Husband and Father Youwei

Talking with the villagers along the way, I arrived at Zhao's house.Although Tu Lin came this time mainly to tell the village chief that he was going to move to the village, but Tu Xinmei also had to say something here, and by the way, told Tu Xinmei about the separation of the family, so that she could be completely relieved.

Tu Xinmei knew that Tu Lin would come today, so she had been waiting at home all the time. When she saw Tu Lin coming, she hurriedly pulled him into the house, and couldn't wait to ask how Tu Lin's family was doing.

Tu Lin told Tu Xinmei the details of the family division. When Tu Xinmei heard that Tu's father really wanted to confuse their mother's dowry property, she couldn't help being angry and disappointed. Fortunately, in the end, Tu Lin followed her advice. Only when the deceased grandmother was moved out did Father Tu fail to succeed.

Then Tu Lin told Tu Xinmei that their family planned to move to the house of Ruan Tang's family in Zhuxi Village.Tu Xinmei didn't know why Tu Lin suddenly wanted to move, but when she heard that Ruan Tang agreed, she couldn't help but look at Ruan Tang in surprise.

But when Tu Lin told him that Mrs. Li and Li Chengxiang had brought the villagers of Lijiagou into trouble in the old house and injured Ruan Tang, Tu Xinmei was trembling with anger, and she didn't have the heart to think about Ruan Tang. Then he yelled at the Li family and the Li family members.

After scolding enough, the anger in her heart vented a little, and Tu Xinmei calmed down.At this time, she knew that it was imperative for Tu Lin to move, and since Tu Lin had to go to the county town after Tu Lin, she called her husband, Zhao Changping, and went to Zhu Lin with Tu Lin and Ruan Tang without further delay. At the home of the village head of Xicun, Tu Lin stayed at Zhao's house to play with Zhao Lingling and the others.

The head of Zhuxi Village is called Sun Jinlai, a middle-aged man in his forties with a simple and honest appearance. It is said that his father, Mr. Chen, was the previous head of Zhuxi Village, and he took over as the head of the village after his death last year. What opinion.

Although Sun Jinlai is nearly twice as old as Tu Lin, no matter from Ruan Tang's place or from Tu Xinmei's Zhao family, they are all of the same generation, so Tu Lin called him "Brother Chen" and said that he planned to move. Talk about going to Ruan Tang.

Sun Jinlai was naturally puzzled at first, and didn't understand how to move suddenly.Tu Lin knew that sooner or later news about Lijiagou would come out, so he had no intention of hiding it, and simply told Sun Jinlai what happened.

Tu Xinmei spoke for Tu Lin on the sidelines. When Tu Lin said that he beat up several people in Lijiagou by himself, he hurriedly explained to Sun Jinlai that her younger brother was by no means a vicious person. She was caught, and she beat someone to save Ruan Tang. Her younger brother had been stronger than others since he was a child, and he did so when he was in a hurry.

But Sun Jinlai didn't seem to care whether Tu Lin was vicious or not, but asked Ruan Tang where he was hurt, and was it serious?After Ruan Tang said that he was fine and recovered, he was relieved.Although he and Ruan Tang's father were a generation behind, their relationship was very good, and seeing Ruan Tang grow up, he naturally cared about him in his heart.

Although Tu Lin is not from Zhuxi Village, since Tu Xinmei married into Zhuxi Village, he has come here two or three times a year, so Sun Jinlai is no stranger to him, and he knows that he is an honest and righteous person. As a man, Sun Jinlai was understandable about those fights, so he didn't really care.

The left and right Ruan Tang agreed as the owner of the house, and Tu Xinmei and Zhao Changping were on the sidelines to make peace. Sun Jinlai had nothing to disagree with when Tu Lin moved to Zhuxi Village to temporarily live in the Ruan family's house, and he readily agreed. down.

Seeing that Sun Jinlai agreed, Tu Lin and the others were fine, but Tu Xinmei was overjoyed.Although she has a lot of fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters, the only one she worries about is her brother Tu Lin. She used to live far away, so she could only go back and visit occasionally, but now they are going to live in the same village. Under her nose, she can always watch over her, and she doesn't have to worry about it every day but can't do anything like before.

