Tian Shao got up at dawn, washed up and sat down to drink porridge. There is also a benefit to coming here. He goes to bed early and gets up early every day, unlike before when he didn't go to bed before twelve o'clock, so he goes to bed early.
When the two of them went out, Li Guihua also warned: "Da Ya, come back quickly after buying the book, don't wander around."
"Know it!"
Tianjia Village is not far from the county seat. It can be reached by walking in an hour. This road is relatively flat, but it is full of stones. Cloth shoes will sting your feet when you step on it. Tian Shao thought that the first thing he would do when he made money was to go there.
Buy a pair of sandals.
As the two of them walked and chatted, Li Sankui said: "Cousin, I want to buy a red scarf. Do you think there is one in the county?"
Tian Shao turned his head, looked at him and asked, "Who are you buying it for, aunt?"
Uncle Li gave birth to two daughters and three sons. Unfortunately, the second daughter died at the age of three. The first three have already married and had children, but now only the third chief has not yet married. But because he is the youngest son, he is favored.
"No, I bought it for Fangfang, Uncle Qing's little daughter. She has always wanted a red scarf."
Tian Shao saw that his expression was as usual, and he was sure that he was not his sweetheart, so he didn't care: "Where can I buy scarves in this hot weather now? If you want to fulfill my wish, come to the county town to buy them when the weather gets colder."
Li Sankui touched the back of his head and smiled sheepishly.
At this time, someone passed by them on a bicycle. Tian Shao looked at the other person's back and missed his car very much. Alas, he can only think about it. He will have to take the 11th route to go out for a long time.
.
"Cousin, if we also have a bicycle, it will be more convenient to go out."
Tian Shao glanced at him and said, "The mountain road is rugged and bumpy, so even if you have a bicycle, you won't be able to use it."
The walk to Li's house is all about small roads. Not to mention it's raining, even if the weather is good, it's easy to fall down. In addition, it's too far, so the five sisters rarely go into the mountains.
Seeing that Li Sankui stopped talking, Tian Shao comforted him and said: "Actually, living in the mountains is quite good. My uncle knows how to hunt and has twenty acres of paddy fields at home. He has never shortchanged you. It's not like in the city, where many people
They’re all hungry!”
After making a sound, Li Sankui said in disbelief: "How is it possible? People in the city eat commercial food, how can they still be hungry?"
Tian Shao said: "Not all urbanites have jobs. Food for urbanites is rationed. A person like you should have about forty kilograms of grain a month. Do you think one kilogram of grain a day is enough for you?"
A young man like me would starve to death. A young man like Li Sankui could probably make two kilograms of grain a day.
Li Sankui was skeptical about this: "Since the city is not good, why does everyone want to go to the city? Uncle Deqing especially wants Fangfang to marry into the city!"
Tian Shao said: "Those who live well in the city are those who have jobs, and those who do not have jobs are not as good as those in the mountains. Uncle Deqing really married his daughter to the city, and her husband's family looked down upon her without a job. Instead of living in the city,
It's better to work as a cow or a horse than to marry a farmer. Although it's a bit tiring, you won't be bullied."
Li Sankui hesitated: "It shouldn't be the case, right? If you dislike Sister Fangfang for not having a job, you don't have to marry her. Why bother?"
Tian Shao really felt that this child was simple. She smiled and said: "Normally, those who marry girls from the mountains are those from poor families who cannot find a wife. Unless she is very beautiful and is attracted by a working man. But men like her.
, the mother-in-law will be rubbed even if she doesn’t like it. Of course, what I’m talking about is just a common phenomenon. Maybe she is lucky enough to meet a man who loves her and a kind-hearted mother-in-law."
A situation like what she said later is as difficult as winning a lottery ticket. However, there is no absolute. As long as the girl can stand up and be close to her husband, she will definitely live well. But this kind of woman can live well anywhere.
Well done.
Upon hearing this, Li Sankui hurriedly said: "I'll tell Uncle Deqing when I get back."
Tian Shao said nothing. As much as Tian Dalin and Li Guihua loved Daya, they also had selfish motives in her marriage. Uncle Deqing wanted his daughter to marry in the county town. Only he knew whether he really wanted his daughter to live a good life.
It became lively when we arrived at the county town, and there were many bicycles that were rare to see in the countryside. Li Sankui saw them riding fast, and his eyes flashed with envy.
Tian Shao looked at the people coming and going, either wearing Chinese tunic suits or gray clothes, and secretly sighed that this was too monotonous. Fortunately, it would change after two or three years, otherwise she would not know if she could persist like this for the rest of her life.
Go down.
Li Sankui asked in a low voice: "Cousin, where are we going now?"
Tian Shao didn't say anything, he just asked him to follow.
The two went to the supply and marketing cooperative first. When they entered, they saw the salesperson in front of the counter hooking up the soles of shoes. Tian Shao secretly thought that this was really leisurely. She walked up and said, "Sister, I want to buy a pack of cigarettes."
Li Sankui looked at the wrinkles on the salesperson's face and was surprised that Tian Shao could even call her "sister".
The salesperson is an older lady in her thirties. She originally looked like she didn't want to talk to you, but her expression softened a lot after hearing this: "What brand do you want to buy?"
Tian Shao said embarrassedly: "Sister, I want to buy it as a gift, but I don't have a cigarette ticket. I don't know what kind of cigarettes I can buy?"
The salesperson took out two cigarettes of different colors from under the counter, pointed at them and said: "This is swimming, and this is Hongtashan. It's pretty good to give it away. It's also your luck. It happens that these two cigarettes don't require cigarette tickets now."
Already."
Tian Shao had never seen the brand before, but she was very familiar with Hongtashan. Because her grandfather smoked this kind of cigarettes. When she was a child, she often used money to buy them at the canteen downstairs, and used the remaining money to buy popsicles or other snacks.
Li Sankui became anxious upon hearing this. When he saw her taking out the money, he pulled her aside and asked, "Cousin, cousin, why did you buy this?"
"Didn't I just say that I wanted to give it away? Why are you so deaf at such a young age?"
Li Sankui grabbed Tian Shao's arm and asked: "Giving it to someone, who? Why did you only say you were buying books before, but not cigarettes? Cousin, if I let my aunt know about this, I will beat you to death."
Even he will have to be punished when the time comes.
Tian Shao said: "As long as you don't tell me, how will my mother know? Well, don't stop me, this cigarette is related to my future. If you don't let me buy it, I won't be able to sign up.
You can’t afford to pay for it.”
Although Li Sankui was young, he still knew that destroying someone's future was like killing someone's life. How could he dare to stop him? So he could only watch Tian Shao buy two packets of Red Mountain.
After walking for a while, I asked a middle-aged man carrying a black briefcase: "Comrade, how can I get to the textile factory?"
The man looked at Shimodian Shao and asked warily: "What are you doing in the textile factory?"
Tian Shao smiled and said: "We are from Tianjia Village, Hongqi Commune. My cousin works in a textile factory. My brother and I went to visit her and give her something by the way."
The man looked at the backpack Li Sankui was carrying, nodded and pointed forward: "You guys go to the fork in front and turn left. Go forward two hundred meters and turn right. Go straight and you'll be there soon."
Li Sankui was confused when he heard this. After the man left, he asked: "Cousin, do you remember what he said?"
"Remember, let's go!"
"Oh," Li Sankui said in confusion: "Cousin, do you have a cousin who works in a textile factory? Why didn't I know?"
Tian Shao couldn't help laughing when he saw his stupid look, and said: "Don't you know if I have a cousin? Well, stop talking nonsense and leave quickly!"
