Kong Yueqing stopped and turned to give a salute. She opened and closed her red lips and said, "I would also like to thank my second uncle for taking care of my niece's marriage."
"Haha, they are all family members. To say thank you is to be alienated." Kong Yinjing stroked his beard and laughed, and then warned, "Live a good life at your husband's house, and come back to see your parents when you have the chance."
"My niece has taken note of it." Kong Yueqing saluted, turned and walked towards the carriage outside the courtyard.
Kong Shangyun, who put the package on the carriage, stood beside the carriage.
He saw his sister coming over and helped her get into the carriage.
Kong Yueqing, who got into the carriage, lifted the curtain on the carriage window, looked at Kong Yinfan outside the carriage and said, "Dad, go back, my daughter is gone."
"Qing'er, when you marry someone else, you must honor your parents-in-law." Kong Yinfan said with reluctance in his eyes.
Kong Yueqing nodded slightly and replied: "Daughter, remember, brother, sister is not with your parents, you have to take good care of your parents and avoid causing trouble to your parents."
"Don't worry, sister, I will definitely take good care of my parents in the future." Kong Shangyun said loudly through the car window.
Kong Yueqing reached out and touched Kong Shangyun's head.
"Fifth brother, it's almost time to hit the road!" Kong Yinjing walked over from the yard.
Kong Yueqing in the carriage looked at her father and brother reluctantly, and said with tears in her eyes: "Dad, brother, I'm leaving, take care of yourself."
"Let's go!" Kong Yinfan waved his hand towards his daughter.
No matter how reluctant I was to give up, I could only let the carriage my daughter was riding in get on the road and leave.
"Master Kong, farewell." Xing Yun stepped forward, hugged Kong Yinfan, then turned around, waved his hand, and said, "Let's get on the road."
Snapped!
The driver cracked the whip in his hand and drove the animals pulling the cart forward slowly.
A firecracker crackled.
Xing Yun mounted his horse and led more than thirty of his men, following the carriage towards the village.
Kong Yinjing and other adults stood in front of the courtyard gate, watching the team until they disappeared from sight before looking back.
"Fifth brother, the fields will be sent to you tomorrow. Today you go back and spend time with the fifth sister-in-law. The eldest niece has just left, and I think the fifth sister-in-law will be reluctant to part with her." Kong Yinjing said to Kong Yinfan beside him.
Kong Yinfan nodded after hearing this.
"Okay, okay, it's all gone. Have you ever seen your daughter get married?" Kong Yinjing drove away the Kong clan members who were watching the fun, and left along with the dispersed crowd, holding his hands behind his back.
There was no more excitement to see, and the crowd quickly dispersed.
"Second son, stop looking and go home!" Kong Yinfan touched the back of his son's head with his hand.
Kong Shangyun turned around, looked at his father and said, "Dad, when will sister come back? The third aunt said that her daughter will come back after she gets married. Will sister come back when the day comes?"
"When it's time to return home, your sister will be back." Kong Yinfan rubbed Erzi's head.
But the sadness in my heart could not be wiped away.
His daughter married in Datong, and he didn't know if he would ever see his daughter again in this life.
The father and son returned to the yard side by side.
"Mom, sister is gone." Kong Shangyun saw the woman leaning at the door of the house and ran over with a cry.
The woman wriggled her dry lips a few times, then opened her mouth and asked, "Send Qing'er away?"
"Send him off." Kong Yinfan nodded in a low tone.
The woman looked absently at the outside of the fence and murmured to herself: "It's okay to leave. Marry into a wealthy family. You will be able to live a good life in the future and you will no longer have to suffer with us."
She didn't know what family her daughter was marrying into, but she would rather let herself believe that her daughter was marrying into a good family, so that she could feel more at ease.
"Don't worry, it must be a good family." Kong Yinfan stepped forward and held the woman's hands tightly.
Like the woman, he would rather believe that his daughter married into a good family.
Everyone seemed to know that their family was still immersed in the sadness of their daughter's departure, and no one from the surrounding neighbors came to the door.
At first, some were envious of their daughter being proposed for marriage by the clan elders, but now they began to sympathize with their family.
Some tribesmen even talked in private that their daughter was not married at all, but was sold to a wealthy family as a maid, and even worse things were discussed in private.
The night passed.
Kong Yueqing's marriage seems to have become a thing of the past, and life will continue to go on.
After the family had breakfast, Kong Yinfan picked up the hoe at home and went to the fields to do farm work.
And Kong Shangyun seemed to have grown up overnight and went to the fields with his father.
"Fifth brother, are you going out?"
The father and son were about to go out when Kong Yinjing wandered to the door.
When Kong Yinfan saw the visitor, although he was dissatisfied with the matchmaker for his daughter, he did not show it on his face and said politely: "There is still a lot of work to be done in the fields. Take advantage of the good weather these days and hurry up and get started." Finished."
"Yes, things in the fields are important." Kong Yinjing followed the words and then added, "Didn't I say that I would give your family five acres of land? I brought the land deed."
As he spoke, he took out a piece of yellowed paper from his sleeve pocket and handed it over.
Kong Yinfan leaned the hoe on his shoulder and took the field deed with trembling hands.
This is what the daughter bought with herself, and it will also be the most precious thing in their family.
"Okay, I'll give you the things and I'll go back." Kong Yinjing said hello and turned around to leave.
"No, this kind of thing is wrong."
After reading the land deed, Kong Yinfan hurriedly stopped Kong Yinjing who was about to leave.
Although he hasn't read many books, he can still read some simple words, so he can clearly read the contents of the field deed.
Kong Yinjing stopped, glanced at the field deed and said, "What's wrong? Isn't it five acres of land? One acre is not a lot."
"It's not like the five acres of irrigated fields in Xiwa turned into dry land on the east slope." Kong Yinfan frowned and looked at Kong Yinjing.
I want the other party to give a reasonable explanation.
Kong Yinjing smiled when he heard this and said disapprovingly: "They are all land deeds for five acres of land. There is not much difference between irrigated fields and dry land. Okay, put the land deeds away!"
"Since we promised to irrigate the fields with five acres of water, we must irrigate the fields with water." Kong Yinfan stared at Kong Yinjing and said.
There is a big difference between irrigated fields and dry fields. An acre of dry fields may only be worth seven or eight taels of silver, while an acre of good irrigated fields can be sold for twenty taels.
"Becoming an Immortal in One Step"
Moreover, the dry fields on the east slope are still saline-alkali land. If you plant grain, you won't get much harvest at all. Often you can't even harvest grain seeds, so no one is willing to plant them for free.
Kong Yinjing said with a smile: "Fifth brother, you got the land for free. You care so much about what to do. Please put away the land deed quickly. If you really break it, it will be very troublesome to get another one."
"No, five acres of water to irrigate the field is five acres of water to irrigate the field, and I didn't get this five mu of water to irrigate the field for free. My daughter paid for it with herself." Kong Yinfan was not willing to do it.
The promised five acres of watered land turned into five acres of saline-alkali land, and the bully was not that bully.
