back to the field

On the day before the fiftieth birthday of Zhou Qian, the prince of the Zhou family, Tang Sixian sent over dozens of catties of fish balls and fish needed by the Zhou family as promised.Because the birthday banquet was held in a grand manner, not only Cook Zhou was needed, the Zhou family also invited a well-known cook in the county to come and cook.

In the back kitchen, Tang Sixian saw that the cook of Vice Envoy Rong's family was also there. Cook Zhou said: "Vice Envoy Rong and our husband are friends. I learned that the Zhou family needs a cook with good cooking skills. I sent my own cook over to help."

Tang Sixian asked: "Ms. Zhou, didn't you say that your cooking skills are the best? Why are you not angry when your husband invites so many cooks over?"

Chef Zhou straightened her waist and said proudly: "That's natural. I dare say that in Leping County, I have the best cooking skills! But no matter how good the cooking skills are, a person only has one pair of hands. Tomorrow, I will cook dozens of tables. Do it? So I open my mind and allow others to help me.”

After all, the Zhou family is one of the big customers. For the future business, Tang Sixian will definitely save face for her, and replied: "Understood."

She asked again, "Ms. Zhou, when will your little lady's husband show up?"

Chef Zhou said: "He is at Zhou's house now. But even if he is at Zhou's house, it is impossible for him to appear in the back kitchen. Of course you will not meet him. I am curious, you have repeatedly asked about Gao's family, is it true?" for what?"

The two chatted so intently that they didn't notice an extra figure around the corner.

Tang Yu was just passing by, and happened to hear "Gao's family", so she stopped immediately and stared at them deeply.

Tang Sixian thought for a moment, and said, "To be honest, I'm all here to find my aunt."

"Your aunt..." Cook Zhou seemed to think of something, and said in surprise, "Could it be the wife who was betrayed by Gao Zhezheng?"

Tang Concubine's heart tightened, and her hand also clenched the handkerchief in her hand.

Downs scratched his ears enviously, and said awkwardly: "I don't know if she is my aunt. After all, my father passed away suddenly, so he gave a last word, and he didn't even explain which relatives I have. Later, I told When my elder sister returned to her hometown, she found out that we still have an aunt, but it has been more than 20 years, and there is no trace of her. I was worried that something happened to her, so I asked around for her whereabouts."

Chef Zhou was aroused by her curiosity, and asked: "So, you are not from Leping County?"

"No, I came from Shezhou."

"No wonder you thought your accent wasn't very pure at first."

Tang Si choked enviously, she thought to herself, fortunately, the accent of this place was almost the same as the dialect of her time, otherwise, even if she replaced Tang Sixian's vest, she would definitely have various troubles due to the difficulty in communicating with the locals.

Chef Zhou asked gossip again: "I've been curious about something for a long time. Your surname is Tang. Does it have anything to do with the Tang family in Jiejie Township?"

Tang Sixian laughed, and blurted out: "How could I have anything to do with those idiots."

"Stupid what?" Although Zhou's cook didn't understand what "stupid" was, but there was a word "stupid" in it, which obviously wouldn't be a good word.

"Ahem, it's nothing. What I mean is, the Tang family is a big family, how can a low-level commoner like me be able to climb up? I don't dare to have anything to do with them."

"I'll tell you!" Chef Zhou said, "Okay, stop talking, I'll go to the housekeeper to settle the rest of the money for you."

When Cook Zhou left, Tang Sixian chose a place to sit and wait.At this moment, Concubine Tang walked up to her slowly and looked down at her, her eyes were sometimes sharp and sometimes confused.

After hesitating for a moment, Tang Yu thought that he had already walked in front of her, so why bother to be shy?So he asked, "What's your name?"

Tang Sixian stood up, and Tang Concubine had to change from looking down at her to looking up slightly.

"My name is Tang Sixian."

Concubine Tang took a breath and asked again, "Are you from the Tang family?"

Tang Sixian denied it without even thinking about it, and then asked, "Did you eavesdrop on us just now?"

Tang Yu didn't answer her, and asked again: "Who is your father?"

Originally, Tang Sixian just felt that something was wrong. The attitude of the woman in front of her was so abnormal that she had to start guessing in a certain direction.

While paying attention to Tang Yu's expression, she replied, "Tang is thick."

Tang Yu's heart twitched suddenly, her lips trembled, and she calmed down again: "Is he dead?"

Tang Sixian felt more and more that her guess was correct, and immediately said with a hint of sadness in his voice: "Well, he died of illness three years ago."

Tang Concubine was speechless for a long time, obviously she needed time to digest and accept this sad news.Until Tang Sixian asked her: "Are you my aunt?"

Her aunt just glanced at her indifferently, and said calmly: "No."

After speaking, Tang Yu turned around and wanted to leave.

