Tian Shao saw Sanya carefully carrying the dishes and chopsticks to the kitchen, and said with a smile: "I will clean up the dishes. You go and take a test on Siya and Wuya to see if they still remember what they have learned in the past few days."
Sanya was worried that washing the dishes would stain her clothes, so she agreed immediately after hearing this.
But Li Guihua pushed Tian Shao away and said, "Go and get the kerosene lamp from my room and go back to read!"
Before, she was sure that Tian Shao would not pass the exam, so she did not support it, but now seeing how much Director Li and her mother attach great importance to it, she felt that her daughter might really be able to pass the exam, otherwise others would not value her so much.
"No, you've been tired for a long day, so take a good rest."
Tian Dalin pulled Li Guihua and said, "Listen to Da Ya, just sit here and take a rest."
Although it was a pity that he did not have a son, these five girls were all extremely filial, and he felt that all the hard work over the years was worth it.
Tian Shao was very satisfied with Tian Dalin's attitude and felt that she might be able to have the right to speak after she was admitted to the textile factory.
The couple were talking with their heads down when suddenly someone outside shouted loudly: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law..."
Li Guihua looked at the woman standing outside the fence with a basket, and deliberately yelled: "The queen didn't come out from the west today, and the three younger siblings actually came to our door!"
Tian Dalin has three brothers, and Grandma Tian doesn’t like the eldest son favoring the two younger ones. When Tian Dalin reaches the age of marrying a wife, Grandma Tian doesn’t want to pay a bride price, but wants him to marry the unattractive and lame daughter of the captain of the next village. Tian Dalin doesn’t want to
Yes, I happened to meet Li Guihua at that time, and she fell in love with her the first time they met. But Grandma Tian firmly disagreed with the marriage. In the end, Li Guihua compromised and said that she could do without the bride price, but she also put forward a condition, that is, the family must be separated after the marriage.
Pass.
Unexpectedly, after getting married, Grandma Tian kicked Tian Dalin out. The house, land, and money were not divided between the couple. It was the former captain who came forward and divided the land to the couple based on their heads. Grandma Tian did such a great job that Tian Dalin completely
Han Xin was also worried that his poor reputation would affect his daughter's marriage, so he showed up during New Years and holidays to deliver some food, and would not come to the door at other times.
As for Li Guihua, she never came to the house when her mother-in-law died. And Grandma Tian was a patriarchal person. Not only did she not give the five sisters a good look, but she also always told the villagers that Li Guihua was a hen that couldn't lay eggs. That's it.
The two brothers Tian Erlin and Tian Sanlin always accused Tian Dalin of being unfilial. Although they were brothers, their relationship was not as close as that of the villagers. The same was true. Li Guihua never looked good when she saw them.
Ma Xiaomei said: "Brother, sister-in-law, please let me in first. It's hard to say anything even if I'm standing at the door."
When she said this, she deliberately opened the basket in her hand, revealing five white eggs inside.
Li Guihua wanted to know what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd, so she opened the door and let her in. She didn't want Ma Xiaomei to stare at Erya and Sanya as soon as they entered the yard. It was so nice to wear such good clothes for these two ugly girls.
A good thing is wasted.
Because of the bad relationship between the two families, the sisters ignored Ma Xiaomei.
Li Guihua said impatiently: "If you have something to say, hurry up and let it go. If you fart, put your things down and get out of here."
Ma Xiaomei licked her face and said: "Brother, sister-in-law, didn't someone promise Feng'er a marriage and we'll see each other after the summer harvest? My family is poor and I don't have good clothes, so I just want to wait for Feng'er to see each other."
Erya wears this kind of clothes."
She had been worried about this matter a few days ago. Today she heard that Tian Shao had brought back a large bag of clothes from the county town, and she became interested. After hesitating for a long time, she decided to come over and try her luck. Knowing that Li Guihua was not easy to talk to, she specially brought five eggs.
Come on. Fortunately, I'm lucky. This dress looks good.
Erya refused as soon as she heard it: "I won't borrow it."
