Chapter 15 Past events.

Wang Qiumeng sent them out of the supply and marketing cooperative. After Tian Sisi got on the back seat of the bicycle, she sweetly said to Wang Qiumeng, "Auntie, send Zhenhua and the others home. Donghua and I will take them to play."

"Okay, I'll have your brother-in-law deliver them over in two days. Zhenhua and the others also want to come. Second brother, please ride slower on the road and watch the road." Wang Qiumeng sent Tian Sisi and the others away, smiled, and turned around to go in.

"Xiao Wang, didn't you say that your second brother's family is from the countryside? Your niece doesn't look like a rural person. She dresses more fashionably than the city people." Sister Li inquired curiously.

Wang Qiumeng put away the biscuits and cream on the table, sat across from Sister Li, and said with a smile: "Sister Li, you don't know, my niece is the eyeball of my parents-in-law. Although my second brother is from the countryside, my parents-in-law are paid. The old man is an old revolutionary who fought against the Japanese devils, and he is treated as a master. If it weren't for his injured leg, he would still be staying in Beijing."

Wang Qiumeng had a bit of pride on her face, and of course she did it on purpose. This Sister Li relied on her husband to be the director of the Revolutionary Committee and was older than her. She was usually very good at putting on airs. Although it was harmless, it was quite annoying. Now it was just a chance to talk about the background of the family and suppress Sister Li's anger.

Sure enough, Sister Li showed some respect on her face. For an old revolutionary at the master level, that is incredible, and the salary is also incredible. "Then the combined salary of your parents-in-law is less than 200, right? My dear, can you still spend it all? No wonder your niece has so much money."

Wang Qiumeng smiled and said nothing, and Sister Li didn't care. After knowing Mr. Tian's identity, her mentality suddenly changed. Even she didn't realize it. She became generous and gentle without knowing it.

"Xiao Wang, do your parents-in-law live with your second brother's family?" After a long pause, Sister Li suddenly asked.

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, but your old man's salary is so high, I have to give it to you two. You can't let your second brother and his family live alone." Sister Li asked Wang Qiumeng in a very ambiguous tone.

How could Wang Qiumeng not know what Sister Li meant? Wasn't he trying to sow discord between her and her second brother's family? Although she felt uncomfortable in her heart, she didn't show it on her face, "Master, they can spend their money however they like. Man Tong and I have enough to spend."

It's true. Tian Mantong's job opportunity originally went to his second brother Tian Manyin, but Tian Manyin said that he was used to being a rural person, and he had to take care of his parents, so he gave the opportunity to his younger brother. If Tian Sisi knew about this, I'm afraid she would feel sad again. Her father is really addicted to imitating Lei Feng.

That's why the old man gathered his three sons and daughter-in-law together when she first got married, saying that his and Mrs. Zhao's wages would be used to subsidize the second son's family's life in the future. Tian Aiguo and Tian Mantong both expressed no objection and they sincerely thanked Tian Man. Yin also felt guilty for Tian Manyin. Later, when Wang Qiumeng learned that the old man's salary was so high, to be honest, she was dissatisfied. Once she tactfully mentioned something to Mantong, Tian Mantong immediately lowered his face and got angry.

Seeing his wife's aggrieved look, Tian Mantong told her the whole story and sternly warned her not to have such thoughts again, otherwise don't blame him for being rude. Wang Qiumeng is a woman who regards men as her first priority. Seeing her husband getting so angry, sheNo matter how big of an idea she had, she didn't dare to mention it anymore. Later, Tian Mantong's extra money became more and more, and her family's life became more and more prosperous. At this time, she was really grateful to Tian Manyin. If it hadn't been for her second brother's concession, how could she have lived such a decent life?

When Tian Mantong came back from the car in the evening, he frowned when he saw his third son eating biscuits happily, "Don't spoil your child. Why do boys eat biscuits? It's good if they have food to eat."

The Tian family's tradition has always been like this. It is very harsh on boys, but more tolerant on girls. Wang Qiumeng brought a basin of hot water for her husband and asked him to wash his face to relieve fatigue. He explained: "I didn't buy this, but your precious niece bought it."

