Chapter 185 Sanya enters the city
Li Guihua couldn't understand Mandarin and had no interest in the radio, but Tian Dalin liked it very much. It doesn't matter if you don't understand it, just learn it slowly. Once you learn it, you can listen to it every day.
Li Guihua saw that it was getting late, and sent everyone back to the house to sleep. Only then did Tian Shao remember that there was one more thing he didn't say: "Sanya, the final exam is going to be in one month. It just so happens that there is nothing else going on at home right now, so you go to the county seat with me tomorrow so that I can also help you with your homework."
Li Guihua refused as soon as she heard it, and said: "How can this work, she still has to learn how to make clothes from Narcissus!"
Tian Shao said another way to Li Guihua: "Mother, I asked Sanya to go to the county seat not only to help her with her homework. The medicine I caught in the provincial capital had to be taken three times a day. Mother, the finance department will be very busy at the end of the year. I don’t touch the ground, I don’t have time to run back to make medicine at noon. Sanya went to the county town, so she can help me make medicine while preparing for the final exam.”
Paused, she said: "Sister-in-law Narcissus put it aside for a while, and then change to Sanya when Wuya is on vacation."
It's not that she wants to squeeze the labor of her sisters, but that she is really busy now. The end of the year is the busiest time for the finance department, and she has to draw comics to prepare for the final exam. Three meals a day can be settled in the cafeteria, and she really has no time to cook medicine.
Erya said depressingly after hearing this: "Sister, I'm fine at home, I can help you stay up late."
Tian Shao would not say that her snoring affected her sleep, but said euphemistically: "The county town is no better than home. You can't run around. You have to stay in the rented room all day long. Are you sure you can sit still?"
Sanya and Wuya are two children who can sit still, Erya and Siya can't, they are too detached.
Erya wanted to say that she could sit still, but she couldn't refute the look in Shangtian Shao's eyes.
Tian Dalin made the decision: "Sanya, you and your eldest sister will go to the county town to stay for a while, and you will come back when Wuya is on vacation."
Sanya would naturally not object, if there was no eldest sister, she would not be able to learn how to make clothes from Narcissus: "Elder sister, I will tell Sister-in-law Narcissus tomorrow, and then I will go to the textile factory to find you."
"No need, I didn't buy the medicine bowl for boiling medicine, so it won't be too late for you to come to the county in the future." In fact, the medicine won't arrive until tomorrow, and Sanya has nothing to do when she enters the city.
"good."
Tian Shao wanted to go to bed after washing, but was stopped by Tian Dalin: "Big girl, follow me."
Following Tian Dalin to the side of the vegetable garden, Tian Shao was a little confused, not understanding what he was going to do.
Tian Dalin lowered his voice and asked, "Big girl, tell me the truth, you really don't owe Director Li any money?"
Tian Shao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said: "Father, I really don't owe Sister Aihua any money. Borrowing money is not an honorable thing, but it doesn't hinder anyone. I don't need to lie to you."
"How much did you pay for this visit to the doctor?"
"It didn't cost much."
Seeing that she avoided talking about it, Tian Dalin said with a cold face, "Fifty for the radio, twenty or thirty for cotton shoes, and I will count you sixty for seeing a doctor and getting medicine. Including the round-trip fare for food and lodging, the cost will be at least one hundred and seventy eighty." The cloth and cotton you bought not long ago were at least thirty or forty, and the things you bought back home were also dozens of dollars. Big girl, you didn’t borrow money from anyone, so where did the extra money come from?”
It’s not like he doesn’t know, but he couldn’t sit still after this calculation.
Tian Shao knew that he must give him an explanation, otherwise he must be worried: "Father, I wrote a book. This time I went to the provincial capital to see a doctor, and secondly, I wanted to go to the publishing house to try my luck to see if the book would work. sell away."
Tian Shao introduced: "The villain's book I wrote is the kind of book that Sanya picked up before. I wrote a story about a child killing a devil. The editor-in-chief of the publishing house took a fancy to my book and agreed to publish it. It also paid the manuscript fee in advance.”
Anyway, it's impossible for her father to confront Editor-in-Chief Gu, so I'm not afraid.
Tian Dalin lost his voice and asked, "How much?"
Tian Shao said with a smile: "Father, the eighty yuan is only for the early stage. As long as the book sells well, I can still receive a lot of manuscript fees. But father, don't tell mother about this, she can't hide things in her heart. Even If you don’t tell your neighbors, you will tell your grandma and aunts. If more people know about it, sooner or later it will spread. Although the editor-in-chief promised to publish and paid the manuscript fee in advance, there are force majeure factors. In case of publication If you don’t, you’ll be ashamed.”
Tian Dalin asked worriedly: "Big ya, is there really no danger in publishing a book?"
Tian Shao comforted: "Father, don't worry! My book needs to be corrected by the editor of the publishing house. If there are problems, it will not be published, otherwise they will also be implicated. Father, don't worry, I will not ruin myself A matter of the future."
Tian Dalin immediately felt relieved, but thinking about Tian Shao's performance during this period of time, he felt sore again: "Big girl, it's all because of your father. There is no need to delay you. If your father can support your studies, you will definitely have a better life." future."
As far as my daughter is capable, it is safe to go to college.
Tian Shao smiled and said, "Father, it has been very hard for you to raise me and my four younger sisters. We will have to rely on ourselves in the future."
The family owed a huge amount of debt, Tian Dalin paid off the debt and raised five children at the same time, it was really hard work. However, he also paid the price of overdrawing his body. Fortunately, he is less than 40 now, and when he gets the manuscript fee next year and takes him to the doctor to take care of him, he should be able to bring him back.
"You have to hurry tomorrow, go back to the house and sleep!"
After Tian Dalin went back, he lit the kerosene lamp and touched the radio gently. This was bought by his daughter with royalties to honor him, so he must make good use of it.
Li Guihua was full of anger. Seeing him watching the radio all the time, she said angrily: "It's so cold, if you don't go to bed and touch this iron lump, can you find a flower?"
Tian Dalin was in a very good mood today, he took off his coat and climbed onto the bed and said, "My child is filial, I am happy."
Li Guihua said angrily: "If the debt is paid off, I would be happy if she buys this iron lump again to be filial to you. But now that the family still owes so much debt, I really have no plans at all."
Tian Dalin put his arms around her and said softly: "Osmanthus, don't always stare at the little money in hand. Our aunt is capable, and she will let us live in a big brick house in three years at most."
My daughter has a job, and she can earn an extra amount of money. If she saves for two years, she can build a big house with green bricks and tiles.
After so many years of husband and wife, Li Guihua still understands him: "What do you mean by that?"
Tian Dalin said: "Our aunt has other ways to earn money besides work. You don't have to worry about it in the future, you know what you do."
Li Guihua sat up in shock and asked, "Is the way right?"
"Don't worry, the way is right, it's just that she can make double the money, it's too eye-catching and those people might be jealous, so this matter can't be spread for the time being."
Li Guihua was relieved immediately, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll pay the money tomorrow morning. It's hard to bear such a debt on my head. It doesn't matter if I pay it back, our family will be debt-free from now on."
It's not that she doesn't want to pay back the money, but Tian Shao wants to put this pressure on her because she spends money recklessly.
