Hearing the sound of firecrackers, Tian Shao said to Si Ya who was still clicking: "Everyone has set off firecrackers for lunch, so we have to go back."
Siya was in high spirits and said, "Sister, let's continue shooting after lunch!"
Tian Shao looked up at the sun hanging in the sky. The winter sun shone warmly on her body. She smiled and said: "Go to the third uncle's house to find Tian Tao and see if she has time? If she has time, wait.
After lunch, I asked her to come over and take a photo of our family."
The whole family has not taken a photo in so many years. Of course, it’s not that Tian Shao didn’t want to take the photo, but that there were not enough people to get together. Liu Ya went abroad and she didn’t come back while Er Ya was busy with business and has been in Yongning County. It’s rare that they all came back this time.
I brought my husband and kids with me, so I definitely had to take a photo.
Si Ya said doubtfully: "Can Tian Tao know how to take pictures?"
"Don't worry, Tian Tao knows more than you."
There were rumors in the village that the family's spiritual energy was all in their daughter. Although it was superstitious, it is true that none of the three brothers' children or sons were outstanding.
"good."
When the group returned home, Li Guihua wiped her hands on her apron and said, "There is only one big dish left. If I don't come back, I will have to go find you."
Tian Shao saw Sanya accompanying Miaomiao in the yard, and Li Guihua looked relaxed. She couldn't help but ask: "Mom, daddy is in charge today?"
Judging from Tian Dalin's cooking skills, the lunch meal would probably be unpalatable to Si Ya.
At this time, Tian Dalin walked out of the room. Li Guihua joked: "Dalinzi, did you hear that, your eldest daughter is worried that you will be the one who cooks the food and won't be able to eat it. From now on, don't say that your food is good."
have eaten."
Tian Dalin smiled and said, "Your uncle just brought over a plate of braised pig's trotters. When he saw your mother cooking, he kicked her out and took the spoon himself."
Upon hearing this, Si Ya said happily: "Uncle, do you take charge of the cooking? It seems that I have to eat too much today."
Not long after Li Erkui married Wang Zhi, Sister-in-law Li proposed to withdraw her shares. She really hated Wang Zhi's face, and because she had the true heritage of Uncle Li, after withdrawing her shares, she rented a store next to the vegetable market to specialize in cooking
The braised food is sold.
Sankui spent a lot of money to buy a braised food recipe for them. After getting the recipe, the braised food store suddenly became popular. Within half a year, Sister-in-law Li made back the money from buying the braised food recipe. A year later, Sister-in-law Li bought the store again.
.
Sister-in-law Li felt that the little money Li Dakui made in the transportation company was not interesting, so she asked him to resign and the couple ran a braised pork shop together. It was also because the braised pork shop made money that Tian Shao had previously proposed to let Uncle Li take Sibao there.
He is studying in Sijiu City, and the couple are now able to buy him a small house in Sijiu City, so settling in is not a problem.
Tian Shao entered the kitchen and said to his uncle who was sweating from the heat: "Uncle, let me do it!"
Uncle Li waved his hand and refused, saying: "It's okay, your eldest cousin is in charge of cooking at home. Your mother and father are not good at cooking, so I have nothing to do. Don't waste good ingredients. You go and take care of the children. This dish will be ready soon."
Enough."
Tian Dalin and Li Guihua didn't care after hearing this. Their cooking skills were really insignificant compared with their elder brother.
After finishing several big dishes, Uncle Li went back. No one stopped him this time. This was the main meal at noon on New Year's Eve, so he had to go home to eat it.
When he left, Tian Shao said with a smile: "Uncle, I brought a camera this time. After we finish shooting, I will go over and take pictures for you."
Because Shuhui was pregnant, Sankui stayed in Hong Kong City and didn't come back, so she didn't say anything about taking a family photo, but Uncle Li and Auntie already knew that Shuhui was pregnant with a son.
Uncle Li waved his hand and said with a smile: "If you want to take pictures, you can do it yourself, so your aunt and I don't have to."
Li Guihua persuaded: "Brother, you and your sister-in-law don't take pictures, but the children have to take pictures. These children are always quick to catch the wind, and they will change in a few years. Take more photos now, and it will be interesting to look through them when you have nothing to do in the future.
of."
Uncle Li didn't refuse anymore after hearing this.
After Tian Shao sent Uncle Li out, he turned back and was about to go into the kitchen to help serve the dishes, but was stopped by Li Guihua: "Siya and Wuya are here, you don't have to do these things, you take good care of the two children."
That’s fine.”
After saying that, she took Minyu's hand to the basin. While the child was washing his hands, she whispered: "Don't mention Erkui when you go to your uncle's house later, otherwise your uncle and aunt will feel upset when they hear it.
