She stepped on the rice scattered on the ground. Tian Sisi felt her feet slip and she lost her center of gravity and fell heavily backward. After waking up, she became Tian Zhaodi, the 10-year-old adopted daughter of Tian Manyin's family in Yuequan Village, Wangjia Town, Suicheng City, Suicheng City. + +Although her mother Zhong Juying didn't like to talk to her daughter in her previous life, she liked to talk about the things she had done when she was young. She told almost every household in the village when she was a girl. Therefore, although Tian Sisi didn't go back to her grandmother's house very often, she was very familiar with the village, especially Yuequan Village in the 1970s. This was when her mother Zhong Juying was in her prime years and when she married Tian Fugui. + +Zhong Juying always said, "If time could go back, even if she couldn't get married and become an old aunt, she would not marry a loser like Tian Fugui." + +But Zhong Juying didn't come back, but Tian Sisi did. The day after Tian Sisi woke up, she went all over the village looking for her mother Zhong Juying. Zhong Juying would be 17 years old at this time, and would marry her scumbag father Tian Fugui in five years. However, Tian Sisi searched all over the village for any family named Zhong, and not only her mother Zhong Juying was not found, but even her maternal grandmother, uncle, and aunt could not be found, as if her grandmother's family did not exist at all. + +However, there are people with the same name as her mother-in-law, grandparents and uncles, but they just have the same name, and their appearance and age are different. It seems that her appearance has changed the trajectory of some people. Although Tian Sisi is disappointed, she has always been an optimist, and she soon thinks about it and tries to adapt to the life here. + +Tian Zhaodi was told by her mother in her previous life that she was a real-life sparrow who turned into a phoenix and then became a sparrow. After Tian Zhaodi became a big boss in Hong Kong, her biological mother found her daughter and gave her a lot of money. According to reports, He said that he had a million US dollars and helped her set up a company in mainland China. Tian Zhaodi suddenly changed from a rural girl to a wealthy lady. However, although this Tian Zhaodi was beautiful, her head was full of tofu. + +The subsequent plot was a cliché. She found an unreliable man, hooked up with her best friend, and robbed her company, property, and children. But it was not bad. However, her pursuit of wealth did not harm her life, so she left the house. After that, she lived a very miserable life, but her adoptive parents couldn't stand it and took her back home. + +Every time Zhong Juying talks about this Tian Zhaodi, she will look disdainful. She obviously had a good hand, but she was beaten to a pulp by her. Her mother's one million US dollars was really wasted. If it were Zhong Juying, she would have become a big boss long ago. + +Tian Sisi still remembers that she would always ask at that time, why didn't Aunt Tian Zhaodi's biological mother help her later? She also allowed Aunt Zhaodi to live such a miserable life. When Tian Sisi was a child, she and her mother went back to her grandmother's house to celebrate the New Year. She saw Tian Zhaodi. She was haggard and had white hair. She looked at least ten years older than her mother, Zhu Juying. She was obviously seven or eight years younger than Zhu Juying. + +Zhong Juying couldn't answer, she just said vaguely, "Maybe you don't know?" Tian Sisi didn't believe it. It must be that her mother had no feelings for Tian Zhaodi and didn't want to care about her anymore. + +Tian Sisi calculated secretly. It was only 1972, and it was still more than ten years before her biological mother appeared. It seemed that she would have to live a hard life for more than ten years! Tian Sisi looked at the simple furniture in the room and sighed with a grimace. She had no electricity or water, no food and clothing, no food and clothing, no wife, no TV, no computer, no mobile phone. How could she live? + +When Tian Sisi first arrived, it was the third day of the first lunar month. The original owner and several cousins ​​went to the village's Ciannan River to set off firecrackers and blast ice. They accidentally slipped into the ice and were soaked in the river water for ten minutes at a temperature of about ten degrees below zero. The original owner was taken over by the modern Tian Sisi without even discussing it. Tian Sisi thought of his old mother in the previous life, and wondered what would happen if she knew about his death? + +Although I was not a loving mother in my previous life, I was still kind to Sisi. Zhong Juying was a strong woman. She made a fortune in business and bought more than a dozen storefronts in the city. The rent collected alone made her a million dollars a year. However, she had a bad temper, probably because her marriage was unsatisfactory. She often scolded Sisi, the only daughter, saying that she was not living up to expectations and looked like that good-for-nothing dad. But Sisi was used to it. At least she had been very rich in material terms since she was a child. + +Zhong Juying has never treated her badly in life. On the contrary, she has tried her best to train her. However, Tian Sisi is too unsatisfactory and cannot help a beautiful Adou on the wall. She has not learned any of my mother's shrewdness and ability. Zhong Juying hates her to death. However, after seeing her daughter divorced, she has no job. Zuo still gave her two storefronts and let her live by collecting rent. The rent of the shop alone was over 200, 000 yuan a year, so Tian Sisi really didn't live a hard life in her previous life. Now she suddenly came to this era of political turmoil and material poverty, and she couldn't even shed tears. + +well! Tian Sisi let out a long sigh and settled for what she had come. She had always been a person who drifted with the crowd. According to her mother, she was a loser who "had no ambitions, just muddle along, and waited to die", just like her coward and loser father, but she really didn't want to be a loser in her previous life! \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/09/eng_cont/i_0002.txt b/09/eng_cont/i_0002.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..fa5d471c015b41f9f0813eb57298151e836e2f24 --- /dev/null +++ b/09/eng_cont/i_0002.txt @@ -0,0 +1,45 @@ +Chapter 2 Current situation. + +It's just that Tian Sisi is one step behind others no matter what she does. Every time she wants to start a business and asks her mother for capital, Zhong Juying always pours cold water on her, saying that the industry is already saturated. Are you going to drink other people's foot washing water now? As time went by, she became too lazy to use her brain. She had enough money to spend anyway, and gradually Tian Sisi became what Zhong Juying called a waste. Although she had listened to my mother's nagging too much, she was always called a waste, which made her feel a little uncomfortable. How about she cheer up and live like a human being in this life? + +Tian Sisi's newly rising ambition was immediately suppressed by herself. Come on, in this era where capitalism is cutting off the tail of capitalism in everything, if she dares to sell things, she will definitely be beaten to death by the rebel team. Besides, this body is only 10 years old, even if she wants to make a contribution, it will take a few years! + +The most important thing at the moment is to find out the situation at home. Tian Sisi has only been here for about ten days. In these ten days, she was still dizzy and lying on the bed without even taking a step out of the door. However, according to her mother's past life memory and the vague memory of the original owner, Tian Sisi had some understanding of the situation at home. Speaking of it, Tian Zhaodi's adoptive parents were considered middle-class in Yuequan Village. + +Grandpa Tian Liujin was an old revolutionary who had participated in the Anti-Japanese War. He was a mature man. As soon as the movement started, he reported his illness and retired and returned to his hometown to farm. Although he was gone, his connections in the army were still there, so Tian ZhaoDi's uncle Tian Manjin did well in the army, and is now a division commander, with the rank of colonel. As soon as his uncle entered the army, he changed his name to Tian Aiguo, which made Mr. Tian sulky for a while. + +Brother-in-law Tian Mantong is a driver of the city transportation team and often travels outside. Although the work is a bit hard, in this era, a driver is a "golden rice bowl". Not only can he buy cheap goods from other places, but he can also earn a lot of extra money. Therefore, the Tian family's living standard in the village has always been quite good. Of course, this is compared to the era when a red scarf was a rarity. In the eyes of Tian Sisi, who is used to a modern well-off life, this high living standard is inseparable from primitive life. + +Her father, Tian Manyin, is a pure farmer. Originally, it was her father who went to the army. According to the old man's arrangement, the eldest son stayed at home to farm. However, Tian Manyin was a kind man. He knew that his eldest brother's biggest dream was to be a soldier since he was a child. Besides, he also thought that he was not as smart as his eldest brother, soTian Manyin quietly went to the Armed Forces Department and changed his name to Tian Manjin. When the conscripts came to the village, the matter was a foregone conclusion. Moreover, they saw that Tian Manjin was tall and agile. Compared to the more honest Tian Manyin, of course the boss was more challenging, so they recruited the uncle away. + +Therefore, Tian Aiguo (hereinafter referred to as Tian Aiguo) felt very guilty for his second brother who was farming, and took great care of Tian Manyin's family. He often sent money and gifts to his family. However, in the previous life, her mother Zhong Juying looked down on this Tian Manyin, saying that he was a fool. He picked up such a big pie from the sky and gave it to others, which was so stupid that his grandma's family was so stupid. + +Tian Sisi also felt that Tian Manyin was stupid enough. If he had gone to the army, then she would be a girl in the army compound now. Her starting point would be a mountain higher than that of a little girl in the countryside now. Alas, what a stupid father! But it’s okay, if the east is not bright and the west is bright, then there is still a backup mother! Tian Sisi, who has always been optimistic, soon stopped worrying. + +In addition, Tian Manyin has two older sisters and one younger sister. The eldest sister, Tian Manju, married to a neighboring village. Her husband is a chef in the commune canteen. Chef is also a popular profession in this era, so Tian Manju's family's conditions are also very good. The second sister Tian Manlian is married in the town and is a Chinese teacher in the town primary school. The husband is a buyer in the town supply and marketing cooperative. + +Compared with the two elder sisters, the younger sister Tian Manlan was much worse off. The main reason was that she had to marry a second-rate man from another village. Her life was miserable and she had to eat every meal without finishing. Grandma Tian felt sorry for her little girl and always helped her secretly. Her brothers and sisters also often helped her, otherwise Tian Manlan would have been unable to survive. + +In short, except for one sister-in-law, the old Tian family was not doing well, and the other relatives belonged to the middle class at that time. Although the original owner's adoptive parents were farmers who worked in the fields, the old man who lived with the second son was an old revolutionary cadre. He participated in the Battle of Taierzhuang, the Hundred Regiment War, and the War to Resist U. S. Aggression and Aid Korea after liberation. + +Although the old man retired early, his administrative level is level 11, which is equivalent to the full division level. His salary is 200 yuan per month, which is paid directly by the province. It is higher than the salary of his uncle who is a division commander in the army. Tian Aiguo's administrative level is only level 13, and his monthly salary is 156 yuan. Of course, this is not low. You must know that pork at this time only cost 70 cents a pound, eggs cost 4 cents each, and the average salary of workers and teachers was only thirty or forty yuan, so a monthly salary of 200 yuan at this time was really a high concept, ten times more expensive than a modern CEO with an annual salary of one million. + +Therefore, although Tian Zhaodi's family is farming, their life is not bad at all because of Mr. Tian's large reserve grain depot. However, because of the extreme shortage of materials in this era, some things are difficult to buy even if you have money. Therefore, in Tian Sisi's view, this high standard of living is really not good. + +No, I have to think of ways to improve my life, not just to wear nice clothes and eat delicious food. I also have to tell my grandparents tomorrow that I have changed my name. Tian Zhaodi is so unfashionable, but Tian Sisi sounds better. Tian Sisi determined her future life goals and fell asleep in a daze. + +"Auntie, it's time to get up. Today is fifteen, so I don't want to lie in bed." A kind voice sounded in Tian Sisi's ears. Tian Sisi, who had never gotten up before nine o'clock in her previous life, muttered, turned over and continued to sleep. + +Zhao Yueban probed Tian Sisi's forehead with her hand to see if she was still burning. She had just washed the vegetables and her hands were cold. Tian Sisi was shocked by the ice. What bastard dared to ice my mother? Disturbing one's clear dreams will lead to the eighteenth level of hell. Tian Sisi sat up angrily and saw Zhao Yueban beside the bed, the original owner's grandmother, an old man who loved the original owner very much. + +Tian Sisi hurriedly swallowed back the curse that had reached her throat. She originally thought she wouldn't be able to scream, but as soon as she saw the old man's loving eyes, she yelled "Mother", and it was not difficult at all to scream again. + +Tian Sisi coquettishly called "Niang Niang" again (saying "niang" three or four times, meaning "grandma"). She enjoyed the feeling of being coquettish in front of the old man. In her previous life, she had no grandparents, and her grandparents did not like her because they had a bad relationship with me. So now, when Tian Sisi saw such a kind old lady who loved her, she immediately entered the state of being a good granddaughter. + +Zhao Yue half-happily wiped the corners of her eyes, and responded with a smile several times, "Oh yo yo, my dear, Amitabha, with the blessings of Bodhisattvas, I finally woke up. You have scared your mother's soul away, and you won't want to go play by the river in the future." + +"Well, listen to your mother-in-law." Tian Sisi liked hearing Zhao Yueban call her grandma. + +In her previous life, the parents of her female classmates would add the word "nan" to their names. She was so envious of it, and asked her mom and daddy to call her "sinan" when she got home. As a result, daddy snorted at her, and my mom yelled, "How old are you, three years old?", and then went back to business. + +Now hearing Mrs. Zhao call her good girl, Tian Sisi couldn't forget how beautiful she was. Her mental age was immediately reduced from thirty-two to ten years old. Let Mrs. Zhao dress herself, Tian Sisi didn't feel ashamed at all. This body is still only eight years old.

On her feet are a pair of red nylon socks, and a pair of red homemade cotton shoes with a lot of flannel padding inside, which is very warm. + +Old Mrs. Zhao wanted to put shoes on Tian Sisi, but she refused. It was okay to let the old lady dress herself, but she really couldn't accept it if an old lady squatted in front of her and put on shoes for her. Old Mrs. Zhao followed her and tied Tian Sisi into braids. Old Mrs. Zhao's hands were very light and it didn't hurt at all. Unlike her mother Zhong Juying in her previous life, every time she tied her braids, she shed tears from the pain. + +"We will wear cloth shoes at home, and when we go out, we will wear the pair of red fur shoes your uncle bought for you." Mrs. Zhao said while tying her pigtails. + +There is a reason for Mrs. Zhao to say this. The original owner is a very capable little girl who loves to dress up. She has never liked to wear the cloth shoes made by Mrs. Zhao. They are too tacky, but Tian Sisi likes them. In later generations, such handmade cloth shoes are very expensive. She glanced atI noticed the red leather shoes on the horizontal board under the bed. They were square-toed boots, a bit like the Martin boots of later generations. However, today's leather shoes are certainly not as good-looking as those of later generations, so Tian Sisi really dislikes this pair of leather shoes that are very fashionable in the eyes of others. + +"Well, the cotton shoes made by my mother are comfortable to wear." Tian Sisi's words made Mrs. Zhao happy. Grandma has become a lot more sensible due to her illness. In the past, she would not say that the shoes made by her are comfortable, she would only say rustic! + +Mrs. Zhao tied two braids on Tian Sisi and two red-headed flowers. She said with satisfaction, "My dear girl is so beautiful." Then she went out to cook rice cakes with vegetables for her granddaughter. Tian Sisi stepped on the horizontal board under the bed and got out of bed. The bed she slept on was an old-fashioned carved bed. It was very high. There was usually a long wooden board underneath for people to step on and off the bed, and where shoes could be placed. + +Tian Sisi walked to the table in front and looked into the mirror. The little girl inside had slim shoulders and a slim waist, a tall figure, an oval face, big black and white eyes, long eyelashes, like a fan, fluttering, and the bangs on her forehead were curled to form a beautiful arc. Although she was dressed a bit rustic, she was still very beautiful, like a doll. + +Because she had been ill for more than ten days, her face was a bit pale and her chin was a bit pointed, but this did not affect the beauty of this body. Tian Sisi was stunned by the reflection of herself in the mirror, and then she became happy. The most dissatisfied thing about her in her previous life was her appearance. Although she was not ugly, she was definitely not a beauty. Now that she is wearing this dress, she is really making a fortune. + +Tian Sisi thought about the old and withered appearance of Aunt Zhaodi she had seen in her previous life, and got excited. No, since she is Tian Zhaodi now, she can no longer follow the old path. She must live a good life. Tian Sisi cheered for herself secretly. + +"Ah, it's time to eat!" Mrs. Zhao's voice sounded outside. + +"Here we come!" Tian Sisi responded, put down the mirror and ran out. + +Outside in the main room, Mr. Tian, ​​Tian Manyin and his two younger brothers, 8-year-old Tian Donghua and 6-year-old Tian Qinghua, were sitting in the main room. They were already eating breakfast. It was soaked rice made from yesterday’s leftovers. Pickled rice is made by boiling the leftovers in water and steaming the leftovers on top. In fact, it tastes quite good. However, some experts later said that soaked rice is not good for the stomach, so Tian Sisi didn’t eat it much. + +"Grandpa, daddy, mommy, Donghua, Tsinghua, Happy New Year!" Tian Sisi greeted her family with a smile, and then went to the kitchen to get hot water to wash her face and brush her teeth. Speaking of which, she was lucky. Although the original owner was an adopted daughter, her family treated her better than her own biological daughter. Otherwise, the original owner would not have developed such a simple, delicate and pretentious character. + +"Okay, okay, grandma's temperament has moved a lot, which is a blessing in disguise!" Mr. Tian responded to Tian Sisi with a smile, and turned to his second son Tian Manyin. + +"Well, it looks like she has moved around a bit. Grandma didn't like to talk much before, but now it's better. The little girl just needs to move around a bit." Tian Manyin nodded in agreement with the old man's words. + +"Mom, don't spoil me. Why do you have to cook breakfast for her alone? Isn't it enough to make rice?" Zhu Aiqing watched her mother-in-law turn on a small stove for her daughter and glared at Tian Sisi. This daughter has been spoiled by her parents-in-law and her husband. She needs to be well-fed and well-clothed. She can't afford any work in the countryside. Which man will dare to marry such a girl in the future? What's the use of having a good appearance? + +"It's okay. My grandmother is just sick and her mouth has no taste. It's okay to open a small stove. It's not like our family can't afford it." Mr. Tian refused. In his opinion, it is normal for his granddaughter to open a small stove. The little girl has to be pampered and raised. + +Tian Manyin nodded in agreement, and Zhu Aiqing rolled her eyes, so she was the stepmother?

Why don't you ask your concubine and mother to hold it for you? What if it's hot?" + +"Mom, just let her get it by herself. She is a 10-year-old girl who can't even hold a meal?

When Tian Sisi heard the name coming out of her mother's mouth, her mind moved. However, she never remembered who Zhong Yuying was, but she felt that Zhong Yuying should be a very important person. After thinking about it for a while, Tian Sisi thought about it, maybe she would suddenly think about it later. + +"My daughter-in-law has a small birthday, so she can't compare with those who have birthdays in the first half of the year.

In the past, she would not share the delicious food with them. + +"Eat quickly! I don't have enough left in this bowl." Tian Sisi whispered to the two younger brothers. From the memory of the original owner, she knew that the original owner was not particularly kind to the two younger brothers. When he was a child, he liked to eat alone. When he grew up, he didn't help his younger brothers much when he got rich. He was a ruthless person. + +"Auntie, if you give all the rice cakes to Donghua and the others, how can you still have enough? Why don't I burn some more for you."

Tian Sisi seemed to be telling a tongue twister, which made everyone in the family laugh. They felt that Zhaodi's temperament had indeed changed a lot after she fell into the water. Now she also knows how to share the delicious food with her brother. She is becoming more and more likeable. Mr. Tian looked at Tian Sisi with more loving eyes. + +It is certainly not without reason that the original owner received so much favor as an adopted daughter in this family. First of all, it was because the original owner was beautiful, and good-looking children were always favored. Secondly, of course, Zhu Aiqing gave birth to two sons as soon as she came. You must know that Zhu Aiqing's stomach has not moved after five years of marriage. The original owner got the news as soon as he came, so the Tian family all believed that these two grandsons were brought in by the original owner. + +Then there is the fact that the Tian family was originally just above the average level in the village, but since the original owner came, Tian Aiguo has risen rapidly in the army, getting green lights all the way, and getting promoted faster than a rocket. Another thing is that Tian Mantong was originally assigned to teach in a school, but for some reason, an old driver of the county transportation team quit early, and Tian Mantong took over. + +The 1970s was not the future. Teachers were still a relatively sensitive profession. Although the salary was not low, about 30 yuan, drivers were more popular. Although the salary was not high, it was a lot of extra money. Basically, what Tian Sisi is wearing now came from this uncle. He dressed fashionably for the original owner, and with naturally curly black hair, the original owner had a very nice nickname in Yuequan Village, called "Miss Shanghai." + +Of course, this nickname has no discriminatory meaning. In the minds of people across the country at that time, Shanghai was synonymous with fashion, style, and wealth. Young people, whether they were men or women, would wear something made in Shanghai, such as a watch., then he (she) would be the collective envy of the whole village. He or she would be much more dazzling than today’s people who carry an LV bag and wear a Rolex watch. Therefore, when the villagers called the original owner “Miss Shanghai”, they were really sincerely complimenting them, and of course they were also a little jealous. + +Then, the life of the eldest aunt and the second aunt's family also became prosperous after the original owner came. The children they gave birth to later were all born in the same family, which made their backs in the husband's family harder and harder. Although the life of the younger aunt Tian Manlan's family was not good, she was still very successful. She gave birth to three boys in a row, all born after the original owner came. The Tian family believed that these were blessings brought by the original owner, so they doted on the original owner. + +Tian Sisi saw that her eldest brother Donghua seemed to be not full after finishing the rice cakes in his bowl, so she gave him more rice cakes from her own bowl, which earned Mrs. Zhao an angry look, "How can you only eat so little? You need to eat more glutinous rice balls later." + +Donghua smiled gratefully at Tian Sisi. He didn't want to eat alone. He tried to mark his younger brother Qinghua's rice cake with the rice cake in the bowl, but Tian Sisi stopped him. "Don't give it to Qinghua. He has a small belly. If he eats too much rice cake, he won't be able to digest it. Just finish it by yourself." + +"Oh, how can my sweet girl be so sensible? She also knows that eating rice cakes will cause swelling. She is such a smart girl." Mrs. Zhao looked at Tian Sisi in surprise, as if she knew that it was a big deal for children not to eat rice cakes. + +Tian Sisi rolled her eyes secretly. Anyone in Suicheng would know if eating too much rice cake is indigestible. However, she still smiled sweetly at Mrs. Zhao and said, "I heard it from my empress before." Mrs. Zhao narrowed her eyes with joy. + +Tian Sisi tried her best to finish half a bowl of rice cake, which made her burp three times in a row. Seeing Zhu Aiqing preparing to clear the table, she remembered the most important thing, "Grandpa, mother, father, mother, I want to change my name." + +"What name should I change?" Zhu Aiqing stopped collecting the dishes and asked. + +"I want to change it to Tian Sisi. Tian Zhaodi is too popular. Five out of ten female classmates in school are named Zhaodi. Every time someone calls me Zhaodi, I respond. It's so embarrassing." Tian Sisi pouted and acted coquettishly. + +She didn't tell lies, she was just exaggerating. Tian Donghua raised his head and said that there were only five people named Zhaodi in the school. + +"What's wrong with Zhaodi? It sounds nice and brings blessings. What's good about Sisi? It's hard to pronounce." Mrs. Zhao disagreed at the first place. In her opinion, Zhaodi sounds much better than Sisi. + +The empress had no chance here, so Tian Sisi turned to act coquettishly towards Mr. Tian, the most authoritative person in the family. She ran to Mr. Tian, pinched his shoulders and hit his back. Finally, she squeezed into the old man's arms like a candy cane and said, "I don't care, I just want to be called Tian Sisi. Tian Lili always laughs at my name, so I also want to be called by the same name." + +The original owner and Tian Lili never dealt with each other. Tian Lili always bullied the original owner because of her height and length, so the responsibility was put on Tian Lili, and Tian Sisi didn't bear any burden at all. Mr. Tian enjoyed his granddaughter's coquettishness very much. He looked at the envious expression on his second son's face, not to mention how proud he was. The cheerful Mr. Tian actually had already agreed in his heart, but he wanted to tease his granddaughter and would not let go. + +"Tian Zhaodi, what do you look like? You haven't gotten off grandpa yet." Zhu Aiqing was so angry with her daughter that she knew how to act, and lectured her with a straight face. + +"Okay, okay, grandpa is already dizzy from you. While the team is not working these days, let your second uncle open the letter of introduction. Your father will take the household registration book to the town to change it. From now on, you will be called Tian Sisi, but you will still be called Anan at home." The old man finally relented. The second uncle is Mr. Tian's younger brother, named Tian Bajin, and is the secretary of Yuequan Village. + +The old man has always had the final say in the family, so although Mrs. Zhao was dissatisfied, she didn't say much. Tian Manyin, who has always been the eldest daughter, listened to the old man's arrangement and comforted Tian Sisi, "Dad will go to your second uncle later. I will go to town tomorrow." + +"Don't worry, let's wait until the sun dries up the road before we go, otherwise we will fall down while riding." Tian Sisi didn't care about this moment. + +The old man always sticks to his word, and he won't change what he said. Moreover, the snow has just melted outside and the road is muddy. It's easy to fall while riding a bicycle. She doesn't want something to happen to Tian Satisfied on the road. Tian Sisi, who didn't receive the care of her father in her previous life, accepted Tian Manyin as her daughter's slave father without any obstacles. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/09/eng_cont/i_0005.txt b/09/eng_cont/i_0005.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..f04fe4fd83a751cf6131d9b98209bea33a940296 --- /dev/null +++ b/09/eng_cont/i_0005.txt @@ -0,0 +1,53 @@ +Chapter 5 Yuequan Village. + +Tian Manyin, who was concerned about her daughter, smiled and agreed.

Maybe Zhu Aiqing's anger would have dissipated early in the evening, but if it didn't work, she would stay with Mr. Tian until he went to bed later. + +After Tian Manyin smoked a cigarette, he got up and went to his second uncle's house. His daughter's affairs had to be settled early to avoid her being unhappy. Mr. Tian doesn't like smoking cigarettes. He smokes a hookah, and the tobacco is grown at home. It takes a lot of effort to take a puff, and it makes a "gurgling" sound. Tian Sisi fills the pipe for the old man, and then fills the old man with clean water. He is very busy. + +The old man finished smoking a pack of cigarettes and sent Tian Sisi out to play, "Go, go, it makes me dizzy, go out and play." + +Mrs. Zhao had already washed her hands and brought out a large basin. Inside was half a basin of glutinous rice flour mixed with late rice noodles. Pure glutinous rice flour was too soft and the dumplings were not chewy enough. The glutinous rice dumplings mixed with late rice flour tasted chewy. The Tian family all loved to eat this kind of rice noodles with 70% glutinous rice and 30% late rice, whether it was rice cakes or dumplings. + +Mrs. Zhao poured hot water into the basin. Seeing that the old man was obviously very useful but still pretending to be disgusted, she laughed and scolded: "People always do things, grandma, go play outside and leave your father alone. It's so pitiful that he has been lying in bed for so long. Go outside and get some fresh air." + +Tian Sisi originally wanted to help Mrs. Zhao make the dumplings, but the old lady who loved her granddaughter kicked her out of the house with her hands covered with rice flour and asked her to take her brother out to play. Zhu Aiqing chased Tian Sisi out and said, "Ah, don't run to the river again." + +"Oh, I got it." Tian Sisi took her two younger brothers and put on their rain boots and ran out quickly. She had long wanted to go out and see what Yuequan Village was like in the 1970s. Is it really as my mother said, with beautiful mountains and green waters and pleasant scenery. + +The sun outside is already very high, and the snow on the eaves, on the road, and on the trees has melted quietly, turning into water and dripping down. The eaves are covered with transparent and bright ice prisms, of different lengths, some are as long as a foot, reflecting colorful lights in the sun. Mang, when Tian Sisi saw the long-lost ice cubes, she ran to the woodshed with joy, took off her gloves, broke off one from under the eaves, and put it into her mouth, biting and hissing, her lips were numb from the ice, but she couldn't help but want to bite. + +Donghua and Qinghua had already chewed two sticks and kept biting them. They ate until white gas came out of their mouths. They were not afraid of the cold at all. Tian Sisi only took two bites and threw the ice cubes away. She was just recovering from a serious illness, so don't go to bed again. When she saw Donghua and Qinghua chewing one stick again, she hurriedly stopped them. Children have weak stomachs and cannot eat too much ice in the summer, let alone such a severe winter. + +Tian Sisi looked at her house. It was a very ordinary farmhouse, with five two-story wooden buildings. There were yards at the front and back. They raised pigs, chickens, ducks and other livestock in the backyard. The front yard was larger than the back yard, with a large sunbathing flat. There were also two small vegetable plots next to it. The fields were full of green vegetables and red cabbage. Looking at it this way, her house was pretty good. At least it was still a building! + +"Sister, are we going to play?" Qinghua asked when he saw his sister standing motionless. + +"Go, where do you want to play?" Tian Sisi asked her two younger brothers for their opinions. + +"Go play in the snow under the old camphor tree in Zhongjiawan." Tsinghua suggested excitedly. Today's sister was so nice that she was willing to take them to play. + +Both younger brothers were willing to go snow-blasting, so Tian Sisi followed them. The Tian family lived in the far west of Yuequan Village, backed by Yuequan Mountain, with a separate house and courtyard, and were not connected to other families in the village. Zhongjiawan was at the east end of the village, just across the Weinnan River from the west of the village. Qinghua and Donghua happily led the way, and Tian Sisi trotted to keep up, splashing mud spots, some of which even splashed on his pants. + +Tian Sisi frowned and grabbed Donghua and Qinghua. The two guys' pants were even more splashed. They refused to leave slowly. If they were late, the good territory would be occupied by others. Tian Sisi threatened them, "If your pants are stained, go home and see how dad beats you!" + +Tian Manyin was just kind to his daughter. He always had a straight face with his two sons, so in the eyes of the Donghua brothers, their father was much scarier than their mother. They immediately slowed down their pace and carefully avoided places with deep mud. + +After walking for a short distance, there is a farm, house to house, with different heights and layers. They are basically bungalows, few are two-story, and many have thatched roofs. Compared with my own house, it is really the difference between European-style villas and country cottages. + +The second uncle Tian Sisi also lives here. The second uncle's house is on the roadside. Although it is a bungalow, the courtyard looks obviously more outstanding. The people living in the farm are basically Tian families, except for a few mixed surnames. In the old society, most of the Tian people were poor and worked as long-term labor for the Zhong family on the other side of the river. Therefore, the farms are basically filled with crumbling walls and courtyards. Although the new society has been around for more than 20 years, ordinary villagers simply don't even dare to think about building new houses. + +A small stream as thin as a hemp rope flows from Yuequan Mountain in Yuequan Mountain, and converges into a five or six-meter-wide river at the farm, which is the Kuinan River. The Kuinan River was originally called Yuenan River, but I don’t know which dynasty, there were more than ten children in Yuequan Village getting into trouble in the river. The parents of those children would cry by the river on their children’s memorial day. Those who heard it were sad, and the name of Kuinan River came from this. + +There is a stone bridge on the Ciannan River. This stone bridge is many years old. It is said that it was built by several landowners in Zhongjiawan during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. It is still strong today. However, Tian Sisi knew that the bridge would be crossed when there was a flood in 1998. At that time, her mother felt regretful for a while. + +After passing the stone bridge, there is a large area of ​​​​Zhongjiawan. Unlike the farmland, the terrain of Zhongjiawan is uneven. Zhongjiawan is flat land and connected together, like the northern plains. Most of the people living here are people with the surname Zhong. Of course, there are also some mixed surnames. Every household in the bay lives in densely packed, mostly two-story buildings. More than a dozen families are connected together to form a large circle, with a large courtyard in the middle. + +The largest courtyard among them is the home of Zhong Yubai, the landlord of Zhongda. Zhong Yubai is not only the largest landlord in Yuequan Village, but also famous in Suicheng City. It stands to reason that a big landlord like him would have died long ago, but because Zhong Yubai is a good person, he used to be very kind to the long-term workers in the family, unlikeThe landowner next to him was so evil, and he also knew medicine and saved the lives of many people in the village. Therefore, although he was classified as a landlord, his family's land and property were only confiscated. When the rebels came down, the village only criticized Zhong Yubai symbolically, but he did not suffer much else. + +Before liberation, the Zhong family had always been the masters of Yuequan Village. Most of the land in the village and everything on the land belonged to the Zhong family. Therefore, during the land reform, there were two landlords in Zhongjiawan, three families were rich peasants, and five or six families were middle peasants. Most of the others were poor and lower-middle peasants. + +At this time, a girl wearing an old floral cotton-padded jacket walked over. She had two braids and two red flowers on her braids, which were exactly the same as those on Tian Sisi's head. Although the girl's face was red from the cold and many places were cracked, it still did not damage her beauty. She and Tian Sisi have two different beauties. Tian Sisi is quite bright and belongs to the mainstream beauty nowadays, while this girl has an "awl face" that is very popular in later generations, but now it is called "mean face", which is a very unpopular appearance, especially among the elderly. + +The girl seemed to be going to the river to wash clothes. The hand holding the noodle bucket was swollen like bread, and the red flesh could be seen in the cracked opening. It was terrible. When the girl saw Tian Sisi's new ski shirt and the beautiful red rain boots on her feet, a trace of jealousy flashed in her eyes. Although she hid it well, she could not hide it from Tian Sisi, who had an adult soul. + +The girl greeted Tian Sisi with a friendly smile, "Zhao Di, have you recovered from your illness?