Because they still had to go to the county seat, Tu Lin and the others couldn't stay longer, so they quickly got up and said goodbye. Tu Lin didn't hide what he was going to the county seat, and told Sun Jinlai directly.When Sun Jinlai heard that Tu Lin would burn charcoal and sold the charcoal to rich families in the county, he couldn't help but sighed, and even praised Tu Lin, while Tu Xinmei looked very proud.

After leaving Sun Jinlai's house, they didn't go back to Zhao's house, but after saying goodbye to Tu Xinmei, they planned to drive the mule cart directly to the county seat.At this time, Tu Xinmei noticed that Tu Lin and the others did not ride in the original ox cart but a mule cart. After hearing that Tu Lin bought it for more than ten taels of silver, she couldn't help but feel bad, but she bought everything. She didn't say anything more.

After leaving Zhuxi Village, they went straight to the county seat. After paying the entrance fee and entering the county seat, Tu Lin and the others went straight to Zhou's house.The servants at the gate of the Zhou family had obviously been ordered. As soon as Tu Lin and the others reported their names and explained their purpose of coming, they were invited in. As for the mule cart and charcoal, they were handed over to the servants of the Zhou family.

It was still the small hall where we stayed last time. As soon as we walked in, Tu Lin and the others thought about what happened here a few days ago, and that beautiful young master Zhou Qi.

Tu An still remembered that when Zhou Yan, the third master of the Zhou family, said that Zhou Qi was ill and could not come with him when he came to thank him, when he arrived at Zhou's house, he heard Tu Lin mention Zhou Qi again, and couldn't help saying: "Last time Uncle Zhou said that Zhou Qi's illness It's not serious, and I don't know if it's better now?"

Whether Zhou Qi is recovering or not, Tu Lin and Ruan Tang naturally don't know, and the familiar Steward Wang and Mr. Qian are no longer there, so they have no one to ask, but they don't want to say that Cao Cao will be there soon, just listen to the rumors from the small hall There came a familiar immature but clear voice, "Tu An—"

Tu Lin and Ruan Tang followed the sound and saw Zhou Qi suddenly appearing outside the small hall, and ran towards Tu An with a look of surprise.He was dressed in a pink and green silk dress, which made his delicate and pretty face look redder and whiter, like a little golden boy sitting down by Guanyin, but he didn't show any sickness, he should have recovered.

Seeing Zhou Qi, Tu An also smiled and called his name.At this moment, Tu Lin and Ruan Tang had already looked behind Zhou Qi, a young woman in her twenties who was walking into the hall a few steps behind Zhou Qi.

The woman has beautiful eyebrows, apricot eyes, Qiong nose and cherry lips, and her appearance is impeccably exquisite. She is dressed in an apricot yellow dress and wraps a slender and graceful figure. She is actually a stunning beauty at a glance.

And the one who followed the young woman half a step away was Mr. Qian, whom both Tu Lin and Ruan Tang were familiar with. In addition, there were several little maids and Zhou Qi's nanny falling behind the young woman and Mr. Qian.

The young woman and Mr. Qian and his party soon came to the hall. Naturally, Tu Lin and Ruan Tang had already stood up, but they didn't know the woman, so they didn't speak first, but looked at Qian with doubts and inquiries. gentlemen.

Mr. Qian took a step forward and introduced to Tu Lin and Ruan Tang respectfully: "Brother Tu, brother Ruan, I'm neglecting you. Let me introduce you. This is my third wife."

Then he said to the young woman, the third wife: "Madam, these two are Brother Tu and Brother Ruan who saved Master Qi a few days ago."

Third lady?Tu Lin thought that Zhou Yan was called the third master by Mr. Qian, so the woman in front of him should be Zhou Yan's wife and Zhou Qi's mother.It's no wonder that Zhou Qi has such a beautiful face, which turned out to be inherited from her mother.