Not happy."
Tian Shao understood as soon as he heard that Li Erkui had not come back to celebrate the New Year: "Why, for the sake of three, Li Erkui even gave up his parents?"
Li Guihua sighed and said, "He gave jasmine to Wang Zhi, and your uncle slapped him twice in a fit of anger. After that, he never wanted to see your uncle again."
Tian Shao thought that Li Erkui had a bad character and refused to deal with him after he wanted to steal the job of San Kui. Later, Uncle Li asked her to support Li Erkui, but she was unwilling. Facts have proved that she was right, and she could steal the job of her own brother.
You can also do without parents and children.
Speaking of this incident, Li Guihua felt very sad: "Your uncle has always been kind-hearted, but now he can't help but sigh whenever he is mentioned. This kid is so heartless."
Tian Shao said: "I said at the beginning that this person is selfish and only has himself in mind, but you just said that it was Chen Yan who instigated it. What now? Is it Chen Yan who instigated it or is he fundamentally broken?"
"What are you arguing with me about right and wrong at this time?"
Tian Shao explained: "Mom, I'm not arguing with you about right or wrong. I'm telling you that people like him can't go far. My uncle tried his best to help him up when he fell so hard before;
But if he falls again, no one will help him up."
It is definitely impossible for her to help Li Erkui, even if Uncle Li asks her in the future, she will not agree; as for Li Dakui and Li Sankui, as for what he has done, they will have no control in the future. But with Li Erkui's character, no matter what happens to him,
The situation is all deserved.
Li Guihua thought of her previous words about making Li Erkui a pauper, and reminded him: "Whether he will be richer or pauper in the future depends on his life, but you are not allowed to interfere."
"I don't have that spare time!"
Those who have gained the right will get many help, while those who have lost the right will have little help. People like Li Erkui will fall miserably without her taking action."
After washing the children's hands, Tian Shao led them to the main room. The Tian family had grown from eight to sixteen, and there was no room for one table, so they divided the table into two.
Si Ya looked at the dishes on the table, her eyes shining. Today’s main dishes include braised pork, fried sea cucumbers with green onions, sweet and sour pork ribs, braised chicken with snails and abalone, braised beef brisket with tomatoes, golden potato and shrimp balls, spicy swimming crabs, and sauced elbows.
, plus four vegetables.
Li Guihua said to everyone: "These prawns, sea cucumbers, swimming crabs, and abalone were all brought back by Sankui through asking the director of the clothing factory."
Because of these aquatic products, Suozhu also thought about selling fresh food, but gave up after knowing the cost. The mortality rate was too high and it was not cost-effective.
Si Ya asked strangely: "Isn't cousin Sankui in the port city? How can he still ask the factory director to send overseas goods back?"
Li Guihua smiled and said: "You have stayed in Yangcheng for so long, don't you know that Yangcheng is very close to Hong Kong City. And now the two sides are on the phone, just make a phone call."
However, Tian Shao felt that these fresh food were not given by Sankui. This boy was not so meticulous in his thinking. Zhuang Yipeng should have bought them himself and sent them to his home. But it was good that she knew about this and there was no need to tell Li Guihua.
Siya smelled the aroma and said impatiently: "Sister, mother, don't talk anymore, let's start eating."
Picking up a crab leg, Si Ya took a bite and praised: "Third sister, your cooking skills are getting better and better now. This swimming crab is so delicious."
This swimming crab was made by Sanya, who learned it from Li Chun.
Seeing that she was eating with gusto, Tian Shao said: "Si Ya, when you finish eating later, you and Wu Ya Liu Ya will clean up together. Don't do what you did before, just throw away the chopsticks and go back to the house after eating."
Siya couldn't sleep for a second after hearing this, and immediately said: "Sister, before I go back to school, I've packed the bowls at home."
"not enough."
"Then add sweeping and laundry."
Upon hearing this, Li Guihua quickly said: "She doesn't need to wash the clothes. If they are washed, they will be the same as if they are not washed. Let her wash the dishes and sweep the floor, and then help Diandian and Niuniu with their homework, and then teach them English."
Now she has changed her mind. As long as Siya can make money, it doesn't matter if she doesn't know how to do the housework, she can just hire someone to do it.
Si Ya feels that the sun is rising in the west today, but this is a good thing for her.
Because they had to take a family photo after the meal, neither Tian Dalin nor Tan Yue drank. So the meal was finished in less than half an hour.
Although Si Ya said that she would wash the dishes, Wu Ya and Liu Ya still helped to clean up.
After Tian Tao had packed up, Liu Ya took a camera to take pictures of Tian Dalin and Li Guihua.
