In the evening, Tian Shao told stories to his five younger sisters. She is now smarter and no longer tells fairy tales about future generations, but about movies she has watched. Even if this story is told to four or five girls, she is not afraid.
At half past eight, Tian Shao coaxed them to go to bed.
It is customary to go to New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year. The first place Tian Shao went to was Mrs. Tian. Because there was a bet, Mrs. Tian was afraid of making her unhappy, but she was very nice.
Seeing that the two sisters were about to leave after calling someone and saying a few auspicious words, Xu Zhaodi hurriedly said: "Da Ya, you are working now, why don't you give your brothers new year's money?"
Nowadays, everyone's life is not good. Tian Shao asked Sanya, Siya and others to stay at home because of the cold weather, and only took Erya to visit each family to pay New Year's greetings.
Tian Shao said with a half-smile but not a smile: "Second Aunt, as the old saying goes, what comes and goes comes. Second uncle and second aunt have never given us sisters lucky money. Why are you asking me to give Sanli lucky money today?"
Xu Zhaodi said confidently: "That's because our family is poor and we can't afford the New Year's money. You are different now. You are paid a salary, and the New Year's money is not much."
How many cents is not much? A pound of meat is only more than 60 cents. Erya feels that Xu Zhaodi is becoming more and more shameless.
Tian Shao had a smile on his face, but his words could choke people to death: "It's not much, but I don't want to give it!"
After the two sisters left, Xu Zhaodi complained that Mrs. Tian did not help her, otherwise Tian Shao would definitely get some blood.
Mrs. Tian glanced at her and said: "This girl is the most vindictive. When Li Guihua had a difficult delivery and Li Lao Er refused to lend money, she still remembers her until now, which made the two families no longer have any contact with each other. You scolded Li Guihua so many times,
If I didn't live here, do you think she would come to your door?"
Da Ya disowns her uncle, and even Li Guihua's fierce temper can't stop the two families from falling out. If Da Ya turns her back and disowns her as her grandmother, even the boss's useless things can't stop her. Although she is still in trouble now.
, but I don’t dare to really fall out with Tian Dalin’s family. If I do, I won’t get any benefits.
Xu Zhaodi was silent.
Tian Shao and Erya paid New Year's greetings to each of their relatives. They sat down and chatted for a few words with each other and gave New Year's money to the younger generation. Those with whom they were not close said hello and left after a few words.
There are more than 180 households in Tianjia Village, which is a large village, of which the Tianjia family accounts for 60%. Because the Tianjia family is poor and Li Guihua has a bad temper, except for those who are very close by blood, such as the second uncle and the third uncle, there are no other distant relatives.
He was walking around. Even so, Tian Shao went out at 8:10 and didn't finish until 11:30.
When Tian Shao returned home, he felt that smoke was coming out of his throat. After drinking a glass of water, he lay on the bed and said, "I'm going to catch up on my sleep. Don't call me when dinner is ready!"
"Sister, you still need to take medicine!"
Well, taking medicine is now an essential part of every day.
I haven't slept in since I came here. Alas, it's too hard to maintain the original character. I think I finished the college entrance examination and had to work on projects to catch up with the schedule. That's why I worked so hard.
It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when Tian Shao got dressed and went out. Sanya brought over the warm food in the pot: "Sister, are you hungry? Eat quickly."
Tian Shao was really hungry. He quickly pooped a bowl of rice into his stomach, and then drank a bowl of bone soup.
Sanya put away the dishes and said, "Sister, I'll make some medicine for you."
Just as Tian Shao was about to say hello, she heard Li Guihua cursing. She frowned and asked what was going on.
Sanya said unhappily: "Sister, just now cousin Lin Sheng came to pay New Year's greetings. Dad didn't stop them from coming in, but turned around and went back to the house. Mom asked the second sister to entertain her, but the second sister didn't want to, so she got angry.
.I didn’t have an attack at that time. I lost my temper just now when Cousin Linsheng and the others left."
Those who came on New Year's Day were both guests and juniors, so Tian Dalin treated them coldly if he didn't want to chase them away.
Sanya thought Tian Shao would stop Li Guihua, but she didn't expect that she picked up a book and read it, and then refused to let herself out. When Li Guihua stopped swearing, she walked out.
Tian Shao walked past Li Guihua and went straight into the back room: "Dad, let's go and wish Captain Tian's family a happy New Year!"
"good."
The two of them didn't take anything, but Tian Shao gave red envelopes after seeing Captain Tian's grandchildren. It wasn't much, each red envelope cost five cents, but Captain Tian's wife was still very satisfied after seeing it.
Captain Tian knew something was up when he saw the father and daughter coming over. He asked his wife to bring melon seeds and peanuts, and then said with a smile: "Brother Dalin, you have gained a lot of weight."
Tian Dalin touched his face and said with a smile: "Well, my sweet-scented osmanthus also said that I am fat."
In the past, in order to pay off the debt as early as possible, their family always ate two thin meals in winter, because cats could survive the winter without working. But now they eat three meals a day, and they eat meat and drink bone soup every now and then.
His family doesn't let him do heavy physical work, and he can't even think about getting fat.
Not only did Tian Dalin look more energetic after gaining weight, he no longer had chest tightness and dizziness.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Tian Shao went straight to the topic: "Captain, my uncle wants his grandson to go to school, so he wants to buy a piece of foundation and build a few houses in the village. This way, the children will have a place to live when they go to school."
Captain Tian shook his head and said: "Da Ya, the land in the team cannot be sold. It would be a mistake to sell it."
If the villagers in the team want to build a house, they can ask the team to get a piece of homestead land. This is how the land for Tian Dalin's house came from. But this is collective land and cannot be sold. If it is sold, it will be reported.
Tian Shao smiled and nodded: "I know this, so my uncle wants to buy an ownerless house in the village. I think the villagers will not object."
There are two ownerless houses in the village. They are said to be houses but in fact they only have a few mud walls. Villagers will not want houses like this because it will cost a lot of money to knock down the walls and re-build the foundation. It is better to just build them directly.
A foundation is needed to save trouble.
Captain Tian was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and agreed: "Okay, in a few days I will gather all the villagers to discuss this matter."
No one wanted these two houses in such a dilapidated condition. If Uncle Li wanted to buy them, the villagers would not object. After all, he was buying them with money and not giving them away for free.
After talking about the house, Captain Tian asked Tian Shao: "Da Ya, there is little land in our village, and every household is having a hard time. You are very clever, can you think of a way to make everyone live a better life?"
There are many ways to make money, but Tian Shao didn't think of a suitable one for a while. She didn't do everything, but just said tactfully: "Uncle, I don't have any ideas now. If I think of it, I will tell you as soon as possible."
Some people in the village are very bad, but most of them are kind-hearted. When Li Guihua took Wuya home, many people came to visit and gave her things, and several aunts and sisters-in-law came to take care of them in turn. These things have always happened.
She kept it all in mind, and she wanted to repay this kindness to the original person if she had the chance.
