Chapter 17 Tian Jianle
When Li Guihua came home, she saw three dishes and one soup on the table, which were stir-fried soybeans with hot pepper, scrambled eggs with leeks, hand-patted cucumbers, and loofah egg soup.
She didn't even bother to scold Tian Shao, and immediately ran to the kitchen, only to be relieved when she saw that the cabinet was intact. Turning back again, she asked, "Where did your eggs come from?"
The eggs she collects every day are stored in the cupboard, and they are locked up for fear that Si Ya will steal them.
Tian Shao said: "I got it from the chicken coop. Mom, I know it's not easy for our family to be frugal, but we can't eat cucumbers and loofahs every day. We're okay. Dad has to do so much heavy work every day. If things go on like this, his body will be exhausted. of."
Eggs are only three cents or two. The money she got is enough for us to eat for several years, but it's a pity that Li Guihua doesn't give her a penny. Tian Shao regretted it, she should keep some of it for herself yesterday.
Daughter is so caring, Tian Dalin is in a good mood: "My mother, I am also thinking about my body, so don't be angry."
Li Guihua said angrily: "Who am I working so hard for? Isn't it for this family?"
Tian Shao said with a smile: "We all know that you and dad are working hard, so I want you to eat better. Mom, don't worry, our days will get better and better in the future."
Looking at her smile, Li Guihua dissipated the gloom in her heart: "Sanya, from now on, when you cook, don't let your eldest sister cook."
If she continues to eat like this, she feels that her family is really going to be poor.
Siya was the first to object, saying, "No, the dishes cooked by eldest sister are delicious."
Li Guihua hit her on the head with chopsticks. The meat and eggs fried with oil are of course delicious: "Don't talk so much nonsense, and Sanya will cook in the future."
Sanya is obedient and never goes against her wishes. Speaking of which, except for Siya who is greedy and lazy, the others are diligent and obedient. The only fly in the ointment is that they are all daughters, and there is no son who supports the family. It's called recruiting, but it's so easy!
Tian Shao put an egg into Li Guihua's bowl, and said, "Mom, don't feel bad anymore. When I make money in the future, I guarantee that you will have meat and eggs every meal until you don't want to eat it."
Li Guihua snorted and said: "Dun Dun has meat and eggs, that's the life of the official wife, I don't have such a good life. Big girl, I don't ask for these, I just hope that you can find a good home in the future. Worry about food but not clothes."
"Don't worry, it will." After a few years of reform and opening up, the lives of ordinary people will get better and better.
After dinner, Tian Shao packed up and began to teach a few people how to read. Er Ya was not interested, and said directly: "It's useless to learn this, so I don't want to learn it! I'm going to take a bath."
It is useless to press the cow without drinking water, Tian Shao also let her go. But the remaining three were forced by her to stay and study. She first taught the capitalized one to ten, and Sanya used it as a review for what she had learned before.
Li Guihua asked a little puzzled: "This girl, why did you suddenly teach Sanya how to read?"
Big Ya had taught for a while before, but Erya and Sanya had no interest, so they stopped teaching after a year. In fact, it's not that she doesn't teach, but that she has to study, take care of her children and work, which is too tiring.
Tian Dalin said: "It's always good to know a few more characters."
That day, Tian Shao learned to read with Granny Yuxiu. Although the teaching was free, it also delayed her work. Li Guihua was not happy at that time, but Tian Dalin thought it was a good thing and agreed, and it was also because of his support, otherwise Da Ya would not be able to get a junior high school diploma.
Li Guihua nodded, it would be easier to talk about the child's literacy and marriage. Why did Shi Tiesheng give so many gifts? His own daughter is a junior high school student, which is also an important reason.
For example, Yi, I told them dryly before that it was Yi, but now I say that Yi is the Yi of a piece of toffee. Having said that, she quickly wrote down the words.
"This way you won't feel boring!"
Siya thinks about it and thinks so.
The farce by the river is completely confirmed to be the person saved by Tian Shao. The matter was clarified, but Tian Chun's family felt bad, and sat together after dinner to discuss the matter.
Ma Dongxiang said very annoyed: "I said that I gave too much, and now it's all in vain."
She is not reluctant to part with things, no amount of things is worth the life of her own daughter. At that time, she just felt that the gift was too much, which would feed the appetite of Da Peng's family, but she couldn't refute her husband's decision.
Tian Lingling frowned and said: "Who would have known that Nianqiu was so bold that he would dare to tell such a lie? Mother, since it is confirmed that Da Ya saved me, we should go to their house to apologize."
Ma Dongxiang explained: "Most of the things we brought back have been sent to Peng's house. Let's come to the door to thank you now. If the things we send are less than the ones in the morning, Li Guihua will definitely hold on to them."
It's okay if you just mutter a few words, but Li Guihua is not forgiving. She was afraid that this matter would be talked about in the future, and she didn't want to talk about it for the rest of her life. Therefore, she wanted to wait for the third son to come back before coming to the door.
Tian Lingling thought for a while and said: "Isn't there still a pack of toffee at home, take some seafood, I have fifty yuan here, I think it should be enough."
Her fifty yuan is the New Year's money and the pocket money given by the godmother on weekdays, and she saved it up without any expenses on weekdays.
Mrs. Tian was in pain when she heard this. The bag of toffee was originally reserved for her two children.
Ma Dongxiang refused as soon as she heard it: "No, I can't take money. Give me fifty now, and I will ask for more when I grow up my appetite."
It is okay to send more things, but absolutely not money. That woman Li Guihua is very greedy, and she will definitely come to play the autumn wind from time to time after she has to give money. It's okay not to give them life-saving grace, but if they care about their family's money and belongings, it's not because of the strong wind.
Tian Lingling was a little annoyed, but she still suppressed her temper and said: "This doesn't work, and that doesn't work, so what should I do?"
The main thing is that she is at home, and if she doesn’t go, it’s hard to live with reason or reason.
At this moment, a loud voice sounded at the door: "Sister, what should I do?"
Seeing Tian Jianle stepping in, the depression in Tian Lingling's heart was swept away. The third brother usually has the most ideas, since he is back, he will not worry about this time.
Tian Lingling stepped forward, took the bag Tian Jianle was holding and said, "Third Brother, I thought you wouldn't be back until tomorrow?"
Tian Jianle entered the kitchen first, drank a ladle of water, and then entered the main room: "I was planning to come back tomorrow, but I thought about Lingling's falling into the water and thought it was wrong. We have to find out whether it is really Nian Qiujiu's soul." spirit."
Lingling slipped into the water to pick up her hat, and Tian Daya threw herself into the river at that time, what a coincidence. And he remembered that Peng Nianqiu was short and thin, could that body save Lingling? Since there is doubt about this matter, he must investigate it clearly, but he can't let himself be wronged.
Tian Lingling gave a thumbs up and praised: "Third brother is still the most powerful. Third brother, it has been proved that the one who saved me was not Nianqiu but Da Ya. Third brother, how can Nianqiu do such a thing?"
Tian Jianle said in his heart that sure enough, there is no such coincidence in the world: "Naturally, it is for the benefit. Everyone in the village knows that parents love you and saved you. Parents will definitely take care of her in the future."