There are only four flowers in total." + +Donghua doesn't like Zhong Yuying at all. He always uses sweet words to defraud Sister of money and things.

What a silly girl. How could someone like this still be her best friend? + +Huh, this girl is not that fool like Tian Zhaodi. You have to spit it out after eating me. We didn’t care about those things before, but now we have to get back what we have in front of us. Tian Sisi pouted and said, "Zhong Yuying, my name is Tian Sisi now. Missing Si, don’t call me Tian Zhaodi in the future. Do you remember it?" + +"Zhao Di, why did you suddenly change your name?" Zhong Yuying was extremely surprised. Today's Tian Sisi was a little different from usual, but she couldn't tell what was different. In front of Tian Sisi, she only had one good name that could compare with Tian Zhaodi. Every time she called Zhao Di, she would have a sense of superiority in her heart.

I'll lend it to you for the first month of the new year." Tian Sisi's tone was not very good. She was just a spoiled little princess now, so she didn't need to be polite at all. + +"Ah? Come on..., Sisi, didn't you say you would give it to me?" Zhong Yuying obviously didn't expect that Tian Sisi would ask her for the flowers on her head.

You borrow things from others without even knowing how to return them.

Tian Sisi used to be indifferent to her under Zhong Yuying's provocation, but now he actually took the initiative to show her kindness, but Zhong Meiying was very happy and snorted provocatively at Zhong Yuying. + +Others also intervened in various directions to ask Zhong Yuying to return the crown to Tian Sisi. One was the granddaughter of an old anti-Japanese revolutionist with a good background, and the other was a backward element from a middle peasant family. Everyone unanimously fell to Tian Sisi's side. + +Zhong Yuying's face was green and white, and she was holding the noodle bucket hard with both hands. Blood oozed from the cracked mouth.

Zhong Yuying swore secretly in her heart, but she had an aggrieved expression on her face and said sadly: "Sisi, I want to return it to you, but you haven't been out during this time, and I can't see you. I thought that we have such a good relationship that it doesn't matter if we wear it for a few more days, so I put it off until now. I didn't expect you to be unhappy. I will apologize to you.

She is only about 10 years old and has such deep scheming, and her posture is so low, others think she is bullying her!"No wonder the original owner was so miserable by her, but now that we are Tian Sisi, we will not be moved by your sweet words!

I was sick and lay in bed for more than ten days, but you never came to see me once. Humph, I was so kind to you before. What a supercilious person!" Tian Sisi made up her mind to stay away from this poisonous snake. She couldn't play with people who are rich in the city, so she should stay away. She just took advantage of this reason to break off contact with Zhong Yuying. + +"Yes, I took so many things from Zhaodi and didn't even know to visit Zhaodi when she was sick.

Even if there were a few, they were eaten by the men in the family, and girls like them couldn't even touch them. + +Tian Sisi divided the peanuts among them evenly and watched them eat with a smile. There were not many peanuts at all. Five or six people could only share three or four peanuts per person. They carefully peeled the shells and put the pink peanut kernels into their mouths religiously. They chewed them slowly, savoring the fragrance of the peanuts and reluctant to swallow them. "It's so delicious!" The youngest girl sighed with satisfaction. + +Tian Sisi felt a little bitter. How have these so-called children from middle peasants and rich peasants ever enjoyed the blessings of middle peasants and rich peasants? Although everyone's living standards in this era are similar, these children with poor background have a harder life. Not only do they have to endure physical hunger and cold, they also have to suffer the rejection and glare from others. + +Tian Sisi's wife, Zhong Juying, used to be a landlord. Zhong Juying often recalled the bitterness and sweetness in front of Tian Sisi, telling her the sad history of her youth. It didn't matter if she didn't have enough to eat and received cold looks. The most uncomfortable thing is that no matter how outstanding you are, as long as you have a headBecause you are labeled as a landlord, you have no role in choosing the women's captain. No matter how good your grades are, you can't go to junior high school, and you can't marry into a good family. The person who comes to see you is either a widower, a disabled person, or an old man who is one year older than you. + +Because of this, even though her mother was the most outstanding girl in Yuequan Village at the time, she always looked down upon her. She became an old girl and hurriedly married her scumbag father. As a result, Tian Sisi had been accustomed to the quarrels and fights between the two of them since she was a child, which cast a shadow on the marriage, leading to her divorce within two years of marriage. + +Alas, Tian Sisi sighed, I wonder how my mother is doing now? Will she be sad? She should know a little bit. Although her daughter is not very lively, she is still obedient. I should feel uncomfortable for a while, right? Tian Sisi is not worried about my mother's old life. Less than a year after divorcing her scumbag father, my mother remarried. Although she did not have children, the man she remarried was quite good. He was a gentle and elegant university teacher who treated Tian Sisi very well. The man's two sons were also intellectuals and respected her very much. I guess my quality of life in her later years should not be too bad! + +All the other girls finished their share of peanuts. Only the girl in the shabbiest clothes ate one and hid the remaining peanuts in her jacket pocket. When Tian Sisi looked at her, she blushed and smiled sheepishly. Tian Sisi also smiled at her. This girl probably wanted to take the peanuts back to her family.

They were all named Zhong. The eldest was Zhong Lanying, 12 years old, slightly better dressed, and her family was a middle peasant. The one who came to call her was Zhong Lianying, 9 years old, a rich farmer. The one who hid the peanuts was Zhong Juying, 11 years old, a rich farmer. These girls were all cousins, and Zhong Yuying and Zhong Meiying were also sisters who had not graduated from the fifth service. + +Tian Sisi glanced at Zhong Juying in surprise and asked, "How many people named Zhong Juying are there in our village?" + +"No, there's only Juying." The answer was Zhong Lianying, because Tian Sisi was particularly kind today, and she was a little bolder. + +"Then what are your parents' names?" Tian Sisi asked Zhong Juying directly. She asked so eagerly that Zhong Juying was startled and she replied in a low voice: "My father's name is Zhong Shigen, and my mother's name is Zhao Manxiu." + +The same name, her grandparents also had the same name, but why have the people changed? This Zhong Juying is not her mother at all, her age and appearance are not matching hers, and there is no other person named Zhong Juying in the village. Tian Sisi is extremely disappointed. Although she doesn't want to admit it, she understands that my mother will never appear again in this life. + +"Zhao Di, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" Zhong Juying looked worriedly at Tian Sisi, who looked unhappy. + +"It's okay, I'm fine. By the way, I changed my name. From now on, you can call me Tian Sisi. Remember, I miss you so much!" Tian Sisi no longer thinks about my mother's problems. She has always been an optimist. She doesn't think too much about things she can't figure out. Living the present moment is the most important thing. + +"Tian Sisi sounds so nice. It sounds like a city name. It matches Zhaodi, well, Sisi, you are so good." Zhong Lanying kept praising her, and the others nodded cooperatively. Zhong Lanying looked a bit smooth and very good at pleasing others, but she was not annoying. Her eyes were very clean, unlike Zhong Yuying's eyes, which were full of calculations. + +Although Tian Sisi is not a capable person, it is probably because she has not enjoyed the warmth of family since she was a child. She is very sensitive to the good and evil of the people around her. Tian Sisi can basically feel whoever wants to scheme against her or who is sincere to her. This talent of hers also makes her have no good friends. The society of later generations is too impetuous, and people rarely have sincerity and calculations. Therefore, although Tian Sisi has a lot of contacts in her address book, she has no true friends. + +Zhong Lanying and the others only had their snowmen piled up. Tian Sisi had a childlike innocence, took off her gloves, and let two gloves hang around her neck. The gloves were knitted by Zhu Aiqing. She specially knitted a thin strap so that Tian Sisi could hang them around her neck when she was not using the gloves, so as not to lose them. This was mainly because Tian Sisi had a dark history of losing her gloves several times before. + +"Sisi, your gloves are so beautiful. Are they knitted by your mother-in-law?" Zhong Lianying looked at Tian Sisi's clothes, rain boots, and woolen hat with envy. She couldn't afford to wear any of these things, and she didn't know if she would be able to wear them in this life. + +"Yeah." Tian Sisi nodded. Although she didn't like these rustic clothes, she had to admit that this outfit was at the forefront of fashion in the 1970s. Coupled with her beautiful appearance, she really looked like a doll and was loved by everyone. + +Tian Sisi rolled a small ball of snow with them to make the snowman's head. They used charcoal to mark the snowman's eyebrows, nose, eyes, and mouth. After a while, a naive snowman appeared. The girls looked at their works of art with a sense of accomplishment. Tian Sisi thought for a while, took off the wool hat on his head and put it on the snowman's head, and then hung the wool gloves on the snowman. + +Tian Sisi looked at the snowman that had become more agile with satisfaction, clapped her hands, and put her hands into her bags to keep warm. Unfortunately, she didn’t have a mobile phone, otherwise she could have taken a photo with the snowman and sent it to the space. In her previous life, Tian Sisi was a selfie-obsessed person and wanted to take pictures all the time. Oh, what a pity, it seems I still have to find a way to earn money to buy a camera! I don’t know how much a camera costs now. I’ll ask my uncle when he comes to have lunch. + +The sun was getting stronger and stronger, and the snow was melting faster. From time to time, snow water fell from the trees and dripped on her body. It was so cold that Tian Sisi shivered several times. Why was it so cold in Yuequan Village in the 1970s? In later generations, it didn’t even snow much. + +She took the hat and gloves from the snowman and put them on, said goodbye to Zhong Lanying and the others, and made an appointment to play together next time. Before leaving, she gave them all the remaining peanuts, especially giving more to Zhong Juying. Although this Zhong Juying was not the other Zhong Juying, Tian Sisi couldn't help but want to take care of this poor and sensible girl. + +Tian Sisi asked her two younger brothers to go home for lunch. The two little guys were having fun and of course they didn't want to go back. However, Tian Sisi glared and they followed them obediently. If sister went to complain to her father, they would have to eat fried pork with bamboo shoots. + +The uncle's family had also arrived. Tian Mantong was standing at the door looking towards them, obviously waiting for them. Tian Sisi saw Tian Mantong instinctively running towards him and called out "Uncle" coquettishly. This was probably a conditioned reflex of this body. + +Tian Mantong looked her up and down happily, "You are in good spirits, but you have lost a lot of weight, and there is no trace of fat on your face. My uncle brought you malted milk and milk powder, so you can replenish yourself." + +"Brother-in-law, I won't eat it. Give the malted milk and milk powder to Jianhua and Zhenhua. (Tian Jianhua is Tian Mantong's second son, 6 years old, Tian Zhenhua's younger son, 3 years old, and his eldest son Tian Yaohua, 8 years old.) I have grown up. If I eat more, I will gain weight." Tian Sisi has the nerve to eat such rare things. + +Although her brother-in-law has a rich job, malted milk and milk powder are now rare commodities, and it is difficult to buy them even if you have money. Thinking that her brother-in-law only bought them for her, her three cousins ​​at home would definitely not be able to eat them. She could not bring hatred to herself. The original owner was too rude in the past and always accepted other people's kindness to her with peace of mind, so her cousins ​​had great opinions on her. + +Tian Mantong glanced at Tian Sisi in surprise and felt that his niece had really changed and became much more well-behaved. Although she was cute before, she was petty and did not like to share good things with others. Dad was right. A-nan became more sensible after she fell ill. Tian Mantong was very happy with his niece's change. + +"What nutritional supplements do boys take? Don't spoil them. Grandma can keep them for herself." + +Tian Sisi refused to take it because she had grown up. In the end, under the compromise of the old man, Tian Sisi left a pack of malted milk and milk powder for Tian Mantong's three children. Tian Mantong's wife, Wang Qiumeng, had a satisfied smile on her lips. + +Wang Qiumeng works at the supply and marketing cooperative in the town, together with Tian Mantong's second brother-in-law Wang Baishan. Speaking of which, Wang Baishan and Wang Qiumeng are cousins, and it was Wang Baishan who arranged the marriage between Wang Qiumeng and Tian Mantong. Wang Qiumeng is a gentle and kind-hearted woman, unlike Tian Aiguo's wife Xu Qianwen, who is smart and capable. Xu Liwen always looks down on rural people because she is a Shanghainese and a high school teacher. Although she is polite on the face, her eyes are full of disdain. + +Normally, Wang Qiumeng had no problem with her husband buying clothes and shoes for Tian Sisi. She also felt that this niece brought good luck to their family and was a blessed child. However, this time her husband finally got a pack of malted milk and a pack of milk powder from the province. They originally agreed to give the malted milk to Tian Sisi and leave the milk powder to Zhenhua, but her husband saw that Tian Sisi was always bad, so he brought both of them today, and the younger son didn't have to eat either. + +Wang Qiumeng, who had always been soft-spoken, turned around and Tian Mantong choked. Wang Qiumeng felt uncomfortable along the way and was suffocating in her heart. Her husband was too kind to this niece. In his heart, his wife and son were not as good as this niece. Therefore, Wang Qiumeng also felt a little resentful towards Tian Sisi. Now that Tian Sisi took the initiative to ask for malted milk and milk powder, Wang Qiumeng immediately felt guilty and felt that she was too petty. + +Feeling that Wang Qiumeng's breath had returned to calmness, Tian Sisi quietly exhaled.

You have to queue up in Shanghai to buy it, and you have to ask someone to find connections. Grandma, we rural people are not interested in playing with this thing. This thing is a waste of money.

It would be better if they were more open-minded, but Tian Lili was just like her mother Xu Qianwen.

They take turns every year. The Tian family has always had such a tradition. This is the rule set by the old man.

It was a courtyard. The yard was about half an acre in size. Except for a well, the yard was full of strange-shaped trees. The trees were not big, only one person tall., has no leaves, but is full of bunches of fruits, the size of pearls, round, like grapes, and the fruits are of different colors, red, green, purple, and black. This kind of tree is planted all over the yard, there are about fifty or sixty trees. + +She approached the well and dipped down. The water in the well was bottomless. There was a bucket for water above the well mouth. Tian Sisi put the bucket down and used all her strength to fetch half a bucket of water. She took a handful of water with her hands and drank. The water was warm and sweet, and tasted better than Nongfu Spring. Tian Sisi couldn't help but take a few more sips. + +Tian Sisi pushed open the vermilion door. Inside was a room that smelled of wine. The room was not big, fifty or sixty square meters, and the floor was covered with white marble tiles. There were two pools in the center, one large and one small. The large pool was the size of a swimming pool, and the small pool was only the size of a basin. + +The aroma of wine was emanating from the big pool. The pool was full of turquoise liquid. The depth of the pool could not be seen. It exuded waves of intoxicating aroma of wine. The small pool was next to the large pool. There was milk-like liquid in it, which was flush with the wall of the pool. Tian Sisi noticed that the small pool was next to the large pool. There was a small gap at the edge of the pool, and a trace of extremely thick milky white liquid slowly flowed into the large pool along the gap. It flowed really slowly, hundreds of times slower than a snail. According to Tian Sisi's estimation, it would take at least a week for the liquid to flow into the large pool. + +What are these two pools used for? Is it a wine pool? She looked around and saw that there was a tall cabinet in the corner of the room, which was covered with drawers. Tian Sisi walked over and opened one. There was a notebook inside, which was written in calligraphy. Fortunately, it was in regular script, which Tian Sisi could understand. It recorded a method of making a wine. According to the notes, the wine was called "Yan Yang Wine." Regardless of whether men or women drank one cup of this wine every day, they would stay young forever. + +The same goes for other drawers. Each drawer contains a wine prescription, which can cure various chronic diseases, prolong life, harm people, and also have many ancient prescriptions that have been lost. Tian Sisi was dazzled by the prescriptions. + +From the records in the notebook in the largest drawer, Tian Sisi learned that this space is called Qiongyu Space. Only direct descendants of the He family can enter. The He family? It seemed that the original owner's biological father's surname was He. Tian Sisi continued to read. The big pond was Qiongchi. No matter what kind of wine was brewed, as long as some nectar from the Qiongchi was mixed in, the brewed wine would be like nectar and jade liquid, and the aroma of the wine could float ten miles away. + +The small pond is a jade pond, and the liquid in it is spiritual liquid, but people cannot drink it directly. The spiritual liquid must be brewed into wine to exert its effect. Ordinary people often drink wine mixed with spiritual liquid, which will definitely prolong life and maintain good health. + +The well in the yard is filled with ordinary water, but the water is only liters, and the trees are koji trees. When making wine, the pulp of the black fruits of the koji tree is mixed into the grain, and the grain can be fermented. It has the same effect as koji, but the effect of the koji tree fruit is much better than that of koji. + +The remaining peels can be thrown into the Qiong pool inside, and these peels will automatically turn into Qiong liquid. There are more than twenty acres of fields outside the courtyard. The ancestors of the He family planted many crops, including rice, sorghum, corn, wheat, sweet potatoes, flowers, etc., which are all raw materials for making wine. There is also a mountain with many fruit trees and medicinal materials, as well as many animals, which can be used to make wine. + +All in all, everything in this space is for wine-making. When Tian Sisi saw that it was used for wine-making, her heart dropped. In this age where people don't even have enough to eat, how can there be any extra food for wine-making? Even Mr. Tian at home only dared to drink a small cup of sorghum with one meal. The sorghum was specially grown by Tian Manyin on his own land. It was not much, only half of the land, and the wine brewed was just enough for the old man to drink alone. + +By the way, there are fields outside. Tian Sisi hurriedly ran out and saw a large field. The crops in the field were all ripe, golden and red. Fortunately, the crops in this space would not rot even if they were not harvested. But how could she harvest so much food alone? And she has never done farm work, okay? God, since you have given me such a space, why not evolve its function a little further. How great would it be to harvest automatically! + +Tian Sisi looked up to the sky and sighed, and after a while, she became happy again. In this era of scarcity, having such a space was a great guarantee. Although the Tian family did not have to worry about food, it was only compared to those poor families. In the eyes of Tian Sisi, who was used to a good life, this kind of life of three meals a day and occasional meat stars was really not good. + +It's fine now. There's no need to worry about food.

The book says that those wild animals do not harm the space owner, and there are quite a lot of them, so it should be no problem to get some to eat! Don't worry, wait until you have a chance to go to Yuequan Mountain, and then take out the wild animals. Just say that you picked them up in Yuequan Mountain.

As expected, there are many fruit trees planted on the mountain, all kinds of fruits from the south and the north are mixed together.

She is only wearing a sweatshirt and sweatpants now, and she does not feel cold at all. + +Tian Sisi picked a few osmanthus gardens to eat. There were indeed quite a lot of wild animals on the mountain. Rabbits kept scurrying around. She actually saw several snakes with thick wrists swimming through the grass with pointed heads.

But why? What about those people in the mall? Tian Sisi was confused. She didn't know the reason for her time travel. Logically speaking, this space should belong to the original owner, but why did this modern shopping mall come with it? + +Tian Sisi, who was completely puzzled, was too lazy to think about it, and she just took it as it came. Since it was given to her, she would live with it, as long as she didn't use this space to do bad things. What she wanted most at the moment was to use this space to earn money for a camera. Although there were many cameras in the mall, she couldn't take them out. The cameras of later generations were completely different from the cameras of today. + +Tian Sisi remembered that this mall was quite big, with a total of six floors, including jewelry, clothing, amusement parks, supermarkets, food courts, etc. She climbed up the stairs and found that they were all there, but because there was no electricity, the amusement park could not be used. Tian Sisi went to the warehouse of the mall again, probably because it was newly opened and the goods inside were full. + +There are also many fresh foods frozen in the freezer. Fortunately, the space has a freshness preservation function. Otherwise, these fresh foods would have broken down long ago without electricity, but now they are still as fresh as before. Tian Sisi smiled with satisfaction. Yes, she didn't have to worry about running out of snacks in the future, and she also had enough meat. But she had to think of a good excuse so that the Tian family would not suspect her space. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/09/eng_cont/i_0011.txt b/09/eng_cont/i_0011.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..1f3ff84b0104de19f4968f1876c0058d1a62e79c --- /dev/null +++ b/09/eng_cont/i_0011.txt @@ -0,0 +1,57 @@ +Chapter 11 Be a peasant girl. + +Tian Sisi doesn't plan to tell anyone about the space.

With the biggest backing of space, Tian Sisi is extremely confident about a good life in the future. + +The door of the shopping mall is the backyard of the courtyard. No wonder she didn't see it just now. There are still a few rooms in the courtyard that she has not visited. Tian Sisi plans to come in to take a look next time. It has been a while since she came in. Mrs. Zhao has the habit of covering her granddaughter with a quilt. If the old lady doesn't see her, don't be scared. Besides, there are down quilts and beef jerky on the bed! + +Tian Sisi thought "I want to go out", so she returned to the bed and put the quilt and beef jerky into the space. She had already tried it just now. The goods in the mall can be put away with consciousness. The excited Tian Sisi couldn't sleep at all. She opened her eyes and looked at the bright moon outside the window, and her anxious heart instantly calmed down. + +Although she acted like a normal person during the day, only she knew that she was very scared. This was a strange era, a turbulent era. No one she knew was around, and she didn't even know what would happen in the future? + +But now she is convinced that it is not too bad to come here. She has the Tian family who dotes on her, and she also knows the direction of society in later generations. The most important thing is that she has the greatest guarantee - space. Although it is not as omnipotent as described in the novel, it is enough to ensure that she and the people she wants to protect can live a high-quality life. + +At this time, the clock in Mr. Tian's room rang "dang dang dang", eight times in total. Tian Sisi's eyes widened. How could it be only eight o'clock? It was obviously almost eight o'clock before she went to bed, and she had just been in the space for more than an hour. Why was it only eight o'clock now? Could it be? + +Tian Sisi's breathing became rapid. Is there a time difference between the space and the outside? In order to verify her idea, Tian Sisi entered the space again and stayed for about half an hour before going out. She put on her coat and ran to Mr. Tian's room. Only the old man's room in the Tian family had a clock. Mrs. Zhao and the old man were not asleep. The old man was listening to the radio, and Mrs. Zhao was making shoes with an oil lamp. + +When she saw Tian Sisi, who was only wearing a coat, she was so frightened that she stood up and hugged her granddaughter into the bed, "Oh, why did you come here with so little clothes on? You're just in time, don't get sick again!" + +Tian Sisi let Mrs. Zhao hold her in her arms. Now she felt that being a child was quite interesting. She could act as coquettishly as she wanted, "I can't sleep." + +"If you can't sleep, why don't you ask me to come over? Why don't you just run here with just some clothes on? You don't know how cold it is outside?" Mrs. Zhao nodded her granddaughter's forehead. + +Tian Sisi giggled, not to mention how good she was. She had seen it just now, and the time was still eight o'clock, which meant that the outside had hardly changed during the half hour she had been in the space. It was great. She didn't have to worry about being discovered when she went to the space in the future. + +The old man was also happy when he saw his giggling granddaughter, "Why are you so happy?" + +"I'm just happy, I found a treasure." Tian Sisi said half-truthfully, but the old man and Mrs. Zhao obviously didn't believe it, thinking that the child couldn't tell the difference between what happened in dreams and reality. + +Tian Sisi lay on the bed of the old man and Mrs. Zhao for a long time, and then she was carried back to her room to sleep by Mrs. Zhao. After Mrs. Zhao left, Tian Sisi immediately entered the space. This time she went to the farm tool room in the courtyard to get a sickle, put on gloves, and cut the wheat first. She cut half an acre of wheat land, and she was panting from exhaustion. This body was too small to do much work at all, so she could only work on these crops slowly. + +Just rest and work for a while, and she slept for a while. Tian Sisi harvested two acres of wheat, and cut and yarded the wheat straws, which can be used as firewood. The harvested wheat has full grains and looks like high-quality wheat. It must taste very good and is perfect for making wine. Tian Sisi packed the newly harvested wheat in sacks and piled it on the ground. It doesn't rain in the space, so it's okay to leave it outside. + +Tian Sisi waved her sore hand and wiped herself with well water. The well water was warm and not cold at all. Tian Sisi planned to collect the remaining ten acres of grain in a few nights. Then she would burn the roots left in the field and plow the land again to plant crops again. The notes said that as long as the roots were burned as fertilizer and the land was plowed again, seeds could be planted, and there would be no need to care about them in the future. + +It seems that the land in this space is very easy to grow, it just takes a little effort. From now on, she can come here and work as a farm girl when she has nothing to do at night. The harvested grain will not spoil anyway. After the turmoil is over, she can make wine and sell it. Liquor is liquid gold. Isn’t it the tobacco factory or the winery that has the most profit in future generations? + +Tian Sisi made plans for her future life and was full of confidence. She wiped her body and feet clean and walked out of the space. She also looked at the moon in the sky. It was still hanging on the pear tree in the yard and did not move at all. She had stayed in the space for dozens of hours just now. Now Tian Sisi could determine that the time in the space was quite different from the time in the outside world. + +This Qiongyu Space is really a treasure. God still cares about her. Although he sent her to such a poor era, he also gave her a family who loved her and gave her space as a guarantee. Tian Sisi couldn't help but bow to God several times. + +Tian Sisi fell asleep quickly after doing physical work. In the meantime, Mrs. Zhao came over once. Seeing her granddaughter sleeping with her little face flushed and her red mouth slightly open, she couldn't help but kiss Tian Sisi twice on the cheek, which made Tian Sisi hum a few times, turned over and went back to sleep. Mrs. Zhao lovingly folded the quilt for Tian Sisi, and then went back to the room to sleep peacefully. + +The sun was still very good the next day, and the snow outside had almost melted after yesterday's strong sunlight. However, the temperature in the morning was still very low, and the mud on the road was frozen hard. Today was the sixteenth day of the first lunar month. According to the old saying, the Spring Festival was over, and the farming work for the new year had to be arranged. As soon as the Jingzhe arrived, spring plowing would begin. + +After Tian Manyin had breakfast, he was maintaining farm tools in the yard. Farm tools are the bread and butter of farmers. Every farmer regards farm tools as good partners, and Tian Manyin was no exception. He sharpened his hoes and sickles with a cold light. + +Tian Manyin and his daughter agreed to go to town after lunch. The road was too hard now. He couldn't bear to bump his baby's bicycle, so he had to wait until the sun softened the road after lunch before walking. Anyway, it only took an hour to ride to town, and the round trip only took two hours. + +Tian Sisi had made an appointment with her father to go to the town together. She mainly wanted to see what Wangjia Town was like in the 1970s. She also wanted to see if there were any ways to make money. She had to earn the one hundred yuan or so to buy the camera on her own. + +In the morning, when no one was in the kitchen, Tian Sisi quietly added some rice from the mall to the rice vat. It wasn't much, just two or three kilograms. If it was too much, Mrs. Zhao would get suspicious. Tian Sisi stirred the rice a few times so that Mrs. Zhao couldn't tell the difference. Then she added half a kilogram of cooking oil to the oil pot. Although the Tian family had no worries about eating and drinking, the rice and oil at home were never enough. + +Mr. Tian and Mrs. Zhao ate grain supplied by the state. Because the old man was an old revolutionary, he was provided with 32 kilograms of rice, 6 taels of oil, and one kilogram of meat every month (roughly this figure). Mrs. Zhao was a family worker in the army, and she received 27 kilograms of rice, 5 taels of oil, and one kilogram of meat every month. Although this number is small, it was special care. You must know that urban people at that time only had 4 taels of oil and 5 taels of meat per month, 27 kilograms of rice for men, and 24 kilograms for women. + +Tian Manyin and Zhu Aiqing earned work points from the team, and the team distributed food uniformly at the end of each year. Tian Manyin and Zhu Aiqing were both capable people, and they earned full work points, but they still couldn't eat enough of the food they were allocated. This was also a common phenomenon at the time. No family in the countryside could have enough to eat. The Tian family was relatively good, with monthly food subsidies from the old man and Mrs. Zhao. + +Originally, the Tian family's food was enough, but Mrs. Zhao cared about her granddaughter and grandson. She always liked to add more oil when cooking, and she didn't like to cook thin food. Three meals a day were basically dry rice, so the food was not enough.