Tang Sixian didn't follow, but called out cheekily from behind: "Auntie."

Tang Yu's figure paused.She turned her head and stared at the "boy" in front of her with a complicated expression, with a trace of exhaustion in her expression: "Why do you want to come back?"

Tang Sixian thought, if she told Tang Caihou's last words to this aunt who also hated the Tang family, would the aunt jump up and scold Tang Caihou for being out of his mind?

She rolled her eyes and said, "Before my father died, he asked us to come back to find my aunt, saying that my aunt is our only close relative."

Tang Concubine's complexion finally eased a lot, and the look in Tang Sixian's eyes was not as calm as before.

She seemed to be lost in memories, so she remained silent for a while before she came back to her senses, "You two, sister and brother, live in Zhenqian Village now?"

"Yes, we went back to our hometown in August and asked the Tang family about my aunt's whereabouts, but they kept silent about it, and we managed to get some clues about my aunt after many twists and turns... Fortunately, I didn't give up, and I finally found my aunt! "

Tang Sixian has now decided on the strategy of playing the bitterness card. If Tang Concubine knows that her younger brother didn't mention her when he died, and instead sends the two of them back to the Tang family, she might die of anger.

Maybe even ignoring her and Tang Qingman, she didn't care about it, but Tang Qingman still longed for family affection, even if it was for Tang Qingman's sake, she had to tell some white lies to lure Tang concubine.

Tang Concubine thought that her heart had been tempered to be as hard as a rock over the years, but when Tang Sixian talked about the hardships of finding her so eloquently, she was still moved with compassion and could not turn her head and leave.

"Auntie, what have you been through these years, why did you work as a cook at Fushi Rong's house?" Tang Sixian asked with concern.

Tang Yu pursed her lips.Even after so many years, these things are still the pain in her heart.Even if she thinks her heart has hardened, the facts that once existed will not be erased, and those scars will still be engraved on her body.

She didn't want to mention it, so Tang Sixian stopped asking, but changed the subject: "My sister also wants to see my aunt very much. I wonder if my aunt is willing to recognize her?"

"I planned to return to Raozhou with Alang and the others after I finished helping Zhou's house tomorrow. Since... I met you, I will stay one more day and you all come to find me the day after tomorrow!" Your sister, you are not allowed to disclose my affairs to anyone."

"I promise my aunt."

Tang Sixian withdrew some unnecessary information, and only told Tang Qingman how she found Tang Concubine, and said: "By the way, sister, aunt doesn't seem to like the Tang family very much, so if you let her She knew that the purpose of Dad's asking us to come back was to return to the Tang family, and my aunt might be angry, so if my aunt asked, she would say that we came back to look for her."

Tang Qingman looked at her quietly, she thought Tang Qingman was not satisfied with this arrangement.

"Sister?"

Tang Qingman came back to his senses, then smiled: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Tang Sixian said "Father" naturally just now, and she is more and more used to this identity now, which shows that she has begun to accept that they are a family.

Tang Qing thought to herself, at this time, even if she and Tang Concubine did not recognize each other, she was no longer alone.

"Then sister, you are busy. I have something to do when I go out." Tang Sixian said again.

Tang Qingman nodded, watched her go out, and then suddenly realized, what could happen to Tang Sixian going out now?I'm afraid he's going to settle accounts with Zhang Hu again?

Thinking of this, she was afraid that Tang Sixian would be impulsive, so she wanted to rush over.But she didn't know where Zhang's family was, so after thinking about it, she could only go to Qin Zhen.

Qin Zhen was a little surprised when he heard the whole story, "When Tang Dalang rejected Zhang Hu, he still asked a matchmaker to propose marriage?"

After thinking about it for a while, he figured it out, "I think Zhang Hu misunderstood Tang Dalang's meaning, and thought that the Zhang family's marriage proposal was too perfunctory, and there was no matchmaker's advice, so he found a matchmaker in the village."

"I don't know how Sixian told Zhang Hu. Now, will Sixian go to Zhang Hu to settle accounts?"

Qin Zhen said with a smile: "If you care about it, you will be chaotic. In my opinion, she will not act recklessly this time. But if you haven't seen it with your own eyes, you must not feel at ease. Then I will accompany you for a walk!"

The two went to Zhang Hu's house. Outside the door, they could hear a shrill voice cursing inside: "I also heard that the siblings were expelled from the house by the Tang family, and they are lonely in the village. I just took over this matter for you. Unexpectedly, the pair of siblings are simply unreasonable and stubborn! I advise you to stop thinking about it as soon as possible and marry such a woman back. "

"Although Tang Sixian really likes to stir up trouble, but we saw that the girl is very gentle and gentle, could it be your mistake?" Someone asked.

