I am busy raising my family! [travel]

Tang Yi chatted with Grandma Song for a few more words before returning home with a basket on her back.

Zhao Fei and Meng Fan had already poured the plaster into the barrel and left first. Xie Shiying was staring at the things in the barrel with his eyes empty.

He raised his head when he heard footsteps behind him, and called Tang Yi with some hesitation, "Brother Yi..."

"Are you angry?" Tang Yi casually put the basket on the ground, squatted down next to him, and spread his palms in front of Xie Shiying as if conjuring.

The palm was a chocolate ball, Tang Yi handed it to Xie Shiying, "Try it."

Xie Shiying didn't answer, he frowned slightly, pinched the fingers of his right hand with his left hand, and made up his mind.

"Brother Yi, is it too reckless for us to get married?"

Tang Yi suppressed the smile on his face, and held his hand open in front of Xie Shiying, but at this moment he felt that the chocolate ball in his palm was so heavy that it was about to crush him.

He didn't make a sound, but Xie Shiying continued, "We've only known each other for less than a month, and we only know each other on the surface. If we get married, Brother Tang will find out that I'm not what you imagined... "

Xie Shiying paused, and was about to continue talking when something was stuffed into his mouth unexpectedly.

There was a bit of bitterness on the tip of his tongue, he pressed against the ball and turned it around in his mouth, but he couldn't spit it out.

"Of course I know what you are like." Tang Yi stuffed the chocolate ball into Xie Shiying's mouth, and after thinking about his words carefully, he felt relieved.

"It's not just the engagement, the date of marriage has also been fixed, just six days later. Besides," Tang Yi paused, with a hint of doting on his face, "No matter what you are, I like it."

Tang Yi didn't think there was a problem with his vision, what's more, he could even accept the most unbearable coquettishness, even if Xie Shiying had some problems, he wouldn't mind.

He saw Xie Shiying looking up at him, his clear eyes were full of disbelief, and his heart was so soft.

Don't say that he really has some bad habits, I'm afraid that if he looks at him a few more times, he will find anything he can find, and he is willing to find it for Xie Shiying.

Thinking of this, the matter of getting married in a few days fell on Tang Yi's mind again.

"I'm going to cook first, and I have some things to go out in the afternoon." Tang Yi raised his hand and rubbed Xie Shiying's hair, and hurried into the kitchen.

Xie Shiying, who was still squatting on the ground, looked blank, then surprised, and finally frowned.

Originally, he had been looking forward to getting married, but thinking about Tang Yi's calculations today, he felt that he hadn't seen Tang Yi through. If Tang Yi really knew the lie he had told earlier, he didn't know what would happen.

But it was another reason that made him finally speak.

It's okay to pretend to be gentle and careless for a few days, but I'm afraid he will go crazy first if he pretends for a lifetime.

Xie Shiying pushed the ball in his mouth to the other side with the tip of his tongue. After suffering, there was a hint of sweetness in his mouth. He licked his lips and looked in the direction of the kitchen.

Anyway, Tang Yi has already said so, in the future it will be difficult to live with each other.

Thinking of this, Xie Shiying relaxed a lot.

Coupled with the fact that Tang Yi has been busy all day these days, he has lived a leisurely life instead.

On the same day, Tang Yi approached Lizheng and several clan elders in the village, invited them to have a meal in the town, and talked about the date of marriage, so it was settled.

Neither he nor Xie Shiying had any relatives, but in this village, when holding banquets, they didn't restrict people, and they could come over for a meal if they brought some vegetables or meat.

Tang Yi wanted to do a good job, but money was tight, and it was not easy to save a sum of money in such a short period of time.

He tossed out the things in the space and looked at them again. The ones that were too eye-catching could not be taken out, and some that could be mass-produced were short of raw materials. After all the calculations, the most lacking thing was time.

Xie Shiying slept separately from him early in the morning, and read the copied book again that day, planning to send it to the town the next day.