When she had the opportunity, she would secretly subsidize grain and oil for her family so that everyone in the family could eat. As for the meat, she had to find another way. The family only had two kilograms of meat supplied by Mr. Tian and Mrs. Zhao every month. In addition, there were also pig offal sent by her eldest son-in-law Liu Bogen from time to time. As the head chef of the township commune canteen, Liu Bogen had the means to buy pig offal. + +Mrs. Zhao often mixes two kilograms of meat with green vegetables or chopped leeks, fills it and makes dumplings, and sends some to Tian Bajin's family.

The meat can only be eaten at the end of the year when the New Year pigs are slaughtered. Mr. Tian has only one biological brother left. Mrs. Zhao does not need the old man to ask. Every time she makes dumplings, Tian Sisi will bring a bowl to him. + +In the eyes of others, the life that seemed nourishing was a bit bitter in Tian Sisi's eyes.

Tian Sisi only ate a small bowl of rice, and the vegetables were only lightly touched with winter bamboo shoots and green vegetables, but she ate several pieces of sweet potatoes. Tian's sweet potatoes were yellow-hearted sweet potatoes, very noodles and sweet, so Tian Sisi ate three pieces in a row. + +Mrs. Zhao looked at her in surprise, "Ana, don't you hate sweet potatoes the most? Why do you eat so many today?" + +Tian Sisi's heart sank, "I don't know, I suddenly want to eat it. These sweet potatoes are delicious. I want to eat them at night." + +"Some people's tastes change after they get seriously ill. That's probably the case for grandma. Eat whatever you want and ask your wife to steam it again at night, but don't eat too much, as it may cause heartburn." The old man took the initiative to explain to Tian Sisi. + +Tian Sisi nodded.

She already had such a small stomach, so it would not be good for her to hold on. + +"Mom!" Zhu Aiqing shouted helplessly. In her opinion, girls should not be too coquettish.

She gave the bun to Tian Manyin, but Tian Manyin couldn't compete with the child for food. He shook his head and lovingly let Tian Sisi eat. Helpless Tian Sisi had to take a bite of the big bun in his hand, revealing the greasy meat inside. Originally, Tian Sisi planned to take a symbolic bite and pretend that he couldn't eat it and give it to Tian Manyin, but she didn't expect that the bun now was so real and full of fatty meat. + +Okay, there's no need to pretend now.

Donghua and Qinghua were very sensible. They both touched their bellies and said they were full. Tian Manyin smiled. He knew how much his two sons eat. He could eat at least three of these meat buns. The three children were saving it for him! + +Tian Manyin, who was deeply moved, blinked and felt his nose was a little sore. Since he was on the street, he didn't give in much and ate the buns on his hand in three mouthfuls. He still wrapped the remaining seven buns in paper and put them in the basket behind the bicycle. + +Seeing the post office, Tian Sisi thought about the red stamps in the motherland that were very popular in later generations. However, it is now 1972. The post office should not be selling these stamps, but there should be many other types of stamps for sale now. In her previous life, she read on the Internet that the stamps issued in this period are quite valuable in later generations. Thinking of this, Tian Sisi happily took Tian Manyin and the others to the post office. + +Tian Sisi didn't know which stamps were good and which were bad, so she bought some at 4 cents each, and bought about twenty stamps. The money was paid by Tian Manyin. She originally wanted to buy more, but seeing Tian Manyin's expression of pain and hesitation, Tian Sisi had to buy less. She should wait until she earns money later. + +"Dad, we can write more letters to Third Uncle (Tian Aiguo) and Brother Zhonghua in the future, so that Third Uncle will not always complain about us not writing enough letters." Tian Sisi found an excellent reason. + +Tian Manyin thought about it. When his eldest brother came back to visit relatives during the New Year, he complained that he wrote less and less letters, and asked him to write at least one letter a month in the future. Grandma didn't mention it but he forgot about it. Now there was no need for Tian Sisi to remind him. He ran to the counter and bought a dozen envelopes for a penny each, enough for the family to use for a year. + +How could you not go to the supply and marketing cooperative when you came to town? Today's supply and marketing cooperative is comparable to the supermarket of later generations. You can buy everything. Tian Manyin originally wanted to go back, but couldn't rely on Tian Sisi's coquettishness, so he had to go to the supply and marketing cooperative again. + +Wang Qiumeng worked here. When she saw Tian Manyin and the others, she stood up happily and said, "Second brother, did you take the children to the street to buy things?" + +"I mainly went to change my name for my grandmother. She said she must come here to have a look, so she came here." Tian Manyin explained to his younger siblings with a smile. + +"Tell aunt, Donghua and Qinghua what you want to eat, and she will buy it for you." Wang Qiumeng was very polite and talked to the three children with a smile. + +Tian Sisi shook her head, "Auntie, you don't need to spend money. I have money myself. I'll buy some biscuits later. Auntie, help me bring them to Zhenhua and the others. |" + +Tian Sisi was still feeling guilty for tricking the little guy in Zhenhua yesterday. She just happened to buy some biscuits for the little guy to eat this time. Wang Qiumeng smiled and said, "Grandma will keep her own money and spend it slowly later. Brother Zhenhua and the others have food, so you don't need to buy it for them." + +"Some of them were bought by my uncle and aunt. I have never bought food for Zhenhua once." Tian Sisi insisted. She really wanted to buy biscuits for Tian Mantong's three children. The original owner had always enjoyed Tian Mantong's kindness to her, but didn't know how to repay her. She couldn't be such a white-eyed wolf. + +Wang Qiumeng couldn't resist Tian Sisi, and Tian Manyin also helped, "It's okay, brothers and sisters, just let A'nan buy it. You and Mantong often buy things for A'nan and the three of them, so it's right for A'nan to buy some biscuits for Zhenhua and the others." + +Wang Qiumeng, who couldn't compete with the father and daughter, had to follow Tian Sisi. The supply and marketing cooperative had two kinds of biscuits, one round and one square, with many small holes and a lot of sugar stuck on them. They cost two cents a pound, which is considered high-end now. Tian Sisi also bought a pound. Another waitress wrapped them in hemp paper and tied a bow with a rope. The boxy ones looked like gift boxes. + +"Auntie, your wrapping is so beautiful." Tian Sisi praised her sincerely. It was so angular that most people really couldn't wrap it up. + +The waitress was a plump woman in her thirties who seemed to be quite talkative. After hearing Tian Sisi's words, she immediately narrowed her eyes with a smile and turned to Wang Qiumeng and said, "Xiao Wang, your niece has such a sweet mouth. It makes me feel so sweet when she talks about it. She also has a good appearance, even prettier than the little girls in Shanghai." + +Wang Qiumeng was very proud, but her face was calm and her mouth was modest, "Sister Li, please stop praising her. Our grandma's tail will be raised to the sky." + +"Auntie, I don't have a tail." Tian Sisi corrected seriously. + +Wang Qiumeng and the fat woman were stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter, especially the fat woman Sister Li. She laughed so hard that the ashes on the beams shook down. Sister Li wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and kept rubbing her belly, "Oh, my stomach hurts so much. Xiao Wang, your niece is so cute. She really misses me." + +Tian Sisi looked at the two women laughing incomprehensibly, and secretly complained that the point of laughter was really too low. She hadn't even told a joke yet, so she couldn't stand it anymore. If she told some jokes she had seen in her previous life, wouldn't they have to faint from laughter? + +Tian Sisi then bought some fruit candies and sorghum candy, put them in a paper bag, and bought two kilograms of salt, which cost eight cents a kilogram. She noticed that the salt at home was about to be used up. She also bought two boxes of clam oil, which was packed in shells and cost only five cents a box. Tian Sisi used this kind of hand rub oil when she was a child. It is really effective in wiping hands in winter and will not cause frostbite. + +She saw Mrs. Zhao scratching her hands several times, and some places were swollen. The same was true for Tian Manyin and Zhu Aiqing's hands. Maybe people nowadays didn't have the awareness to take care of their hands. Obviously, this clam oil is very cheap, but only a few people use it. + +Tian Sisi also saw Yashuang Snow Cream, a familiar yellow square cardboard box with small floral flowers. Inside was a white jade-like porcelain bottle with a green bottle cap. Tian Sisi had used this kind of cream when she was a child. It had a strong fragrance and was very good for keeping warm and moisturizing in winter. This kind of cream disappeared for a long time, but it became popular again before Tian Sisi traveled through time. You can see it in shopping malls selling Yashuang. It still has this kind of packaging and has not changed at all. + +Yashuang is not cheap, a bottle costs 50 cents (Lao Yang couldn't find any information about this price, so he had to make a rough estimate). Tian Sisi calculated how much it cost in her mind. Two kilograms of biscuits were 40 cents, a pack of sugar was 45 cents, salt was 16 cents, and two boxes of clam oil were 1 cent. She had brought five yuan with her, and the old man gave her another two yuan. After excluding the six cents she had just bought for the buns, she still had six yuan and three cents left. + +Money now is so valuable, Tian Sisi couldn't help but sigh, it's not like in her previous life, when she went to the supermarket with a red ticket and couldn't buy anything at all. In this case, let's buy two bottles of Yashuang, one for my aunt and one for my mother. If I only buy it for my mother and not my aunt, it's not good. The most important thing is that my aunt is just watching. + +Tian Sisi forgot again that she was just a little kid now, why should she consider so many human relationships? She piled two bottles of Yashuang with other things and asked Sister Li to count the money for her. Although Wang Qiumeng was curious as to why Tian Sisi bought so many things, she didn't ask any more questions. + +"Two yuan and a dime." Sister Li clicked on her abacus and quickly reported the amount. + +Tian Manyin wanted to take money out of the bag. In his opinion, where could an adult ask the child to pay? Tian Sisi resolutely refused to let Tian Manyin pay, "Dad, I don't want you to pay. I bought this myself. I have money." + +While talking to Tian Sisi, she took out the money from her pocket, counted out two yuan and a dime and gave it to Sister Li. When she saw a little girl carrying so much money, Sister Li raised her eyebrows. The adults in this family must be too lenient. How could they put so much money on a child? Don't worry about losing it either. + +Tian Sisi handed two packs of biscuits and a bottle of cream to Wang Qiumeng, startling her, "Ah, one pack of biscuits is enough. The other pack is for Donghua and Tsinghua. You can also take the cream back to your mother. How can I use your child's things?" + +"Donghua and Tsinghua have sweets to eat, and you and Mom each have a bottle of cream, so they all make you feel good." Tian Sisi tried her best to speak in a child's tone. + +Tian Manyin didn't expect his daughter to have such a big idea, but it was appropriate to give it to his aunt. Over the years, the children in the family were wearing and wearing clothes that Mantong brought back. Tian Manyin smiled and asked Wang Qiumeng to accept it. The adults all spoke, and Wang Qiumeng had no choice but to accept it. ps: Come over with your recommendation votes! \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/09/eng_cont/i_0015.txt b/09/eng_cont/i_0015.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..80dac8d67b4f39dc4dccb90284a67f6719c9be9e --- /dev/null +++ b/09/eng_cont/i_0015.txt @@ -0,0 +1,61 @@ +Chapter 15 Past events. + +Wang Qiumeng sent them out of the supply and marketing cooperative.

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.

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 is still a pot of sweet potatoes, four vegetables, and a large bowl of fried tofu. The fried tofu was later called Xishi tofu by the restaurant to attract publicity. In fact, the locals call it fried tofu or mixed tofu, which is to put the whole piece of tofu. Grind the tofu into pieces, add diced pork, diced bamboo shoots, diced fungus and other fresh ingredients, stir-fry them together in oil, pour in the broth, and then when the water boils, pour in a small half bowl of cilantro powder juice, stir continuously, and once it boils, you can use a large bowl to serve it. + +Fried tofu is a famous local dish. The first dish at a banquet must be fried tofu. The more ingredients in it, the more glorious the dish will be. Of course, there are not so many ingredients now. Adding some meat and bamboo shoots is very high-end. Many people only make tofu with cilantro powder, which cannot be eaten often. They only make this dish for guests during festivals. + +Mrs. Zhao of Tianjia's fried tofu is very particular about her cooking. She not only adds meat and bamboo shoots, but also black fungus and young garlic leaves. The crystal clear juice is dotted with a few green garlic leaves. It is full of color, flavor and appetite. + +Tian Sisi loves this dish very much. She used to make this dish often when she was at home alone. She invented many tricks, such as adding sea cucumber or crab meat, and using chicken soup and duck soup to make the stock. In short, they were all random combinations, but the effect was pretty good and the taste was very good. Mrs. Zhao was very good at her craftsmanship. Tian Sisi scooped up a small bowl of tofu and ate it spicy. Suddenly her whole body felt warm and comfortable. + +"Mother, the fried tofu you made is so delicious." Tian Sisi praised her without hesitation. Now she just opened her mouth to say good things without feeling embarrassed at all.

The old man and Mrs. Zhao were actually greedy for meat. When they usually eat meat, they feel sorry for their grandchildren and are always reluctant to eat more.

Tsinghua finally asked after holding in his words all afternoon. If it were normal times, he would never ask this question, but Tian Sisi has been so kind and approachable in the past two days, and he has gained a lot of courage. + +"Ah?" Tian Sisi was confused by the cold question from her younger brother. She turned her head to look at Tsinghua University and saw that this younger brother's eyes were full of grievances and accusations. His two big black eyes were looking at her. Donghua next to her, although not as obvious as her younger brother, still showed a very wronged look. Tian Sisi suddenly felt that she was really unforgivable. + +In the afternoon, she was only focused on buying biscuits for the Zhenhua boy who was tricked by her. How could she remember these two little guys? It seemed that the young minds of the two little ones had been seriously damaged. The guilty Tian Sisi had an idea, "How could I not remember Donghua and Tsinghua? You close your eyes and watch me do tricks for you." + +Donghua and Qinghua closed their eyes in disbelief. Tian Sisi quickly turned her back and pretended to take something out of her pocket. In fact, she took out two pieces of Daliyuan bread from the mall. She tore off the plastic packaging on the outside and said, "Dangdang, let's see what good things my sister has made for you?" + +The two little guys opened their eyes and saw Sister holding two pieces of yellow pastry in her hand. It exuded an alluring fragrance, which was even more fragrant than the cakes brought by Uncle San during the Chinese New Year. The two hurriedly reached out to take the buns, put them in front of their noses and smelled them, "It smells so good! Sister, what is this?" + +"Bread, as long as you are obedient from now on, I will make it delicious for you every day, but you are not allowed to tell others. If others find out, I will never buy it again." Tian Sisi scared them. + +The two of them nodded hurriedly and seriously, staring at their round eyes, and promised not to tell anyone else. Tian Sisi smiled with satisfaction and touched their little round heads. It was good to have two cute little brothers. It felt like raising puppies. + +The two of them asked, "Sister, have you eaten it?". After receiving a positive answer from Tian Sisi, Xiao Qinghua ate the bun in three mouthfuls. After eating, he kept chewing, as if he was savoring the sweetness of the bread. "The bread is really delicious, but it's a bit small. Do you still have it, Sis?" + +"It's gone today. We'll eat it tomorrow. Donghua, why don't you eat it?" Tian Sisi asked curiously when she saw her eldest brother holding the bread but not eating it. + +"I want to leave it to my grandparents. They have never eaten such delicious bread." Donghua's words made Tian Sisi's eyes turn red. How could there be such a sensible child? His eyes were obviously so longing, but compared to the 8-year-old Donghua, the original owner was so heartless. + +"It's okay, Donghua, eat up. Sister, I still have some. Tomorrow we will go to the mountains to catch wild animals and let my grandparents eat the meat." Tian Sisi gently asked Donghua to eat the bread quickly, and she was determined to go to the mountains tomorrow. + +Donghua heard that his sister said there was still bread, but he couldn't hold it in. He had used a lot of willpower to restrain himself from eating the bread just now. He saw his younger brother looking at the bread in his hand eagerly, and after thinking about it, he broke off half of it and gave it to Tsinghua University, and ate the other half in one bite. + +Tsinghua didn't want anything, and the two brothers gave in to each other. It was really warm. Tian Sisi took out two more buns from her pocket, tore off the package and handed them to the two brothers, "Okay, everyone has a share, don't fight." + +The two of them looked at Tian Sisi's pocket in surprise, thinking it was so magical. Why could it hold so many things? If the two of them had watched "Doraemon", they would definitely say "Wow! Tinker Bell's Magic Pocket!" + +"Sister, are we really going to the mountains to look for wild animals tomorrow?" Tsinghua asked Tian Sisi after finishing the bread. + +"Well, tomorrow we will go to the mountains to collect firewood and find wild animals. From now on, we can eat meat every day!" + +"Really, eat meat every day, sister, let me make meat buns and eat them every day!" Xiao Qinghua jumped up with joy. In his little heart, being able to eat meat buns every day was a very happy thing. + +Donghua on the side saw that his younger brother and elder sister were so confident in going up the mountain to find meat to eat, and couldn't bear to tell them the truth. Now is the time of winter wilderness, and there are no wild animals in the mountains that are so easy to catch. Besides, even if there are, they are in the deep mountains. People as young as them can't walk in at all. Forget it, elder sister and younger brother will find out when they can't find the wild animals tomorrow. + +The three siblings chatted and laughed and soon arrived at Tian Bajin's house. "Woof, woof," Tian Bajin's dog barked at the sound of footsteps. Tian Sisi was so frightened that she stopped in her tracks. Why didn't anyone remind her that her second grandfather had a dog? A thin and fierce big yellow dog rushed out of Tian Bajin's yard. When he saw a familiar person, he whined a few times and walked towards them wagging his tail. + +"Don't come here!" Tian Sisi's voice trembled, her legs were weak. Don't blame her for being so worthless. In the previous life, Tian Sisi was bitten by dogs three times, once on the butt, once on the thigh, and once on the calf. Forget about the pain. Injections are scary. One injection lasts a month, and people feel particularly uncomfortable after the anti-epidemic injection. That's why Tian Sisi is afraid of dogs when she sees them and wants to run away. + +"Sister, rhubarb won't bite. You are so timid. You have to be afraid every time." Tsinghua despised Tian Sisi, who was older than him. + +Rhubarb probably smelled the sugar smell on Tian Sisi's body, and kept sniffing Tian Sisi's body with its dog head, and also made a low whine. Where is the dog owner? Why don't you come out and take him away? Tian Sisi was about to cry but had no tears. Donghua couldn't stop laughing when he saw Sister A's appearance. He shouted at the big dog in a low voice, "Dahuang, come here, I have delicious food here." + +Donghua took out a small piece of bread, which he had left for Rhubarb just now because he was reluctant to eat it. Rhubarb was a good friend of the Tian family's children. Anyone who had something delicious would think of leaving it to Rhubarb. Rhubarb smelled the fragrance of the things in Donghua's hands and waggled his big tail excitedly. He swallowed it in one bite and looked at Donghua longingly after eating. + +"It's gone. I'll bring you something delicious next time." Donghua spread his hands and told it that it was really gone. Dahuang then returned to the yard with drooped ears. Tian Sisi looked funny. The dog had become a spirit. If there was something delicious, it would shake its head and tail, but if it didn't, it wouldn't even pay attention. At this time, she was not as scared as before. + +Tian Bajin's wife Li Yuedi heard the commotion and came out. When she saw the three of them, Tian Sisi, she hurriedly smiled and let them into the house. Tian Bajing and his family were all there. Tian Bajing and Li Yuedi had two sons and three daughters. The eldest son Tian Mantu and the second son Tian Manmu were all married to nearby towns. + +Tian Manmu has three sons and one daughter. The daughter Tian Qingqing is married at the age of 24. The eldest son Tian Jinhua is also married and has a son at the age of 23. His son is named Niu Niu. He is the same age as Tian Mantong’s youngest son Zhenhua. Their birthdays are not only a few days apart, but they are a generation apart. The second son Tian Guanghua is 20 years old and serves as a soldier in the army. The third son Tian Shouhua is 16 years old. + +Tian Manmu is the township accountant and has three sons and one daughter. The eldest daughter Tian Xiuxiu is 20 years old and married. The eldest son Tian Chaohua is 18 years old and serves as a soldier in the army. The second son Tian Xinhua is 13 years old and the third son Tian Qinghua is 11 years old. + +Tian Bajin's family has not yet been separated, and a dozen or so people live together. Although it is a bit crowded, it is very lively. It seems that they have just had dinner, and the aroma of the food is still filling the air. Everyone is sitting around the charcoal pot to warm up. Tian Xinhua, Tian Qinghua, and Tian Shouhua are playing cards. When they see Tian Sisi and the others coming, they hurriedly bring some stools over and let them sit down. + +Tian Bajin was smoking a hookah leisurely. He was two years younger than the old man, but he looked older than the old man. His face was full of wrinkles. When he saw Tian Sisi, he asked with a smile: "Ana went to town today to change her name?" + +"Well, it's changed. Second grandpa, second empress, you can't call me Zhaodi anymore. You have to call me Tian Sisi." Tian Sisi put her hand on the charcoal pot to bake, and announced her future name loudly, which made Tian Xinhua sneer and whisper, "It doesn't sound good at all." + +Among the many cousins, the relationship between the original owner and Tian Xinhua is relatively good. Tian Xinhua often ridicules the original owner, saying that she is a pig-headed person who was sold by others and paid for others. This is why Tian Xinhua hates the iron when he sees that the original owner is always deceived by Zhong Yuying. + +When the original owner lived a miserable life in his previous life, only this cousin and two younger brothers helped him. The others were heartbroken by the original owner's bad luck and didn't want to care about her. However, it was precisely because of this that the cousin was valuable, so Tian Sisi made up his mind to compensate this cousin and other cousins ​​for the original owner. + +"My grandpa said my name is nice, huh! You are jealous." Tian Sisi snorted and stepped on Tian Xinhua hard, earning an angry look from Tian Xinhua. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/09/eng_cont/i_0018.txt b/09/eng_cont/i_0018.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..d932f90f73cf217db89b3ced4867ff13c3849eed --- /dev/null +++ b/09/eng_cont/i_0018.txt @@ -0,0 +1,67 @@ +Chapter 18 Fool my cousin. + +"Tian Sisi sounds nice. She looks like a Shanghai girl. Our grandma is even better-looking than the Shanghai girl." Li Yuedi smiled and brought out a plate of melon seeds and peanuts, and gave her a handful to peel and eat. Tian Sisi didn't like the handful of melon seeds, but it was the second lady's kindness, so she thanked Li Yuedi for taking the melon seeds and putting them in her bag. + +Tian Sisi took out the sugar and clam oil from her arms and handed it to Li Yuedi, "Er Niangniang, this is the sugar and clam oil I bought in the town today. The clam oil can be used to wipe your hands and will not cause frostbite." + +"Oh, these are precious things. Grandma, take them back quickly. Donghua and Tsinghua can eat the candy, and the clam oil is for your mother and mother to use, but the second mother will not use it." Li Yuedi hurriedly stuffed the things back to Tian Sisi. Together with the three meat buns she had eaten before, these things cost at least fifty cents! She couldn't accept it. + +"My wife and mother are both useful. If you don't accept it, I won't eat the dried sweet potatoes made by my mother in the future." Tian Sisi pouted, pretending to be angry. + +Tian Bajin smiled and asked his wife to put it away. The eldest brother and sister-in-law took care of his family, and they were not less than this. This year, Mantu was asked to grow more sorghum and tobacco. The eldest brother was good at this. He had no other skills except to think of things in the fields. + +Li Yuedi had no choice but to put away the clam oil. This thing is a good thing and must be put away. Seeing this, Tian Sisi hurriedly said: "Second Lady, you have to take it out and use it. I will come to check it every few days." + +Li Yuedi nodded Tian Sisi's head and scolded with a smile: "You little weirdo! The Second Lady will definitely use it." + +Everyone else laughed after listening to the conversation between the old and the young. Tian Manmu was a joker. He said with a smile: "Ana, you have to come and check, otherwise you will have to keep this clam oil for several years." + +Tian Manmu's words had an origin. Tian Mantong once gave Li Yuedi a bag of malted milk, but Li Yuedi couldn't bear to eat it. She hid the bag of malted milk for several years. When she remembered to give it to her children, the malted milk had expired, and she regretted that Li Yuedi couldn't eat for three days. + +Li Yuedi laughed and scolded her second son. How could she still hide things like before? Speaking of which, people were not poor and troubled in the past. Now the life of her family is much better. Although it is not as good as her eldest brother's family, it is considered to be middle-class and upper-class in the village. In addition, there are two children in the family who are soldiers in the army. This is the first in the village. Who in the village does not envy her good fortune. Li Yuedi is very satisfied with her current life and is truly grateful to her eldest brother and his family. + +"Er Niangniang, you can use it, and I will buy it to honor you when you are done with it." Tian Sisi is a good girl, and Li Yuedi is a very straightforward woman, and she has a good relationship with Zhao Yueban, unlike other sisters who have many conflicts. Therefore, Li Yuedi is also very good to Tian Sisi. She is very clever with her hands. She often makes beautiful floral shoes for Tian Sisi, and also makes some delicious local snacks for Tian Sisi to eat. + +"You are such a good girl. I have accepted your filial piety. My mother is still young and can't make any money. When she makes money in the future, I will buy it for my second mother." Li Yuedi was coaxed to smile. + +"Flatterer!" Tian Xinhua whispered again. He just loved to hit this cousin from time to time, but judging from her appearance, she was indeed much more sensible than before. Could it be that she really grew a brain after a serious illness? Tian Xinhua thought to himself. + +Tian Sisi snorted at him and ignored him. Li Yuedi put away the clam oil and took out a few candies from the paper bag and gave each of the children one. Neither Tian Sisi nor Donghua Tsinghua University wanted them, and Li Yuedi did not force them to eat melon seeds. + +Tian Sisi took off her gloves, peeled the melon seeds one by one with her hands, and fed the peeled melon seeds to Niu Niu. Niu Niu was chubby and had several teeth in her mouth, so she could eat the melon seeds. However, her chin was covered with saliva, and Tian Sisi's fingertips were all covered in saliva. She took out a floral handkerchief from her bag, wiped her fingers clean, and continued to peel melon seeds. + +The Niu Niu kids ate very quickly, and they kept urging them to eat, Dada (another name for sister, usually given by very young children), and they wanted more."The little guy opened his mouth, and a drop of glistening saliva flowed down his chin. + +"Call me aunt, I am your aunt." Tian Sisi once again corrected the name of Xiao Niu Niu, but Niu Niu still screamed loudly and kept urging."Don't worry, aunt is too late." Tian Sisi wiped the drool on the little guy's chin with a handkerchief and coaxed him with a smile. + +Others were surprised to see that Grandma had really changed her gender. She used to be the most annoying child. She wouldn't even hug Niu Niu, let alone wipe Niu Niu's saliva! Auntie is still like this! Tian Xinhua kept waving his hands in front of Tian Sisi, and asked in a very exaggerated tone: + +"Are you still Tian Zhaodi? Why are you so gentle? Are you pretending to be deceptive on purpose?" + +"My name is Tian Sisi, Tian Xinhua, aren't you smart?" Tian Sisi got angry and yelled at him with her hands on her hips. + +Tian Xinhua was immediately satisfied. She looked like grandma now. The soft voice she spoke just now looked like she was possessed by a ghost (I have to say, Tian Xinhua discovered the truth). He knew that this girl was pretending to be a deceiver. + +The elders all looked at the children making noise with smiles. Tian Qinghua came over with fruit candies in his mouth: "Ana, today's meat buns are so delicious, so much fat, so delicious! How delicious it would be if you could eat meat buns every day!" + +"You're so beautiful. That meat bun is six cents a piece. How much can you buy for six cents? It's good to eat it every day and give you a taste!" Tian Shouhua rolled his eyes at him. Because he studied in a middle school in the town, he knew the prices of things in the town. + +Tian Qinghua exclaimed, "So expensive? You can eat three sesame cakes for six cents. Tsk, tsk, grandma, I'd better not buy meat buns in the future, but buy sesame buns. One meat bun can hold three sesame cakes. I'm satisfied." + +"How can sesame seed cakes be as delicious as meat buns? You're the only one who wants to eat steamed buns and earn money to buy them yourself. How dare you ask grandma to buy them for you?" Tian Xinhua slapped his brother on the head and scolded him. + +Tian Qinghua touched his head and smiled. Aren't she the richest among their cousins? Tian Sisi looked at her cousins with a smile. She thought for a while and whispered to Tian Qinghua and Tian Xinhua: "Brother Shouhua, Brother Xinhua, Brother Qinghua, let's go play in the mountains tomorrow. Maybe we can catch hares and pheasants!" + +If her own life needs to improve, the life of her second grandpa’s family must not be too bad. Tian Sisi thinks about bringing a few cousins with her tomorrow, so that she can help her second grandpa’s family openly. Tian Qinghua shook his head first, "Where are the wild things in the mountains now? If I don’t go, it’s better to stay at home and warm up by the fire in such a cold day." + +Tian Sisi was so angry that she slapped him hard, "There must be some. I had a dream last night. The dream told me that there must be wild animals in the mountains tomorrow. If you don't go, I will go with Donghua and Tsinghua. Then we won't share the meat." + +"Are there really wild animals? Don't lie to me, grandma. Okay, I'll go with you tomorrow. If not, I won't go next time." Tian Qinghua was doubtful, but with the idea of ​​better to make a thousand mistakes than to miss one, he still agreed to go. Tian Sisi patted her chest and assured him that there would be delicious food. + +Tian Xinhua and Tian Shouhua kept laughing on the side. A'nan was really a silly girl. She would believe it even in her dreams. Qinghua was also a fool. Such a child would believe that there were no wild things in the mountains now. However, they laughed and made up their minds to go with them tomorrow to avoid anything happening to their brothers and sisters. + +Niu Niu waited for a long time but didn't see Tian Sisi feeding him melon seeds. He was so anxious that he kept calling to his mother. Tian Jinhua's wife, Zhu Qingping, was cracking the melon seeds non-stop, vomiting all the melon seed peels on the ground. Usually the queen would hide the melon seeds tightly and would only take them out when guests came. She had to take the opportunity to eat more. After a while, Tian Sisi and the others left, but there was nothing to eat. + +Zhu Qingping didn't have time to peel melon seeds for her son. She patted Niu Niu's chubby hand and pointed at Tian Sisi, "Let your aunt peel them for you." + +Tian Sisi, who was joking with Tian Xinhua, was stunned when she heard this, and he co-instructed her to be a nanny! It's nothing at first, but Tian Sisi is just a docile person. What she dislikes the most is when others assign her work. If she wants to work, she will definitely take the initiative without being called out. But if she doesn't want to work, if she just says a few words, she will do it a few times. But if you assign her as a matter of course like Zhu Qingping, that's really embarrassing. She doesn't like to talk to you! ps: Some readers asked Lao Yang to update more, but Lao Yang is really too busy with his work during the day and has to work overtime, so he can only update at night. However, Lao Yang will work hard to code, because Lao Yang himself also likes the feeling of coding. Sometimes he is coding until early in the morning without realizing it, and then he has to force himself to get out of the joy of coding and have to go to work the next day!

