TFFFS Chapter 19

Chapter 019 - Enthusiasm

Tang Chunrong is different from Zhao Pingchuan, who is a scholar. When the school is on vacation during the busy farming season, he will work in the fields with his mother after returning home. Unlike Zhao Pingchuan, who only needs to open his mouth and reach out for food.

Later, Zhang Xiu came to see his son and Tang Chunming after finishing his household chores and helped with some work together. At the end of the day, nearly an acre (43,560 square feet/4,047 m²) of land in the backyard was neatly tidied up.

Tang Chunming called the village bullock cart to take Ah-Rong back and advised him, "Discuss with Amu well and don't screw it up. You should know that the most important thing to your Amu is his son, so even if he opposes it for a moment, he will still follow your wishes in the end."

"Don't worry, brother. I've grown up and become sensible, and I won't make my Amu angry. Be careful when you're alone at home, and if you have anything to do, just send a message to my school or my Amu." Tang Chunrong waved his hand and sat on the bullock cart, urging him to hurry back.

"Da Mao said, you want follow uncel to go to the county with him?" After returning home, Zhang Xiu, who was accompanying Ah-Lin and waiting for Tang Chunming, asked him.

"Yeah, I'm going to get moldy after staying at home during this time, so I just took Ah-Lin with me to have experience to learn a lot." Tang Chunming replied with this excuse.

"Then you should be careful on the road. If it wasn't for the fact that the work in Dashan Town hasn't finished yet, and the family can't leave anyone, maybe I'll go with you too, and I can watch you." Zhang Xiu said regretfully.

"There's Shen Fulang here, there is nothing to worry about."

Tang Chunming kept the bag of candy brought by his younger brother, except for a piece that Ah-Lin left for him. As a reward for the three children's daily homework, he was so happy that they could eat it during the Chinese New Year.  On some, Amu is usually very economical.

As for the rumors circulating in the village a while ago, it turned out that Tang Chunming's guess was correct. 

This result was obtained by Da Mao and Er Mao from the mouths of other children. When Zhang Xiu told Tang Chunming, he shook his head in silence. No wonder Da Mao Er Mao always asked him a few days ago how to write some new words, which were originally used for diplomacy with other children.

Rural people are not as particular as big families, which they avoid children when they say gossip, and sometimes the words that come out of a child's mouth are more real.  

Da Mao and Er Mao used teaching other children how to write their names as a diplomatic means to find out the source of the rumors in the village from their mouths, and it turned out that they really found out about cause, the husband of Li Conggen's family.

Tang Chunming felt that both Da Mao and Er Mao were quite clever through this matter. He could come up with such a way, and when he earned money to buy pens, ink, and paper, he needed to put more effort into them. Anyway, as his stomach grew bigger, he couldn't help but stay at home. This is also the main reason why he wants to quickly earn a sum of money.

Having children and raising them costs a lot of money, and he doesn't have the time to struggle outside, so he always needs to have a sum of money in his hand to feel secure.

It was bright early in the morning, Tang Chunming took Ah-Lin and locked the door, handed the key to Zhang Xiu and asked him to help look after the house and the small animals in the house. 

One big and one small came to Li Zheng's house.  Shen Fulang is also ready, but to his surprise, Tang Chunming saw another protagonist who had been rumored a few days ago, Li Feng. He remembered that he had been busy tidying up the fields these days and forgot that his(LF) house had already been repaired and had already moved back to the village. Da Mao Er Mao was eager to be persuaded by Zhang Xiu because he had just moved back and was quite busy tidying up the house. It seemed that Zhang Xiu had gone to help him once.

As soon as Shen Fulang saw Tang Chunming appear, he said to him, "Brother Ming, this is Feng Xiaozi(Feng boy/young fellow Feng/kid Feng). You recognize him, and he happened to be going to the county today, so we can take a ride with him. We can be more safe with him along the way."

Shen Fulang was not unaware of the rumors in the village, but he was very clear about the situation between the two. He knew from Zhang Xiu that Brother Ming didn't mind at all, and he had nothing to avoid.