Li Guihua knew that this woman was up to no good. She sneered and said, "Isn't your niece married in the county? I don't have any good clothes to borrow from your niece!"
If someone with a good relationship comes to visit, Li Guihua may agree. After all, seeing each other is a lifetime event, but Tian Erlin and Tian Sanlin don't want to take advantage of them.
Ma Xiaomei said: "If you don't borrow it in vain, you can borrow it for one day and I will give you ten eggs."
Li Guihua was very interested in borrowing clothes in exchange for eggs. She said: "This clothes is made of really good material. Ten eggs are too few. I need at least twenty eggs."
Ma Xiaomei screamed: "Why don't you go and grab it?"
Li Guihua chuckled and said, "I don't want to. If you don't want to, leave quickly."
Ma Xiaomei wanted to leave, but she couldn't look at each other wearing dusty clothes, otherwise the man would have to underestimate his daughter. She gritted her teeth and said, "Let Erya stand up and show me these clothes."
Erya was not happy at first, but she didn't object if she could exchange twenty eggs for one day, so she stood up cooperatively. She used to wear coarse clothes, but this dress was made of bright, soft, and very comfortable.
Ma Xiaomei stepped forward and touched it, confirming that it was really true, and reluctantly agreed: "Here are five eggs. The rest will be given to you on the day when I get the clothes. But they must be as clean and bright as they are now, otherwise I won't let them."
I say this specifically because I am worried that the clothes will get dirty or wrinkled when I borrow them.
Li Guihua agreed immediately.
Ma Xiaomei glanced around and said, "Sister-in-law, where is the eldest sister?"
She also wanted to find out what was going on with the female clerk in the textile factory. If Da Ya was really good friends with that female clerk, she might be able to help her buy some cloth or something if she came to visit her in the future.
Li Guihua rolled her eyelids and said rudely: "If you have nothing to do, leave quickly. I'm busy here!"
Seeing that Daya couldn't come out, Ma Xiaomei had nothing to do, so she gave the egg to Li Guihua and went back.
Li Guihua confiscated the five eggs and put them in the kitchen cupboard. Then she and Tian Shao said: "Reading is a waste of time. Let's take twenty eggs to the county town first. Eat two tonic every day. When we finish eating, I will
Let your father deliver it again."
After Tian Shao agreed, he asked: "Mom, do the girls in the village always borrow clothes from each other?"
Li Guihua said with a smile: "Not only do we look at each other, many people will borrow clothes when they get married. Our family used to be poor and no one came to our house, but this time we also benefited from Director Li's favor."
Tian Shao understood that it was all caused by poverty.
Seeing that he was about to go to bed, Li Sankui couldn't bear it when he saw that Tian Shao hadn't done anything yet, and said, "Cousin, didn't you say you wanted to give the soda to Erya and Sanya? Why haven't you given it to them?"
Li Guihua reacted very quickly and asked: "What soda?"
Li Sankui smacked the bar and savored the taste: "Soda is a very delicious water. Sister-in-law, Director Li gave me and my cousin a bottle each. My cousin took a sip and said she would bring it back to her cousins.
drink."
Tian Dalin knew about this soda, and explained from the side: "It is a very expensive drink, a bottle seems to cost five or six cents."
You can buy a bag of salt for five or six cents, but he is reluctant to buy it.
Si Ya looked at Tian Shao and her eyes almost gleamed. She asked anxiously: "Sister, where is the soda? I want to drink it."
Tian Shao forgot about the matter while she was busy. She went into the room and took out the soda for the four sisters to take turns drinking.
After finishing the drink, Si Ya held the bottle and licked it and said: "It tastes so good, eldest sister, when can I drink this soda again?"
After hearing this, Li Guihua couldn't help but scolded her again: "Whatever you want to drink, you don't even earn enough to buy a bottle of soda in a day."
Tian Shao smiled and said: "Mom, a bottle of soda is worth six cents, but you can refund three points for the bottle. You can refund it anywhere you go."
Upon hearing this, Li Guihua immediately put the bottle away, making Tian Shao laugh secretly.