But this Zhu Qingping had given birth to the eldest grandson of the fourth generation of the Tian family, and she also thought that Tian Sisi was just a child. As her sister-in-law, she assigned her younger sister to do the work. Naturally, and because Tian Sisi has not behaved as aloof as usual these days, Zhu Qingping's little thoughts started to stir. Therefore, there are always many people in the world who cannot recognize their own identity and think too highly of themselves. Zhu Qingping is such a person. + +When Zhu Qingping saw that Tian Sisi didn't respond, he simply slapped Tian Sisi on the shoulder with his hand and said, "Ana, if the cow wants to eat the melon seeds, you can peel them for him." + +Tian Sisi has a delicate body, while Zhu Qingping has been doing farm work in the fields for many years and has a lot of strength. This shot took six or seven points of force. Tian Sisi was caught off guard and was immediately shot out of the stool by Zhu Qingping., and fell headfirst to the ground. Tian Xinhua next to him was so frightened that he got up and grabbed Tian Sisi, but he didn't have time. Fortunately, Tian Qinghua on the other side squatted down subconsciously, and Tian Sisi bumped into Tian Qinghua. + +"Ouch!" The two of them fell to the ground together. Tian Sisi was dizzy from the fall. Tian Qinghua was fine because of his rough skin and thick flesh. He got up without anyone's help. Tian Xinhua hurriedly helped his cousin up and asked with concern: "Ana, are you okay? Where did you fall?" + +After hearing what her cousin said, Tian Sisi shook her head, but she felt aggrieved inexplicably. Tears welled up in her eyes. The others were also startled. Seeing that Tian Sisi's face was pale and she didn't say a word, Li Yuedi thought she was frightened, so she hurriedly rubbed her forehead with her hands and said, "Don't be afraid, grandma is not afraid!

Although he always ridicules Tian Sisi, he cannot be bullied by others.

For the sake of her grandson and great-grandson, she just slapped her a few words from time to time without any heavy punishment. + +But she didn't expect that she would become so cowardly that she would dare to hit someone?

Halfway there, Tian Sisi thought for a moment and took out three pieces of beef jerky, which were the leftovers she had eaten in the space last night. She stuffed a piece into each person's mouth. Donghua and Qinghua chewed a few mouthfuls, their eyes lit up, and they immediately speeded up, chewed the jerky and swallowed it. + +Tian Xinhua found out that it was dried meat. His third brother (Tian Chaohua) had sent it back before. Third brother was a soldier in Xinjiang and the dried meat was produced there. However, Grandma’s dried meat tasted better. It was probably because the dried meat from his third uncle (Tian Aiguo) had a different taste. Tian Xinhua thought that the dried meat was brought by Tian Aiguo. + +Soon they arrived at the door of Tian's house. Tian Manyin heard the noise and came out to pick him up. Tian Xinhua called "fourth uncle". Tian Manyin asked him to come in and sit for a while. Tian Xinhua refused with a smile. He was not a shy person.

It seemed that the white ape attained enlightenment and became an immortal in Yuequan Mountain. Anyway, later on, Yuequan Village relied on this legend to greatly develop its tourism industry. A White Ape Temple was built on the mountain and the incense was quite prosperous. + +Just now at the second grandpa's house, she casually made up a reason for dreaming. Now that she thought about it, this reason was very good. If she put everything on the white ape, no one would doubt it, but things were completely different from what she expected. + +When Tian Manyin heard what his daughter said, he was so frightened that he immediately closed the courtyard door and pulled the three children into the room. + +"You girl, how can you say such nonsense? What kind of white monkey? You can't say that again in the future." + +What's going on? Shouldn't Tian Manyin bow three times to the sky and thank the gods for their help? Tian Si was confused. + +"What can't you say?" Mrs. Zhao was very surprised after hearing her son's words. + +Tian Manyin repeated what Tian Sisi had just said, which frightened Mrs. Zhao into chanting Buddha twice, "Hey, dear, listen to your father. You can't say these words anymore, otherwise our family will be in trouble." + +Only then did Tian Sisi remember that it was 1972, the era of breaking down the Four Olds and fighting against feudalism. It was also an era when paper money could not be burned even when visiting graves during the Qingming Festival. Like the white monkey's words she just said about dreaming, it would indeed bring trouble in this era. Not to mention anything else, just the big hat of feudal superstition will crush you. + +But this reason can't be wasted. She didn't plan to go out and say it anyway. Tian Sisi pouted and whispered: "But I really dreamed of the white monkey. It asked me to go to the mountain to pick up rabbits tomorrow. It also said that it liked me and would give me many good things in the future!" + +Seeing that his granddaughter was talking seriously, Mr. Tian looked serious. He knew the legend of the White Ape. When he was a child, he often heard the old people in the village say that there was a White Ape Temple on the mountain at that time. There used to be an old monk living in the temple. But since the old monk died, the temple lost its popularity and collapsed before liberation. In addition, now that superstition has been eradicated, there are probably not many young people in the village who know the legend of the White Ape. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/09/eng_cont/i_0020.txt b/09/eng_cont/i_0020.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..8cf5c65010cf6d90ddfb3b04eb18717dee444130 --- /dev/null +++ b/09/eng_cont/i_0020.txt @@ -0,0 +1,61 @@ +Chapter 20 White Ape. + +"What does that white monkey look like? Do you remember it?" the old man asked his granddaughter. + +Tian Sisi didn't know what the white ape looked like, but she had seen the white ape statue in the White Ape Temple in her previous life, so she described it in detail. It had six ears, was as tall as a person, had long white hair, wore long clothes, and had a ring on its head. + +In fact, the white ape statue Tian Sisi saw in her previous life was modeled after the six-eared monkey by local villagers, but she was right. The old man had heard from the village elders that the white ape was also modeled after the six-eared monkey. Now the old man believed it. + +Although the old man is an old revolutionary, he is well-informed and believes in such strange people and strange things. In his opinion, Tian Sisi has never heard of the legend of the white ape, but she can describe the appearance of the white ape clearly, which means that the granddaughter has indeed seen the white ape in her dream. It seems that this granddaughter is indeed extraordinary! + +In fact, Mrs. Zhao and the old man had always said that Tian Sisi brought blessings and they were not just talking casually. When Tian Mantong brought Grandma back, he didn't know what was going on. Grandma kept having nightmares and crying in the middle of the night. They tried many methods to no avail, so they had no choice but to take the child to a very famous old man in a neighboring county. In addition to his excellent medical skills, this old man was also very good at physiognomy. + +The old man looked at A-nan's face, then touched the child's hand, and said to them: "Your adopted granddaughter is a lucky one and prosperous in the family, but she has a calamity when she is ten years old. After she gets through it, the blessings will increase. Your Tian family can be prosperous for at least a hundred years, but if she cannot get through it, her blessings will be gone, and her future destiny will be bad." + +In fact, the calamity the old man mentioned does not refer to the calamity of life and death, but refers to the calamity of the original owner's own good fortune, which has nothing to do with life and death. However, the old man and Mrs. Zhao heard it as a calamity of life and death, so the original owner fell into the ice cave last time and scared them enough. Choking, I was afraid that something might happen to my granddaughter. If the old man and Mrs. Zhao were a little selfish in raising the original owner, they wanted the original owner to be blessed and prosperous in the Tian family. However, as time went by, they became sincerely in love with her, and they had long forgotten what the old gentleman said. + +Later, when they saw that Tian Sisi recovered from her illness, they were really happy. Now that Tian Sisi mentioned the white monkey, the old man remembered what the old gentleman said back then. Could it be...? Thinking of this, the old man got excited. What an honor it is to be able to make the family prosperous for a hundred years! + +The old man asked: "Never say such words again, grandma, not even to your second grandfather's family. Do you understand?" + +Tian Sisi nodded, "I'll tell my family." + +"In addition to your grandparents and your parents, don't even talk to your third uncle. You must remember that tomorrow grandpa will go up the mountain with you to pick up rabbits." The old man really loves Tian Sisi and doesn't want his granddaughter to be harmed. + +"Okay, let's pick up rabbits together, pick up more, and eat meat every day from now on." Tian Sisi was eager for the old man to accompany her. As long as the old man believed in his white ape dream, it would not be easy to get anything in the future. + +The old man also told Donghua and Tsinghua not to tell anyone what happened tonight, otherwise there would be no meat to eat in the future. The two little guys nodded vigorously, so they would not talk nonsense! The old man was then satisfied and waved to the three children to wash their faces and feet and go to sleep. + +Donghua thought for a while, then leaned into the ear of Mrs. Zhao and told her what happened to Zhu Qingping. The more Mrs. Zhao heard about it, the darker her face became. This Jinhua daughter-in-law is so shameless. A-nan is so good, how could she do something like this? I have to assign Grandma to do even peeling melon seeds. She is really too lazy. No, I will give her a good treatment when I get a chance in the future and let her understand the rules of the Tian family. + +Mrs. Zhao took advantage of the time she was washing Tian Sisi's face to push up her left sleeve. As expected, there was a light green mark on her arm. In fact, this was mainly because Tian Sisi's skin was too tender and would leave traces with just a little force. However, in the eyes of the old man and Tian Manyin, they didn't think so. In their opinion, how hard should the person be beaten? + +When Tian Sisi saw Mrs. Zhao's face, she knew something was wrong and hurriedly said, "Mother, I don't feel any pain at all. Don't be angry." + +Mrs. Zhao went back to the room with a sullen face to get the medicated oil, and rubbed Tian Sisi's eyes hard to loosen the congestion. The pain caused Tian Sisi to shed tears. This was much more painful than Zhu Qingping's beating just now. Mrs. Zhao rubbed it for a while before stopping. Seeing Tian Sisi's tearful look, she couldn't help but smile. She was such a sweet baby who couldn't help but feel pain. + +After the three children went to bed, Mrs. Zhao told her what Donghua had said again. After hearing this, Tian Manyin was so angry that her eyebrows stood up. She wished she could go to her second uncle's house and scold her nephew-in-law. He had not been able to lift a finger since he was a child. She was so bold that she hit her so hard that she was bruised. It was so unreasonable! + +Zhu Aiqing was even more uncomfortable. This niece-in-law was from the same village as her. She usually took good care of Zhu Qingping for the sake of her own clan, but she didn't expect that she would take care of a wolf who dared to beat her daughter. That's all, and she would not care about her in the future. + +The old man was also uncomfortable and frowned. Although Zhu Qingping was considered his granddaughter-in-law, she was still one level away and he couldn't control her. He had to tell Bajin tomorrow that this man had to run the family. The younger generation in the family was not sensible, and he, as the elder, had to teach her more. + +Zhu Qingping never imagined what kind of loss her slap would bring to her? At this moment, she was receiving the most severe punishment since she married into the Tian family. + +After Li Yuedi waited for Tian Sisi and others to leave, she sent the younger ones to bed. Zhu Qingping also wanted to hold Niu Niuliu, but Li Yuedi specifically stopped her and asked her eldest daughter-in-law Ma Zhaodi to take her grandson to bed. Zhu Qingping knew something was wrong, so she had to stay obediently. Li Yuedi stared at her coldly, making Zhu Qingping lower his head lower and lower. + +"Daughter-in-law of Jinhua, are you getting more and more arrogant now? Niu Niu wants to eat melon seeds, so you are better off. You keep eating them yourself, and assign grandma to work. In the end, you even beat someone. What qualifications do you have to beat grandma? Do you think you gave birth to our Tian family? The fourth-generation grandson is amazing. Let me tell you, Zhu Qingping, our Tian family does not have such rules. It is your job to have children. If you want to show off, then go back to your Zhu family as soon as possible. Our Tian family cannot afford a wife like you." + +Li Yuedi got into a fight and scolded Zhu Qingping bloody. Tian Bajin yelled at Tian Jinhua: "Are you still a man? You can't even control the women in the house? Do you feel better if a woman rides on your neck and poops?" + +Tian Jinhua's temperament is a bit like that of his mother Ma Zhaodi, who is relatively gentle. It is precisely because of this that Zhu Qingping becomes more and more powerful. Now that he is being scolded by his grandfather, he really hates Zhu Qingping. But he is used to a weak position and cannot stand up for a while. Tian Bajin is very disappointed. This grandson is really too doughy. + +Tian Mantu and Tian Manmu were also very angry with their son (nephew). Tian Mantu simply slapped Tian Jinhua on the head, "Why did I give birth to such a useless son like you? If I had known you were so mean, I should have thrown you into the toilet." + +After all, Li Yuedi still felt sorry for her grandson, the so-called youngest son and eldest grandson. Although she was also angry with Tian Jinhua for not living up to expectations, she still felt sorry for him, the eldest grandson she had brought up. She stopped Tian Mantu from slapping him, "Okay, don't hit Jinhua. Jinhua is also a grown-up father. Don't beat him like you did when you were a child." + +Tian Mantu still listened to his mother's words, so he put away his slap. Tian Bajin looked at Zhu Qingping's expression and saw that there was only hatred on her face and no intention of admitting her mistake at all. He shook his head, alas, he did something wrong! + +When he first proposed marriage to Jinhua, he thought that Jinhua, as the grandson of Tian's eldest son, would be able to establish a family, and Jinhua's temperament was stubborn, so he thought about finding a strong wife for Jinhua who could help Jinhua build up his family. Now it seems that Zhu Qingping is strong, but not in a good way! Not to mention supporting the family, I'm afraid it might bring trouble to the family. Tian Bajin regretted it to death. + +"Jinhua daughter-in-law, please pack your clothes and go back to your parents' home early tomorrow morning. Let your parents teach you the rules of being a daughter-in-law. Let us know when you have learned it." After Tian Bajin finished speaking, he got up and went back to his room to sleep. ps: Thank you for your support, Lao Yang would like to bow his thanks!

The Tian family had good food and good housing, and her grandparents, parents-in-law, and uncle were very kind, and her great-grandfather's family was such a glorious relative. She was the first to get married wherever she went. Which of her former sisters didn't envy her for marrying well? + +Even her own parents and brothers were very polite to her and did not dare to speak loudly. They were not like the scoldings she often got when she was a child. This was not because of the generous gift she brought home every year. If she suddenly went back to live with her parents, it would be for the disgraceful reason of learning the rules. Not to mention the spitting stars of the villagers, her own parents and brothers would have scolded her to death. + +No, I can't go back to my parents' home. There will be no good things to eat when I go back. Zhu Qingping fell to his knees on the ground and kept kowtowing, "Grandpa, please don't let me go back to my parents' home. I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have beaten my grandmother. I will go and apologize to my grandmother tomorrow. Grandpa, please, don't send me away. Mother, father, mother, second uncle, second aunt, Jinhua, please put in a good word for me, I really know I was wrong!" + +Zhu Qingping cried miserably, and his voice became louder and louder. Li Yuedi shouted angrily: "You think our family is not embarrassed enough, right? You could just go outside and cry, attracting everyone from the farm, that would look good!" + +Li Yuedi was the most honorable person, and she could do anything so that no one could fault her. Although she had a cheerful temperament, she and Tian Bajin had never blushed for decades. Even when they were teaching their children, they closed the doors and windows and dealt with them severely. But one thing was that the children could not cry. The louder they cried, the harder they were beaten. Therefore, the children of Tian Bajin's family, including Tian Mantu, all knew that Li Yuedi could only grit his teeth and resist without making a sound when he started to attack. + +Zhu Qingping did not dare to cry loudly after being yelled by Li Yuedi, so he could only sob quietly. He looked so pitiful. On the second floor, Tian Qinghua, Tian Xinhua, and Tian Shouhua huddled at the entrance of the stairs. They hid here and took a peek as soon as they went upstairs. They didn't like Zhu Qingping, the sister-in-law. + +Children have a comparison mentality, especially children of their age. Every time they get together with their friends, everyone will talk about their family members. A cousin like Tian Sisi makes their faces shine. As soon as they mention that "Miss Shanghai" is their cousin, their friends will look at them with envy and jealousy, which makes them extremely proud. + +But Zhu Qingping, the sister-in-law, is not good at all. She is not good-looking at all, and she has no cultivation at all. She is not as gentle, considerate and capable as other people's sisters-in-law. Zhu Qingping not only grabs delicious food, but also always assigns them to do work. Tian Xinhua and the other three have long been filled with anger, but they are juniors, even if they are angry, they can't fight against Zhu Qingping, so they are very excited at this moment. Grandpa and the wife have finally taken action. + +"Look at it now, my sister-in-law is quite pitiful." Tian Qinghua softened his heart when he saw Zhu Qingping crying miserably below. + +"Why are you so shaky in your stance? If it had been before, you would have been Fuzhigao." Tian Xinhua was so angry at his younger brother that Qinghua was usually assigned the most work and complained the most. But now he actually sympathized with the enemy, which really pissed him off. + +Tian Shouhua whispered in Tian Qinghua's ear: "Put away your cheap sympathy, and don't be that stupid farmer." + +Tian Shouhua is already a high school student, and he also reads miscellaneous books after class. Therefore, he considers himself to be half an intellectual, so he always likes to use some very literary sentences when speaking to show that he is different. However, his current words are obviously talking to a cow. Tian Qinghua touched his ears, smiled at Tian Shouhua, turned to Tian Xinhua and said: + +"Fifth brother, fourth brother, why do you always say things that people don't understand, and you don't feel tired?" + +Tian Xinhua burst into laughter. The fourth brother is so coquettish, he shows off all day long, for fear that others will not know that he is in high school, hum! Didn’t you just go to high school? What's so great, he can go to high school in the town in two years. + +Tian Shouhua was so angry with them, but his mental adjustment ability was not bad, and he soon became happy again. He said that he did not agree with each other. It is no wonder that a primary school student or a junior high school student could not understand his profound remarks. Alas, he should teach these two younger brothers more when he has time in the future. ** His elders have said that we should make progress together. + +Looking at his wife who was crying pitifully, Tian Jinhua showed intolerance. He was a gentle and soft-hearted person. Although Zhu Qingping liked to yell at him, he was still very good to him in life, and he also gave birth to a big fat boy. As the saying goes, a couple's love lasts for a hundred days, let alone a couple who have been married for four years. He also knows the virtues of his wife's family. If his wife goes back this time, she is afraid that half of her life will be ruined by her father-in-law and mother-in-law's brother-in-law. + +Tian Jinhua looked at Li Yuedi and wanted to plead for his wife, but this time the decision to let Zhu Qingping return to her parents' home was made by Tian Bajing. Although Li Yuedi usually made the decision on family affairs, if Tian Bajing intervened, then Tian Bajing would have to listen to Tian Bajing, and no one could change it. This was Tian Bajing's authority as the head of the family. + +Tian Bajin sat down when Zhu Qingping knelt on the ground. In fact, he also knew that this grandson's daughter-in-law would have to die half her life when she returned to her parents' home. He was also very angry just now. When he saw his eldest grandson pleading to the old woman, he snorted coldly. + +Zhu Qingping, who was on the ground, begged for a long time and saw no one interceding for her. A look of despair appeared on her face. Was she really going to be sent back to her parents' home? She is really blinded by lard, and her brain is flooded. She is living a good life, why should she be jealous of grandma? What does her life have to do with whether someone is doing well or not? Why is she so dissatisfied? + +If you have enough to eat every day and can still eat meat for a month, what else is there to be dissatisfied about? And the work I do is half less than when I was a girl. Where can I find such a good life? Zhu Qingping was unwilling to give up. She knelt down in front of Tian Jinhua and begged: "Jinhua, please, please ask grandpa not to send me back. I will definitely change in the future. I will definitely change for the better. Please, I will die if I go back!" + +Ma Zhaodi couldn't bear it and wanted to plead, but Tian Manmu's wife Jin Wanming stopped her and shook her head slightly to signal her not to speak. Ma Zhaodi was a woman with no independent opinions and never made an idea on her own. Fortunately, there were two capable women at home, Li Yuedi and Jin Wanming, and her doughty personality was not that important. Seeing her sister-in-law stop her, Ma Zhaodi shut up. + +Tian Jinhua looked at his heartbroken wife and felt really unbearable. He looked around and saw that no one said anything. His grandfather and his father's second uncle both looked at him coldly. Tian Jinhua gritted his teeth and mustered up the courage to plead to Tian Bajin: "Grandpa, let Qingping stay. She knows she was wrong." + +"Can you guarantee that she won't make mistakes in the future?" Tian Bajin asked. + +In fact, he has the intention of testing his grandson today. Zhu Qingping is hateful, but no matter how hateful she is, she is Tian Jinhua's wife. If Tian Jinhua has no independent opinion and lets him do what a grandfather does to his wife, it means that Tian Jinhua is a helpless person. Adou got up. He dared not to leave this family to Jinhua in the future. He didn't want the family business he had finally created to be lost in Jinhua's hands. Now that Tian Jinhua was finally forced to speak, Tian Bajin breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he hadn't faced the end yet. + +"I won't do it, grandpa. I will definitely be the wife of the Tian family from now on." Zhu Qingping promised hurriedly. + +Tian Bajin ignored her and just looked at Tian Jinhua, forcing him to express his position.

The two slaps just now did not resent her husband at all, but made her feel that Tian Jinhua at that moment was full of masculinity. In the past, she always disliked Jinhua for being too arrogant, but now it seems that Jinhua is not being arrogant and is letting her do it! From now on, she will definitely live a good life with Jinhua and serve him well. + +Since then, Zhu Qingping has really improved a lot. Although she still has some minor ailments, her attitude towards Tian Jinhua has changed drastically. She no longer shouts and yells as often as before, which surprised Tian Sisi and others. Tian Jinhua did not expect that his two slaps would have such a big effect. If he had known earlier, he would still have to wait until now? + +Little did Tian Sisi know that her fall would trigger a family change in Tian Bajin's family. She is still busy in space at the moment! She had to prepare some wild animals such as hares and pheasants, as well as some eggs and fruits. For the time being, she would get some simple things. After a long time, she would slowly get out the grain, oil and other food. Then she would put it all on the white ape. She thought there should be no big problem. + +In fact, Tian Sisi thought things too simply. This was also her luck. Mr. Tian wiped her tail clean for her, and Mrs. Zhao, Tian Mantong and Zhu Aiqing really loved her. This gave Tian Sisi no worries. Otherwise, Tian Sisi might have been hurt by anyone else. + +Last time Tian Sisi only climbed to the bottom of the mountain and went out. This time she planned to climb to the top of the mountain to have a look. Although the snakes still made her legs weak, Tian Sisi still had the courage to walk up. Along the way, Tian Sisi saw a lot of wild vegetables and herbs. Those herbs were what she saw in the illustrations in the drawer notes, and they were all medicinal materials used to brew medicinal wine. + +There was actually a tiger on the mountain. When Tian Sisi saw the big and colorful tiger, she almost fainted from fright. Fortunately, she remembered in time that the animals in the space would not attack the owner, so she cautiously walked around the tiger and continued walking up. The mountain was not too high, a little higher than Yuequan Mountain. Tian Sisi climbed to the top of the mountain panting, and when she looked down, she found that there was white mist on the other side of the mountain, and she could not see anything. + +It was probably a barrier in space. Tian Sisi didn't think much about it. She rested at the top of the mountain for a while and then went down the mountain. On the way down, she caught five or six fat hares and used a cane to string the rabbits together. The animals in the space were easy to catch, just standing there. Not moving at the same spot, Tian Sisi thought for a while and caught two more pheasants. In addition, she also found roe deer, deer, wild boar and other animals, all standing there stupidly waiting for her to catch, but Tian Sisi didn't catch them. She thought of getting some small wild animals out first, and then get bigger ones later. + +After getting the things ready, Tian Si thought about his plan to make money and didn't know what to do? If you want to make money, you must sell things. Since you know you can't sell them, then sell them secretly. My uncle bought many things from the black market, but at her age, the old man and Mrs. Zhao will never agree to let her go out to sell things. + +She can't, but her uncle can. Tian Sisi's eyes lit up. As long as she gives the things to her uncle, he will definitely help her sell them. Then she can share the money with her uncle. But what should she sell? Things in the mall are absolutely not allowed to be sold, so you have to make them yourself. + +Tian Sisi's first thought was to make wine. This was the only thing she could do. Although she didn't know how to make wine, there were still recipes and materials. After a few more attempts, she would be able to brew it. Besides, it wasn't too difficult to make according to the notes. It shouldn't be too difficult to make. Tian Sisi was extremely confident in this. + +Just do it. Tian Sisi took out ten kilograms of glutinous rice from the shopping mall. The glutinous rice produced in the space has not been shelled yet and cannot be used. Although the quality of the glutinous rice in the shopping mall is a bit poor, it is just right for experiments. Tian Sisi took out his notes and prepared to brew the simplest glutinous rice wine. Following the steps recorded in the notes, Tian Sisi washed the glutinous rice and soaked it in water for a long time before rinsing it clean. + +There is a brewing workshop in the space itself, with all the utensils and a large firewood stove, which burns the wheat straw and rice straw outside. The remaining plant ash can also be used to fertilize the fields. Tian Sisi came back from outside with a few large bundles of wheat straw, lit the fire, and began to steam glutinous rice. + +She first put water in the steamer, put a layer of gauze on the steamer, boiled the water until there was steam, and then steamed the soaked glutinous rice on the cloth. Tian Sisi steamed it for half an hour according to the notes, which was an hour. After an hour, she tasted the rice. It was good, with the right amount of softness and hardness, so good for drinking. + +Tian Sisi poured the steamed rice into a wine jar. According to her notes, one koji fruit was used for ten kilograms of rice. After Tian Sisi waited for the glutinous rice to cool down, she crushed the koji fruit and found light red pulp inside. She poured the pulp into the glutinous rice and used dryAfter stirring evenly with a clean spoon, compact the glutinous rice, dig a hole in the middle, and leave the wine to come out. Then cover it with a lid and seal it well. In this way, you have done the preliminary work. After two or three days, the wine will come out. The longer the time, the stronger the flavor of the wine will be. + +Tian Sisi clapped her hands and rubbed her waist. She was still too small. She was so tired after doing some work. She should exercise more in the future. She looked at the wine vat on the ground with satisfaction. If she succeeded this time, she could make wine outside. Grain winemaking is too eye-catching, so she would make fruit wine. There are many wild fruits on the mountain. When they are done, she can let her uncle sell them. Then she can buy a camera. Hehe, the future is bright! + +Satisfied, Tian Sisi took a shower and went to sleep. She had no dreams all night. After Mrs. Zhao cooked breakfast in the morning, she went upstairs to call her granddaughter. Seeing that Tian Sisi was sleeping like a little pig, she couldn't bear to wake her up, so she turned around and went out. + +When the old man outside saw his wife coming out alone, he smiled and asked, "Isn't grandma awake yet?" + +"Well, she slept like a little pig, so I didn't wake her up. I'll leave some breakfast for Grandma to heat up later. It'll be delicious when she wakes up." + +Zhu Aiqing didn't say anything after hearing this. Anyway, no one in the family supported what she said. The village had to go to work today, and it was almost time to wake up. The plan for the year was spring. These days were crucial, related to the villagers' rations this year.

