On the 16th day of the first lunar month, Tian Shao returned to the county town early in the morning. Tian Dalin and Li Guihua accompanied Liuya to register at school. The couple felt very indebted to their daughter, and now they were trying their best to do everything well.
After the Lantern Festival, Tian Shao discovered that Mrs. Shen went out early and came back late every day. It was getting dark that day, and Tian Shao was drinking medicine before Mrs. Shen came back.
Tian Shao couldn't help but ask: "Grandma Shen, what have you been busy with recently, and why do you always come back so late?"
Old Mrs. Shen said with a smile: "My sister-in-law is not feeling well, so I will help take care of her grandnephew these days."
After hearing this, Tian Shao didn't ask any more questions.
It was Sunday in a blink of an eye, and Erya arrived carrying firewood and vegetables. As soon as she saw Tian Shao, she couldn't wait to say: "Sister, in the afternoon of the Lantern Festival, Sanli broke into grandma's cabinet, and grandma beat him. Sanli not only scolded grandma He was so old that he knocked her to the ground. She sprained her waist and didn't go to the hospital. She thought she would be fine after resting, but she couldn't get up the next day."
According to Tian Shao's understanding, Tian Erli is better among Tian Erlin's three sons. However, this child is taciturn and is not liked by his wife. Tian Dali is favored because he is the eldest grandson. Under the influence of Mrs. Tian, he feels that the six sisters are losers. ;Tian Sanli is a very naughty kid, he often fights with others and especially likes to bully Siya and Wuya.
Tian Shao asked: "Have you been sent to the hospital now?"
It's not surprising that the little bully would pry into Old Mrs. Tian's cabinet. After all, he knows that the old lady loves him and won't do anything to him.
Erya shook her head and said, "No, I asked Uncle Zhang to get some plaster. But after checking, Uncle Zhang said that grandma must rest in bed and not work, otherwise she may be paralyzed if she falls again."
After hearing this, Mrs. Tian dared not be brave and just lay down on the bed to rest.
Seeing that she just looked at him and refused to continue talking, Tian Shao said angrily: "Don't show off, finish the matter in one breath."
Erya laughed twice and then said: "Uncle Zhang gave me ten pairs of plasters, and I have to apply one pair every day. Each one costs 60 cents. The second aunt didn't want to pay for it alone and had to be shared equally among the three families. The third aunt didn't want to follow." She had a fight."
"Where's mother? What's your attitude?"
What kind of attitude can Li Guihua have? Naturally, she is not willing to give out a penny. If she is ill, she doesn't want to be scolded for being unfilial. Now she is injured by being pushed down by Tian Sanli. reason.
Tian Shao thought about Tian Dalin's temperament and said: "My uncle came to me last time and said that he would cut some wood before spring plowing to build a house next year. Now that there is nothing to do, I asked my father to go into the mountains to help my uncle's family cut wood. .”
The wood needs to be stored for a while before it can be used, so prepare it early.
Erya made a sound and said, "Didn't the doctor say that dad's job as a cadre involves heavy physical work? Chopping wood is very tiring."
Tian Shao glanced at her and said with a smile: "My uncle's family also knows about dad's situation and will not let him be tired."
Maybe Tian Dalin won't pay for the medical expenses, but he will definitely take care of the old lady. In this case, her purpose will not be achieved.
Erya thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll help too."
Tian Shao looked at Erya, who was a head shorter than him, shook his head and said, "Don't do so much heavy physical work anymore. Look, it makes people shorter."
Erya didn't care and said: "I'm not short. I'm fine at home, why not go into the mountains and help my uncle with some work."
Okay, this girl is also restless, Tian Shao just told her to take it easy and don't show off.
After talking about Mrs. Shen, Erya told her about a new thing in the village: "Brother Jianle found a temporary worker job for her eldest brother in the power plant, and he went to work the day before yesterday. I heard that he had waited
After the probationary period, I can get sixteen yuan a month, which is almost the same as a regular employee. Now Mrs. Na Tian speaks much louder to people."
She curled her lips when she said this. It was enviable to be able to find a job in the city even as a temporary worker, but was it necessary to be so exaggerated? Her sister was a regular worker in a textile factory, so she was never proud!
This is actually a deviation in thinking. For Tian Shao, this is just a job, a job that allows her to get away from farm work and support her family. But for Sister Tian, this is the first step to get out of farming, which is of great significance.
Tian Shao said with a smile: "Brother Tian also went to work in the city, so all six members of his family are settled. Not to mention our Tianjia Village, even the entire county is the only one."
Erya couldn't help but sigh when he heard this: "Who says it's not the case? After joining the army, he can also be assigned jobs after changing jobs, and Tian Jianye can also be assigned jobs after graduating from university. From now on, all six of their brothers will be paid."
"Envy?"
Erya said bluntly: "Who is not envious? Sister, can you help me keep an eye on the factories in the county to see if any of the factories in the county are recruiting temporary workers? I can do anything, as long as I don't farm at home."
The reason why he dared to say this was because Tian Shao had promised to find a job for her.
Tian Shao raised his head and glanced at her and said: "The factory requires workers to be over 16 years old when recruiting workers. You will not be 15 years old in two months, so you do not meet the recruitment requirements."
Eryahun said nonchalantly: "What's the point? Just change your age to one year older."
Well, Tian Shao really hasn't thought about this operation. In her last life, she was not willing to say her age after she was twenty-five years old, so why would she want to write her age to the older one? But this is still a way, after all, temporary workers are no longer willing to say it.
It's not as tiring as farm work. Summer harvest and autumn harvest can really make people peel off a layer of skin.
Tian Shao said: "Even for temporary workers, there are many people competing for them. If you want to get a job, you must either have excellent abilities, have connections in your family, or spend money to buy a job. Our family does not have any of the three.
Don’t think about it for now.”
Erya really wanted to say that you promised to help me find a job before, but now this is not contradictory! But although she has a bad temper, she is not a fool, so she just thinks about it in her heart but dare not say it out.
After lunch, Erya went home. When she got home, she relayed Tian Shao's words to Tian Dalin and his wife. Uncle Li had helped their family so much over the years, and now he had to help chop wood to build a house.
After arranging things at home, Tian Dalin took Erya into the mountains. Because Siya and the others were studying, Li Guihua couldn't leave.
At noon on the second day after he entered the mountain, his second uncle called Mr. and Mrs. Tian Sanlin and Li Guihua to talk about Mrs. Tian. It turned out that Xu Zhaodi had burned her hand and was unable to take care of Mrs. Tian, and Tian Dali's daughter-in-law was pregnant again.
No. The second uncle meant to let Li Guihua and Ma Xiaomei take turns taking care of her.
Li Guihua refused flatly and said: "When we couldn't separate the family, we didn't have any money. Now we have to take care of her when she's sick. It doesn't make sense. And the old lady told her back then that she didn't need me to take care of her even if she was sick or paralyzed."
Second uncle, you were also present and heard it with your own ears."
The second uncle had nothing to do with Li Guihua, so he could only force Tian Sanlin and his wife to take care of the old lady, and then take over after Xu Zhaodi's hand was healed.
On the way home, Li Guihua was glad that her husband was not here, otherwise her husband's honest and honest temperament would definitely have compromised. Thinking of this, she was heartbroken, and the eldest girl specifically told her husband to go into the mountains, perhaps guessing that Xu Zhaodi was going to have an affair.
Li Guihua smiled and said to herself: "This girl is getting better and better."