He put together the deposit and the silver he brought over, and planned to hand it over to Tang Yi. Together with the final payment that the shopkeeper of the bookstore allowed him, there should be 20 taels.

Tang Yi didn't sleep much all night, and tried to make tofu the next day. The money matter hadn't progressed yet, but after making the tofu a few times, the finished product came out.

"Ah Ying, come and taste, and see which one is delicious." Tang Yi tasted it by himself, but felt uneasy, so he simply served them all to Xie Shiying.

"Tofu?" Xie Shiying pinched the spoon, looked at the white tofu strips in the bowl, those white stones flashed in his mind for some reason.

Tang Yi used bone soup. Besides tofu, he also added sweet potato powder, ham sausage and green vegetables. A bowl of soup that looked ordinary was full of ingredients.

"Yeah." Tang Yi pushed the other two bowls in front of him, "Which one do you think is delicious?"

Xie Shiying turned the spoon, scooped out a spoonful from another bowl, and tasted it carefully.

"This one is sour, and this one is too tight." Neither tasted as good as the one he ate the first time.

Tang Yi drank it before, but felt that something was wrong. After hearing what Xie Shiying said, he realized the difference. He brought the other two bowls back and ate them on his own, "Then you can eat the first bowl. I'll eat the other two."

Xie Shiying watched his unobtrusive movements, and felt that the spoon in his hand weighed a thousand catties.

He hurriedly lowered his head and drank the soup again, blinking his eyes several times in a panic before he regained his composure, "Are you going to sell this soup?"

"Not yet." Tang Yi denied, selling tofu and vegetable soup alone is too bland, and adding meat is expensive, but he still can't make ham sausage.

"I," Tang Yi said, paused, and suppressed what he was about to blurt out, "I'm going to town today, do you want to go together?"

Xie Shiying didn't think too much, and nodded, "I'm going to return the book."

It's just that Tang Yi didn't expect to send him to the bookstore, so he left first.

"I'm going to prepare things for the wedding. There are too many places to go. I will pick you up when I leave." Tang Yi had a gentle face, glanced at the people in the bookstore without any trace, and finally left.

He is planning to sell one thing, not tofu soup, but tofu.

Tofu has advantages over pig red in cooking. After careful consideration, it is not a problem to make a table of tofu feast.

And it tastes soft and smooth, so it can be eaten by both young and old.

Tang Yi came out of the bookstore and went straight to the restaurant. He was more inclined to sell directly to acquaintances than to ask each one.

After all, he didn't have much time to worry about these things, and judging from the last transaction, shopkeeper Sun was still a reliable person.

He stepped into the gate of the restaurant, and as soon as he asked shopkeeper Sun, he saw that Job's expression changed.

The smile on Tang Yi's face faded a little, and he said again, "I was the one who did business with shopkeeper Sun last time, and he will know if you tell him that the pig is red."

The guy looked him up and down a few times before running back.

After a while, he came out and asked Tang Yi to go inside.

Shopkeeper Sun was sitting in the back yard, his posture was much wider than the last time we met, when he saw Tang Yi approaching, he also stood up and greeted him cheerfully.

"Brother Tang, is there anything good this time?"

"It's not as good as Shopkeeper Sun's management." Tang Yi cupped his hands and smiled.

"What's this?" Shopkeeper Sun waved his hands, the smile on his face undiminished. "These days there's a novelty in town called Rubik's Cube. I wonder if Brother Tang knows a thing or two about it?"

"I'm ashamed to say that I've been busy at home recently and planned to get married, so I didn't come to town. What is this Rubik's Cube?" Tang Yi pretended to be listening attentively.

Shopkeeper Sun's eyes flashed a few gleams, "It's not important, what good things did Brother Tang bring this time?"

"There is indeed a novel thing." Tang Yi took out a pack of square leaves from the basket, and carefully revealed the tofu inside.