He would be so embarrassed that he had to go to his grandma's house. Mrs. Zhao smiled and put the chopsticks and bowl into their hands, "Eat quickly, why are you so polite at the eldest lady's house? You are all growing taller. How can you grow taller if you don't eat enough?" + +Speaking of which, you don't have to be too polite when you go to your great-grandfather's house. Thinking of this, Tian Xinhua and Tian Shouhua stopped being pretentious. They took the bowls and chopsticks and started eating with big mouthfuls. Although they had eaten breakfast at home, they could eatWhat was served was sweet potato porridge and pickles. Tian Xinhua ate two large bowls and was just full of water.

It didn't mean that life in the new society would get better and better, but why it became like this now. She couldn't even eat enough to eat. She felt really bad when she saw these children who couldn't eat enough and were as thin as bamboo poles. However, her and the old man's abilities were limited and they could only help the children at home as much as possible. Like other families in the village, she was also powerless! + +Tian Xinhua and the others were almost full after eating a bowl of rice because they had the sweet potato porridge at home. They consciously took the bowls and chopsticks to the kitchen. When the rice was finished and Tian Sisi didn't come down, Tian Xinhua knew that this girl was sleeping in again. He smiled and said to Mrs. Zhao, "I'll wake up Grandma." + +After saying that, he went upstairs and came to Tian Sisi's room. This girl's face was red from sleeping, and she couldn't help but laugh. She knows how to lie to others. Yesterday, she vowed to go to the mountain to pick up hares, and she deceived them all, but she was sleeping on the bed! + +Tian Xinhua pinched Tian Sisi's nose. Tian Sisi snorted a few times and slapped it on Tian Xinhua's hand. She turned over and went back to sleep. Tian Xinhua was not discouraged and continued to pinch, finally waking up Tian Sisi. She opened her eyes with hatred, "Who the bastard is bothering me?" + +"Lazy pig, the sun is shining on your butt. If you don't get up, you will have to go to the mountain to collect firewood." + +Yes, I agreed to pick up hares. Tian Sisi sat up quickly, took the clothes on the bedside and put them on. When she was halfway through wearing them, she remembered that there was Tian Xinhua in the room. She hurriedly shrank into the bed and yelled at Tian Xinhua: "Why are you still here? I'm changing clothes! Do you know that there are differences between men and women?" + +"Oh, you know how to use idioms. How old are you? Just thinking about the difference between men and women, huh, little yellow-haired girl, what's so interesting about it." Tian Xinhua rolled his eyes, but still walked out. + +Tian Sisi then remembered that this body was just that of an eight-year-old kid. She shook her head and smiled. Instead of wearing the ski shirt, she went to find an old floral cotton-padded jacket in the box. She was going to the mountains later, so be sure not to tear the ski shirt. This was my uncle's wish and couldn't be treated casually. + +The clothes were put on, but her hair was not tied up. She took out a cookie box from the drawer with a pattern of Chang'e flying to the moon. The box was heart-shaped and all the cookies inside had been eaten. The box was used by the original owner to store hair accessories such as hair flowers. Tian Sisi opened the lid of the box and found most of the box of colorful hair flowers inside. She glanced at the pink floral cotton-padded jacket she was wearing and picked out two pink silk flowers. + +Tian Sisi took the wooden comb and silk flowers and went downstairs. When she saw Mrs. Zhao, she acted coquettishly and said, "Mother, I don't know how to tie my hair. Please help me tie it." + +Mrs. Zhao hurriedly wiped her hands on her apron and happily tied up her granddaughter's hair. While tying it back, she asked, "What do you want to eat? I will make it for you." + +"I want to eat egg fried rice with some pickles." + +"Okay, I'll fry it for you after combing your hair." Mrs. Zhao was quick with her hands and feet, and the two braids were quickly tied. Only when she tied her hair again did she realize that the color had changed, "Grandma, why don't you wear the red hairpin your uncle bought?" + +"I want to match the color with my clothes. The one my uncle bought is bright red and it doesn't match the clothes I'm wearing today." + +Only then did everyone notice that Tian Sisi was wearing a floral cotton-padded jacket. This cotton-padded jacket was made by Zhu Aiqing. At that time, Tian Sisi didn't like it because it didn't look good, so she put it in the box after only wearing it a few times. Unexpectedly, she actually wore it today. Seeing everyone's surprised looks, Tian Sisi had to explain: + +"Aren't we going to the mountains today? I'm afraid that my new clothes will be torn." + +The sun was really out in the west. When would grandma think about whether she would ruin her clothes? After a new year, she was really sensible. She was so happy that Mrs. Zhao kissed Tian Sisi hard on the face and went to make scrambled eggs and fried rice for her granddaughter. Tian Sisi wiped the saliva from her face and shouted to Mrs. Zhao: "Mother, please eat less." + +Tian Sisi ran to wash her face, brush her teeth, and apply facial cream. She used the Ya cream she bought last time. In fact, she also used Ya cream in her previous life. She felt that it had a good moisturizing effect on the skin, so she didn't take out some high-end skin care products from the mall to use. The main reason was that she couldn't explain it. Moreover, she was just a child now, and her skin was already delicate, so it was better to use soft Ya cream. + +Then they applied clam oil to their hands. Tian Xinhua and the others next to them looked at the series of actions of their cousin. They were dumbfounded. Why is it so troublesome to wash your face and rub so many things on your body? Alas, A-nan loves to do it. What they don't know is that Tian Sisi's dress up is the most time-saving. It will become more and more troublesome for women in the future. If she doesn't do it for half an hour, she will never go out. + +When Tian Sisi finished eating, it was almost nine o'clock. The old man took out a big bamboo basket and put in a hatchet, a kettle, a hemp rope and other things. Tian Shouhua hurriedly took it and carried it on his back. He and Tian Xinhua saw that the grandfather followed them and looked at each other. Although they felt strange, they didn't ask any more questions. + +Tian Sisi also carried a small bamboo basket, which was taken away by Tian Xinhua, and a few people set off towards the mountain in a mighty manner. The Tian family was at the foot of Yuequan Mountain, so it only took about ten minutes to get to the foot of the mountain. Because villagers often came to the mountain to cut firewood, there was a road leading directly to the top of the mountain. Although it was a bit steep, it was still walkable. + +At this time, the mountain was a bit deserted. Except for some evergreen trees, the other trees were all bare, with a few dead leaves on their heads. It was very desolate. Tian Sisi walked and thought, thinking about finding an opportunity to release the things in the space. However, the old man and Tian Xinhua insisted that she and Donghua Tsinghua be in the middle. There were people in front and behind, so she had no chance to take things. + +When they climbed halfway up the mountain, the old man saw that his granddaughter was out of breath, so he asked everyone to take a rest. He took out the water bottle and let several children drink water. Tian Qinghua saw that he had not seen a hare after climbing for a long time, so he asked Tian Sisi: "Anan, didn't you say that a hare was picked up? Why not yet?" + +"Why are you so anxious? We have just gone up the mountain, anyway." Tian Sisi was also anxious. There were so many people staring at her and she couldn't get anything. She thought about it and told the old man that she had to go to relieve herself. The old man originally wanted Tian Xinhua to accompany her, but Tian Sisi refused. There were people following her, so how could she put her things away? + +Tian Sisi walked to a place with lots of grass and took out a dozen eggs from the space. The ones she took were grass eggs, which were a little small and about the same size as wild eggs. Then she shouted loudly, "Grandpa, come and look, there are eggs here." + +The old man and the others heard the sound and walked over, and sure enough they saw a handful of eggs in the grass. "Ah, you are really lucky. Instead of picking up the hare, you picked up wild eggs. Yes, the trip was not in vain. The wild eggs are delicious when fried." + +Tian Qinghua smacked his mouth and remembered the fried wild eggs with chives that he had eaten before. It tasted so delicious! Tian Xinhua and the others were also very happy. A dozen or so wild eggs were quite a lot, enough to stir-fry a large bowl of vegetables. Tian Xinhua picked up the eggs one by one from the grass and carefully put them into the basket. He also put a few handfuls of hay on them to avoid breaking the eggs. ps: I'm really sorry today.

It seemed Anan hadn't told the truth last night; she had a secret. + +No matter how clever the old man was, he wouldn't have suspected that Tian Sisi possessed a spatial dimension. He did think Tian Sisi's story about the white ape appearing in her dream was true. That white ape must have come earlier, but it probably didn't want to see them mortals, so it gave Anan these eggs while she was alone.

Although it was somewhat absurd, it saved her a lot of trouble. Afterwards, the old man intentionally or unintentionally sent Tian Xinhua and the others to chop some firewood here or cut some grass there, creating many opportunities for Tian Sisi. + +Tian Sisi was so happy that she would release a rabbit here or a pheasant there. The rabbits and pheasants were all plump and strong, and they were still lively and jumping around. Tian Xinhua and the others were delighted to put the prey into their baskets one by one. There were five rabbits, two pheasants, and a nest of wild eggs. The old man looked at his granddaughter, who was a little carried away. "Sigh, she really is a child. She doesn't know how to restrain herself. She made the White Ape carry so much stuff all at once." + +The old man coughed loudly a few times, looking at Tian Sisi with a meaningful gaze, and said, "We should go home.

She would have to be more careful in the future. + +The old man found it amusing. Anan's behavior just now was hilarious, like a little fox. It seemed Anan really did have a secret. He would have to have a good talk with her tonight. If there was anything, he could help cover it up. Otherwise, relying on this little girl, she would inevitably slip up sooner or later. Hmph, little girl, still too green! + +Tian Qinghua picked up a rabbit and weighed it in his hand, his eyes narrowing into slits with delight. "Anan, your dream is really accurate! We really did find wild rabbits and pheasants. Anan, have that dream again tonight, let's see what we find tomorrow!" + +"You think this kind of good fortune happens every day? Today we were just lucky, what does it have to do with Anan? Stop thinking about free lunches all the time, work hard instead." Tian Xinhua slapped his younger brother hard on the head. + +Actually, he also had a feeling that today's events were related to Anan. Although he was young, he knew that if outsiders knew about Anan's dream, she would definitely be in trouble. So he subconsciously tried to distance Anan from the matter. + +"Keep your mouth shut, don't go around talking nonsense. If I find out you've been talking out of turn, you won't even get meat soup anymore." Tian Xinhua was worried and threatened his younger brother with a stern face. + +Tian Qinghua felt quite wronged. He wouldn't go around telling everyone. What if others found out and came to the mountain to collect rabbits? If they collected all the rabbits, he wouldn't have any meat to eat. He wasn't that stupid. Tian Shouhua, of course, also sensed something was wrong. He thought further ahead and figured that the rabbits must have been brought by the old man. No wonder his great-grandfather insisted on coming along today! + +In the eyes of the Tian family children, the old man was a mythical figure, omnipotent. So, getting a few fat rabbits during the winter famine was a simple matter for him. However, it was indeed best not to let others know about this. So, he also threatened Tian Qinghua a bit, and only after receiving repeated assurances from Tian Qinghua were he and Tian Xinhua satisfied. + +The old man looked at his three grandnephews and nodded with satisfaction. Of the younger generation in his brother Tian Bajin's family, + +apart from the eldest, Tian Jinhua, whom he didn't like—he didn't resemble a man of the Tian family in any way—the others were all quite good. Guanghua and Chaohua in the army were doing well; they were bold and meticulous, and their futures were definitely bright. The younger ones were also doing well. Shouhua, although a bit bookish, wasn't the bookworm type; he was also very adept at interpersonal relationships, so there was little to worry about. Qinghua was still a bit young, and his temperament and personality hadn't fully developed yet, but judging from his current cleverness, he probably wouldn't go astray. Actually, of all his grandchildren, he admired Xinhua the most. Although he was delicate-looking, he wasn't effeminate at all. Despite his young age, he was capable of handling all kinds of rural work, was easygoing, flexible, and quick-witted. It was just that he wasn't very good at studying, but as the old saying goes, "A scholar's rebellion won't last three years," which shows that too much studying isn't necessarily a good thing. + +What the old man liked most about Xinhua was his way of making friends. He had seen Xinhua secretly meeting with Zhong Yubai's two sons several times. In those days, no one dared to associate with the sons of landlords. The old man did not object to this at all. He admired Zhong Yubai very much. He was not the kind of person who was rich but heartless. Moreover, he was very loyal and righteous. His two sons were also good young men, smart and capable. + +The old man had no class prejudices; in his mind, there were only two kinds of people: good and evil. He would kill any evil person like the Japanese on sight, but why should his own compatriots be fighting to the death? Landlords weren't all bad people either. He used to work for Zhong Yubai's family when Zhong Yubai's grandfather was in charge. He was very kind to the farmhands, working alongside them and eating the same food. During busy farming seasons, he would even have the kitchen cook large pots of meat. He genuinely thought the landlords back then were quite nice; they all saved money and built their fortunes little by little. He really didn't understand why they wanted to overthrow the landlords now. + +Unable to bear this atmosphere of "you kill me, I kill you," the old man sadly submitted his application to retire. Although there were various movements in Yuequan Village, because the emperor was far away and the villagers were mostly simple and honest, they wouldn't be so vicious as to think about killing anyone. Therefore, the old man felt very satisfied with this kind of rural life. + +It was precisely for this reason that the old man didn't object to Tian Xinhua's association with the Zhong family's son. On the contrary, he would secretly cover for these children. In the old man's view, the dark clouds couldn't stay over forever; this movement would eventually end, and who would be in a higher position then was still unknown! Forgive and forget, consider it a good deed. + +It must be said that the old man, having lived for more than half a century, truly understood life. In another four years, this momentous movement would end, and the spring breeze of reform and opening up would quickly sweep across the country, especially in Suicheng, a coastal city, where the economy developed particularly rapidly. And Zhong Yubai's two sons did indeed become very successful people later on—but that's another story, to be told later. + +The old man was already calling everyone home. Tian Xinhua cut several bundles of dry grass and covered the rabbits and pheasants in the baskets to prevent anyone from seeing them. Many people in the village were envious; with the great-grandfather's family living such a high standard, many had already spoken ill of them behind their backs. However, because the great-grandfather's background was so powerful, they only dared to gossip behind his back. + +"Great-grandfather, this much meat is enough for several meals! It's wonderful! If every day were like today, we could eat meat every day!" Tian Qinghua thought happily. + +The old man felt a pang of sadness. Although he tried his best to take care of his younger brother's family, he couldn't let the children eat meat every day. Fortunately, there was the blessed A-Nan. At this moment, the old man was incredibly grateful that he had decided to keep A-Nan. + +"When we get back, I'll have your great-aunt make braised rabbit. We'll have lunch at your great-grandfather's house. We'll eat one first, and then tonight we'll invite your grandfather, father, and uncle over so we can eat our fill." The old man patted his little nephew Yuanyuan's head and said with a smile, making Tian Qinghua jump three feet high with joy, startling a flock of sparrows in the woods, which scattered in all directions.

At this time, everyone in the village was working, and there was no one at the foot of the mountain. They didn't have to worry about being seen. A few people entered the yard, and Mrs. Zhao was drying the quilt outside, beating with a wooden stick. + +Seeing Tian Sisi lying on Tian Xinhua's back, she smiled and said, "Are my legs sore?

Mrs. Zhao looked at her husband in surprise, saw him nodding slightly, and happily kissed Tian Sisi again and again on the face. Tian Shouhua entered the house first with a big basket on his back. Tian Xinhua looked around carefully to see if there was anyone, and closed the doors and windows.

She lifted the lid of the rice jar and muttered to herself in confusion, "Huh, I clearly remember there was only half a jar of rice left yesterday. How come there's still half a jar left after cooking two meals last night and this morning?" + +"Perhaps you're mistaken?" Grandpa Zhao chuckled inwardly. He definitely had to tell his wife about A-Nan's matter; she was the head of the household, and nothing escaped her eyes. Grandma Zhao didn't think much of it either; she probably really was mistaken. Her memory was getting worse with age, she couldn't help but sigh. + +But when she went to the stove to cook, she realized it wasn't that she had a bad memory; something was definitely wrong. She clearly remembered that the oil in the oil bottle was at the spout that morning, so why was the oil level higher after cooking? Something was wrong. Thinking about how her husband, who never went into the kitchen, had come in earlier, Zhao's first thought was that he had secretly put rice and oil in there. But she quickly dismissed that idea. She controlled the family finances; where would her husband get the money to buy rice and oil? + +Zhao didn't bother thinking about it anymore. She would just ask her husband that evening. She never liked to rack her brains; she would just ask directly. Guessing was too much of a mental drain. That's why she got along very well with the equally straightforward Li Yuedi. Li Yuedi brought in freshly picked vegetables from the garden, and Zhao gave her sister-in-law the chance to cook. + +Li Yuedi readily accepted the ladle, and the two sisters-in-law worked together seamlessly, one tending the fire and the other stir-frying. Because there was a lot of food, Old Lady Zhao used both cooking pots on the stove – one for rice and the other for stir-frying. She even lit a small stove to simmer pheasant soup. + +Tian Sisi, having nothing to do, played with Xiao Niu Niu and peeled peanuts for him. Tian Xinhua and the others, unable to sit still, saw there was nothing to help in the kitchen and went up the mountain to gather firewood. Soon, the young men each carried a large bundle of firewood home. + +Before noon, Tian Bajin and the others finished work, fetched hot water from the kitchen, washed their faces and hands, and went into the room. As soon as they entered, they smelled the aroma of meat, making everyone's stomachs rumble after a long day's work. Zhu Qingping felt a little embarrassed and stood at the door, hesitant to come in. Tian Jinhua pulled her inside, reminding her that they had agreed last night to apologize to A'nan today. + +When Tian Sisi saw Zhu Qingping, she greeted her generously as "Sister-in-law." In her opinion, what happened last night was no big deal, and besides, Zhu Qingping hadn't meant any harm. Hearing Tian Sisi's greeting made Zhu Qingping even more embarrassed. She blushed and stammered, "Anan, I'm so sorry about last night. Please don't blame me." + +"What are you saying, Sister-in-law? Nothing happened last night! Go take Niuniu to eat; there'll be good food for lunch!" Tian Sisi replied with a smile. Although she didn't blame Zhu Qingping, she simply couldn't get along with her personality; they couldn't really talk to each other. + +The old man and the old lady Zhao were very satisfied with their granddaughter's behavior. Although they also blamed Zhu Qingping, they were family after all. If they kept nagging, it would seem petty. They couldn't be too calculative with their own relatives. Being domineering at home isn't a real skill; + +true ability comes from being assertive outside! On the table lay a large bowl of braised rabbit, a large bowl of stewed pheasant, a bowl of scrambled eggs with scallions, a bowl of stir-fried chicken giblets and blood with pickled vegetables, a bowl of vegetable rolls, a bowl of fried tofu, and a large bowl of steamed sweet potatoes. Each bowl was piled high, a truly generous portion. + +Everyone looked at the hearty dishes on the table and couldn't help but swallow hard. My goodness! This is even more lavish than the New Year's feast! Grandma Zhao smiled and invited everyone to sit down and eat. "Don't be shy," she said. Because there were so many people, Grandma Zhao set up two tables, one large and one small. The large table was for the men, and the small table was for the women and their children. Tian Sisi was called to their table by Grandpa, and she sat down next to Tian Xinhua and Grandpa. + +The old man was in a very good mood. He asked Old Lady Zhao to bring out a pot of wine and poured a small cup for Tian Bajin and Tian Mantu. The men in the Tian family all liked to drink, and the young and old could all have a few sips. However, in these days, the harvest from the fields wasn't even enough to fill their stomachs, let alone have any extra grain to brew wine. The sorghum that the two families pooled together was barely enough to supply Old Man Tian and Tian Bajin with wine for a year. The others might sip a few mouthfuls if they felt like it, but they didn't dare to drink much. + +Everyone ate and drank to their heart's content, eating meat in large mouthfuls and drinking wine in small sips. Old Lady Zhao told them to finish all the food and not leave any, so she could cook something fresh for dinner. With Old Lady Zhao's instructions, no one was going to be polite anymore. They ate like hungry tigers, taking big bites. + +The old man placed a chicken leg on Tian Sisi's plate, but she refused, giving it to Tian Xinhua instead. "Brother Xinhua, here, have the leg. Next time, we'll go to the mountain to gather meat." + +She whispered the last sentence in Tian Xinhua's ear. Tian Xinhua rolled his eyes at her. "You're dreaming. There's no way you'll find so much meat to gather." + +He didn't stand on ceremony and ate the chicken leg, then placed chicken wings and chicken feet on her plate. A-Nan didn't like chicken legs; she preferred bones and ribs. Tian Sisi looked at the chicken wings and feet with a beaming smile. She hadn't expected the original owner to have such similar tastes! + +"Thank you, Brother Xinhua, but I love gnawing on chicken feet." + +Tian Xinhua watched Tian Sisi gnaw on the chicken feet with disdain. Her hands were greasy, and she would delicately spit out a bone every now and then. Her mouth was also covered in grease. He frowned, took her floral handkerchief from her pocket, and wiped the grease from her hands and mouth. But he retorted, "Look at you eating like that, your face is all greasy. You must have been a dog in your past life, otherwise why would you love gnawing on bones so much?" + +Tian Sisi rolled her eyes at him and wiped the grease off her hands on Tian Xinhua's clothes. "You're the dog!" + +The Tian family all watched Tian Sisi and Tian Xinhua bicker with smiles. Among all the cousins, Anan and Xinhua had the best relationship and loved to argue the most. Tian Shouhua also watched his younger brother with a smile, thinking to himself, "Let them argue, let them argue, it would be best if they argued until we finished eating!" + +Everyone ate their lunch with their mouths full of grease. The dishes on the table were all gone, and even the soup in the bowls was eaten by Tian Jinhua and the other young people. Everyone burped contentedly, rubbing their bulging bellies. Today's meal was rich enough to last for several days. The rice in the pot was also eaten clean. Tian Sisi only ate chicken feet and chicken wings and a few pieces of rabbit meat before she was full. Tian Xinhua ate all the rice in his bowl. + +Tian Xinhua ate her leftovers and then complained, "I'm the only one who doesn't mind your leftovers. How much of your leftovers have I eaten? But how come you eat so little? You're practically skin and bones. Country folk don't like girls like you. Be careful you don't end up unmarried." + +Tian Sisi ignored him. Humph, where was she skinny? She only looked thin; she had plenty of meat on her bones. There was still more than half a bowl of sweet potatoes left on the table. With so much delicious food today, no one wanted to eat coarse grains like sweet potatoes. Tian Sisi picked up a piece of sweet potato and ate it slowly. Sweet potatoes were good for beauty, detoxification, and weight loss. + +Li Yuedi scooped up the leftover bones in a large bowl, intending to feed them to Da Huang. Poor Da Huang had never had a full meal since birth. In this world, not only people are starving, but even dogs are starving!

After a while, the old man finally recovered, but his face was flushed and he was panting heavily. The old man's lungs had been injured before, and two pieces of artillery shrapnel had been removed from his left lung. That's why the old man felt unwell in winter and couldn't get angry. Normally, he shouldn't smoke, but the old man was very stubborn. He insisted that not letting him smoke was worse than taking his life. No one in the family could persuade him, so they could only limit the amount of tobacco he smoked. + +Tian Sisi thought of a recipe for a lung-nourishing wine in her spatial dimension. She decided to try it after making the glutinous rice wine. If it worked, she'd let the old man drink it. Suddenly, Tian Sisi remembered her mother, Zhong Juying, mentioning in her past life that the old man had died of emphysema when the original owner was twenty. That meant the old man had only ten years left to live? + +No, the old man had to live to be a hundred! Not for anything else, but because the old man loved her so much, she had to find a way to improve his health.

She also whispered to him to go to his aunt's place and deliver the meat. Tian Xinhua nodded knowingly. Tian Shouhua went to work with Tian Bajin and the others in the afternoon. He was supposed to go in the morning as well, but he had to accompany Tian Sisi up the mountain and had taken a half-day off. + +Tian Xinhua pushed Tian Manyin's beloved bicycle out, + +hanging the basket on the back seat. Tian Sisi insisted on going along. Grandma Zhao initially refused, but couldn't resist Tian Sisi's pleading and agreed. Tian Sisi quickly changed her clothes, put on a hat, gloves, and scarf, and happily jumped onto the back seat to follow Tian Xinhua to deliver meat. Donghua, Qinghua, and Qinghua, after receiving a piece of milk candy from Tian Sisi, went contentedly to the foot of the mountain to gather firewood, no longer clamoring to come along. When Tian Bajin and his group arrived at the field, their task for the day was composting manure. At this time of year, there were no chemical fertilizers or urea; they used only farmyard manure. Although the yield was lower, the harvest was truly green and organic food. + +Several women followed Zhu Aiqing to work on the other side. In the village, men and women worked separately. Men did strenuous work like hoeing, tilling, and carrying loads, while women did lighter tasks like transplanting rice seedlings, harvesting rice, and weeding. Therefore, women's work points were lower than men's. A woman's full work points were 10, while a man's were 13 (this figure was obtained by Lao Yang from his elders and may have some errors). Ten work points equaled one work point, and one work point was worth about six or seven mao (0.6-0.7 yuan). + +It might sound like the villagers earned a good amount, but in reality, it wasn't. First, very few men or women received their full work points; usually, getting two-thirds was considered good. Some older and weaker individuals only received half work points. Second, even if they received their full work points, they wouldn't receive the full amount. After deducting production costs and advance payments from villagers, a typical family would only receive a few dozen to a little over a hundred yuan a year. + +Like Tian Sisi's family, Zhu Aiqing and Tian Manyin both received full work points and never received advance payments. Even after a year of hard work, their year-end bonus was less than two hundred yuan, less than Grandpa Tian's monthly salary, and less than that of an average city worker. Therefore, farmers in the 1970s greatly envied those who could work in factories, because it meant receiving wages, meat coupons, cloth coupons, oil coupons, and enjoying all the privileges of city dwellers. + +Villagers arrived one after another, and under the village head's arrangement, everyone enthusiastically engaged in production labor. The village head, Zhong Boqiang, was from Zhongjiawan, in his fifties, younger than Tian Bajin. Zhong Boqiang and Tian Bajin had a good relationship; they had been captured by the Japanese as laborers and escaped together, becoming revolutionary brothers who had shared hardships. Zhong Boqiang's left little finger had also been broken by a Japanese whip. + +Zhong Boqiang also has a son in the army, in the same unit as Tian Aiguo, but his rank is lower, currently only a captain. Therefore, although Zhong Boqiang is the village head, he always follows Tian Bajin's lead; you could say that Tian Bajin is the de facto leader of Yuequan Village. + +After assigning the labor tasks, Zhong Boqiang picked up a fence and started shoveling manure. He walked over to Tian Bajin, sniffed the air, and laughed, "Brother Bajin, the food's good! Want a couple of drinks for lunch?" + +"We farmers wouldn't dare use grain to brew wine. My family eats lunch at your place, brother," Tian Bajin said, shoveling manure as he spoke to Zhong Boqiang. + +Zhong Boqiang felt a pang of sympathy. He also loved a drink, but he had given it up in recent years. Why? His children weren't even full; how could he dare drink?

