Chapter 143 Moving
Sankui also brought a lot of wild fruits this time, including chestnuts, prickly pears, August fruits, and jujubes. Chestnuts weigh about ten catties, and Tian Shao likes to say to Li Guihua, "Mother, I want to take a few catties of chestnuts to the county seat."
She likes to eat chestnuts. She likes chestnuts fried in sugar, roasted chestnuts, roasted chestnuts, and chestnut pork rib soup, but here is no condition and can only be used as snacks.
Sankui smiled and said: "Cousin, leave these for Erya and the others to eat! I still have some at home. I won't go to the county in a few days, so I'll send you some more then."
In previous years, my family could receive hundreds of catties of chestnuts, and after eating many of them got worms. However, as long as it is mountain goods, Brother Fei will accept it, as well as chestnuts, so only some others are left to be exchanged for money.
"Okay, then I won't bring it."
Except for chestnuts, Tian Shao is not interested in other wild fruits, and the jujube is too sweet and prickly pear has many thorns.
Although Tian Shao plans to rent a house and cook for himself, but now that he has just moved there, he hasn’t bought many things, so he is not in a hurry. This time, I only brought thicker clothes and useful things.
After lunch, the three of them went to the county seat. Erya and Sankui were holding things, Tian Shao just carried this green backpack, very leisurely.
On the way, Erya asked: "Sister, I heard Sanya say that you will pick her up to live in the county seat when winter comes."
Tian Shao laughed as soon as he heard it: "Sanya's living in the county is not for fun, but for reading and writing. If you can do it, you can come with me."
Erya was still a little bit aggrieved at first, and felt that Tian Shao was biased, so she immediately gave up her thoughts after hearing this. It was easy to learn to read at the beginning, but then she forgot it in a blink of an eye, and counting made her one head and two big. Now she would rather go to the mountains to cut firewood and work in the fields than to study, it is too difficult.
Tian Shao felt a little relieved seeing her give up. She doesn't want to sleep with Er Ya at all, this girl snores like thunder, it's impossible to sleep in the same room with her.
Because there must still be people in the rest dormitory today, Tian Shao asked Sankui to wait outside, and she and Erya went up together.
Aunt Mao felt a little guilty when she heard that she was going to move out. After all, a stranger entered the dormitory and didn’t find that she was negligent: "Xiaotian, if you don’t like Comrade Gao Xiaofu, you can apply to the logistics department for a change of dormitory."
Tian Shao saw her thoughts at a glance, shook his head and said: "Last week, I asked Aunt Yang to help me find a house. The lights in the dormitory are turned off too early every day, and I don't have time to read."
Mao immediately agreed after hearing this: "Oh, it's really inconvenient to live in the dormitory if you want to read. I remember the man outside is your cousin. There is no one in the dormitory at this time, so you can let him go up with you."
Tian Shao shook his head and said: "No need, it's the weekend and there must still be dormitories. It's not suitable for my cousin to go up there alone."
The last time it was working time, no one would stay in the dormitory unless there was a special reason, so she let Tian Dalin into the dormitory. But it's different now, it's vacation time.
Erya thought the dormitory in the factory was very comfortable, but when she went in, she found that the room was only half the size of her house, and there were still four people living in it: "Sister, don't blame you for saying that the dormitory is uncomfortable, it's really crowded."
"It's such a small bed, many people want to live in it but can't live in it." The current housing shortage is unimaginable for future generations.
Having said that, Er Ya still said enviously: "Although they live in a crowded place, they still have wages and commodity food every month. Unlike us, who are busy all year round, if God is in a bad mood, they won't be able to eat. full."
What does it matter if you live in such a place, you don’t need to go to the ground and you don’t need to tan like black charcoal. The most important thing is that if the food harvest is poor, you have to go hungry.
Erya showed a look uglier than crying, and said: "Sister, it's not that I don't read it, it's really too difficult."
Three hundred and sixty lines are the best, but the problem is that this girl has no special skills other than strength, even if Tian Shao wants to find a future for her, she has no way to start. In the future, even if she takes her shift into the textile factory, she will only be able to do chores or heavy work.
Tian Shao’s things, besides bedding, are books. The rattan wooden box was full of books, and Tian Shao struggled to carry it.
Erya saw her struggling, took the box from her hand and said, "Eldest sister, it's also fortunate that you got admitted to the textile factory. What if you are still in the countryside?"
Yuan didn't have much strength in his body, and he was staggering when he picked up a load of water, and that's why Tian Dalin and Erya picked up the water at home. However, the sisters in the family have a division of labor, and Erya doesn't have to do other housework except carrying water.
Didn't expect that he would be despised by Er Ya, the corner of Tian Shao's mouth twitched.
While the two were packing up, Aunt Mao also brought a bag and a rope.
These two things just solved Tian Shao's urgent need, she said with a smile: "Thank you, auntie!"
Aunt Mao saw that she was not worried about the previous matter, and said with a smile: "Xiaotian, you can go back to the dormitory when you have time."
Tian Shao agreed, but he said in his heart that it's okay, who would want to come here, and he doesn't know anyone else well except Tang Yuanyuan. She doesn't have many things, one box and three bags are enough.
After sending the person away, Aunt Mao said to herself: "It's good to leave, save a lot of worry."
What happened last time, Tang Yuanyuan and Huang Xin quickly compromised, but this girl wanted to hold on. Fortunately, the niece and son-in-law reacted quickly, and she moved her with reason and affection, otherwise she would not be able to bear it and walk around when the trouble became too big. It would be troublesome to keep such a thorn.
Mrs. Shen heard the knock on the door and hurried over to open the door. Seeing Tian Shao's big and small bags, she opened the door and said, "Come in!"
Erya entered the room and saw the carved wooden bed and wardrobe, and felt that the environment here was quite good. It's just that it's inconvenient for her to talk too much when the landlord is here, she just fetches water with a wooden basin, and then scrubs a few pieces of furniture in the house.
Ms. Shen looked at San Kui and asked, "Didn't you say that there are only four younger sisters in the family, this one?"
Tian Shao planned to call Sanya to live here in winter, and she told Mrs. Shen about it. Some things are better explained clearly, so as to save trouble in the future.
Tian Shao smiled: "This is my cousin Sankui, my uncle's youngest son. He just came to my house today, and now that my parents can't take leave during the busy farming season, I asked him to help me move things."
The old lady Shen's eyes changed instantly when she looked at Sankui. Such a young man earning a lot of money and running to the county town obviously did not do anything: "It is not easy for your parents to raise you, how can you be lazy?"
San Kui felt that as a landlord, Mrs. Shen was a little too involved.
Tian Shao saw that she had misunderstood, and explained: "Grandma Shen, my uncle's house is in the mountains, and the autumn harvest has already been finished. It is only after all the work is done that I have time to come out."
Seeing that she had misunderstood, Mrs. Shen was not embarrassed: "The mountain is good, as long as you work hard, you won't be hungry."
The three siblings spent an hour cleaning the house, and the glass windows were polished enough to be used as mirrors. Mrs. Shen was very satisfied and believed what Li's mother said. This girl is diligent and clean.