Li Guihua is still wearing the clothes she used to wear at work. Since she sells clothes, she has paid attention to her image. She is not happy to take pictures like this: "You take pictures of your eldest sister and the others first. Your father and I will go back to the house and change clothes before we come back."
Liuya feels that Li Guihua has changed a lot in the past few years since she went abroad, but she likes this change very much.
When she said this, everyone immediately went back to the house to change clothes. The new clothes were originally meant to be worn after taking a shower in the evening, but they didn't care about it now and put them on first.
Seeing that Tian Dalin and Li Guihua were wearing Tang suits with exquisite workmanship, Liu Ya asked in surprise: "Mom, Dad, your clothes look good, where did you buy them?"
Li Guihua said with a smile on her face: "Your eldest sister bought it. I don't know where she bought it. It looks good, right? Your father and I think it looks good too."
She tried it on as soon as it was mailed back. Not only was it warm, but the fabric was very comfortable to touch. If she had worn it before, she would have been reluctant to part with it, but after knowing that Tian Shao made millions every year, she kept everything he bought her and never stopped talking about it.
Sanya also saw this style for the first time, and felt that if she sold it in her own store, the sales would definitely be very good: "Sister, where did you buy this dress?"
Tian Shao said with a smile: "I didn't buy them, I asked the master chef in Hong Kong City to make them. In addition to these two suits, I also ordered several cheongsams."
The mainland is still relatively conservative now, and people will judge her if she wears a cheongsam in summer. She doesn’t want people to judge her, so she keeps the cheongsam in Hong Kong and does not bring it back to the mainland.
Si Ya also liked it very much and said: "Sister, I will also wear a Tang suit next year."
Tian Shao nodded and said, "Okay, but now that you can make money, you can buy your own food and clothing in the future."
"good."
As a result, when Si Ya knew the price of a set of clothes like this the next year, she was reluctant to part with it. Although she made a lot of money as a translator, it was hard money. Of course, the most important thing was to hand over four-fifths of the money she earned.
, I have to save the rest for going to the restaurant, how could Si Ya be willing to buy such expensive clothes.
Sanya decided to sell this kind of clothes next year. Nowadays, young people are pursuing fashion and don’t like this kind of old-fashioned stuff. On the contrary, old people who are nostalgic will like it.
Tian Shao took a camera and took pictures of Tian Dalin and Li Guihua, and then the five children went to take pictures with them. While taking pictures, Tian Tao came over.
Seeing that they were already taking pictures, Tian Tao said with some embarrassment: "Sister, I thought you weren't that fast, so I came here late."
She was about to come over after eating, but was stopped by Tian Sanlin. Tian Sanlin thought that Tian Dalin would drink with his son-in-law. This man would not stop drinking for hours. He was not wrong either.
, but he didn’t expect that Tian Dalin and his three sons-in-law didn’t drink in order to take pictures.
Tian Shao has not seen Tian Tao for several years. When she saw Tian Tao today, she noticed that she had changed a lot. I remember the last time she saw Tian Tao, she was dark and thin. Now she is tall and her skin is much whiter. The most important thing is that she is full of energy.
gained confidence.
Liuya smiled and said: "It's okay, we were taking pictures by ourselves just now. Sister Taozi, can you take pictures?"
Tian Tao nodded and said, "My partner likes to take pictures, and he taught me specifically."
In fact, her partner wanted to get married earlier, but Tian Tao wanted to get a college diploma and didn't want to get married so early. After all, once you get married and have children, it's hard to concentrate on your studies.
Tian Shao had heard San Kui mention it before, saying that Tian Tao's partner really liked taking photos and had saved up money for a year to buy a good camera. From San Kui's words, Tian Shao knew that the other person was a photographer.
A fan.
Liuya then safely handed the camera to Tian Tao, and then asked Tian Dalin and Li Guihua to stand at the front.
Tian Shao looked at it, thought for a moment and said, "Go and move two chairs into the room. My father and mother will hold Minyu and Minji respectively and sit in the middle. Diandian and Niu Niu will stand next to them."
In the second row, there are Erya and his wife, Sanya and his wife, and then Wu Zhengqing is holding Miaomiao; in the third row, Tian Shao, Tan Yue and Siya are three people.
After Tian Tao saw them all standing up, he took two test shots, and then said with a smile: "Uncle, aunt, cousin, I will call three later, and you can call me eggplant."
Tian Shao thinks this is very silly, but it’s rare that we can get together to take a family photo, so be silly!
Tian Dalin nodded and said: "Okay."
"one two three……"
Everyone shouted in unison: "Eggplant."
"Click..."
The camera shutter clicked, leaving this happy moment.