Zhong Boqiang felt a pang of sadness. + +Seeing the expression on Zhong Boqiang's face, Tian Bajin knew that he must have been thinking about his parents, brothers and sisters who died at the hands of the Japanese again. If you were to ask who hated the Japanese the most in Yuequan Village, it would undoubtedly be the Zhong Boqiang and Tian brothers. Although other families in Yuequan Village also had relatives who died at the hands of the Japanese, the Zhong Boqiang family and the Tian Bajin family were the only ones who were killed by the Japanese. + +Zhong Boqiang had a toddler who had just learned to walk. The Japanese soldiers brutally killed him by throwing him to the ground. The little boy, fair and tender, lay there, his body mangled and bloody. Zhong Boqiang fainted upon seeing this. The entire Tian family was also wiped out by the Japanese. After that, Old Master Tian resolutely joined the army. Zhong Boqiang and Tian Bajin also wanted to go, but Old Master Tian stopped them, saying that both families had to continue their lineage, otherwise their ancestors would blame them.

Tian Xinhua and Tian Sisi didn't stand on ceremony; their fourth aunt's husband was a purchasing agent at the supply and marketing cooperative, making + +a good living, so a bag of biscuits was nothing to them. The two thanked Wang Baishan and rode away, delivering rabbit meat to Tian Manju and her family in turn. When they returned, their baskets were much fuller. There was homemade frozen rice candy (made by boiling rice and sugar together, then cooling and stretching it into strips; sometimes called rice cake) from Tian Manju, vine-like strands (a type of rice flour noodle coiled like vines) from Tian Mantao, and New Year's cake from Tian Manju, filling the baskets to the brim. + +Tian Manlan was the worst-married among her sisters. Not only was her husband a good-for-nothing, but she also lived in Huangken Village, the poorest village in the town. The village was located halfway up a mountain; entering the village was all uphill, and leaving was all downhill. The villagers rarely left the village throughout the year, and were basically self-sufficient, except for coming to town to buy necessities like salt, soy sauce, and vinegar. + +As a result, there are quite a few bachelors in the village. Any girl in the village who is even slightly outstanding is eager to marry out, and few girls from other villages are willing to marry into the village.

Luckily, he had eaten a hearty lunch, otherwise he wouldn't have had the strength to push the bike up. After resting for a while, they got dressed and rode their bikes to Tian Manlan's house.

Why did the children in the village bully Jianguo and his three brothers? Tian Sisi wiped the two little guys' faces clean with a handkerchief, then took out the biscuits given by her fourth uncle and gave each of them a piece. Weiguo and Baoguo stopped crying soon after they had the biscuits and ate them with curiosity. Jianguo refused to eat and put the biscuits in his pocket, preparing to take them back to Tian Manlan to eat. + +Tian Sisi felt sad. Her father was careless and her mother was too weak. This nine-year-old boy had already shouldered the burden of the family too early. It was really hard for him. Tian Sisi gently asked Jianguo to eat the biscuits. She also showed him the whole pack of biscuits in the basket, indicating that there were plenty of biscuits and letting him eat them without fear. Jianguo then carefully took out the biscuits from his pocket and ate them bit by bit. + +On the way Jianguo explained the cause of the matter. It turned out that the matter was caused by his uncle and the children of his uncle's family. Because of the partiality of their grandparents, the three Shou Jianguo brothers were often bullied by their cousins ​​at home. Their grandparents would only scold them, and their mother only knew how to cry, so they had to endure it or try to avoid them. + +But they wanted to settle the matter, but those cousins ​​were addicted to bullying them. They would cause trouble for them from time to time, and sometimes they would call other children in the village to bully them. When Tian Sisi heard this, she was so angry that her eyebrows stood up. These bastards, they thought that the Tian family had no one, right? Tian Xinhua was also very angry. He didn't come to his sister-in-law's place very often. He didn't expect that his sister-in-law's life would be so difficult. + +No, the daughter of the Tian family could not tolerate being treated so badly by people from other villages. The two brothers and sisters looked at each other and understood. Tian Sisi took Jianguo's hand and said to him: "Jianguo, let's see how I will avenge you. Hmm, if you dare to bully our Tian family, I won't beat them to death." + +Tian Sisi danced her little fists as she spoke. Shou Jianguo looked at Tian Sisi's small body and said carefully: "Sister Zhaodi, I'm fine. Don't go looking for them." + +"Call me Sister Sisi, remember the bitterness and sweetness. From now on, I will be called Tian Sisi. Don't be afraid of Jianguo, they don't dare to do anything to me and Brother Xinhua." Tian Sisi said this with confidence. In this era, she has such a big backer as Mr. Tian. She can walk around in Wangjia Town no matter how she wants. It's just a trivial matter like venting her anger on her cousin, which is nothing at all. Only Tian Manlan, a dumpling, is bullied like this. + +Weiguo and Baoguo were younger and did not think as much as their eldest brother Jianguo. When they heard Tian Sisi say that they wanted to avenge them, they both jumped up with joy. Weiguo said loudly: "Sister Zhaodi,..." + +"Sister Sisi" Tian Sisi reminded again. + +Wei Guo was quite clever. No wonder he later became a postdoctoral fellow. He immediately changed his tune, "Sister Sisi, Shou Liguo is the worst. He beats him the hardest every time. Sister Sisi, you have to beat him hard." + +"Isn't Shou Liguo just a little fat, maybe a boy in his teens?" + +"Well, that's him. He is my uncle's son. My grandparents like him the most. They feed him whatever delicious food they have." Shou Weiguo nodded. + +"Okay, just wait and watch how Sister Sisi beats that Shou Liguo, breaking his butt in three halves." + +"Yes, beat him in half! He can't even poop." + +Tian Sisi: "......" + +She picked up a wooden stick from the ground and weighed it with her hands. It was quite suitable. It was just right for beating a dog. Tian Xinhua smiled and looked at Ah Nanxiong's arrogant look, but did not stop her. This is what the Tian family girl had to do. She was bullied to the point of being bullied, so how could she not fight back? In other words, my sister-in-law's soft bun doesn't look like the Tian family at all. + +Shou Jianguo took them home. As soon as they stepped through the courtyard gate, they heard an old woman's vigorous scolding: "You cheap thing who threw yourself at us, the sons you raised are all no good—how dare you hit my grandson? If Liguo gets hurt anywhere, just watch me beat those three little brats to death." +The reason this old lady was cursing with the phrase "thrown away for free" was that back then, because Tian Manlan insisted on marrying Shou Jizu, the old man said in a fit of anger: "If you insist on marrying that good-for-nothing, your mother and I won't prepare a single cent of dowry for you." +You must understand that the bride's dowry represents the girl's face and status. Even the poorest families, when marrying off a daughter, would borrow money to prepare dowries such as chamber pots, washbasins, and quilts for her, to avoid being looked down upon by her husband's family after marriage. That was why the old man used this to pressure Tian Manlan, thinking she would be intimidated. Who would have expected Tian Manlan to be dead set on it, even saying that she would marry him even if she had not a single cent of dowry. +This made the old man very angry. Even if Mrs. Zhao no longer had to worry about his daughter's life and death, there was no dowry, no matchmaker was invited, and even the wedding banquet was not arranged. Tian Manlan and Shou Jizu just went to the town to get a marriage certificate, and then lived together. Since their marriage, Tian Manlan wanted to return to her parents' home several times during the New Year, but the old man blocked the door. He gave the three children red envelopes, but did not let them enter the house. + +That's why Mrs. Shou called Tian Manlan a bitch who came to the door for free. This sentence was already extremely excessive at the time. Tian Xinhua and Tian Sisi's expressions changed after hearing this. This old lady was just slapping their Tian family in the face! Hum, I don’t have the ability to find a wife for my son, yet I dare to think that my sister-in-law doesn’t have a dowry. + +ps: Lao Yang doesn’t know what the customs are like in other places? But if a girl here in Laoyang does not have a dowry, she will indeed be looked down upon by her husband's family. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/09/eng_cont/i_0030.txt b/09/eng_cont/i_0030.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..52bd752b05dc4dfde254d85d8bfebf5d7c828857 --- /dev/null +++ b/09/eng_cont/i_0030.txt @@ -0,0 +1,49 @@ +Chapter 30 early. + +Tian Xinhua parked his bicycle, took Shou Jianguo's hand and walked in, saying loudly: "Who was your grandson beaten?

Old lady, why did your heart go to Sri Town (the town next to Wangjia Town)? Did you bring my brother-in-law back from outside?" + +As Tian Xinhua talked, he showed the injuries on Shou Jianguo's face and hands to the old lady Shou. Next to him, Tian Manlan cried even harder when she saw her eldest son covered in bruises. Tian Sisi was annoyed and shouted to her: "Sister-in-law, as the saying goes, a mother is strong, what's the use of crying? You are such a big man and you can't even protect your own son. You are really not worthy to be the mother-in-law of Jianguo, Weiguo and Baoguo." + +Tian Sisi really hated her. Although her mother Zhong Juying always scolded her in her previous life, she was very protective. If she was bullied by other children outside, her mother would definitely drag her to that house to punish her. If you don't beat your children, then she will beat them for you. Anyway, I can't let my daughter be beaten by your children in vain. The adults in the family had no choice but to beat their own children severely in front of Zhong Juying, which satisfied Zhong Juying. + +Over time, everyone knew that Tian Sisi had a powerful mother, and no one dared to bully her. However, Zhong Juying still scolded her after she came back from the crusade outside, saying that she was useless and didn't know how to fight back when bullied. If someone bullied her again and came back crying, she wouldn't care. But that's what she said. If someone bullies Tian Sisi again next time, Zhong Juying will still go to other people's houses to settle accounts. + +Tian Manlan was stunned for a while after listening to her niece's words, as if she was thinking about Tian Sisi's words, but Shou Jianguo burst into tears. No matter how strong he was, he was only a nine-year-old child. There were many times when he and his brother were bullied outside. When they came back, theyHis mother-in-law said that his mother-in-law only told them to endure it and never dared to stand up for them. Sometimes he really resented his father's irresponsibility and his mother-in-law's weakness. Now that he heard his cousin's words, he vented his grievances. + +Tian Sisi saw Shou Jianguo crying sadly, and quickly wiped his tears with a handkerchief, but forgot that Shou Jianguo was half a head taller than her. Shou Jianguo was embarrassed, so he took the handkerchief and wiped it himself. Tian Sisi turned to Tian Manlan and said angrily: + +"Sister-in-law, Jianguo and the others were bullied outside, don't you know who stood up for them? Like my mother-in-law, if anyone dares to bully me, she will definitely stand up for me." Tian Sisi was talking about the old lady in her previous life, but to other people's ears, they thought she was talking about Zhu Aiqing. + +"Anan, you don't know..." Tian Manlan smiled bitterly and wanted to explain. + +Tian Sisi didn't want to hear it at all. She snorted, "I don't understand anything. Anyway, you can't even protect your own child. You're not a good mother." + +"Mom is good, she saved all the food for us to eat." Although Shou Jianguo complained that Tian Manlan was too weak, he still respected Tian Manlan in his heart and couldn't help but judge Tian Manlan for her. + +When Tian Manlan heard her eldest son's words, she shed tears again. A'nan was right, she was really not a good mother. Tian Sisi had a headache when she saw it. Her sister-in-law was really made of water. She was too lazy to tell Tian Manlan that mountains and rivers are easy to move, but nature is hard to change. It's harder for a soft bun to rise up and become a hedgehog than Foolish Old Man to move mountains. + +At this time, the old lady Shou was a little embarrassed by Tian Xinhua's words. She said angrily: "If I don't tell you children, is there no one in your Tian family? Let you two children take the lead." + +"Of course there is no shortage of our Tian family, but we also have to look at others. To confront you, Mrs. Shou, our two children are enough." Tian Xinhua walked back unhurriedly, causing the people watching outside to burst into laughter. I didn't expect that Tian Manlan's mother-in-law, even the children, were so powerful, so why was Tian Manlan so polite and not tough at all. + +"Brother Xinhua, what are you talking about to this old woman? Does she understand? It was this little fat guy who beat Jianguo just now, right? Huh, Old Mrs. Shou, look at how you raise your grandson? One grandson is like a pig, but my cousin Jianguo and the three of them are as thin as bamboo poles, WeiThe old man said that young people are full of vitality and are in their prime, just like the sun at 1 o'clock in the morning. Hope is placed on young people. Huh, old lady Shou, you are abusing young children and destroying the hope of the country!" + +Tian Sisi probably remembered that the Communist Party had such a saying, and now they copied it. Although Jianguo and the others were still far away from the young people, it was definitely enough to scare the old lady in the countryside. As expected, when Tian Sisi said this, the old lady Shou turned pale with fright. If he is labeled as "anti-Japanese" these days, then this person will be doomed. Not only will he be criticized, but his family will also be unlucky. + +The old lady Shou was so anxious that her forehead was covered with sweat, and she hurriedly defended: "Don't talk nonsense. I am an innocent poor peasant, and I support the Communist Party the most. How can I oppose him? Don't slander me." + +"Then you beat up that little fat guy first. Didn't you just say you were going to beat up my three cousins to death? Aren't you abusing children? If you don't beat up that little fat guy, you are against the Communist Party. Humph, my grandfather is an old revolutionary who was received by the President, and my third uncle is also an outstanding officer praised by the President. Our family is all descendants of revolutionaries with upright roots. Do you think it is I who understands what he said more deeply, or you who understand it more deeply?" + +Tian Sisi told her family's background in one go, and as expected, she calmed down a group of villagers outside, and also the old lady Shou. She didn't know that this dough-like second daughter-in-law's mother-in-law was so powerful. She turned pale with fright. You know how amazing it is to be received by the police in this era. His status is higher than that of the mayor of Wangjia Town. Is the father-in-law who has never met him so powerful? + +The other villagers were talking a lot. They didn't expect that Shou Jizu's daughter-in-law had such a good background, so it was really hard to figure out how she could live such a useless life. The village chief of Huangkeng Village, whose surname is also Shou, is Shou Yaowu. He is considered to be Shou Jizu's second cousin. He was also outside watching the fun at this time. At this time, he saw that Tian Sisi, a 6-year-old girl, was not timid at all in front of a large group of people. She was articulate and fashionably dressed. He somewhat believed Tian Sisi's words. Ordinary families really couldn't raise such a girl. + +At this moment, he thought about Xiao Jiujiu. It seemed that his step-grandfather's wife's mother-in-law had a lot of connections in the army. His youngest son would be old enough to join the army next year. If he could climb this line, then his future career in the army would be smooth sailing! + +Having made up his mind, Shou Yaowu walked in with a smile and said to the old lady Shou: "This little girl is right. What you did just now is very wrong. You even thought of beating Jianguo and the others to death. Look, how injured Jianguo is? Sister-in-law, they are all your grandsons. You can't go too far!" + +Shou Yaowu's words shocked everyone present, especially the old lady Shou, who was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood. It was not the first time that she said such things. Shou Yaowu had never come to take care of it. Today, he was meddling in his own business. She was about to scold her back, but was stopped by the eldest son Shou Chengzu who rushed back. Shou Chengzu came back specially after hearing the report from the villagers. + +Now it seems that this second cousin-in-law is obviously interested in the power of the second sister-in-law's mother's family. Humph, I didn't expect that this second sister-in-law has such a big background? The second brother has never mentioned it. If he had known that the second sister-in-law had such a background, would he have allowed his mother to abuse the second sister-in-law?

It is common for children to make too much noise. My Li Guo may have been too harsh. I will teach him a lesson later." Shou Liguo was Shou Chengzu's precious son when he was thirty years old.

What Tian Xinhua doesn't know is that although Tian Manlan is a little weaker, she is not the kind of person who can't fight back or retaliate. It's just that in recent years, the old man has refused to recognize her and has not allowed her brothers and sisters to associate with her. It is as if she has been expelled from the family. In this era, a woman without the support of her mother's family has no confidence at all, which is why Tian Manlan lives such a bad life. + +Now Tian Xinhua and Tian Sisi are standing up for her and their children.

Over the years, he had always turned a blind eye to the misfortune of his step-grandfather's wife.

It was a good thing that he remembered this today, and he would definitely ask for it back in the future. + +Shou Jizu closed his eyes and spanked his son's butt.

In this way, Zhong Juying managed to open more than a dozen stores in the early Suicheng market, which also earned her the reputation of "Hu Sanniang". Zhong Juying has also taught Tian Sisi this way since she was a child. Therefore, although Tian Sisi looked cute in her previous life, she was not easy to mess with at all.

These two children are so powerful, aren't adults even more ruthless? + +Shou Yaowu hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "How could it be possible? As the head of a village and Jianguo's second uncle, how could I allow such a thing to happen? Don't worry." + +Tian Sisi sneered in her heart, if you, the village chief, are really fair, why haven't you come out to say something fair before? However, she also knows that you can only offend one family at a time. This is what Zhong Juying taught her. You must never offend two different people at the same time. People would rather offend one person first, and then offend the other after a while, so as to give themselves some buffering time. I taught her a lot of principles in life in her previous life, but she didn't use them. On the contrary, she was reminded of them after she got here. + +So Tian Sisi said with a sweet smile: "Chief Shou, that's really troublesome for you. My sister-in-law and three cousins have also benefited from your care over the years. I need to trouble you more in the future! I will definitely praise you with my third uncle later." + +Shou Yaowu felt a little guilty after hearing this, but he felt very comfortable in his heart. No matter how cute Tian Sisi was, the descendants of the revolution were sure to cause trouble. He smiled and promised to take good care of Tian Manlan's family. The two parties suddenly changed from the tense situation just now, as if they were blowing by the spring breeze. + +Tian Xinhua knew that the head of Shou Village must have something to ask of his third uncle. Just ask for something, so that his sister-in-law and cousin would have a backer in this village in the future. After all, they could not come here all the time. At that moment, he smiled and said a few specious words to Shou Yaowu, neither agreeing to anything nor denying anything. It made Shou Yaowu feel uncomfortable to death, but he did not dare not to take good care of Tian Manlan's family for them. + +Tian Sisi and Tian Xinhua discussed giving all the things in the basket to their sister-in-law. According to what Jianguo said just now, their sister-in-law's family may not even have anything to eat during the New Year. Shou Jizu has not returned home until the New Year. The family has no money and no food. They can barely survive on the little food that Mrs. Zhao gave them years ago. + +Tian Sisi took out rice cakes, cane stems, frozen rice candies, rabbit meat, etc. in front of the villagers. Every time she took out something, the villagers exclaimed. These are all hard currency, especially the five or six kilograms of meat, which is difficult to buy with money. It seems that the step-grandfather's daughter-in-law's mother's family has enough money. No wonder the little girl looks so foreign. She has no money to dress up a daughter so beautifully? I don’t know what kind of bad luck this Shou Jizu had, to find a wife with such a background? + +Tian Manlan didn't want those things, but she didn't have the confidence to say "no". There was not much food left in the house. She could not eat it, but the three children had to eat it, so Tian Manlan had to accept the food in shame. Tian Xinhua felt bad when she saw her sister-in-law's appearance. + +My sister-in-law used to be a very lively person, but now she is not even thirty years old, but she is already as old as a forty-year-old person. If the grandpa and the eldest lady saw her, they would not know how uncomfortable they would be! He reached out to hold Tian Manlan's calloused hand and comforted him: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, the days will get better and better in the future, but you must be strong." + +Tian Manlan couldn't help but cry and nodded in response. She never expected that after nearly ten years of suffering, her two little nephews and niece would actually save her and her son from the sea of suffering. She was really in vain as an elder! Tian Sisi and Shou Jianguo put things into the kitchen together. The kitchen was empty, except for a few broken bowls. There was no oil, no vegetables, only a spoon-sized amount of salt left. There was only a handful of rice in the rice jar and nothing else. I don't know how my sister-in-law and the others survived this year. + +Tian Sisi pulled Jianguo over and realized that Jianguo's cotton-padded jacket was as thin as cardboard. She then touched Weiguo's and Baoguo's. Although it was a bit thicker, it was still too thick to keep out the cold. "Why do you only wear so much? Don't you have any cotton-padded jackets at home?" + +"No, Mommy took apart her cotton-padded jacket and gave it to us to change. Mommy's one is even thinner." Jianguo lowered his head. + +"Then what do you eat during the Chinese New Year?" + +"The fourth uncle (Tian Manyin) sent some rice and vegetables, and we ate for the whole first month." + +Tian Sisi sighed. It was a good thing that my sister-in-law and the three children did not starve or freeze to death. The food they brought today was only enough for my sister-in-law, Jianguo and the others to eat for a week. The most important thing was that the clothes they wore were too thin. The children were so young, sooner or later they would get sick from the cold. + +Although she knew that Jianguo and his three brothers could all grow up and become social elites, as far as she knew in their previous lives, the three Jianguo brothers were not in very good health and looked very thin. It probably had something to do with the hunger and cold when they were young. Now that she had seen it, how could she watch her three children and sister-in-law suffer like this? + +ps: Although it is a favorite novel, the heroine is not a dumpling, nor is she a strong woman. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/09/eng_cont/i_0033.txt b/09/eng_cont/i_0033.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..dd93b01845933e447a10a4f16fa56df083d8b0ce --- /dev/null +++ b/09/eng_cont/i_0033.txt @@ -0,0 +1,61 @@ +Chapter 33 The Suffering Cousin. + +At that moment, Tian Sisi decided to take the Jianguo trio home and let them take a good rest for a while, so as to avoid the root cause of the disease. As for her sister-in-law, she did not dare to take them back because she was afraid that the old man would get angry and collapse his body. She had to slowly convince the old man in the future. Besides the three children were not around, the food was enough for the little sister to eat for a few months. And with Shou Yaowu's guarantee, she thought her life in Huangkeng Village would not be too sad. + +After making a decision, Tian Sisi went out and pulled Tian Xinhua in, letting him see the situation in the kitchen, and then letting him touch Jianguo's clothes. Tian Xinhua's face was not good-looking. He really didn't expect that his sister-in-law's life would be so miserable, three points worse than the most miserable family in Yuequan Village. Without saying a word, he agreed to Tian Sisi's suggestion. He would take Jianguo and the others back first, and then scold him if he wanted to. + +Tian Sisi asked them to go out first. She quietly added about ten kilograms of rice to the rice vat, half a bowl of salt to the salt bowl, and half a pot of oil to the oil pot. She didn't dare to do more. Tian Manlan would not doubt this, and would only think that Mrs. Zhao asked her and Tian Xinhua to bring it. + +Tian Xinhua had made an agreement with her sister-in-law outside to take the three Jianguo brothers back to live for a while. Tian Manlan wanted to refuse. Her father had never let their mother into the house before. She was worried that the three children would be rejected by her father this time. But seeing the expectations on the faces of the three Jianguo brothers, she couldn't say no. Maybe with A'nan and Xinhua, her father would not turn away the three children, right? + +The sun outside had already hung halfway up the mountain, and it was about three or four o'clock. Tian Xinhua didn't say much, so Jianguo and the others didn't need to pack their things, and left directly. But how to get back became a problem. There was only one bicycle, and it couldn't carry four people anyway. Tian Manlan hesitated for a while, and then said, "Why don't we go today, and we'll go back next time?" + +"No, we must go today. The clothes Jianguo and the others are wearing are too thin and they will wear down their bodies." Tian Sisi insisted. Her words also made Tian Manlan blush. Tian Xinhua, who was hesitant at first, became determined. It was too cold in the mountains. It would have been fine if he didn't know, but now he knew. If he was asked to ignore it, he couldn't do it. + +"Let's do this, brother Xinhua, you take Weiguo and Baoguo back first, Jianguo and I will follow slowly on foot. When you get home, let dad pick us up." + +"Can you bear to walk?" Tian Xinhua looked at Tian Sisi with doubts in his eyes. A'nan hated walking the most, so he asked her to walk dozens of miles, so as not to make her sick from exhaustion. He meant that A'nan and Bao Guo should take the car, and Jianguo and Wei Guo should follow slowly behind, and then come back to pick up the two brothers. + +"Sister Sisi, my eldest brother and I are leaving together. You and your younger brother should go together first." Weiguo was a somewhat sensitive child. He was a little panicked when he saw that he had taken his cousin's place, so he offered not to make a car. + +"No, I'm a sister. I can't let you walk. Just do it. Your elder brother and I will walk behind for a while and then rest for a while. You won't get tired." Tian Sisi assured her, patting her chest. Although she really hated walking, she couldn't let a six-year-old walk dozens of miles. + +Tian Xinhua didn't insist anymore. A-nan's arrangement was the best, but it was just that A-nan had to suffer. Forget it, he would ride faster later and asked his fourth uncle to seize the time to pick up A-nan and Jianguo. He put the youngest Baoguo in the basket., let Weiguo sit on the horizontal bar in front. Seeing their thin clothes, Tian Sisi hurriedly took off the cotton-padded jackets on their bodies and put them on Baoguo in the basket. It was very windy to ride the bicycle, so Xiao Baoguo should not freeze. + +"Auntie, put it on quickly. Baoguo is used to the cold. It'll be fine." Tian Manlan hurriedly asked Tian Sisi to put on the cotton-padded jacket. This niece's health is not very good. What if she gets sick from the cold? + +"It's okay. I'll definitely be getting hotter as I walk. Besides, the sun is still shining brightly now, so it's not cold." + +Tian Xinhua also took off his cotton-padded jacket and put it on Wei Guo, letting Tian Sisi and Jianguo walk slowly behind. He asked his fourth uncle to pick him up as soon as possible. Tian Sisi waved his hand to tell him to stop talking. He had already ridden a mile before he started talking nonsense. Tian Xinhua choked with anger for a while, muttered "I don't know what to do!" and walked away in a hurry. + +Tian Manlan sent Tian Sisi and Shou Jianguo to the entrance of the village, and gave Shou Jianguo some words before watching them leave. Tian Sisi took Shou Jianguo's hand, took out a few biscuits from his trouser pocket, and handed them to Jianguo to eat. Jianguo thanked Sister Sisi gratefully and ate heartily. He was really hungry. He had rice soup for lunch, and he saved a few grains of rice for his two brothers. He only drank two bowls of water, and his stomach was already empty. + +Tian Sisi looked at the cotton shoes on her feet. Fortunately, she didn't wear those leather shoes, otherwise her two tender feet would have suffered. She was really foresight. Tian Sisi couldn't help but feel proud. She hummed and picked some unknown weeds from the roadside to make weed rings. She was very happy. Jianguo was infected by her, and his face showed the innocence he should have at his age. + +However, Tian Sisi's joy only lasted for ten minutes. Her feet, which had never walked a long distance, protested. After walking only two or three miles, Tian Sisi felt as if her legs were filled with lead and she couldn't even lift them up. On the contrary, it was Jianguo's kid who walked like a tiger. Tian Sisi gritted her teeth, no, how could she not even compare to a nine-year-old kid? + +In this way, Tian Sisi relied on the energy that could not be lost to a little kid, which allowed her to walk halfway. The two of them had already gone down the mountain and came to the road. However, the sky also darkened, and the moon slowly rose, making it appear that the road was foggy. There were no street lights at this time, and there were no villages on the roadside. They relied on the hazy moonlight to guide the way. + +"Jianguo, is there someone in front of you?" + +"No, that's the shadow of a tree." + +"Jianguo, is there a snake lying there?" Tian Sisi's voice trembled. She was most afraid of snakes. + +"Sister Sisi, haven't the snakes come out of their holes yet? Those are also tree shadows." Jianguo rolled his eyes. Sister Sisi had never stopped asking questions along the way. Either there was a person in front, a dog, or a snake. Thanks to Sister Sisi's rich imagination, she could see these tree shadows as so many things. + +Tian Sisi also knew that she was a little too excited, but those tree shadows were really scary and strange, especially in this dark night. It was already very dark at this time. Tian Sisi held Jianguo's hand tightly, sweat dripping from her palms. A gust of mountain wind blew by, and she couldn't help but shudder. + +Tian Xinhua really wanted to ride faster, but the descent was steep. He didn't dare to ride fast at all, so he could only go downhill slowly. Although he was anxious, he knew that the faster he hurried, the easier it would be to get into trouble, so he had to hold back his temper. After finally going down the mountain, Tian Xinhua rode the bike very fast, stepping on the pedals with both feet, and the white breath from his mouth blurred his eyebrows. + +Finally riding home, Tian Manyin was looking around at the entrance of the village. When he saw Tian Xinhua, he rushed to greet her with a smile, but he didn't see his precious daughter, only his two sons. His expression suddenly changed, "Xinhua, where is grandma? What happened?" + +"It's okay, Fourth Uncle, you can quickly ride the bike to pick up A'nan and Jianguo. They are still walking behind. I'll ride here with Weiguo and Baoguo first." Tian Xinhua was also very tired and finished the sentence while panting. + +When Tian Manyin heard that his precious daughter had walked dozens of miles of mountain roads, his heart ached. However, he also knew that he could not blame Xinhua. The two in the car were younger, and Grandma was leaving the two younger brothers. Tian Manyin felt sorry for his daughter, and felt sorry for her. He was so happy that he hurriedly took off the cotton-padded jackets from Weiguo and Baoguo, put them into the basket, and let Tian Xinhua take them home.

She sat down on the ground. Her legs were so painful that she couldn't feel anything. She didn't know if her legs were broken? Tian Sisi thought about it carefully and found that she had never heard of walking too much and damaging her legs. Then she felt relieved. Tian Sisi whispered to Jianguo: "Jianguo, let's wait for my dad here. I really can't walk." + +Jianguo was also very tired, but he could persist because he had been doing farm work since he was a child.

