When Li Guihua returned home, she saw three dishes and one soup on the table, namely stir-fried beans with stir-fried peppers, scrambled eggs with bitter gourd, cold cucumbers, and loofah and egg soup.
She didn't even bother to scold Tian Shao, and immediately ran to the kitchen. She was relieved when she saw that the cabinets were intact. When she came back, she asked, "Where did you get these eggs?"
The eggs she collected every day were stored in the cupboard, and she locked them for fear that Si Ya might eat 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 luffa every day. We're lucky. Dad has to do so much heavy work every day. If this goes on, the body will be exhausted."
of."
The eggs were only three cents each. The money she got was enough for us to eat for several years, but it was a pity that Li Guihua didn't give her a penny. Tian Shao regretted it. He should have kept part of it for himself yesterday.
Tian Dalin was in a great mood when his daughter was so considerate: "Damn it, Da Ya also thinks about my health, so don't be angry."
Li Guihua said angrily: "Who am I working so hard for, but for this family?"
Tian Shao said with a smile: "We all know that you and dad are working hard, so we want you to eat well. Mom, don't worry, our days will get better and better in the future."
Seeing her smile, Li Guihua's depression dissipated: "Sanya, from now on, when you cook, don't let your eldest sister take charge of the cooking."
If she continued to eat like this, she felt that her family would really become poor.
Si Ya was the first to object and said, "No, the dishes cooked by eldest sister are delicious."
Li Guihua hit her on the head with chopsticks. The meat and eggs fried without adding oil were of course delicious: "Stop talking so much nonsense, Sanya will cook from now on."
Sanya is obedient and never goes against her will. Speaking of the children, except for Siya, who is greedy and lazy, the other children are diligent and obedient. The only flaw is that they are all daughters, and there is no son to support the family. It is said that they are recruiting brides.
, but it’s not that easy!
Tian Shao put a piece of egg into the Li Guihua bowl and said, "Mom, don't feel bad anymore. When I make money in the future, I will make sure you have meat and eggs every meal, until you don't want to eat anymore."
Li Guihua snorted and said: "Every day you have meat and eggs, that's the life of an official's wife. I don't have such a good life. Damn, I don't ask for this. I just hope that you can find a good home in the future."
I don’t have to worry about food and clothing.”
"Don't worry, it will happen." After a few years of reform and opening up, people's lives will get better and better.
After dinner and cleaning up, Tian Shao began to teach a few people how to read. Erya was not interested and said directly: "It's useless to learn this, I won't learn it! I'm going to take a shower."
Pressing down on the cow without drinking water was of no use, so Tian Shao let her go. However, she forced the remaining three to stay and study. She taught the upper-case one to ten first, and Sanya reviewed them after they had learned them before.
Li Guihua asked with some confusion: "Why did this girl suddenly teach Sanya and the others how to read?"
Da Ya taught for a while before, but Er Ya and San Ya were not interested and stopped teaching after a year. In fact, it’s not that Da Ya doesn’t teach, it’s that she has to study, take care of her children, and work.
too tired.
Tian Dalin said: "It's always good to know a few more words."
That day, Tian Shao was learning how to read with Grandma Yuxiu. Although she was taught free of charge, it also delayed her work. Li Guihua was not happy at that time, but Tian Dalin thought it was a good thing and agreed, also because of his support, otherwise Da Ya wouldn't be able to get it.
to a junior high school diploma.
Li Guihua nodded. It would be easier to talk about the marriage if the child is literate. Why Shi Tiesheng gave so many colorful gifts is because his daughter is a junior high school student. This is also an important reason.
After recognizing ten characters, Si Ya stood next to Tian Shao and said softly: "Sister, what you teach now is different from before."
For example, one, I told them dryly before that it was one, but now I said one was one toffee. After saying this, she quickly memorized the words.
"This way you won't find it boring!"
Si Ya thinks so after thinking about it.
The farce by the river was completely confirmed and it was Tian Shao who saved the person. This 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 just said that I gave you too many things, and now they are all in vain."
It’s not that she was reluctant to part with things, no amount of things could be worth the life of her daughter. At that time, she just felt that giving too many things would feed the appetite of the Peng family, but it was hard for her to refute her husband’s decision.
Tian Lingling frowned and said: "Who knew that Nian Qiu was so bold and dared to tell such a lie? Mom, since it is confirmed that Daya saved me, we should go to their house to apologize."
Ma Dongxiang explained: "Most of the things we brought back have been sent to the Peng family. Now we are coming to thank you. If the things we bring are less than what we gave in the morning, Li Guihua will definitely hold on to them."
If she just muttered a few words, it would be fine, but Li Guihua was a tough talker. She was afraid that this matter would be mentioned in the future, and she didn't want to be blamed for the rest of her life. Therefore, she wanted to wait until her third son came back before visiting.
Tian Lingling thought for a moment and said, "Don't I still have a pack of toffee at home? Let's get some seafood. I still have fifty yuan here. I think it should be enough."
Her fifty yuan was New Year's money and the pocket money given by her godmother on weekdays. She had saved it without spending anything on weekdays.
When Mrs. Tian heard this, her heart ached so much. The packet of toffee was originally reserved for her two children.
Ma Dongxiang refused as soon as she heard it: "No, you can't take the money. If you give me fifty now, you will ask for more later if you develop your appetite."
It’s okay to give away more things, but never give money. That woman Li Guihua is extremely greedy. If she gives away money, she will definitely come to visit Qiu Feng from time to time. If there is a life-saving grace, it will not work without giving it, but if you take care of their family’s money and
Things are not blown by strong winds.
Tian Lingling was a little irritable, but she still said calmly: "This won't work, that won't work either, so what should I do?"
The main thing is that she should be at home. If she doesn't go, it won't make sense either logically or sensibly.
At this moment, a loud voice sounded at the door: "Sister, what should I do?"
Seeing Tian Jianle striding in, the depression in Tian Lingling's heart was swept away. The third brother usually has the best ideas, and now that he is back, he won't have to worry about things this time.
Tian Lingling stepped forward, took the bag held by Tian Jianle and said, "Third brother, I thought you wouldn't come back until tomorrow?"
Tian Jianle entered the kitchen first, drank a ladle of water and then entered the main room: "Originally, I planned to come back tomorrow, but after thinking about the matter of Lingling falling into the water, I thought it was wrong. We have to find out whether it is really the soul saved by Nian Qiu.
spirit."
Lingling slipped and fell into the water while trying to pick up her hat, and Tian Daya threw herself into the river at that moment. What a coincidence. Moreover, he remembered that Peng Nianqiu was short and thin. Could he have saved Lingling with his body? Since he doubted this, he was sure
We need to find out clearly, but we can’t allow ourselves to repay the wrong favor.
Tian Lingling gave a thumbs up and praised: "Third brother is still the most powerful. Third brother, it has been confirmed that it was not Nian Qiu who saved me but Da Ya. Third brother, how can Nian Qiu do such a thing?"
Tian Jianle thought that indeed, there are no such coincidences in the world: "Of course she is seeking benefits. Everyone in the village knows that your parents love you and saved you. Your parents will definitely take care of her in the future."