After thinking about it, Tu Lin and Ruan Tang nodded slightly to the third lady, and said, "So it's the third lady, be polite."

"Brother Tu, Brother Ruan, you two are very polite." Mrs. Zhou opened her lips and nodded lightly with a smile. She was instantly beaming, as if the room was filled with radiance, and her voice was soft and pleasant.

"The last time the two benefactors rescued the dog, I am so grateful that I can't remember it. I couldn't come to the door to thank the dog because of the sudden discomfort. I hope the two benefactors will forgive me. The two benefactors treat the dog I can't repay you for saving my life, please accept my concubine's obeisance." Speaking of Wednesday, Mrs. Zhou folded her hands and bowed her knees again, bowing to Tu Lin and Ruan Tang.

"Madame Wednesday doesn't need to be like this, please hurry up." Both Tu Lin and Ruan Tang said, but it was different from Zhou Yan's thanksgiving before. Madam helped her up.

Mrs. Zhou has already learned from Steward Wang that Tu Lin and the others will come again today, so she has been waiting at home. After all, she is the savior of her son, and the Zhou family is a scholarly family that pays attention to etiquette and education, so she always wants to say thank you in person. is.

However, on Wednesday Mrs. Zhou thanked Tu Lin and Ruan Tang, but she was not finished. After getting up, she said to Zhou Qi: "Qi'er, come here and kneel down, and kowtow to the two benefactors."

Zhou Qi was still talking to Tu An at first, but when she heard Mrs. Wednesday calling him, she hurriedly ran to Mrs. Wednesday's side, showing no reluctance on her face, and knelt down to Tu Lin and Ruan Tang.

How could Tu Lin and Ruan Tang make Zhou Qi really kneel down to them, and Zhou Qi, a child, didn't have to be as scruples as he was with Mrs. Zhou just now, so he directly stepped forward to help Zhou Qi up, and said, "No, no, hurry up!" stand up."

I just didn't want Zhou Qi to take two steps back after being supported by him, then knelt down again, and said in her mouth: "Zhou Qi thank Uncle Tu and Uncle Ruan for saving us." Tu Lin and Ruan Tang kowtowed.

On the side, Mrs. Zhou didn't speak, she just looked at Zhou Qi with a smile on her face, and nodded with satisfaction.

Tu Lin and Ruan Tang looked at each other, and they both saw a little helplessness and sigh in each other's eyes. The Zhou family's tutoring is indeed extremely strict this week, and although Mrs. Zhou looks weak and weak, she doesn't want to be in front of Zhou Qi. It is extremely majestic, and it is also true that it cannot be judged by its appearance.

Zhou Qi's head had already been kowtowed, so Tu Lin stepped forward to help him up, but Mrs. Zhou looked at Tu An who was on the side, couldn't help smiling and took a step forward, bent down and said to Tu An: "This is Xiao An, right?" Good boy, Auntie also wants to thank you, thank you for helping Auntie find my little brother."

Tu An quickly shook his head and said, "You're welcome, you're welcome."

Although Tu An said no thanks, Mrs. Zhou also wanted to thank her, so she waved to the maid who came with her, and the maid stepped forward to open the wooden box that she had been holding in her hand all along. It is a row of twelve twelve-inch porcelain zodiac signs that are exquisitely crafted and lifelike.

Mrs. Zhou pointed to the twelve zodiac signs in the wooden box and said to Tu An: "Xiao An is so good. Auntie likes you very much. This is a gift from auntie. Do you like it?"

As soon as the wooden box was opened just now, Tu An's gaze was immediately attracted to him. The bright eyes showed that he obviously liked it, but when Mrs. Zhou asked this question, he didn't answer immediately, but turned his head to look at it. To Ruan Tang and Tu Lin.

Tu Lin saw that the wooden box was just some porcelain trinkets, and he thought it was not something valuable, so he nodded slightly to Tu An, and then Tu An said happily: "I like it, thank you auntie."

"As long as Xiao An likes it." Mrs. Zhou patted Tu An's head, and the maid on the side put the wooden box into Tu An's hand.