He cut a piece with a knife and handed it to Shopkeeper Sun.

Although no condiments were added, shopkeeper Sun's eyes lit up when he tasted it, "What's this made of?"

"Fang Zi and these packs of tofu, ten taels." Tang Yi smiled innocently, and then said slowly.

"Brother Tang is not being kind." Shopkeeper Sun withdrew his hand, and the old god was watching him.

After all, this business failed to be completed. Shopkeeper Sun still remembered what Tang Yi said about getting married in a hurry, so he wanted to lower the price.

But Tang Yi guessed what he meant, and after talking together, he only bit the price to death without giving up a cent.

"I was talking about the price you set, Ah Ying, so don't let it slip in the future." Tang Yi had already returned to the bookstore at that time, stopped Xie Shiying from going back to copy the books, bought only a few copies, and dragged Xie Shiying As he walked out, he spoke slowly.

Xie Shiying nodded, but he was thinking about another question, "Didn't you say you won't sell prescriptions?"

"Sooner or later, it will be sold." Tang Yi shook his head, but did not mention how much money is short of getting married.

Then he talked about another thing, "When I came out of the restaurant, I was stopped by another person."

The old lady of the Lou family will celebrate her birthday next month, and the young master of the Lou family asked many ways to find a novelty, and finally sent his idea to Shopkeeper Sun.

"He offered 15 taels of prescriptions and the few pieces of tofu, and said he could sell them at will, but after next month."

"If that young master really sends this birthday present, then it will be much more convenient for us to sell it later." Xie Shiying's eyes sparkled.

Among these nobles, if there is something novel, it must be shown to everyone who comes, not to mention the food like tofu. When staying with guests, they cook two dishes and then show it off easily.

Tang Yi watched him pinch his fingers to count the days, he was in a trance for a while, and then he squeezed them.

The silver problem was solved, and the stone in his heart also fell to the ground. Now holding Xie Shiying's hand, he couldn't help thinking more.

Xie Shiying should have been pampered in the first place, but there was not a trace of calluses in his hands, but they were softer than tofu.

If you think about it this way, there should be a different style next to it, and it should be pampered.

The corners of Tang Yi's mouth curled up, and the smile on his face was a bit deep, Xie Shiying looked puzzled.

He withdrew his hand from Tang Yi, still thinking about business, "But this time we offended Shopkeeper Sun, and we might have trouble opening a shop in the town in the future."

"I will protect you." Tang Yi shook his hand, sighed in his heart, heard Xie Shiying mention the word trouble, and took it smoothly.

According to what he expected, Xie Shiying just looked at him with gratitude on his face, he was about to say something, with a moved look...

It's a pity that the truth is far from what Tang Yi thought, Xie Shiying raised his hand worriedly and touched his forehead, "Brother Yi, I was talking about shopkeeper Sun, didn't you..."

Tang Yi coughed lightly, his face full of sternness, "What I'm talking about is also serious. It doesn't matter if you can't sell it when the time comes, I will protect you."

Under his fiery gaze, Xie Shiying nodded in response.

Although he always felt that what Tang Yi said was not the same thing as what he said.

It's just that it's difficult for him to control his mind when he starts to think about some things.

Tang Yi was absent-minded along the way, and when he got home, he found an excuse to go out.

Tang Yi originally wanted to hide from Xie Shiying, but when he came out and met Chen Xing and was asked a few times, he realized that he was far from ready.

"I've prepared the dowry gift and wedding dress." Tang Yi also had a bit of embarrassment on his face. Grandma Song had told him some things before, but he forgot about it after he finished his work.

"It's still far away." Chen Xing shook his head, and after thinking about it, he dragged Tang Yi to find his grandma.

Before getting married, the house had to be tidied up, the bedding replaced, and even the banquet was particular.

"Although the quilts are in a hurry, they can still be bought." Aunt Chen is obviously more experienced, and he helped Tang Yi analyze them one by one.