In fact, not many people in the village would bring the two together. After all, although Li Feng is older, he is still an unmarried man, and Tang Chunming has two children. Well, of course, those who have been married and are burdened by children can only find a man who also same has no husband(dead) and wants to remarry.

Of course Tang Chunming had no objection: "I just need to get a ride. Besides, last time Ah-Lin was bullied, it was because of the help of this big brother. Ah-Lin, call him Uncle Feng."

"Uncle Feng." Ah-lin grabbed his Amu by the corner of his clothes, his dark eyes already seeing Li Feng and showing a cute smile. It can be seen that the events of that day have always been remembered by his son.

"Good boy, uncle will take you in a big cart, come here." Li Feng knelt down and stretched out his hand, Ah-Lin turned around to ask his mother's opinion, Tang Chunming nodded, Ah-Lin let go of his hand and walked towards Li Feng, He was picked up high by Li Feng and was frightened that he quickly put his arms around Li Feng's neck, and giggled after a while.

"Let's go too, everything is loaded on the cart, come on, I'll help you, be careful where you step." Shen Fulang was also a little surprised that Li Feng and Xiao Ah-lin got along so well, but it's important to take care of Brother Ming.

The cart was pulled by a large young mule, which was the livestock of Li Zheng's family. After Shen Fulang and Tang Chunming got on the cart, Li Feng, who was sitting on the shaft of the cart, turned around and handed Ah-Lin to Shen Fulang.  Ah-Lin also obediently didn't want to squeeze beside Amu, the mule cart started to move slowly after Li Feng gave a sound of driving.

There are not many families in the village who can afford livestock. The big young mule of the Lizheng family is for their own use. Another family in the village has a ox with is Zhao Laoliu, the third uncle of the Zhao family, but their family conditions are much worse than the Li Zheng family, his family's ox are except for farming during busy farming hours, usually come and go between the village and the town. People in the village can go back and forth for two yuan. Zhao Laoliu relies on these to support his family.  Before, he sent Tang Churong by calling Zhao Laoliu family ox cart to take his younger brother home.

When Li zheng family uses a big young mule to go out, if he meets a villager on the road, he will take it with him for free. Those who were greedy for small bargains or wanted to save a penny or two for exchange snacks for their children had already inquired about the itinerary time and waited by the roadside. 

As a result, when they arrived at the village entrance, several people came up, full of people on the cart. Ah-lin had been sitting obediently in Shen Fulang's arms, not as lively as before when there were no outsiders. 

Among the people who came up here, Tang Chunming was very familiar with the husband of Li Conggen's family. Seeing him greet him with a smile, Tang Chunming felt that this person's face was unusually thick.

In fact, the town and county town are not in the same direction, but after putting them down at a fork in the road, they only need to walk a little more to reach the town, which saves a penny. At the intersection, Zhao Laoliu's ox cart was also there. He saw the big young mule from Li Zheng's house raising his voice and saying hello to Shen Fulang, "Are you going to the county to see two children again"

"That's right, I'm not worried about whether they can't eat well or wear warm clothes, just send something over, Uncle Liu, We go first." Shen Fulang replied with a smile.

"Well, be careful on the road, but today there is a Feng xiaozi driving a cart for you, which is a big deal and it's alright, haha." Zhao Laoliu is also a cheerful person, who looks about fifty or sixty years old.

After Tang Chunming smiled at Li Conggen's family at first, he was very quiet in the car, and the latter's characteristic high-pitched voice pierced his eardrums. Tang Chunming felt his noise from the very beginning. Very distinctive, just like the third type of person in the ancient palace of the earth, the eunuch, grinning like an old hen that has just laid eggs.

The old hen grinned again: "Do you know why Zhang Lanhua has been hiding at home for the past few days? I went to his house to see it yesterday. Oh, that one was beaten badly. It's both sides of his face still swollen, and I couldn't even speak clearly, which made me almost unrecognizable. No wonder Zhang Lanhua is still thinking about Huang Sigou in his heart. If you want me to say, Huang Sigou's family is poor, but he definitely wouldn't hit their own ger."