"It is said that the elder sister is like a mother, and their siblings have no father or mother, so Tang Sixian still doesn't regard his sister as his mother? Marrying her is just an extra burden. Isn't Tang Sixian enough for you to have a headache? When the time comes, Tang Sixian Cause trouble outside and implicate you? I have always been a matchmaker with conscience, and I can't do such a wicked thing!"

Tang Qingman was expressionless when he heard it. Although there was a little smile on Qin Zhen's face, it was too ambiguous and seemed a little unfathomable.

"It seems that Sixian really didn't come here, let's go back!" Tang Qingman tugged on Qin Zhen's sleeve.

Qin Zhen smiled and said: "She won't come here to make trouble, which doesn't mean she's not here. Zhang Hu should be working in the field at this time, let's go over there and have a look!"

When they came to the Zhang family's rented field, they saw Tang Sixian under a tree.Zhang Hu stood in front of her, but it seemed that the two of them did not argue, it seemed that she was "reasoning" with Zhang Hu.

"I made it very clear what I told you last time. My elder sister doesn't like you to propose marriage to her. But you actually went to the matchmaker to propose marriage. Do you know that with the matchmaker's mouth, within a day, your proposal of marriage will be over." It will spread throughout the village, and at the same time, everyone will know that you have failed to propose a marriage, so they will give pointers to you and my sister..." Tang Sixian rolled his eyes.

Zhang Hu was immersed in the frustration of failing to propose marriage, and his face was a little gray. Hearing this, he muttered: "I thought you meant that I don't want to be so perfunctory in proposing marriage, and you want the matchmaker's words to be more formal."

Tang Sixian choked, didn't she mean that Tang Qingman didn't like him, that's why he refused to propose marriage?But anyone with a little self-knowledge will not be wrong.

However, considering cultural differences, she reflected that her words were too euphemistic, and straight-minded people simply could not understand so many twists and turns.

"Then let me tell you bluntly now, no matter what kind of matchmaker you find to propose marriage, my sister will never agree to it. You should die as soon as possible." Tang Si enviously said.

"Besides, I'm talking to you nicely now because I promised others not to take the initiative to cause trouble, but it doesn't mean that you still have a chance. It is true that the matchmaker you found was right. Our siblings are now If we are poor and white, no one from a wealthy family will think highly of us. But rather than lacking, I will not let my elder sister marry a fool who pretends to be someone else."

Tang Sixian poked Zhang Hu's chest, and said in a low voice: "I don't care who you secretly admire, but don't think of treating my sister as your next best thing."

Zhang Hu's chest hurt from being poked by her, but he didn't dare to fight back, for fear of being beaten up. Although he is darker than Tang Sixian and looks stronger, in fact he is a knuckle shorter than Tang Sixian .In addition, he was already afraid of Tang Sixian, so when he faced Tang Sixian, his momentum was even weaker.

"Don't appear in front of my sister in the future, and take a detour when you see her, do you understand?"

Zhang Hu nodded painfully.

"As for the matchmaker hired by your family, go back and tell her that even if my eldest sister, Tang Sixian, wants to be a matchmaker, she will look for an official matchmaker in a purple dress, not someone like her. She despises us, we Still despise her!"

Zhang Huxin said that she was dreaming, but how dare he say such words, he nodded in response.

When he was about to leave, he turned his head and saw Qin Zhen and Tang Qingman, and he knew that their conversation just now had been overheard.My heart suddenly became cold, and I didn't have the face to see them again, so I ran away without saying a word.

Qin Zhen smiled and said: "Speaking such big words, I'm not afraid of flashing my tongue!"

Tang Sixian thought that she hadn't caused any trouble, but was just reasoning with Zhang Hu, so she wasn't afraid of them suddenly appearing.She said: "What big talk? That's my confidence in the future!"

After thinking about it, I was a little upset, "You guys followed me, do you think I will run to Zhang's house and knock down their roof before giving up?"

Qin Zhen and Tang Qingman looked at each other, and they both burst out laughing, obviously acquiescing that her guess was right.

Tang Sixian was in a good mood and didn't care about them: "The Zhou family settled the final payment today, and they have already saved enough money to buy the house title deed. I will go to Wang Xilai to find out if his house is for sale."

A catty of fish balls costs 880 Wen, and fifty catties sells for [-] Wen, plus a mandarin fish weighing two catties is worth about [-] Wen. Tang Sixian gave a little discount, thirty mandarin fish In the end, I made two thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight coins.

The Zhou family paid a part of the deposit earlier, and today they settled the remaining 4000 Wen, and Tang Sixian had enough money to save [-].

Only now did Qin Zhen know that they originally planned to buy a house, and she asked, "Have you decided to buy the Wang family's house?"