For example, tables and stools for entertaining people in the village can be borrowed from someone, and the banquet, in the countryside, can be made with a few helpers.

"Grandma Chen," Tang Yi smiled wryly, "The matter of shopping is easy to solve, but I'm not sure who to ask for help."

After all, there were only a few people he was familiar with, and according to what Grandma Chen said, it would definitely not work to call them brothers.

Grandma Chen thought for a while, and thought of what his father said, she took the initiative to say, "Let me find the people who clean up and cook."

"But you still have to find the man who helps to serve the dishes by yourself."

"Thank you, Grandma Chen." Tang Yi breathed a sigh of relief, "I still have a lot of money left, so Grandma can just hire someone, as long as there are no mistakes on the wedding day."

Grandma Chen came forward, and it was a lot faster to find someone.

Early the next morning, a group of grandmas entered Tang's house and began to collect things inside and out.

Xie Shiying hugged the book and hid directly in the small study room below under the pretext of being shy. Tang Yi also wanted to hide in, but Grandma Chen caught her with sharp eyes and quick hands.

"This house is just as good as it looks on the surface. There are too many things to clean up."

Grandma Chen patted Tang Yi's arm, "Stay here and watch, you have to tell me what you can throw away, and if there are heavy objects, give me a hand."

Tang Yi couldn't shirk it, so he had to rush in and out listening to the granny's reading.

After cooking a lunch in the middle, Grandma Chen pulled her aside to talk about the banquet.

"Remember to buy the meat one day in advance. There are nine dishes in Sanhe Village, and a table for eight people. There are no strict requirements for meat and vegetables, but more than half of the meat dishes can be more than half."

"Grandma Chen can decide." Tang Yi nodded.

"What will I decide about the two of you?" Grandma Chen smiled, took out a piece of paper from her arms and patted it in Tang Yi's hand, pouted at the small study, "This is our tentative decision." Shanzi, why don't you discuss it with Brother Ying."

"I'll go right away." Tang Yi was overjoyed, holding the paper and went to knock on the door.

Xie Shiying originally opened the door to look out, but just now he saw Grandma Chen looking over, and hurriedly took a few steps back, when Tang Yi came to knock on the door, his first reaction was that his peeking had been discovered.

"Brother Yi," Xie Shiying lowered his head, with a hint of annoyance on his face.

Although he avoided people, he was still somewhat curious about the preparations for getting married. After reading for a while, he wanted to see what was going on in the yard, but he didn't see anything, but was caught first.

"Now you know you're nervous? When you left me outside alone in the morning, why didn't you feel sorry for not seeing you?" Tang Yi calmed down as soon as he entered the door. He chuckled lightly and asked in a low voice.

After being asked such a question, Xie Shiying felt a little bit guilty belatedly.

It's not that he doesn't want to help, but that the grannies who help are too enthusiastic. If they see some rare objects, he can't help but hide their eyes.

"Brother Yi," Xie Shiying looked up at Tang Yi, seeing that he didn't mean to be angry, so he blinked and said softly.

"Didn't you say you would protect me?"

Tang Yi looked down, and Xie Shiying's face was full of trust. Although there was still a bit of cunning in his eyes, it was already difficult for him to move his mind to pursue.

"Of course I will protect you well." Tang Yi raised his hand and tapped Xie Shiying's forehead, and whispered into his ear.

He turned his head to look at Xie Shiying.

The distance between the two was only a finger, Xie Shiying had no doubt that Tang Yi would kiss him the next moment, he held his breath nervously, but saw Tang Yi smiled again.

"Grandma Chen took the banquet menu, how about you take a look?"

Xie Shiying saw that he was the first to walk behind the table, and a little disappointment flashed in his lowered eyes.

He looked down at the piece of paper on the table, and didn't notice that Tang Yi was looking at him seriously.

