The Liu family sent many souvenirs, including snacks and fruits, as well as many medicinal tonics. Tian Minyan couldn't refuse, so she accepted them. However, she sealed three envelopes of silver, one or two of which were for Aunt Zheng, and two envelopes.
The five hundred coins were given to the sturdy woman and the driver.
When Aunt Zheng left, two brothers, Tian Minrui, came back from school. They both came forward and saluted. Aunt Zheng praised her a few more times before leaving.
After arriving at Liu's house, she told Liu Ye what she saw and heard in Tian's house, and finally said: "I haven't seen the Tian family's big house yet, but I heard that I have found a job as a ninth-rank official in Henghe.
Only the second brother, I really couldn't stand it. The big one was greedy and the little one was rude. I looked at it coldly. The third brother's character was not bad. The two sons also went to school in town, and they looked very neat.
Clean and polite.”
Liu Ye leaned on the couch and said with a smile: "That's why the saying goes that a dragon gives birth to nine sons, all of them are different. Look at Miss Tian, she doesn't talk and act like a child of eleven or twelve, she's more mature than those adults.
What’s the matter?”
"No, it's quite generous to seal a few envelopes of silver, mine is one tael, and the Tang family's and Lao Ma's are both five hundred dollars." Aunt Zheng said as she took out a red envelope.
"Since I've rewarded you, just keep it." Mrs. Liu Ye glanced at her and said with a smile, "That girl has more eyes than you think. Look, she will have great fortunes in the future."
"Then grandma, will you also move around with these three bedrooms in the future?" Aunt Zheng looked at her and asked.
Liuye lowered his eyes, and after a long time he hummed and said: "We don't know how long we will live in this town. The old lady is thinking about the master. If Yu'er gets better, she will return to Kyoto in the future. Let's go on.
Well, if the third wife of the Tian family is really good-natured, then the friendship will be in vain."
What Liuye said today will become true in the future. The two families move around like relatives and are very close, and his son has a very close relationship with Tian Minyan. Of course, this is a story for another day.
But it was said that after Tian Minyan saw off Nanny Zheng, she, Luo Shi, Tian Minrui and the others returned to the house. As soon as they entered the door, they saw Mrs. Li standing by the table with her back to them, flipping through something.
Xiao Wu immediately shouted: "Thieves, there are thieves."
Mrs. Li was startled, turned around, patted her heart and glared at Xiaowu displeasedly, saying, "What thief? I am your second aunt."
"Second Aunt, why did you come into our house?" Tian Minyan walked in with a sullen face. She looked at the souvenirs from the Liu family that had not been put away on the table. They had been messed up by Mrs. Li, and she couldn't help but frown.
.
"You are not a gentleman if you come in uninvited. Second aunt, the more you do it." Tian Minrui gave her a cold look.
Mrs. Li exclaimed, "It's different now that we're in school. Look at Brother Rui, we can even recite poetry."
"Second sister-in-law, what's the matter with you?"
"It's nothing, I just came to chat with you for a few words." Mrs. Li waved her hand, showed her big teeth and smiled and said: "Can the Liu family's nanny leave?"
"gone."
"Third aunt, you are now rich and powerful, and you have climbed into a big family. It will be very difficult in the future." Li said exaggeratedly, "Did you know that the embroidered flowers on the handkerchief that grandma sent are the same as the real ones?
The satin is so slippery, oh, I have never seen such a good thing in my life. Her third aunt, you must have one too, right? Let me broaden my horizons." He then put the pile of things on the table.
Take aim.
"I didn't even look at what's there, and I don't know what the handkerchief you mentioned looks like." Luo Shi lowered his eyes and said indifferently.
"Second Aunt, I'm looking at how many boxes of snacks my grandma has brought. Do you want to eat them?"
"Your grandma was so stingy that she only gave you a few fruits. She locked them in the closet and said she would keep them for guests." Mrs. Li snorted and then said with a flattering smile: "Girl Yan, do you have some too?"
Let Second Aunt try it too, I haven't tasted this good stuff yet."
"Second Aunt, these gifts must be registered so that we can repay the favor later. Didn't you read it at Grandma's place?" Tian Minyan had already expected Jiang's behavior.
Li opened her mouth and was about to speak when Jiang's voice came from outside the yard again: "Second sister-in-law, where did you go? It's already noon and you haven't cooked yet. Are you going to starve your parents-in-law to death?"
Mrs. Li suddenly looked constipated. She looked at the gifts on the table with reluctance and said with a sour look, "It's better for you to have a third room. If you separate, you won't have to cook."
"If my second aunt is not better, she will go to Yokogawa to become a wife."
Mrs. Li glared at her, saw that none of them had any intention of opening their gifts, curled her lips and walked out.
"You are like a fly. You will go wherever the fragrance smells. You will always be lazy..."
Listening to Jiang's scolding, Tian Minyan shook her head until she saw Xiao Wu looking at the snack box eagerly, and asked with a smile: "Xiao Wu is hungry?"
"Yes." Xiao Wu nodded, licked his lips and said, "I shared the cake that sister made today with other students. They are already hungry."
