Chapter 222 Aunt (1)
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, I was going to visit my mother’s house to pay New Year’s greetings. Grandma Li and Uncle Li were in the mountains. Now that the mountains are not easy to walk, I don’t want to go. So Li Guihua asked Tian Shao and Erya to go to Uncle Li and Li Chunhua's house to pay New Year's greetings.
Tian Shao didn't want to go, and said directly: "Father said not to associate with the second uncle's house, you let us go to the second uncle's house, if we really go to the second uncle's house, then the outsiders will think that what my father said is useless, don't take it He takes it seriously."
Erya said directly: "Mother, I want you to go by yourself, I won't go."
Every time I go to my second uncle’s house, those people guard them like thieves. In the past, no matter how angry her parents didn't say anything, she could only endure it. Now that her father said that the two families broke up, she didn't want to take this anger.
Li Guihua panted heavily: "Are you trying to **** me off?"
Tian Shao was not used to her, so he said coolly: "Mother, I advise you to relax. Our family's life will get better and better. If you want to get angry, someone will come to match your father after you leave. You suffer and suffer, but in the end it is the blessings that come after you.”
Erya was stunned, she dared to say this, she was not afraid of being beaten to death.
Li Guihua wanted to hit her, but seeing Tian Shao's indifferent expression, she didn't have the guts to do so. She clutched her chest and said, "Tian Daya, do you wish I could die so that your father can marry a young and beautiful one?"
Tian Shao was not moved, and said blankly: "Father is not yet forty this year, so it shouldn't be difficult to marry a woman who can still bear children. When the time comes to give him an older son, we daughters may also be worthless." It's gone. At that time, we will be abused by our stepmother, and no one will be well."
Erya shivered, she didn't want a stepmother.
Si Ya believed it was true, ran over and hugged Li Guihua and said, "Mother, mother, I don't want a stepmother. The son of a **** beat him every day, and drove him out to sleep if he didn't give him enough food. Mother, you must take good care of yourself." Yes, otherwise we will be kicked out if we don’t have enough food and clothing in the future.”
Li Guihua patted Siya on the back and scolded: "Why are you crying and howling? Your father wants to marry a stepmother, and let him live his dream."
Tian Shao saw that she was full of anger, and didn't want to argue with her anymore, so he changed the subject and said, "Our family is better now, and it's better to go to my aunt's house to pay New Year's greetings empty-handed. You prepare something to bring to us."
Although Li Guihua was reluctant, she went into the house and took two things, a catty of brown sugar and two enamel cups.
Tian Shao felt a little helpless. The family used to share an enamel cup. She said it several times but no one listened, so she could only use a cup by herself: "Mother, there are too few, take another bottle of wine."
Seeing that Li Guihua was a little reluctant, Tian Shao didn't want to talk nonsense with her: "If you don't go get it, I will get two bottles."
This time I went to my aunt's house to pay New Year's greetings, but Tian Shao only took Erya with me. In this cold weather, I don't want Sanya to go with me, it's too much to suffer. Moreover, the conditions of every family are not good now, if they all go there, they will have to eat a lot of food. Like the uncle and aunt who are generous and don't care about it, this aunt is also careful in her life and doesn't want to make the other party unhappy.
San Kui said: "Cousin, you go first, I will go to my second uncle's house later, and then to my aunt's house to pay New Year's greetings."
Aunt Li’s family is married to Niujia Village, which is not in the same commune as Tianjia Village. It would take fifty minutes to walk fast.
The two sisters took their things and set off on the road. Erya carried the things and said happily: "Sister, this is the first time I have brought things when I go to my aunt's house for New Year's greetings."
Tian Shao asked: "What is the conflict between mother and aunt? Why haven't they been in touch all these years?"
Logically speaking, sisters should be closer than brothers. After all, brothers who marry daughter-in-law will be affected by pillow wind. But the sisters didn't have so many worries before, and said everything. Fortunately, the two sisters did the opposite.
…
Well, she blamed Li Guihua wrongly, and she wouldn't want to have more contact with Aunt Li. It's too painful to get along with the three views.
Erya said again: "Auntie's mother-in-law is not a good one either, she is very harsh on her daughter-in-law and doesn't give her enough food. But Auntie is lucky, she gave birth to a big fat boy in the first year after entering the house."
If she gave birth to so many daughters in one breath like her mother, she would probably be tortured to death by the wicked mother-in-law with that temper.
Tian Shao listened to the envious tone, squinted at her and said, "You also think the girl is worthless, or do you want to have a son?"
Erya shook her head and said, "Both sons and daughters are born by myself, and they must all be in pain. However, if there is no son in the family, people will look down on them, and outsiders will scold our family for cutting off children and grandchildren, so I hope that the first child will be a son in the future."
There is nothing wrong with this statement. Now that there is no son in the countryside, people will indeed be scolded for extinction. Tian Shao said: "Whether you are a son or a daughter, you must study in the future. If you don't study, you will be blind and can only do coolies in the future."
Erya nodded in agreement and said, "Well, I want to study, so that they will be admitted to the factory like the eldest sister in the future."
Aunt Li’s house is also an earthen embryo house, but her house is bigger with six rooms. It’s just that she has three sons and two daughters. The eldest son and the second son got married and gave birth to a son. The eldest daughter is also married, and the younger son Mugen and daughter Ermei are also there, so housing is relatively tight.
Aunt Li saw that the two sisters were so happy, she came over and took Da Ya's hand into the house. That hand was full of calluses and very rough, which made Tian Shao's hands very uncomfortable.
Erya handed the cloth pocket to Aunt Li, and said intentionally, "Auntie, this is what my mother brought. It includes a catty of sugar, a bottle of wine, and two enamel cups."
Aunt Li was a little surprised that her younger sister was so generous today. But she won't take advantage of it, thinking that she will bring back a generous gift when her eldest son goes to pay a New Year's call two days later.
Not long after sitting down, cousin Ermei ran in from outside, and when she saw Tian Shao, she sat down next to her and praised her.
Tian Shao said with a smile: "If they are really envious, they should send their daughter to study. Maybe they will be more promising than me in the future."
Ermei is already fifteen years old and has no idea about studying. She now wants to know the life of the people in the city: "Cousin, what is the textile factory like? I heard it is very big, with six to seven hundred workers."
This little girl has a lot of questions. After asking how many workers and how many machines are there in the textile factory, what are those machines like, is the family building comfortable to live in...
The second girl was overwhelmed by the many questions, but Tian Shao patiently told her. Anyway, being idle is idle, and it's okay to help the little girl solve her doubts.
At this moment, a faint voice came from outside: "Mother, mother..."
Hearing this voice, those who didn’t know it thought they didn’t have enough to eat!
The smile on Ermei's face disappeared in an instant, seeing Tian Shao looked at her and said depressedly: "It's my sister who came back. She had a bad time at her in-law's house and came back. Every time she came back, she hugged my mother and cried for a long time."
Her crying made everyone feel bad. But the whole family persuaded her to be tougher, but she swallowed it because she didn't have the confidence to bear children. As a result, Ermei has a shadow and does not want to marry.
There will be an update on the 30th.
