Tian Minyan walked out of Tian's old house for the first time and looked up at the sea-blue sky. She took a deep breath. The air was slightly humid without any pollution, mixed with the fragrance of earth and the smell of field flowers and plants.
Opening your eyes and looking from a distance, you can see that the houses in the village are sparsely scattered everywhere, with gray walls and black tiles. Some are bungalows, and some are shacks.
Tian Minyan turned around and looked at the old house behind her. Several large tiled houses were lined up together, forming a large courtyard. The gray mud brick walls were covered with moss, and some vines were winding up the walls.
Such an old house cannot be said to be rich, but it has produced a scholar like Tian Huaide. Tian Minyan tried hard to think of the plots in the books she had read in her previous life. At this time, the Tian family had almost spent their money to support Tian Huaide and his son in studying.
The silver on it may be less than twenty taels.
So poor!
Tian Minyan kicked the stones away from her feet and muttered.
"Yan Yatou, why did you come out? Are you recovered?"
Just as Tian Minyan was muttering, a voice from the left asked with concern.
Tian Minyan looked over and saw a woman wearing gray coarse cloth clothes, a cloth scarf wrapped around her head, and a pair of coarse cloth trousers walking towards her carrying a pair of rice cookers.
Tian Minyan looked at the things on her bamboo basket, including seedlings, pigweed, and a few handfuls of cabbage. She smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, are you back from the fields?"
This woman is the daughter-in-law of Mr. Tian's grand-nephew, He. She is also named Tian. She is a relative of her own family. Tian Minyan should be called her eldest sister-in-law according to her seniority.
"No, we just came back. Why did you come out to enjoy the breeze? It's quite cold in April. Don't be greedy for the cold. Go back to the house quickly." He put down the burden, looked at Tian Minyan's face with a smile and said, "Look
This little face doesn’t have much meat, so go back to the house and take care of it.”
"I have to go to the fields for a while." Tian Minyan scratched her neck and curled her lips.
"Aren't you still sick? The old man also asked you to go to the fields?" Hearing this, Mrs. He frowned, but glanced at the open door of the old house behind her and asked, "Is your mother willing to do so?"
"Mom wants to go to the fields too." Tian Minyan kicked the mud under her feet with her toes and said, "Grandpa told me to pull out the seedlings."
"It's really hard for you." He touched her head with pity.
Tian Minyan smiled and was about to speak when Jiang's voice came from behind her: "Girl Yan, why are you standing there kowtowing? Why don't you go to the fields with a basket on your back? You girls, each one is lazier than the other, and you want me to serve you."
..”
When He heard this, he twitched his lips uncomfortably and said, "Go quickly."
"Hey." Tian Minyan nodded, picked up a basket behind him and ran away.
"Second sister, wait for me."
Before taking two steps, Xiao Wu caught up from behind, took Tian Minyan's hand and said, "I'm going to the rice field too."
A gust of wind blew, He smiled, picked up the burden and was about to leave, but Tian Minyan sharply saw the banana leaves in her burden that were blown away by the wind.
Tian Minyan pointed at those things and exclaimed in surprise: "Sister-in-law, this is..."
He looked along her fingertips and asked puzzledly: "Pigweed, what's wrong?"
Pigweed?
The palm-sized leaves were lush green and very pleasing to the eye. Tian Minyan immediately thought of the purple-black fruits on the leaves, and her mouth watered.
As happy as if she had been hit by a pie falling from the sky, Tian Minyan asked with bright eyes: "Sister-in-law, where did you get this?"