"It's not clear whether the Wang family is willing to sell it. If not, I'm afraid we have to find another piece of land and build a new home."

Qin Zhen thought about it: "The location of Wang's house is remote, relatively secluded, and less disturbing. However, there are forests nearby, overgrown with weeds, and there are many snakes, insects, rats and ants. If you like quietness, it is best to choose Wang's house, but if you choose Wang's house, it will be better for you to choose Wang's house." In spring and summer, it is inevitable that snakes and insects will enter the house..."

When she said this, Tang Sixian and Tang Qingman immediately had goosebumps, and asked: "Then, according to the little lady, is there a more suitable house than the Wang family?"

Qin Zhen shook his head: "No."

Tang Sixian: "..."

So was it to scare her?

Tang Qingman didn't feel that Qin Zhen was teasing them, she asked: "Then we have no choice but to rebuild a few houses?"

Qin Zhen said with a smile: "It's not necessary. To rebuild the house, you need to buy land and hire a carpenter to build it. It costs more than buying a house. The Wang family is too simple, so if you can buy it, you can repair the house and the courtyard wall The vacant land in front of and behind the Wang family’s house can also be bought to remove weeds and prevent snakes, rats and ants from building nests there. If it is expanded in the future, there is no need to buy additional land.”

"It's a good idea, and Mrs. Zhen thought it through!" Tang Qingman praised her good sister without hesitation.

Tang Sixian wanted to say that she had thought about this a long time ago, but she hadn't had time to discuss it with her, but seeing that the two were chatting with great interest, she didn't disappoint.

Tang Qingman also shared with her good sisters the good news of her finding Tang Concubine. Tang Sixian wanted to stop it, but it was too late, so he could only add: "Auntie, she doesn't seem to want others to know about her, so I would like to invite you The lady will keep it a secret for us."

"Okay." Qin Zhen said a simple word, but it did what he said.

She was not interested in the secrets of other people's families, but after this period of time, after helping Tang Sixian to find out more about Tang Concubine, she also became curious about this mysterious and rebellious woman.

She is also a rebellious person in her heart who is unwilling to succumb to the world.But Tang Concubine at least had the guts to refuse the marriage, and she couldn't resist her parents making the marriage for her, so she could only use some small means to make that day come as late as possible.

Tang Qingman had never met Tang Concubine, and all the news he could get came from Tang Sixian, so he didn't continue this topic except to express her joy and expectation to Qin Zhen.

On the second day after Zhou Gan's [-]th birthday, Tang Sixian and Tang Qingman arrived at Zhou's house early.

At the back door of Zhou's house, Tang Yu had also been waiting there very early. The moment she saw Tang Qingman, she had already confirmed that these were indeed her two nephews and nieces.

In Tang Sixian's body, she couldn't find much shadow of her younger brother Tang Caihou. At that time, she only thought that it was because they had been separated for too long, so her memory became blurred.But now that she saw Tang Qingman, she realized that it was only because of her daughter, Father Xiao.

"Morning, aunt!" Tang Sixian greeted him proactively.

Tang Concubine paused again. If her memory is correct, although her brother is sometimes quite irritable and bold, he is definitely not as sunny and familiar as his "son".

When Tang Qingman saw his relatives, he was both excited and apprehensive.She was worried that Tang Concubine would be like Tang Caisheng, and she was unwilling to accept her and Tang Sixian.

But after Tang Sixian said hello, her mood quickly stabilized again - no matter whether her aunt was willing to accept them or not, she still had at least one "brother".

"Auntie, this is my sister, her name is Qingman." Tang Si smiled enviously, "I felt a little familiar when I saw my aunt before, but today when my aunt and sister are standing together, I don't know why I feel this way. You are so alike."

Tang Yu also recalled the first time she met Tang Sixian, seeing him staring at her, which made her unhappy.

In this way, she misunderstood her "nephew".

Tang Qingman called out: "Auntie."

Concubine Tang came back to her senses, and smiled from the bottom of her heart: "It's the first time I know that Caihou still has children alive, and you have traveled all the way back to find me, you must have suffered a lot along the way!"

Tang Si looked at his heart enviously, but Tang Qingman was very touched, and his eyes turned red.Seeing this, Tang Concubine sighed, stepped forward and hugged her, "It's been more than 20 years."

The aunt and nephew somehow resonated, and then both shed tears.

Tang Sixian scratched her ears, wondering if she should cry with her at this time, or comfort them first?

The author has something to say: Tang Moujian: Of course I was crying!

Tang Concubine (slap): A man does not flick his tears easily, why are you crying?Don't cry!

Tang Moujian: ...Are all your aunts and nephews so double-standard?

-

That's right, Tang Moujian promised others not to cause trouble, and this "other" is..., so Tang Moujian will try his best to "reasonable" with people before doing things...
