Pei Yue liked writing Spring Festival couplets very much. According to him, he was also happy when he saw the villagers' joy when they got the Spring Festival couplets. Likewise, he did not stop Tian Shao from writing from early morning to noon, and only allowed him to rest several times.
Before eating, Si Ya said to Tian Shao with some regret: "Second sister is not at home, I always feel that something is missing."
Grandma Nie fell seriously ill again after winter, and now she is taking medicine to hang on to her life. However, the doctor said that she won't be able to survive for long, so they should be mentally prepared.
Likewise, Tian Dalin and Li Guihua took the initiative to ask Nie Suozhu and Erya to spend the New Year with Grandma Nie.
Tian Shao heard this and said with a smile: "Now is just the beginning. When you all get married and have children in the future, it will be difficult for our family to get together for a reunion dinner."
Si Ya said doubtfully: "Sister, what you said is as if you don't want to get married and have children."
Tian Shao wanted to wait for Tian Dalin to retire and take the couple to Sijiu City, so she excluded herself. However, it was still early and she did not inform everyone of her plan: "Si Ya, I want the family to not be separated.
Just try to stay and work in the same city. You and Wuya study hard, and you will both get admitted to No. 49 City in the future."
Sanya and Liuya will definitely stay in Sijiu City, leaving only Siya and Wuya. As for Erya, she puts men first in everything and is not in Tian Shao's consideration.
Si Ya really wanted to go to Sijiucheng to study, but considering her low score, she didn't dare to have extravagant hopes.
There is a custom in Jiang Province that you have to wash your hair and take a bath on New Year's Eve. As soon as Tian Shao came out of the shower, she saw a group of children following Si Ya. She asked in confusion: "Si Ya, what are you doing?"
New Year greetings only begin on the first day of the Lunar New Year. On this day, warm and generous people will put things in their children's pockets when they get home. Some stingy people will hide good food so that they won't see it.
Siya said with a smile: "I told them that I have a TV at home, but they didn't believe it. I will turn on the TV now to show them to let them know that I am not lying."
The TV had been moved to Li Guihua and Tian Dalin's room. The room was so small that there was no room for so many children to stand. Tian Shao called Pei Yue and asked him to move the TV to the table in the main room.
When these children saw the TV, they all screamed with excitement.
Tian Shao thought it was very noisy, but Pei Yue liked it very much. In the past, he was always alone during the New Year, so now the house is lively and lively. He likes it very much and feels popular.
Pei Yue turned on the TV and adjusted the channel for them to watch. After watching for a while, a child ran out. He thought it was for convenience, but he didn't expect to call his friends.
It didn't take long for the main room to be full. Some people couldn't fit in anymore and leaned at the door to watch.
Tian Shao looked at this scene and said with a smile to Pei Yue: "Our house is so lively now, I can't even take a nap."
Pei Yue said, "If you feel sleepy, go to your uncle's house and take a nap."
Tian Shao was used to taking naps at noon, and she felt lack of energy if she didn't sleep in the afternoon and evening. She didn't want to chase people away during the Chinese New Year, so she followed Pei Yue's suggestion and went to her uncle's house to sleep.
After she got up, her eldest aunt pulled her to talk: "Xiao Shao, Sankui will be twenty-one soon. I'm going to offer him a wife, but your uncle doesn't agree."
Tian Shao refused to accept this. She said: "This is Sangui's lifelong event. Auntie, you have to ask him for his opinion."
She can still guarantee the job, but she dare not interfere in the matter of marrying a wife. In the future, if the Sangui has a girl he likes, she will help check it. As for the introduction, she will not interfere unless she knows the details.
The eldest aunt said: "I asked him, and he said that he was not in a hurry to get married at a young age. He is already twenty-one, and his eldest and second brothers are already married and have children at this age. Xiaoshao, please help me persuade him.
I advise your uncle and Sankui."
Tian Shao shook his head and said: "Auntie, Sankui is not a child anymore. Let him make his own decisions about life-long matters!"
Sankui had great ambitions and wanted to marry a girl from Sijiucheng. How could he agree to go home and get married? However, Sankui himself didn't say anything, and Tian Shao wouldn't talk about it.
The eldest aunt was disappointed when she refused.
Tian Shao returned home and found that the children were still there. She asked Li Guihua who was working in the kitchen: "Mom, they have been watching it for more than an hour. Watching too much TV is not good for your eyes. Let them all go back!"
"What, watching too much TV is bad for your eyes?"
Seeing Tian Shao nodding, Li Guihua immediately ran to the main room to turn off the TV, and then said to the children: "After dinner, I will watch it for you for another hour."
Si Ya was reluctant to let go. After all the children had gone out, she wanted to turn on the TV, but Li Guihua twisted her ears and sent her back to the house.
Li Guihua said: "Hurry up and finish the essay. If you don't finish it, I will slap you later."
In the evening, Erya and Nie Suozhu came back.
Li Guihua saw her and asked: "I didn't ask you to stay with the old lady at Nie's house, why did you come back?"
Erya said: "It was grandma who asked us to come back. She said we would keep vigil tonight. Dad is old and can't let her get tired. Mom, it's okay. We will go with her the next day."
Li Guihua sighed: "This life is not easy for the old lady. If she wants to eat now, don't be reluctant to buy it for her."
Now that my life is getting better, when I look back on the past, I feel like I was soaked in yellow lotus. And because I have a broader view now, Li Guihua is not as picky as before.
Tian Shao saw Erya calling her into his room, giving her two boxes of bird's nests, teaching her how to make them, and then said: "From now on, I will stew a cup of it every day. Eating this food is not only good for you, but also for the children."
.”
Her best friend ate bird's nests from the moment she got pregnant until she was weaned. Not only was her health better than before, but her baby's skin was smooth, supple and meaningful after birth.
Erya asked: "Sister, is this expensive?"
Tian Shao glanced at her and said, "Fortunately, it's just your two years' salary."
Erya's hands shook. This time she had benefited from the child: "Sister, thank you."
Tian Shao also noticed her swollen belly and said, "You are due to give birth in more than a month. Please move around more. When the due date comes, I will ask my mother to go to the county seat to accompany you."
"good."
Tian Shao asked about their business and heard Nie Suozhu running around collecting vegetables and poultry. She said: "You can make arrangements for vegetables and poultry with villages you are familiar with, so that they will also diversify vegetables and raise more poultry."
Erya shook his head and said, "I don't know what the market will be like next year. What if I'm not allowed to sell vegetables? It's still the same as now. Although I'm a little tired, I'm at least safe."
After all, the turmoil in the past few years has made everyone, including Mr. and Mrs. Tian Dalin, uneasy.
Tian Shao also understood and said, "When did you change your mind? Give me a call then."
She was thinking that if they changed their minds and dared to order vegetables and poultry with the villagers a few months in advance, she would help them buy a tractor or a tricycle. As for what to buy, it would depend on what they could buy.
Erya misunderstood, and said with a smile: "Sister, Suozhu and I have also saved some money this year, so even if we really make reservations for vegetables and poultry, we can take advantage of it."
Tian Shao didn't explain, he just said: "Let me know when you have figured it out."
Erya didn't know why, but still nodded in agreement.