Wang Qiumeng brought the hot food and poured rice wine soaked in hot water. When Tian Mantong sat down to eat, she told Tian Sisi what happened in the afternoon in detail, "Don't mention it, my grandma has become a lot more sensible after this illness. She is like a little adult. She also made sure to buy me a bottle of cream. She can't even push it away."

Tian Mantong was very proud, "My grandma is always sensible. Since it is your niece who respects you, you can use it. But grandma is also the same. She doesn't even know how to buy me something? I have to ask her someday."

Tian Mantong was disgusted that he had not received the gift. Wang Qiumeng gave him a stern look, "You have the nerve to ask your niece for something?"

Tian Mantong laughed a few times, what's there to be embarrassed about? In his heart, Tian Mantong regarded Tian Sisi as his own daughter, so he really didn't feel embarrassed. There was a reason why Tian Mantong was so good to Tian Sisi.

In fact, Tian Sisi was brought back by Tian Mantong. Tian Manyin and Zhu Aiqing had been married for five years without any news. They went to the hospital to check that there was no problem for both of them. Mrs. Zhao wanted to bring back a girl from outside and bring some blessings back.

At that time, he had just graduated from high school. He made an appointment with a group of classmates to go to a movie in a neighboring town in the evening. After the show, he went home alone and walked on the avenue with only the moon following him. That's when he saw a young woman lying on the ground with a little baby in her arms.

Tian Mantong hurriedly poured some water from the kettle he was carrying and fed it to the woman. Only then did he notice the beauty of the woman. He had never seen such a beautiful girl before. She looked about the same age as him. The woman woke up after drinking the water and looked at him steadily. Tian Mantong, who had never spoken to a girl alone, blushed, but he felt a sweet and flustered feeling in his heart.

The woman was probably very hungry, so she regained her strength after eating the pancakes Tian Mantong gave her. Although she ate in a hurry, her movements were still very graceful and graceful. At first glance, she didn't come from an ordinary family. Later, many people chased her, and she heard voices in the distance. The woman gritted her teeth and pushed the child into Tian Mantong's arms. She just said, "Please treat my daughter well. My name is Mu Xiulian. If I don't die, I will come to find my daughter." She also took off a bracelet from her hand and gave it to him, then ran in the other direction.

Tian Mantong was confused. He wanted to chase the woman back, but the woman ran very fast towards the mountain on the side of the road, followed by many people with flashlights. Tian Mantong was startled. He knew that this was not an easy matter, so he carried the little girl home and told his parents about it. The old man was silent for a long time and then said: "God's will, this is a child sent by God. From now on, this baby will be our Tian family."

In this way, the little girl became Tian Manyin's daughter, Tian Zhaodi. To the outside world, they all said that the child was brought from other places. Only Mr. Tian, Mrs. Zhao and him knew about Tian Sisi's life experience. Even Tian Manyin and his wife did not know.

According to the old man's analysis, the child's birth was definitely extraordinary, and those chasing after him must be rebels. Just looking at the mutton-fat jade bracelet that the woman took out and the exquisite clothes and blankets on the child, it was clear that the family's family background was excellent.

But in this era, a good family background means disaster, or even annihilation. Therefore, the old man asked Tian Mantong to keep the secret tightly, and no one could tell it, otherwise it would harm Grandma and the entire Tian family.

Tian Mantong knew the power of this and had kept it a secret for ten years. Because of the confusion when they first met that night, and because of the woman's words, he was very kind to the girl he had brought back with his own hands. As the child grew up, it became more and more like her biological mother. Tian Mantong didn't know why it was just a short meeting, but he would never forget it for the rest of his life. Every time he thought about it, he would be ashamed of his stupidity at that time, but he also felt sweet.

After so many years, the woman named Mu Xiulian has never been found. Tian Mantong didn't want to think about the worst. He just thought that she couldn't find this place. He didn't have time to tell her where his home was. Maybe she just couldn't find the place and didn't come. Tian Mantong always thought this way. It seemed that only by thinking this way, he would feel better.