"Why don't you add tofu?" Xie Shiying had no problem with the above dishes, but just suggested casually.

Tang Yi looked away from his profile, looked at the yellowed paper, and then turned to Xie Shiying's fingertips, "That's exactly what I mean."

"Whether they buy it or not, at least the name of this tofu will spread." Xie Shiying didn't notice his abnormality, and continued to follow Tang Yi's words.

Only then did Tang Yi come to his senses, "It's better not to release this tofu. First, I promised Mr. Lou that I will not sell it for the time being. Second,..."

He didn't intend to be chased and asked about tofu right after he got married. After all, making tofu was not his intention, and he wanted to guard this treasure at home every day.

"Huh?" Xie Shiying withdrew his finger, folded the paper and handed it to Tang Yi.

"I just said it casually. If I take it out at this time, maybe something will happen again."

"It's hot these days, and the tofu can't stand it, but it's also inconvenient to make it in front of these skillful grandmothers." Tang Yi found a reasonable excuse and said.

Preparations for the marriage are still in full swing.

When it was time to get married, Xie Shiying moved out from the Tang family again and temporarily lived in the Chen family.

Tang Yi lives in a side room looking forward to getting married, and Xie Shiying is also looking forward to going back soon.

Without him, it is really the grandma of the Chen family who is too enthusiastic.

It's only a day, and it has already gone from the process of getting married to the surgery in the house.

"Grandma Chen," Xie Shiying said with a blushing face. He had read the album earlier and knew a thing or two about these things, but he had never heard anyone mention them so bluntly. He was really ashamed.

Grandma Chen watched his face add a little more color, and couldn't help feeling a little more emotional in her heart.

No one mentioned the nonsense in the village earlier, but some people still look down on Tang Yi, a husband who has never been married, but he has seen it these days.

This brother is probably a bit more magnanimous than the young masters in the town, but it's a pity that his family is in decline, otherwise he would not appear in Sanhe Village.

Unconsciously, Auntie Chen showed a little more love and affection, "I won't talk about it today, you have to rest well, and you have to start preparing tomorrow."

"Isn't it the day after tomorrow?" Xie Shiying thought about it carefully, he remembered that he welcomed the relatives early in the morning, invited a few elders and helpers to dinner at noon, and started preparing the banquet in the evening.

I have listened to it several times in the past few days, and with his memory, there should be no mistakes.

"It takes a lot of preparation." Grandma Chen just smiled.

This smile gave Xie Shiying a bad feeling.

Xie Shiying was preparing here, and Tang Yi was not idle. It was not until the day before the wedding that he had time to go to the town and bring back the things he had ordered.

What was sent to Xie Shiying was a heavy wooden box. Ever since Grandma Song came to talk about her engagement to now, he had not stopped Tang Yi from mentioning the dowry, so he thought that neither of them needed to prepare anything.

At this moment, under the urging of Grandma Chen to open the box, I realized that I had a betrothal gift.

He touched the things in the box with his fingers, and when he was moved, Grandma Chen changed her mind again, "The hairpin and silver bracelet came just right, the ones that were rented are not my own, so just take them with you."

Xie Shi, who was caught and read by Grandma Chen for a day, saw him coming, and immediately sat up straight. After putting on the hairpin again, Grandma Chen left the room, leaving him alone.

The jewelry in the box had already been taken out, so Xie Shiying simply opened it again to look at the following items.

Except for the silver ornaments, there were only a few thin sheets of paper underneath, which looked worthless, and it must have been more than a little shabby compared to the betrothal gifts that often contain several boxes of jewelry in Longtan City.

Xie Shiying cherished the box and looked at it happily.

The above papers are land deeds and house deeds. Xie Shiying still remembers how poor the Tang family was. These papers are probably all of Tang Yi's belongings. He flipped through them and was about to put them back when he noticed that there was a small piece of paper. Same, only the word Tang Yi was written on it.