Zhu Aiqing wrapped her daughter's feet with cloth, which was so thick that she couldn't walk. + +"No, I don't want to stay at home. Brother Xinhua can just carry me out to play." When Tian Sisi heard that she was told to stay at home and was not allowed to go out, she immediately protested. + +Zhu Aiqing raised her eyebrows and slapped Tian Sisi on the leg. The pain made Tian Sisi cry out. Tian Manyin hurriedly said, "Take it easy." Tian Xinhua also said, "Fourth Aunt, I will carry Grandma out on my back, and I promise to take good care of her." + +"Okay, since the child can't be kept at home all day, let Xinhua carry him out. But grandma can't stay outside for too long. She will come back after playing for a while. Do you understand?" The old man spoke out in support. Tian Sisi nodded happily. The father-in-law spoke, and Zhu Aiqing had to agree. + +Zhao Yueban and Li Yuedi brought out all the hot dishes from the kitchen and set up two full tables. The whole family gathered around to eat the belated dinner. Tian Sisi sat on a stool and told her what she wanted to eat. Tian Xinhua served it to her like a young lady. The others laughed and made a few jokes and let them play. + +The three Jianguo brothers have never eaten such a sumptuous meal since they were born. They lowered their heads and kept eating white rice, not daring to pick up the vegetables. Mrs. Zhao felt sad, so she picked up a piece of oily chicken for each of them and asked them to eat quickly. Jianguo and Weiguo looked at their grandmother. Her eyes were completely different from the disgusted look in the old lady Shou's eyes. She pretended to be distressed and loving, and she suddenly relaxed in her heart. This place is different from home, everyone is very nice to them, how nice! + +After all, Baoguo was young and had already enjoyed his meal. Jianguo and Weiguo also ate heartily. Mrs. Zhao kept picking up vegetables for them, and also served them a bowl of chicken soup for them to drink while it was hot. + +After dinner, Tian Bajin made arrangements to go to Huangkeng Village tomorrow morning. Tomorrow morning, he asked Zhong Fugao (Zhong Boqiang's second son, a tractor driver in the village) to drive the tractor together to Huangkeng Village. Alas, it is inconvenient that there is no telephone in this village. Otherwise, why bother Fugao with a call to Mantong? The most important thing is that Man Tong's Jiefang Che looks very impressive. He is going to support Man Lan tomorrow. Of course, he looks very impressive. + +No, the town leaders must find a way to install these telephones and electricity. I heard that several villages in Sri Town have already installed electricity. How can their Wangjia Town lag behind? That electric lamp is a good thing. It lights up with just one pull. It is brighter than an oil lamp and is not afraid of being blown by the wind. The most important thing is that it does not use lamp oil! Well, this matter should be made a top priority in the village this year, and then we can join forces with several other village cadres to go to the town to work on it. + +Tian Xinhua interjected and said, "Grandpa, among the Shou family, the eldest Shou Chengzu is the worst. He is responsible for all bad things. The third Shou Sizu is a firecracker, and he is quick to fire. There is also the old Mr. Shou, who is wilted and bad, and the old woman Shou is an unreasonable old shrew." + +"Yes, Shou Chengzu is the worst, and his son is not a good person either. Dad, you have to teach them a lesson tomorrow. However, Brother Xinhua and I have already taught them a lesson today." Tian Sisi was filled with joy when she thought about what happened in the afternoon. She chattered out the glorious deeds of her and Tian Xinhua that afternoon, making everyone fall forward with laughter. + +"Ana is so smart, she knows so many ** quotes." Li Yuedi praised her with a smile. Tian Sisi was very helpful. In her previous life, I always said she was stupid, but now someone finally praises her for being smart. + +Tian Manyin also told her about going to the town government to change her name, which made Mrs. Zhao hug Tian Sisi and kiss her several times. It was so rare that Tian Sisi smiled and was in a great mood. + +Tian Xinhua also joined in the fun and recounted what Tian Sisi taught Jianguo in the afternoon. Now the old man looked at this granddaughter with admiration. He usually looked at A'nan's charming face, but he didn't expect that A'nan would say these words? + +"Ah-nan, where did you hear these words?" The old man was very sure that these words were not thought up by Ah-nan himself. He suspected that they might have been taught by the mysterious figure behind Ah-nan. + +"Listen to what grandpa said. Didn't grandpa always say that you can't be afraid of death when fighting Japanese invaders? The more you fear death, the faster you will die! Those people in the Shou family are just as hateful as the Japanese." Tian Sisi had already prepared the reason, and she pretended to be innocent and said it out. + +After hearing this, everyone else suddenly realized that the old man often said these words. No wonder Grandma would teach Jianguo like this! Only the old man and Tian Xinhua looked at Tian Sisi meaningfully, but they didn't ask any more questions. + +"You two can't be so bold in the future. Today you are lucky enough to meet a clever village chief. If you meet such a stupid person, they don't care what your grandfather and third uncle do. Let's beat them first to see if you don't suffer a big loss?" Tian Bajin scolded them both with a straight face. These two kids were too audacious. Just two little people dared to pick on the entire Huangkeng Village. It's lucky that nothing happened. + +"I know, Grandpa (Second Grandpa)." Tian Xinhua and Tian Sisi agreed obediently. At that time, they were only focused on rushing forward with passion, and how could they care so much. Thinking about it now, they were indeed too impulsive. + +ps: Thanks to readers such as maplecsu, I love myself xx, Fat Girl 0915, Book Friends 150821174045496, I’m so low-key, etc. for their support.

The old man used to do this often, so he carried Tian Sisi onto the old man's bed and went back to his room to sleep. + +Tian Sisi panicked when she saw the old man's serious expression. She didn't know what happened? Could it be that Mr. Tian realized that she was not his granddaughter? Tian Sisi didn't dare to look into the old man's eyes and lowered her head to look at the patterns on the quilt. In the old man's eyes, this meant that her granddaughter must be hiding something from him. + +"Ana, are you hiding something from grandpa and my mother-in-law?" + +Come, come, the old man really discovered that she was no longer the original product, but she couldn't bear to leave the Tian family who loved her! Although I have only lived here for a few days, and the living standard is not as good as in the previous life, it is so cozy and warm here. Tian Sisi said in a low voice with a sad face, "Grandpa, madam, I didn't mean to hide it from you, I just don't know how to tell you." + +The little girl was still tender, and the deceit was pulled off. The old man was extremely proud. Little did he know that what his granddaughter said and what he asked were not the same thing at all! + +"Why is it so hard to tell? Do you know how dangerous it is for you to take things out so casually? If grandpa hadn't wiped your tail clean for you, Xinhua and the others would have been suspicious." The old man lectured with a straight face. + +Huh? It seemed that she had made a mistake. The old man was probably talking about what she had done on the mountain in the morning, right? Tian Sisi breathed a sigh of relief. As long as she didn't find out that she was not the original owner, it would be fine. As for the space matter, she had also thought about it. It seemed impossible not to say anything at all. Several people in the Tian family were very smart. Over time, the secret would definitely be exposed. It was better to tell the truth. + +Having made up her mind, Tian Sisi made up her mind and said flatteringly: "Grandpa, you are so awesome, you noticed right away!" + +"Humph, don't flatter me, tell me what happened, and grandpa can still find a way to cover it up for you." The old man suppressed his laughter, and his granddaughter now looked like a coquettish rhubarb, wagging her tail. + +Old Mrs. Zhao didn't understand the conversation between the old man and her granddaughter at all, but she didn't interrupt. Anyway, the old man would definitely tell her later. This point of Old Mrs. Zhao made the old man extremely satisfied. + +"I don't know what happened. Last time when I was sick and in a coma, a white monkey seemed to be talking to me, saying that my ancestors were kind to it in previous lives and wanted to help me in this life. It clicked on my bracelet and said that it contained a lot of things and that it could do whatever it wanted."Whatever comes out will make my life better. In fact, I think my life is pretty good."Tian Sisi half-truthfully said about the space. She stretched out her hand to show the old man and Mrs. Zhao the silver bracelet, but in fact the space was already in the mark on her wrist. + +In order to show that what she said was true, Tian Sisi also took out two bananas for the old man and Mrs. Zhao to eat. The two watched their granddaughter conjure two golden bananas like a magic trick, and their eyes nearly popped out. The old man also found it a bit difficult to accept. No matter how many possibilities he thought about, he never thought that his granddaughter would have such a strange fate. + +"Then those things on the mountain today were all created by Grandma? And the rice in the rice vat and the extra oil from the oil pot?" Mrs. Zhao suddenly realized that she could finally explain why she ate more and more things in the kitchen. + +"Where else do you think it came from?" The old man said as he jumped out of bed very flexibly, drew the curtains, and closed the doors and windows. Then he returned to the bed with peace of mind and tapped Tian Sisi's forehead. "You girl, you are too bold. What if someone sees you?" + +"Yes, grandma, I don't want to do tricks like this outside in the future, something will happen." Mrs. Zhao, who came back to her senses, also warned her. + +There was only worry and love in the eyes of the two old people. After telling part of the truth, Tian Sisi quickly calmed down and comforted her: "I changed in front of my grandpa and empress. White Monkey taught me that except grandpa and empress, I was told not to tell anyone else, and if I told anyone else, I would take back my things." + +Tian Sisi made up an excuse and gained some leverage for herself. She was still a little worried about the changes in people's hearts, so let the old man and Mrs. Zhao think that only she could use these things! + +The old man and Mrs. Zhao were convinced. Although the old man was an old revolutionary, he had always believed in these ghosts and gods, not to mention the old lady Zhao. They also told Tian Sisi, "Then you must not tell other people. Grandpa and my wife will not tell anyone. You must put the bracelet away and don't drop it." + +"Well, I know, grandpa, what kind of kindness does our ancestor have to the white monkey? Why did it only give me this treasure? Why not give it to Tsinghua University and the others?" The original owner only found out about the identity of his adopted daughter after she became an adult, so Tian Sisi asked this deliberately to increase the authenticity of this statement. + +The old man and Mrs. Zhao were stunned, but the old man reacted quickly and made up an excuse and said, "It must have been the white monkey who gave the baby to you when he saw that grandma was the most beautiful." + +"That's right, I'm the most beautiful. The white monkey also said that he likes me very much and will come to me in the future." Tian Sisi pouted her little mouth in a cute manner, which also paved the way for her to make money in the future. + +Mrs. Zhao hurriedly recited "Buddha" twice, and she knew that her granddaughter was a person of great fortune. Do you think the fortune is about to come? Tian Sisi peeled the banana, stuffed it into the mouths of the old man and Mrs. Zhao, and let them eat it. The old man and Mrs. Zhao had eaten this kind of thing called banana before in Beijing, and knew that their granddaughter must still have it, so they started eating it immediately. + +"What do you have in this?" Mrs. Zhao, who was eating a banana, was very curious about what her granddaughter's little bracelet contained. + +Tian Sisi took out a lot of things, including rice, flour, oil, salt, soy sauce, meat, fish, seafood, fruits, etc. Every time she took out something, Mrs. Zhao chanted "Buddha" and asked Tian Sisi to put it away quickly.

With these good things, she no longer has to worry about her family not having enough to eat. + +"Grandpa, mother-in-law, the white monkey said, give me these things, and we can eat meat every day from now on." + +"Keep these things away for grandma and don't take them out easily. These are grandma's blessings. If you take too many things, it will be bad for grandma. Just take them out a little at a time. Life at home is not difficult now." The old man rejected Tian Sisi's suggestion. He remembered the old saying that he had heard the old man say that you should use a little less for blessings. He was worried that if his granddaughter took out too many things, it would damage his granddaughter's blessings. + +"Yes, yes, your grandpa is right. Grandma should not bring out so many things like today." Mrs. Zhao agreed. + +Tian Sisi was so moved that she couldn't help but feel ashamed of her concealment, but she still resisted telling the truth. Instead, she acted coquettishly and said that White Monkey let her use it as she wanted.

Tian Liujin took a puff of cigarette and said to her with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you don't have to worry about Manlan. My eldest brother just can't bear to be embarrassed for a while. As time goes by, he wants to get rid of it. Don't worry, Manlan has so many brothers and sisters. If one of them reaches out to help, life will not be difficult." + +"Man Lan, this damn girl, has done something wrong on her own. Oh, you must suffer now! Just thinking about it makes me feel uncomfortable, angry and painful." Mrs. Zhao's life has been smooth sailing, but this little daughter is the only one that breaks her heart and makes her cry whenever she mentions it. + +"Mother, please don't feel bad. My little sister will live a good life." Tian Sisi reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of Mrs. Zhao's eyes. She really had an urge in her heart to tell the old lady who loved her that her three grandchildren would be very promising in the future, and her daughter would also live a very comfortable life in her old age. + +"A'nan is so good, then your sister-in-law can borrow her good words from her." Li Yuedi smiled and livened up the atmosphere. + +"It will definitely happen, and we will all live a good life in the future." Tian Sisi said seriously. She was not telling lies. After the reform and opening up in her previous life, Suicheng developed very quickly. The Tian family was smart and everyone developed very well. Among them, Tian Xinhua was the best. According to Zhong Juying, Tian Xinhua seemed to have made his fortune by running a clothing factory, and later he got into real estate. In short, the business was very big, so the rest of the Tian family lived well under Tian Xinhua's care. + +The little girl's serious look made everyone in the room laugh. Everyone laughed and felt very happy. They all said that children's words are the most effective, especially Ah Nan, who has always brought blessings. People in the room inexplicably believed Tian Sisi's words, and suddenly felt that the future life was bright. Ah Nan was right, they would definitely live a good life in the future. + +In this era of material poverty, political turmoil, and gray colors, everyone cannot see the future, and they do not know when they will be able to have a full meal without any scruples, when they will be able to talk and laugh whenever they want. Even the old man did not know that as early as the early 1960s, the old man was keenly aware of the undercurrent in Beijing. At that time, he had already begun to intend to quit, but it was the old man's words that really prompted him to make up his mind. + +This old man was the one who treated Tian Sisi. In 1960, he went back to his hometown to celebrate the New Year and had a meal with this old man. The two had a pleasant conversation. After the meal, the old man gave him a message, "When you advance, you advance; when you retreat, you retreat. The time has come." + +This sentence kept the old man awake all night. He thought of some of the things that had happened in the army during this period. Thinking about the old man's words, his heart was mixed. However, the old man who had not slept all night still made the decision to withdraw. When he returned to Beijing, he discussed the withdrawal with several life and death brothers. Several brothers were unwilling. They felt that they had finally conquered the country and it was time to show their ambitions. How could he withdraw? + +The helpless old man had no choice but to desert himself. He was not afraid of death, but if something happened to him, what would happen to the old woman and the children at home? Sure enough, just a few years after he returned, several people in his faction had troubles one after another. The old man also inquired afterward, but he did not find out where his brothers were sent. The children in the family were also scattered, and there was no news. Although Mrs. Zhao also felt sorry for those families, she was most grateful. Fortunately, the old man escaped early. + +The old man huddled in Yuequan Village listened to the radio every day, hoping to hear some information about his former colleagues, but the news every day disappointed him, and gradually he lost confidence in the future. That's all, after fighting bloody battles for most of his life, he was lucky to die peacefully in his hometown, lying with his parents and brothers. + +But today, when he heard his granddaughter's childish words, the old man suddenly felt something in his heart. He came out and asked, "Ah, do you know how long it will take before we can live a good life?" + +The old man asked the question very seriously, and Tian Sisi answered very seriously, "It's going to be almost there, in about five or six years." + +The words of the old man and the young boy made everyone laugh. The grandfather and grandson really took it seriously! According to them, life will not get better even in another fifteen or six years, and they don’t know if they will live to see that day! + +After hearing Tian Sisi's answer, the old man went back to listen to the radio with a smile. He seemed to be much younger. He even hummed "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" and looked extremely happy. + +ps: Thanks to I Love Myself xx, Fat Girl 0915, and mimoca, thank you!

The pig at home couldIt is the lifeblood of the family. Every spring, her father Zhong Liangcai borrows money to buy a baby pig, raises it for a year, and then sells it whole during the Chinese New Year in order to get a whole lot of money. The money from the pig sale is used by the family's bank in the second year, and all expenses have to be raised from the pig. + +So this pig was the second uncle of their family, and his status was higher than hers. Zhong Yuying kept stuffing firewood into the stove, and the jumping firelight made her thin and white face blush, which was really beautiful, but Zhong Yuying's expression at this moment destroyed that blush. + +Zhong Yuying had a sullen face and looked at the stove with open eyes. It had been almost a week and that fool Tian Zhaodi hadn't come to her yet. Did she have to come to her on her own initiative? Zhong Yuying didn't want to go to the Tian family at all, mainly because the Tian family didn't give her a good look. This felt like a slight to Zhong Yuying, who was born a middle peasant, but had always had a high self-esteem. + +But it's not a problem to sit and wait like this any longer. Dad has asked several times in the past few days why the Tian family's Zhao Di can't come to the house? Her father had always been very supportive of her friendship with Tian Zhaodi. Every time Tian Zhaodi came to her house, her father and mother were so enthusiastic that they would take out the good food at home and feed it to that idiot Tian Zhaodi. They would never think of giving it to their daughter. + +However, because of her good relationship with Tian Zhaodi, her status in the family has been much higher. Unlike the eldest sister and the younger sister, who cannot go to school and have to do heavy work in the fields every day, and are often beaten and scolded by her father. Relatively speaking, she is much more relaxed. She only needs to do the work at home and can go to school. Of courseThe purpose of her father letting her go to school was to make it easier for her to get along with Tian Zhaodi, but she didn't care. As long as she could go to school and become a cultural person, she was willing to get along with that fool Tian Zhaodi. In Zhong Yuying's heart, she really felt that the brainless Tian Zhaodi was not as good as one of her fingers. + +No, she couldn't let that fool Tian Zhaodi out of her hands. Zhong Yuying frowned and decided to go to Tian's house tomorrow and put down her body first to coax Tian Zhaodi back. Without Tian Zhaodi's food supply these days, her mouth was tasteless and she had no energy to work. Zhong Yuying, who had made up her mind, laughed with a rather proud expression, as if she was sure that Tian Zhaodi would return to her original behavior and let her control her. + +Tian Sisi didn't know yet that Zhong Yuying was thinking about her. She was taking a nap to look at the glutinous rice wine she brewed last time. The wine had already seeped out. Tian Sisi dipped some of it in her hand and put it in her mouth. Her eyes lit up. The wine was quite pure. It tasted better than the glutinous rice wine she bought at the mall in her previous life, and the alcohol content was also higher, about twenty degrees. + +What a genius I am! Tian Sisi, who was quite proud, poured out all the wine in the jar. Ten kilograms of rice produced about thirty kilograms of wine. Tian Sisi opened her eyes wide. Even if she didn't know how to make wine, she knew that this number was wrong. She had heard from a friend before that when rural people make their own rice wine, they usually produce ten to fifteen kilograms of wine from ten kilograms of rice. She didn't expect that she could produce so much in her first brew. + +Excitedly, Tian Sisi packed about 30 kilograms of wine in transparent glass bottles from the shopping mall. The color of the wine was not as clear as the rice wine she had seen in her previous life. It had a hint of amber, which was very beautiful. I think it had something to do with the koji fruit, and maybe the fact that so much wine was produced was also related to the koji fruit. + +Tian Sisi had harvested all the crops in the field. She also hoeed up a piece of the land, burned all the roots and stems in the field to fertilize the field with grass and wood ash, and sowed seeds again. This time she planted half of the more than 20 acres of land with rice and half with sorghum. Sorghum is the main material for brewing sorghum. Most men like to drink shochu, and this kind of liquor has a relatively large market. + +Tian Sisi took out ten kilograms of sorghum that had been harvested before. Still following the records in her notes, she steamed all the sorghum and spread it out to cool. Then she added a piece of koji pulp and mixed it well for fermentation. Since it was for the old man to drink, Tian Sisi also added a drop of agar liquid from the Qiong Pond. After the fermentation was complete, the fermented cooked sorghum was distilled. The steamed wine vapor was cooled and dripped out to become shochu. + +As far as Tian Sisi knows, 100 kilograms of sorghum can produce about 60 kilograms of wine. According to this ratio, her 10 kilograms of sorghum should be about 6 kilograms of soju. But in the end, Tian Sisi steamed 10 kilograms of wine. That is to say, one pound of sorghum can produce one pound of soju, and she got ten kilograms of soju. Now Tian Sisi was sure that the koji fruit could not only increase the success rate of wine production, but also increase the rate of wine production, which was basically about twice that of ordinary koji. + +What a treasure! Tian Sisi ran to the yard outside, looked at the dense fermented rice wine trees, and giggled, these are all money! Moreover, she also found that as long as she picked a koji fruit, a new one would grow in its place, which meant that the number of koji fruits in the yard would remain the same. Haha, God is not deceiving me! + +Tian Sisi ran out of the space, took the old man's empty wine bottle, and poured a bottle out. One bottle weighed about two or three kilograms. Tian Sisi held the wine bottle and found the old man who was listening to the radio. "Grandpa, let's see what good stuff I have." Tian Sisi shouted to the old man loudly. + +The old man was startled by her, turned around and patted her on the head, "Ghost girl, your grandpa is old and can't bear to scare you." + +Tian Sisi smiled and swung the bottle of wine in front of him. Sure enough, the old man's attention was attracted, "Ah, where does this wine come from?" + +"Grandpa Bai Yuan gave it to me. He also taught me how to make wine. Grandpa, drink it and see how it tastes. If it tastes good, I will brew it for you tomorrow." + +Tian Sisi poured a small glass, and the old man sniffed his nose vigorously. What a good wine! Smelling the aroma, he knew it was good wine. He couldn't wait to drink the wine in the glass. Afterwards, he kept smashing his mouth to signal his granddaughter to pour him some more. + +"No, the empress said, grandpa, you can't drink too much." Tian Sisi refused unceremoniously. The old man had old injuries, and Mrs. Zhao stipulated that the old man could only drink one or two glasses of wine a day, and never drink more. + +The old man's face immediately fell. Tian Sisi was not afraid at all and asked with a smile: "Grandpa, is this wine good?" + +"Yes, it's comparable to Moutai. Where did it come from?" + +"Grandpa Bai Yuan gave it to me. He said he would let me make wine and sell it in the future, and let grandpa and second grandpa drink it." Tian Sisi emphasized the last sentence, and as expected, the old man's eyes lit up even more. + +"That's a good sentiment, grandma. I don't have enough money for grandpa to spend on you. You brew some for grandpa first. Such a small cup a day is really not enough!" The old man carried out the mourning policy towards his granddaughter with a grimace. + +"No, I want to make money on my own. Grandpa, you can't drink too much. The queen said..." + +"Oh, what do you know, my mother-in-law? I remember when your grandfather and I drank two kilograms of soju and still killed the shit out of little Japan." + +Tian Sisi heard it funny, but she couldn't bear it when she saw the old man's rare greedy look. The old man's biggest hobby in his life is drinking, and this wine is also mixed with agar liquor. Drinking more should be fine, so she poured another glass, "Then you can only drink this one more. If you don't obey me, grandpa, I will never give you the wine I brew again." + +"Little housekeeper," the old man scolded with a smile. Seeing his granddaughter's stern face, he had to soften. "Okay, grandpa will listen to grandpa from now on. Grandpa will drink as much as grandma tells him to drink." + +Tian Sisi was then satisfied and handed the wine in her hand to the old man. The old man took the wine and was reluctant to finish it in one sip. He drank it in small sips and kept thinking about it. It was such a good wine.

Of course, the old man knew that his granddaughter's idea was good. Man Tong often traveled outside and had a wide range of routes. As long as he had good things, he would not worry about selling them, but making wine requires a lot of food. + +"Grandpa Baiyuan gave me a lot of food, as much as a mountain, and it's all here." Tian Sisi stretched out her left hand and pointed at the silver bracelet. + +The old man has recovered from his initial surprise, so he is not surprised that this small bracelet can hold as much food as a mountain. He thought about it and smiled and said, "Then you can brew it. When your uncle comes, you can tell him yourself, but you have to find a helper. Brewing is a laborious job. How can a little person like you handle it!" + +"How about looking for Brother Xinhua?" Tian Sisi's first choice was Tian Xinhua. Tian Manyin had to go to work, and Mrs. Zhao was old. She didn't want the old lady to suffer, so Tian Xinhua was the most suitable. + +"Xinhua is fine, but if Xinhua comes to make wine, you won't be able to hide your affairs from him. That's not right!" The old man frowned. Although Xinhua is a good boy, he also believes in his nephew's character, but this is related to his grandmother's life. He doesn't dare to try it. He has seen too many cases of people betraying their relatives in order to survive and get promoted. People's hearts are unpredictable! + +The old man was hesitant, and Tian Sisi was undecided. In the previous life, Tian Xinhua, her cousin, was indeed very kind to the original owner, but the original owner in the previous life did not have the treasure of Qiongyu Space, and she did not dare to test people's hearts with her own life. However, without help, it would be difficult for her to do it with her 10-year-old body. + +"Then why don't you let dad help?" + +"No, Grandma, you are still young and don't know how terrible people's hearts are. Let grandpa think about it and he will definitely come up with a good solution for Grandpa." Of course the old man believed in his son's character, but he didn't believe in Zhu Aiqing, the woman's favorite. It is his own biological child. He cannot guarantee whether Zhu Aiqing will do anything to hurt his adopted daughter for Donghua and Tsinghua if he knows that A'nan has such a treasure. Just the thought of A'nan being harmed makes the old man's heart tighten with discomfort. + +"Well, I listen to grandpa." Tian Sisi responded obediently. In fact, she herself was leaning towards Tian Xinhua. Of course she believed Tian Manyin, but if the couple slept in the same bed, Zhu Aiqing would definitely know it. + +Although Zhu Aiqing also loves her, she is not as good as Donghua and Tsinghua. Although it can't be seen on the surface, how could Tian Sisi, who has always been sensitive, not notice it? + +The old man thought for a long time, his eyes lit up, and he patted his forehead. He pulled Tian Sisi over and said, "Ana, grandpa has thought of a good idea. You should ask your Xinhua brother for help, but tell your Xinhua brother that these grains and brewing recipes were all obtained by grandpa, so that your Xinhua brother will not suspect you." + +Tian Sisi's eyes suddenly turned red and she shook her head vigorously, "No, Grandpa, I don't want to make any money anymore. I just brew a little bit at home for Grandpa to drink. I don't need Brother Xinhua to help. Don't tell Brother Xinhua that you did it." + +Seeing his granddaughter's red eyes, the old man smiled happily. A'nan was a kind-hearted child, and it was right that he and the old woman loved her so much. However, he really thought that his idea was a good one, not only because of the wine making, but also for the things that A'nan would make from time to time in the future. He had to find a source for these things. Besides, he had an old bone, so what was he afraid of? + +"It's okay, grandpa. Grandpa is just taking precautions. Your brother Xinhua is not that kind of person. We have to believe in your brother Xinhua." The old man hugged his granddaughter's limp body to comfort her. + +If Tian Sisi was really a child, she might have believed the old man's words, but she was an adult with a mature soul, how could she be so easy to deceive? She snuggled into the old man's arms and shook her head, "I know Brother Xinhua is not a bad person, but I just don't want grandpa to say that. It's not good for grandpa." + +The old man and the young child were in a stalemate, and no one was willing to let go. In the end, the old man got angry with a straight face, showed the power of the head of the family, and decided that the matter was settled. From now on, everything Tian Sisi brought out was said to be from the old man. Tian Sisi wanted to object, butShe also knew that if she continued to object, the old man would definitely become suspicious, so she had to accept the old man's proposal with a pout, but she also made up her mind that if something happened, she would definitely tell the truth. At worst, she would hide in the space and no one would be able to find her. + +"Grandpa, Grandpa White Ape said this wine is immortal wine. Drinking it can make you live a long life. Don't give it to others." Tian Sisi reminded the old man not to entertain guests with this wine. + +The old man also felt something at this time. His body was warm, and waves of heat flowed out of his body. It was like taking a hot bath. It was very comfortable. The places where he had been injured before were also swollen and numb. It was an indescribable feeling. I didn't expect that just two small glasses of wine would have such a big effect. It was really a fairy wine! + +He quickly put the wine bottle into the box. This was a treasure that even money could not buy! In the evening, I asked my second brother to have a drink together. The second brother has aged too fast in recent years and needs to be taken care of. Tian Sisi looked funny and whispered: "Grandpa, Grandpa Bai Yuan said you can't drink too much of this wine. You can only drink two cups a day at most." + +"I know, two cups a day, right?" + +Tian Sisi happily agreed and ran out to play with Jianguo and the others. The two brothers Jianguo and Weiguo didn't know what was going on these days. They kept working as soon as they opened their eyes. The woodshed was already full of firewood and the yard was swept clean. The two little guys just started working when they saw it. Mrs. Zhao said it many times but it didn't work, so she finally let them go. The two boys were not at ease! No problem, just let them do it. It's not a heavy job anyway, so let them do some of it, otherwise the two kids won't even dare to eat more. + +Jianguo and Weiguo were cutting pigweed outside. The two children worked very well together, while Donghua and Qinghua took Baoguo to play with them. Tian Sisi shook her head when she saw this. She did not bring the three Jianguo brothers back to do long-term work. + +"Jianguo, Weiguo, let's play together." + +"No, the work is not done yet." Jianguo shook his head. They had eaten and drank well these days, and the three brothers' faces looked much better. Their faces were a little fleshy, and because they were dressed warmly, their faces and hands were not as blue as before. + +"Isn't the pigweed almost finished?" Tian Sisi walked up to them and saw that there was not much pigweed left on the ground. + +"After cutting the pigweed, we have to cook it. Sister Sisi, why don't you play with Wei Guo, Donghua and the others?" Jianguo, like a little adult, arranged for his two younger brothers to play. + +"No, I want to help my elder brother with the work." Wei Guo shook his head and refused. + +Tian Sisi was immediately ashamed. She brought back two hard-working little bees, but they made her even lazier. Even the 6-year-old Weiguo knew how to work, and she was an adult in her thirties! Alas, she couldn't even compete with a 6-year-old kid. Tian Sisi knelt down with a grimace and helped Wei Guo hug the pigweed. + +Jianguo immediately panicked. How could he let his cousin do such rough work?"Sister Sisi, please stop, this is a dirty job, please don't get your clothes dirty." + +"It's okay. Let's take the time to finish it together. Then we can go play together. The more people we have, the faster we can do it." + +However, Tian Sisi explained well how it was not helpful. Either there was too much water or too much chaff. Jianguo did not dare to tell her, so he could only watch his cousin messing around. Mrs. Zhao came into the kitchen and saw a mess on the stove. Jianguo's face next to him almost wrinkled into a little old man, while A-nan was busy on the stove. + +"Oh, my little ancestor, what are you doing? Look at how you made the stove. Come out, look at your clothes. They are covered in dust. Go and change them quickly." When Mrs. Zhao saw her granddaughter covered in gray, she became angry and raised her hand to slap her down. However, when she saw her smiling pretty face, she withdrew her slap and gave Tian Sisi a heavy tap on her forehead. + +"You're a debt collector. You're really helping me more and more. Okay, Jianguo, you and your sister Sisi can go out and play together. I'll cook the pig food." + +Tian Sisi made a face, pulled Jianguo, who was still hesitating, and ran out quickly. When she ran to the door, she remembered to change her cotton-padded jacket. She hurriedly ran back to the room to change clothes. Looking at her cousin who was like a headless fly, Jianguo really felt that her cousin was so unlike a girl. Whose girl is 10 years old and can't do any work at all!

