Chen said to add betrothal gifts, and after he knows it, it is not easy to dismantle tiekui's platform.
Tiekui heard this and Chunxiang said: ”elder sister, the bride price of Shao's eldest daughter-in-law adds up to more than ten liang of silver at the bottom of the pressurized box. You have only two Liang. There is such a big difference. If I don't fight for you, you will be despised by Shao's family before I get married. ” This kind of thing can't give way at all. Once conceded, was despised by the other party to marry in the past not a bit of status. And with a beginning, it will get worse later.
Chunni stood on tiekui's side and said to Tiehu, ”Daddy, my brother is right. We don't compare with Shao's eldest daughter-in-law, but we can't differ too much. If we don't talk, others think we are bullies. After that, the elder sister married, and she had no better life. ”
Tiekui saw Tiehu frown and said: ”Daddy, how much dowry do Shao family give and how much we accompany. When elder sister gets married, no one dare look down on him. ”
Now that it's over, it's no use saying more.
After the marriage was settled, iron tiger went to cut wood on the mountain. Because he has been wandering in the mountains, where there is good wood is very clear in his heart. More than a month, more than 20 pieces of good wood. In the yard, it's well placed.
Some people came to buy several pieces of wood, but Iron Tiger refused. The wood is not enough to make two sets of furniture. He is going to cut some more. It won't sell.
It will be a while before the wood is cut back, but Chunxiang's marriage will be in May next year, with about two years to go. There is plenty of time.
After the Mid Autumn Festival, Shao family sent moon cakes and peanuts and other festival gifts. Iron family, also returned to the same value of the gift.
It's a good time to hunt in autumn. Unfortunately, father Li can't hunt because of his waist disease. Li Guigen said that he could go hunting with tiekui.
Father Li thought it was inappropriate and said, ”I went hunting with your uncle tie. You won't go there. It's a white elephant.” At least he is rich in hunting and can help with many things. But Li Gui doesn't know anything. What can he do. Moreover, the wild animals are all ferocious. If you are not careful, something will happen.
Li Gui didn't give up. He told Tiehu about it on his back. He also said that he had enough experience watching him hunt since he was young.
Iron Tiger didn't agree: ”hunting is not a joke. If you are not careful, you will lose your life. You didn't go hunting alone. How can you follow me to the mountains? ”
Li Gui said that his family has a large population and big expenses, so he wanted to increase his income by hunting. Unfortunately, even if he said so, he didn't let iron tiger let go.
Li family has a house and a field. All four adults in the family can work to make money. They can't support two children.
In fact, even without tiekui, Tiehu would not agree. Li Gui is the only son of Li family. He can't afford to take him to the mountain in case of an accident. Second, if you bring such a burden, how will their family live.
Li Gui finally came back disappointed.
But with the encouragement of his daughter-in-law tie Xiaocui, Li Gui didn't give up either. After autumn, he began to set traps and catch wild things on his own.
It was late November, and the school was off.
Seeing that tie Kui was either running or practicing at home, Chunni couldn't help but ask: ”brother ershui's brother and brother went home from the private school either endorsing or practicing calligraphy. Brother, why don't you endorse and practice the calligraphy ”
tiekui said with a smile:” I recite all those books, what else? As for practicing calligraphy, I do it in the evening. ”
After saying this, tiekui suddenly said: ”second sister, it's nothing to do now in winter. Can I teach you to read?”
Chun Ni heart a jump, but soon shook the head: ”I can not delay you study.”
”If there's any delay, it's equivalent to going over it again. Second sister, I'm not afraid to be cheated when I make a contract. ”
From this evening, tiekui teaches Chunxiang and Chunni to read every day. If you don't teach more, learn five words a day.
When Tiehu knew it, she not only didn't object but also encouraged her sisters to recognize more words.
In December, Shao mechanics came to send the annual gift. Chunxiang saw his face red, like a ripe apple.
Tiekui coughed twice and said, ”elder sister, Brother Shao is having lunch at home at noon. You are good at cooking.”
”Good,” said Chunxiang with a low head
Shao mechanics and tie Kui came into the room and looked at the scribble on the desk. They couldn't help asking, ”ah Kui, do you use scribble on weekdays?”
Tie kuijue said, ”it's just that it costs too much money to practice Chinese characters with white paper. Straw paper is enough.” He was given enlightenment by Mr. Ning. Mr. Ning's words even praised by Mr. Hun Jun are among the best in the whole capital. It's just that he hasn't practiced for many years. At the beginning, he was a little rusty. But now a year later, he has found his feelings. Tiekui also intended to be humble. No one knew that he actually wrote a good hand. If not, I'm afraid Mr. Wang would say that he is a prodigy.
Shao mechanics said in silence, ”kuidi, how much do you need for a year's study?”
”Twelve Liang a year, plus about sixteen liang of silver for pen, ink, paper and inkstone.” Finish saying, tie Kui way: ”I am to go home to live, then take lunch to go.”. If you eat in town, it will cost a lot of money. ”
Tiejia is about two-quarters of an hour away from the town, but my brother-in-law studies all day long. His family is only a quarter of an hour away from the town, but his brother lives in a school.