Tian Minyan smiled slightly, opened the box and pushed it over and said, "Eat it, just don't eat too much, or you won't eat again later."
Xiao Wu looked at the exquisite snacks, nodded, first stuffed a piece into his mouth, then took another piece in each hand and said, "I'm going to play with Erdanzi."
"Don't run too fast, fall carefully, wait for your next family to come for dinner." Luo Shi called after him.
"Why."
Tian Minrui also ate a piece of snacks, and then went to practice calligraphy and calligraphy with her book. Tian Minyan and Luo Shi counted the gifts on the table, and said that they wanted to create a new book to record all the personal details in daily life, so that they could have a book.
I guess I can return the favor in the future, Luo Shi kept saying yes.
Mrs. Li sat in front of the stove, holding her chin and sighing, and kept throwing firewood in her hands. She didn't know that the rice in the pot had long been dry, and she didn't even notice it when a smell of paste came out.
"Mom, what are you doing? The rice is all burnt." Tian Minqing was so hungry that she ran over to look at her and couldn't help but scream when she smelled the burnt smell.
"ah?"
Tian Minqing jumped forward and opened the lid of the pot. A strong burning smell suddenly filled the air. Looking inside the pot, the steaming rice was surrounded by a black circle and was burnt.
Mr. Li was dumbfounded when he saw it. It was over!
"Mom, what are you thinking about? Grandma is going to curse again." Tian Minqing jumped up angrily.
"Isn't this too bad? Your father has been in Henghe for many days and has not come to pick you up. The big family has gone to enjoy the blessings, and only mother and daughter are left here to suffer and have to be married." Li
Shi sat down on the stool angrily, and said with a depressed look on his face: "Do you think your uncle and the others have left us behind? Huh, if it hadn't been for me, he wouldn't have been able to become this official.
There is also a third bedroom. If I hadn’t advocated the separation of the family, would his third bedroom be able to reach a wealthy family like the Liu family? Now everyone has become rich, but they have left me alone, bah! They are all a bunch of white-eyed wolves."
Tian Minqing was also very aggrieved. After the family split, the eldest son left this miserable place and went to Henghe to become a master and a young lady. As for her, she still had to stay here as a village girl, doing menial work, and having to recruit people from time to time.
Jiang's scolding.
There is also Tian Minyan from the third house, who comes up with one idea after another, makes money and has a silver bracelet. It is even more amazing today. There are also wealthy people coming to the door, and the things they give are so exquisite.
It's tight.
When she thought of Tian Minyan owning these things, she felt sour in her heart. Why should that yellow-haired girl get these things? It should be what a person like her should get.
"Humph! They just pity her. Just wait and see whether she will pay attention to her in the future. She will look great if she gets those few things! When I get to Henghe, I can have as many as I want." Tian Minqing felt sour and confused.
A bitter sneer.
"You're still talking about it. I think your father has left us all behind, and maybe he's found a wife over there. I'm afraid they've got it in their bellies." Mrs. Li said gloomily: "What's more?
What wealth?"
"If they don't come to pick her up, can't we go? Let's go alone." Tian Minqing said angrily. She couldn't live in such a poor life anymore.
"Go by yourself?" Ms. Li was stunned and asked stupidly: "How can I go by myself? It's so far away. We don't have money to hire a car, and your grandpa won't allow it either."
"Mom, are you stupid? Who wants to tell them?" Tian Minqing sneered and said: "As for the money to hire a car, we don't have it, but the third aunt and the others do. Aren't they rich now? Borrow a few envoys from them.
"
"No. The girl Minyan is in charge of the money in the third house now. That damn girl is so good that not even a penny will leak out from between her fingers." Ms. Li waved her hands repeatedly.
"This doesn't work, that doesn't work either, so how can it be done? I can't live this life anymore." After hearing this, Tian Minqing was so angry that his face twisted and he screamed.
Ms. Li also had a distressed look on her face, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind. She slapped her thigh and said, "Yes!" She sat up from her chair and said, "I know where the money comes from?"
Tian Minqing was immediately happy after hearing this, and quickly asked: "Mom, have you come up with any good ideas?"
Mrs. Li glanced back furtively, then came close to her and whispered something like this in her ear.
Tian Minqing looked suspicious, and after Li finished speaking, he hesitated and said, "Will this work?"
"Otherwise, what else can you do?" Mrs. Li snorted: "Look, will that family be reluctant to part with these few taels of silver?"
"Sure, that's it." Tian Minqing said cruelly, and raised her lips coldly: "When she finds out, we will all be in Henghe, and there will be nothing she can do to her."
"Mom, we have to work together to figure out how to hide it from my grandpa and grandma." Tian Minqing continued.
Just as Mrs. Li was about to speak, Mrs. Jiang's voice rang out from the door: "You're trying to die, are you burning rice krispies? They're like this."
Soon, Mrs. Jiang walked in. When she saw Mrs. Li and her daughter standing, her eyes sharpened, her nose sniffed, and her face changed drastically. She walked to the stove, lifted the lid of the pot, took a look, and cursed loudly: "You
This bastard who is wasting food is burnt even if I ask you to cook it. Just eat Sammi..."