Some people couldn't see Conggen's gloat, and said, Didn't you have a good time with him, and you're actually laughing and talking about him behind his back, and you don't think, if what you thought is heard by the head of the family, and he get beaten up a lot again. You still think he wasn't miserable enough.

And he didn't say what was in his heart, it's eight lifetimes of bad luck following the Gen Jiade. Although Zhang Lanhua asked for it, every time he was beaten up like this by a man, some people still sympathized with him. After all, everyone is a married man, and who would not want their own man to be a loving ger.

Conggen's jiade('old'wife') didn't take it seriously at all, and he chuckled and said, "What did I say? It's not like everyone else said that."

His eyes turned to Tang Chunming, who looked down and seemed to be submissive, "I didn't say that, Brother Ming, if you want to remarry, you should choose it yourself. Brother Ming is literate and has a good eye. If you like my nephew, how about this uncel let you to..."

"Enough, shut your stinky mouth, or you can go down and walk on your own." Shen Fulang was annoyed, and the parties involved are all here, and the Gen family has nothing to hide from their mouths. Do you think others are as shameless as him?

Can Tang Chunming still be the quiet and thin skinned guy in his eyes? Didn't my actions in the village change people's impression of me?

But is Tang Chunming still the silent and thin-skinned brother in his eyes now? Didn't his actions in the village change people's impression of him?

 scolded by Shen Fulang so much that they pouted. However, he also knew that Shen Fulang was not just talking, but he would really drive him down. At this moment, Tang Chunming looked up at him and bared his white teeth, When he was dizzy, he heard him say:

"I really didn't know that the Conggen family cared so much about me, and I didn't even intend to remarry myself. The members of the Gen family warmly helped me open up the village. It was Brother Li Feng and his friend Brother Yu Mu. What you said to Zhang Lanhua under the old locust tree last time has reached my ears. I really don't know that I can provoke two men at the same time, since the Gen family is so enthusiastic, why don't you teach me how to do it? But next time, don't bring me together with other unmarried men, Otherwise, i'm ger with child will be almost become the enemy of the unmarried little ger in the village."

Not only did the other guys in the car look surprised when he said this, but even Li Feng, who was driving in front of the car, couldn't help but look back and his clenched fists relaxed. When Well, when Uncle pulled him on the head just now, he really wanted to punch him, regardless of his kinship.

A slightly older brother puffed out a sound of joy: "It turns out that some time ago, in the village explained that ger and so on are all passed down from the Gen jiade, oops. Ah, ah , you really care about your eldest nephew, you returned the house as soon as he came back, And also arranged a marriage for the eldest nephew. But I said for he Gen jiade, Yu mu is a military master, maybe he has already seen his ger in the city, you should just take care of Feng xiaozi alone, and Brother Ming has said that now, If he have no intention of remarrying, then you should spend more time helping your nephew find another ger from a good family. "

"That's right, Feng xiaozi is not young anymore. You should be more careful as a uncle," another person agreed.

"That's right, Feng xiaozi," even Shen Fulang joked as he joined the crowd.

"What kind of ger are you looking for? Let's talk to your uncle first, so he can help you arrange things."

Li Feng glanced back depressedly, and saw Tang Chunming's smirk and other people's jokes. Of course, Cong Gen's expression, which seemed to have a mouthful of old blood, made him feel a little bit better.

He replied in a buzzing voice, "As long as he is a kind-hearted person who is good at managing a house, don't be that kind of malicious person. You will faint with a bowl of water and be sent to a place where you can't go home. As a result, you will fall ill halfway and almost lose your life"

At first, Tang Chunming thought that Li Feng was seriously explaining the criteria for seeing his ger. Unexpectedly, Feng turned his spear and pointed it directly at his uncle, revealing the truth of being conscripted at the beginning. No wonder the few people who had returned at the beginning said they didn't know his whereabouts. It turned out that he was sick halfway through the journey, which delayed his separation from the others. 

The people on the cart all looked at Li Conggen's Jiade with condemning eyes, only to the extent that he(LC jiade) cursed in his heart how this bastard didn't die on the battlefield, and no one forced him to spit out what he had suffer.