Tian Sisi was too embarrassed to discuss winemaking with Tian Xinhua. SheFor a few days, he helped Jianguo gather firewood and cut pig grass. Although most of it was causing trouble, he was still very busy. Zhu Aiqing was very satisfied with it. It seemed that Jianguo had benefits from living here, at least he helped his grandmother to work. + +It rained a little last night, and the ground was muddy. Tian Sisi didn't want to go outside to play. She sat bored in the room and turned over the fields with Tsinghua University. She took a long rope, tied a knot, and turned out a pattern with her hands, which was a bit like a field, so it was called field turning. Then the other person also turned over with both hands to turn out another pattern. If the method is right, you can keep turning like this. It is usually a game that little girls love to play. + +"Sister Sisi, there is a woman outside looking for you." Wei Guo, who was weeding the vegetable field outside, ran in and shouted to Tian Sisi. + +"Who?" + +"Brother Donghua said his name is Zhong Yuying, and he is not a good person." Wei Guo conveyed Tian Donghua's original words accurately. + +Tian Sisi laughed dumbly, how much Donghua didn't like to see this person named Zhong Yuying! But why did Zhong Yuying come to her home? Humph, the weasel had no good intentions in paying Rooster a New Year greeting. He must have been unable to sit still when he saw that he didn't come to her door to take advantage of her. She was really shameless. Tian Sisi sneered and put away the rope, got up and got ready to meet the mistress who had succeeded in her previous life. + +Zhong Yuying stood outside Tian's house with a stiff smile. Mrs. Zhao went to Tian Liujin's house to make cloth shoes with Li Yuedi. Tian's family has a large population, and they make dozens of pairs of shoes every year. They all rely on two old ladies and other women to sew them out stitch by piece in their spare time. Although the supply and marketing cooperative also sells rubber shoes and leather shoes, a pair of rubber shoes costs two or three yuan, which can buy four or five kilograms of meat, and leather shoes have never been thought of. + +The supply and marketing cooperatives do sell them, but from the New Year's Eve to the New Year's Eve, there is a thick layer of dust on the shoes, and no one buys them. I heard that a pair costs more than ten yuan, and the money I earn from living and working is not enough to buy several pairs of leather shoes! That's why women in rural areas are always busy with their hands whenever they have free time, either picking up shoe soles or twisting hemp ropes. + +Although Mrs. Zhao has money to buy leather shoes, she feels that it is not cost-effective to spend more than ten yuan on a pair of uncomfortable leather shoes, so she never buys them. The old man is the only one in the family who has a pair of cowhide shoes issued by the army. He rarely wears them a few times throughout the year. Then there is Tian Sisi. Tian Mantong loves his niece and will buy Tian Sisi leather shoes whenever he gets the chance. Mrs. Zhao has said it several times, but Tian Mantong still insists on his own way. + +So Mrs. Zhao went to Li Yuedi's place after lunch today. The two sisters chatted about home life while making shoes, and they didn't feel bored. Zhong Yuying only came to see Mrs. Zhao when she went out. You must know that the person she is most afraid of is Mrs. Zhao.

Why didn't she think of it? It's early spring, and as long as it rains, wild mushrooms bloom.

She had just thought of making dumplings filled with mushrooms from wild mushrooms, and also thought of many dishes made with mushrooms. When she thought of the deliciousness of mushrooms, her mouth was about to flow. At that moment, she immediately shouted to Donghua and Jianguo: "Let's go up the mountain to pick mushrooms." + +Donghua's expression changed drastically. Is Sister A going to reconcile with Zhong Yuying? Will sister give all the delicious food to Zhong Yuying as before? During this period, Tian Sisi would take some biscuits or candies from the space every day, tear off the outer packaging and distribute them to several brothers. This made the three brothers Donghua, Tsinghua and Jianguo become very affectionate with Tian Sisi. But now that Tian Sisi was getting involved with Zhong Yuying again, Donghua's heart suddenly became cold. + +The corners of Zhong Yuying's mouth were slightly curved, and she tilted her head slightly to show a provocative smile to Donghua. Donghua looked even more irritated. She really wanted to drive Zhong Yuying out of her home, but Sister A must be friends with Zhong Yuying. He could catch up with the first grade of junior high school but not the fifteenth grade! + +Jianguo ran to the kitchen to get a basket when Tian Sisi called to collect mushrooms on the mountain. When he took out two baskets, he saw that Donghua was still standing there and was very angry. He didn't understand what was going on, so he had to stand and look at Donghua and then Tian Sisi. + +Zhong Yuying said with a smile: "Sisi, I know where the fungi are big and delicious, I will take you there." + +As she spoke, she reached for Tian Sisi's hand. Tian Sisi turned slightly and then remembered that she had forgotten about the little poisonous snake in front of her. She immediately said with a straight face, "Zhong Yuying, why haven't you left yet?" + +"..." Zhong Yuying was stunned for a moment, "Sisi, didn't we agree to go up the mountain to pick mushrooms together?" + +"Who said I want to go picking mushrooms with you? I have so many younger brothers accompanying me. Besides, you love to take advantage of me so much. I don't know how much I'm going to cheat you out of when I go to the mountains with you later? I'm not as thoughtful as you." Tian Sisi didn't save face for Zhong Yuying at all, and he didn't intend to be a good friend with her anyway. + +Dong Wahton felt physically and mentally comfortable. Sister A really stopped being friends with Zhong Yuying. How great! In the future, those delicious food will not be cheated by Zhong Yuying (by the way, children of Donghua, do you only care about food?). + +After Tian Sisi finished speaking, she didn't care about Zhong Yuying's stiff face. She took a basket and prepared to go out. After thinking about it, she shouted to the old man hoeing the soil in the backyard, "Grandpa, I went to the mountains to collect mushrooms with Donghua Jianguo and the others." + +The old man's angry voice came from the backyard, "Be careful and watch the road, don't fall." + +"I understand, Grandpa, just wait until your granddaughter brings back a big basket of mushrooms to make as a snack for you!" + +Tian Sisi changed into a pair of rain boots while talking, and asked Donghua and the others to change their shoes. Donghua saw Zhong Yuying standing in the yard with an embarrassed look on her face, neither staying nor leaving. He turned around and made a face at Zhong Yuying, and even stuck out his tongue deliberately. + +Zhong Yuying's eyes were filled with tears, and she was crying, "Sisi, are you still blaming me? I was really busy when you were sick and couldn't spare the time to see you. It's my fault. Please stop blaming me, okay? Didn't you say you wanted to be a lifelong good friend with me?" + +"I want to be your best friend for life so that you can lie to me for the rest of your life? When have I ever said this before? Am I that stupid?" + +Donghua, who was standing next to him, was secretly amused. Sister, you were always that stupid before. + +"Sisi, you insisted on giving me those things. I didn't lie to you." Zhong Yuying's face changed slightly, and she squeezed out a tear and hung it on her cheek. I felt pity for her, but now there were only Tian Sisi and a few little kids in the yard. They didn't know how to show mercy to her. Everyone looked at Zhong Yuying with boredom. + +Jianguo yelled at her, "Why are you so annoying? Sister Sisi told me not to go to the mountains with you to collect mushrooms, so why are you still staying at our house? And you're crying like we've bullied you. You're really sick." + +"That's right, Zhong Yuying, you should just go back and forth as you please. No one welcomes you here. Don't come to me again." Tian Sisi said angrily and asked several younger brothers to leave the yard.

Unexpectedly, after Tian Zhaodi fell ill, her brain seemed to be open. She was no longer the silly and easy-to-coax Tian Zhaodi before. No, she must find a way to regain control of Tian Sisi. Without Tian Sisi as a friend, her father would never let her study again. She was not willing to be like the elder sisters, facing the loess and back to the sky all day long, and hanging out with those dirty men. + +She must continue to study. Only by studying will she have the opportunity to leave this small mountain village and marry a good man. She must not stay in this small mountain village as an illiterate peasant woman, nor marry a rude and dirty rural man like most girls in the village. + +"Sisi, you have too many misunderstandings about me. I will come to see you next time, so I'll leave first." Zhong Yuying reluctantly found a step for herself, turned around and left in a hurry. Now Zhong Yuying is not as shameless and mean as when she was a mistress in her previous life, so after Tian Sisi and Donghua Jianguo said a few words, she couldn't hold back her face. + +Tian Sisi was too lazy to pay attention to Zhong Yuying. She was not the original owner in her previous life, and her status was much higher than Zhong Yuying's, so she didn't need to take Zhong Yuying too seriously. She closed the courtyard door and walked up the mountain with a bunch of small carrot heads. + +As soon as the Jingzhe comes, everything revives. The trees on the mountain all sprouted green buds, and the wild vegetables on the ground also showed their heads. Tian Sisi was surprised to find that a wild peach tree actually took out light red flower buds, and some of them were still half-open, like a shy little girl. It would be great if there was a camera to capture the beautiful scenery at this moment! + +Tian Sisi's desire to make money is getting stronger and stronger. If it doesn't work, she will go to Brother Xinhua tonight and discuss winemaking with him first. After the spring plowing is over, they can start. + +"Sister Sisi, you can pick shepherd's purse now! There are also malan heads, and there are a lot of fungi. Let's pick more and let grandma dry it in the sun. We can save it for the New Year." Jianguo was like a little adult, even the New Year's food was arranged. + +Tian Sisi came back to her senses and found that several little ones were starting to pick wild vegetables. Only she, the oldest one, was still standing still. She couldn't help but blush, and hurriedly knelt down to pick wild vegetables with Jianguo and the others. It was still early spring, and the heads of shepherd's purse and malan had just come out, so they only picked half of the basket and left it. It would be better to wait until they grow up before picking them. + +Wild mushrooms are quite big, white, brown, and brown, and they are like small umbrellas. Regarding wild mushrooms, Tian Sisi only knows that brightly colored mushrooms are poisonous mushrooms, so she picks some mushrooms that are light in color and fat. When she sees Xiao Baoguo sometimes picking beautiful mushrooms and putting them in the basket, she will pick them out and throw them away. + +Tian Sisi took advantage of a few little ones to pick wild vegetables and took the opportunity to put a dozen eggs in a nearby bush, deliberately leading Jianguo to go there. Sure enough, after a while, Jianguo's cry of joy was heard. He excitedly loaded the dozen eggs in a basket with surprise on his little face. + +"Jianguo is so awesome. He actually found so many wild eggs and asked my wife to scramble the eggs with mushrooms to eat at night." Tian Sisi praised them without hesitation. She also did this on purpose. The little guy Jianguo always thought that the three brothers lived and ate here for free. They didn't dare to pick up more vegetables when eating. They stayed busy at other times and were as busy as a spinning top. If he picked up the eggs now, maybe he would feel that he had contributed to the family. + +The others were also very happy, and one by one they came up with ideas on how to eat these eggs. Jianguo hugged the bamboo basket tightly, feeling very excited. He could also earn food for his grandfather's family. In the future, he would come to the mountain often to see if he could pick more wild eggs, so that he and his brothers would not eat for free. + +Tian Sisi saw that the two baskets were almost full, so she called the little ones home. Now she is the king of children, because she gives them delicious food every day. The few little ones especially listen to Tian Sisi's words, so although they still want to play on the mountain, they still follow Tian Sisi down the mountain obediently. + +On the way back, I met Zhong Yuying and some other strange girls, all in their teens, including Zhong Meiying, but she was walking far behind and was not very close to the people in front. Zhong Yuying was joking with the girls next to her. When she saw Tian Sisi coming down the mountain, her face froze and she wanted to say hello, but she was afraid that Tian Sisi would prevent her from getting off the stage. Now Zhongjiawan didn't know that Tian Sisi had fallen out with her. + +"Yuying, isn't that Tian Zhaodi? Why don't you say hello to her?" The person who spoke was Zhong Anmei, Zhong Yubai's youngest daughter. She is 13 years old. She usually dislikes Zhong Yuying's coquettishness, so she deliberately shouted loudly at this moment. + +"Anmei, you called me wrong. Tian Zhaodi's name is Tian Sisi now. Didn't Mei Ying go to the house to talk to her last time?" Another girl smiled and reminded Zhong Anmei that she was Zhong Lanying who had built a snowman with Tian Sisi some time ago. These girls were all girls from Zhongjiawan. Zhong Lianying and Zhong Juying were also there. They made an appointment to come to the mountain to pick mushrooms. + +Zhong Anmei snorted, patted her head, and smiled sheepishly at Tian Sisi. She was a very bright girl, with a slender figure and very bright eyes, as if they were burning with fire. Tian Sisi was very fond of this girl at a glance. She felt that someone with such eyes would definitely not be the kind of girl with a rich family. + +Zhong Yuying smiled awkwardly, hating her to death. This Zhong Anmei was really nosy, so Tian Sisi pretended not to see Zhong Yuying and walked straight up to Zhong Anmei and smiled at her. She also said hello to Zhong Lanying and others, pointed to the direction she came down from just now and said, "There are a lot of fungi there, you can go and have a look." + +Zhong Anmei and the others were a little flattered. Tian Sisi had never greeted people with bad backgrounds like them before, but she was so kind today? The sun really came out in the west, and wasn't she and Zhong Yuying good friends? Why did Tian Sisi ignore Zhong Yuying? + +Zhong Lanying and the others were not too surprised because they had made a snowman together a few days ago. They also said thank you to Tian Sisi. Tian Sisi smiled and said nothing. When she saw the ragged Zhong Juying, her heart hurt. Although she knew that this Zhong Juying was not her biological mother in the previous life, she couldn't help but want to pay attention to this Zhong Juying. + +Maybe my mother in her previous life was also in such pain when she was young, right? Tian Sisi made up her mind to help Zhong Juying, for no other reason than that she had the same name as her mother and had the same experience. Helping her was just a piece of cake for her, but Zhong Juying didn't have to live so hard. + +Tian Sisi also said hello to Zhong Meiying and thanked her for promoting her new name. Zhong Meiying smiled sheepishly. She got two such beautiful hair flowers, but she was just helping out with running errands and did not deserve to be thanked. Tian Sisi liked Zhong Meiying's simplicity and invited her to visit her home when she was free. + +Zhong Meiying nodded excitedly. Because of the old man's relationship, the Tian family was the holy land of Yuequan Village, and ordinary people could not enter the Tian family's threshold. In the eyes of ordinary villagers like them, the Tian family standing at the foot of Yuequan Mountain was high and they were from two different worlds. Therefore, being able to go to the Tian family as a guest was considered a great honor. Even when talking in the village, it could be used to add luster to one's face. + +Zhong Yuying looked at Zhong Meiying bitterly. She knew that Tian Sisi would not break off the relationship with her for no reason. It turned out that it was Zhong Meiying, a cheap girl, who worshiped her. It seemed that her father was right. People really can't be judged by their appearance. Zhong Meiying was just like her father Zhong Shancai. She has a simple face and a cunning heart. Otherwise, why would her family have become middle peasants, while Zhong Meiying's family has been poor peasants? Although there is a word difference, her and Zhong Meiying's status are completely different. If she hadn't been sweet-talking and good at conduct, she would have been disliked by everyone like Zhong Juying. + +"Zhong Yuying, Tian Sisi doesn't want to see you anymore, or why should he ignore you?" Zhong Anmei laughed at Zhong Yuying. + +Zhong Yuying pretended not to hear. She walked to the front first and knelt down to pick the mushrooms. Zhong Anmei snorted and walked to the other side to pick the mushrooms. My mother-in-law liked fresh mushrooms the most, so she wanted to pick more to give her mother-in-law some nutrition. + +Everyone else also thought about it. Just now, Tian Sisi said hello to everyone present, even Zhong Anmei and the others who were rich peasants, but they didn't even look at Zhong Yuying. Everyone exchanged looks. It seemed that Anmei was right. Tian Sisi no longer wants to see Zhong Yuying, and everyone is gloating. This Zhong Yuying relies on her friendship with the little princess Tian Sisi, and usually interacts with them with a bit of arrogance.

Of course, Mrs. Zhao, who dotes on her granddaughter, agreed without saying a word. + +During the meal, Tian Sisi specifically asked about Zhong Juying, "Grandpa, mother-in-law, father, mother, that Zhong Juying looks so pitiful. In such a cold day, she is only wearing single pants with holes in them, and the shoes on her feet are single shoes. The big toes in front are exposed. It makes me feel cold just looking at her." + +When Mrs. Zhao heard her granddaughter mentioning this Zhong Juying, she couldn't remember who it was for a moment, but Zhu Aiqing reminded her, "It's the little girl of Zhong Shigen and Zhao Manxiu. Her family is a rich farmer, and her life is very hard. She often eats one meal without finishing the next, and she can't even get a cotton-padded jacket out of the house." + +"Zhao Manxiu? Zhao Manxiu from the same village as me? Isn't this Zhao Manxiu very capable? Why is he living so hard?" Mrs. Zhao was somewhat impressed. Speaking of which, Zhao Manxiu was a relative of hers. Zhao Manxiu's mother-in-law was her third cousin, so Zhao Manxiu had to call her cousin. + +Zhu Aiqing was the women's team leader in the village, so she knew very well about the family's feuding parents. She sighed and told the family's situation, "Theoretically, this family's life will not be too miserable. Although they are rich farmers, Zhong Shigen and Zhao Manxiu are both hard-working people. They only have three children in the family. The eldest daughter got married last year to a widower from a neighboring village. The second son is the same age as Shouhua, and the youngest is Zhong Juying." + +"A few years ago, Zhong Shigen got tuberculosis (tuberculosis) for some unknown reason. Not only could he not earn any work points, he had to take medicine every day. Later, he couldn't afford the medicine anymore. Zhao Manxiu didn't know where he got the folk remedy, so he made two "clear urine eggs" (cooked with the urine of boys) every day. Eggs, which can cure lung diseases and waist diseases) were given to Zhong Shigen. All the eggs from the chickens at home were eaten by Zhong Shigen. However, I heard that the effect was not bad. Zhong Shigen did not suffer from the disease, but he could not do heavy work.

She didn't expect that she didn't even know that her cousin's daughter was having such a hard life. I'm really sorry for my cousin! + +Tian Sisi was overjoyed because she could use her relatives as an excuse, so she immediately said, "My queen, please stop crying. How about I stay and give some of my old clothes and shoes that I don't wear to Zhong Juying?" + +"No, her family is a rich farmer. If you get too close to her family, people will make a topic of it." Zhu Aiqing objected immediately. + +"Then I'll give it away secretly and don't let others know.

Mrs. Zhao wiped her tears and said angrily: "It's not a big deal. We are innocent people. What are we afraid of? We adults can't come forward, so we asked A'nan to send it off secretly. Even if someone discovers it, it can be said that the child is ignorant." + +Tian Sisi agreed with a smile, and Zhu Aiqing sighed. Her parents-in-law did not object, so it was useless for her to sing the opposite. She had to repeatedly tell Tian Sisi to be careful and careful, and never let others take advantage of the conversation. + +Mrs. Zhao is an impatient person. She went to put away her old clothes and shoes as soon as she finished her meal. She didn't know that her niece was not doing well in the past, but now she knows that she can't just sit idly by. She is not afraid of others saying that she associates with rich farmers. Because of her special status as an old man, Mrs. Zhao is very confident. + +Tian Sisi also went back to her room and found an old cotton jacket and trousers worn by the original owner, as well as a pair of old cotton shoes. Looking at Zhong Juying's clothes, there were holes everywhere. Where could she keep warm? Mrs. Zhao also found some old clothes upstairs, wrapped them in a furoshiki, and asked Tian Sisi to send them to Zhong Juying's house. + +Tian Sisi took the order and left. Before leaving, Mrs. Zhao shouted, "Don't forget to bring back the furoshiki!" + +"Got it!" + +Tian Sisi went to find Tian Xinhua with a bag of clothes. She didn't even know where Zhong Juying's home was? Besides, she still wanted to discuss winemaking with Tian Xinhua. Tian Xinhua had just finished eating, and Tian Sisi didn't go in either. She waved outside, and Tian Xinhua slipped out. Seeing her carrying a big bag, he looked at her with a smile. + +Tian Sisi didn't hide it, she just said she wanted to send some clothes to Zhong Juying's family. Of course Tian Xinhua knew who Zhong Juying was. Zhong Juying's elder brother Zhong Shouliang and fourth brother Tian Shouhua were the same age. However, Zhong Shouliang had dropped out of school a long time ago and was now the main labor force in the family. He was a young man who could endure hardships, but he was unlucky, otherwise he could have done a great job. + +Tian Xinhua didn't understand how A'nan got involved with Zhong Juying. Didn't she and Zhong Yuying always have a good relationship? + +"Why did Grandma think of helping Zhong Juying?" + +"I just feel very pitiful about her. I think she is the worst dressed in our village. Her whole body is covered with frostbite, she is trembling and shrunken, and she feels uncomfortable just looking at her." + +"Then you said Zhong Yuying was pitiful before! Why don't you help Zhong Yuying now?" + +"No more help, Zhong Yuying and I have broken off our friendship." Tian Sisi replied simply. + +Now Tian Xinhua was really surprised. At first he thought it was Tian Sisi who said something angry, but seeing the serious expression on her face, it didn't look like it was fake. No wonder she hadn't seen A'nan and Zhong Yuying together in the past few days. That's fine. Zhong Yuying was too thoughtful, and A'nan would only be plotted by being with her. + +Tian Xinhua touched Tian Sisi's head happily. The little girl has become a lot more sensible these days. She is not as angry as before. Tian Sisi turned her head and glared at him, "Why are you touching my head? I'm not Dahuang." + +The gaping teeth and cracked mouth looked a bit like rhubarb. Tian Xinhua couldn't help but touched Tian Sisi's head again. It was smooth and soft and felt good to the touch. The two of them came to Zhong Juying's house in a noisy manner. + +Zhong Juying's home is located at the outermost part of Zhongjiawan. The dozen or so houses in a circle originally belonged to her family. However, after being classified as rich peasants, most of the houses in Zhongjuying's home were given to poor farmers in Zhongjiawan. They only lived in three houses in their own home, and the three outside were just convenient for Tian Sisi and Tian Xinhua. + +Tian Xinhua seemed to be very familiar with this place. He found Zhong Juying's house and knocked gently on the door. After a while, there was movement. Zhong Juying opened the door with confusion on her face. It was rare for anyone to visit their house. When she saw the smiling Tian Sisi, she was so surprised that she almost screamed. + +Tian Sisi wanted to say something to her, but Tian Xinhua quickly threw the bag to Zhong Juying and whispered: "Don't tell others that we gave it to you." + +After saying that, he pulled Tian Sisi back. After walking for a while, Tian Sisi patted her head and said, "Your Majesty told me to take the furoshiki back. It's all your fault. Otherwise, how could I have forgotten it?" + +Tian Xinhua sighed. Sometimes he really couldn't understand that Mrs. Zhao and Li Yuedi had clearly given away the big ones, so why did they still care about the small part of the furoshiki? He took Tian Sisi's hand and walked back, only to see Zhong Juying still standing at the door, looking at the big bag in a daze. + +Seeing them coming back, Zhong Juying reflexively handed the bag back to them. Tian Sisi said funnyly: "Take out the clothes inside and return the furoshiki to me." + +Zhong Juying immediately blushed and hurriedly ran inside. Soon she ran out again, holding the furoshiki in her hand. Zhong Juying returned the furoshiki to Tian Sisi and said gratefully: "Thank you!" + +"You're welcome, just don't tell others that we gave it to you." Tian Sisi understood why Zhong Juying was so excited. Before she came, she took the opportunity to put a dozen eggs and a bag of sugar into the bag. It is good for malnourished people to eat more sugar. In addition, she also put a few rice cakes, which were taken from the space.

She looked at the pile of things on the table, her eyes were red, but she still took out a cotton-padded jacket from Tian Sisi and asked her little daughter to put it on quickly. She has been so busy these years that she didn't even have time to make clothes for her children. Besides, there was no extra cloth and cotton at home. Several children were neither warm nor well-fed, especially Juying, who had never worn a cotton-padded jacket since she was born. She was such a useless mother! + +Zhong Juying rarely put on a small floral cotton-padded jacket. The warm and soft cotton-padded jacket covered her whole body with warmth.

Zhong Juying happily put on warm clothes and shoes, and ran to the back room to show her father Zhong Shigen. + +Zhong Shouliang came back covered in cold weather, carrying a fish basket in his hand. He poured the eels inside into the bucket to raise. There were about ten eels, each as thick as a thumb. When Zhong Shouliang was not working at night, he would go to the field to catch eels or fish in the Weinnan River. In recent years, thanks to his subsidies, the family would not starve to death. + +Zhong Shouliang is a tall young man with a straight high nose, clear lines on his face and two slightly downward curved lips, showing the strength of a young man.

Zhong Shouliang arranged it in a clear and logical manner, and Zhao Manxiu nodded repeatedly. + +Zhong Juying happily ran out of the back room with a smile on her face. Just now her father said that she looked very handsome in these clothes. Little girls love beauty, but the hardship of life meant that she had no beautiful clothes to wear, and her hair was always messy, making her look sloppy and ugly. In fact, as long as Zhong Juying tidies up, her appearance is no worse than Zhong Yuying. + +Seeing the happy Zhong Juying, Zhao Manxiu and Zhong Shouliang also smiled, adding a touch of warmth to this cold home, "Juying, my mother will cook rice cakes for you tomorrow morning." Zhao Manxiu said with a bright smile. + +"No, I won't eat it. The rice cakes are for my father, mother, and eldest brother. Sweet potato porridge is enough for me." Zhong Juying looked at the white rice cakes on the table, swallowed her saliva, and firmly rejected Zhao Manxiu's proposal. Her father was not in good health, and her eldest brother and mother had to work in the fields, so they needed to eat rice cakes even more. + +"We'll all eat tomorrow, Juying.

Tian Xinhua couldn't stand it, so he just carried her on his back and left. + +"Brother Xinhua, do you want to make money?" + +"Of course I have." Tian Xinhua dreams of making money to get out of the current predicament. Although his family has enough food and clothing, it is limited to this. He is not satisfied with the current situation. He wants to earn more money, and he wants to get out of Yuequan Village and visit big cities like Suicheng and Shanghai. Be a city dweller and eat national food. + +Considering that Tian Xinhua is currently 13 years old, his highest ideal is limited to this. Being a city dweller and eating the national food is his biggest life goal now. + +"I also want to make money, Brother Xinhua, shall we make money together?" Tian Sisi said while lying on Tian Xinhua's back. + +Tian Xinhua turned around and sneered, "How do you earn it? Besides, don't you have enough money to spend? Could it be that you were deceived by Zhong Yuying again?" + +"No, I still have all the money. I just want to earn money to buy a camera and take photos of myself. A beautiful girl like me must take more photos as souvenirs. When I grow up, I can take them out and look at them often." + +Tian Xinhua was amused by Tian Sisi's serious tone. Grandma really dared to think that a camera was said to cost more than a hundred. She was just a little yellow-haired girl. She still wanted to earn money to buy a camera by herself? What a daydream! + +Tian Sisi was so angry that she twisted his neck several times and said angrily: "I'm serious, I have already planned. We will make wine together, and let my uncle sell the wine for us. The three of us will share the money equally, so we can make money." + +"Brewing? Do you know how to make wine? Besides, even if you know how to make wine, do you have food?" Tian Xinhua didn't care. In his opinion, A'nan was daydreaming again. Last year, she was clamoring to go to Xiaobaihua to learn opera. + +"Of course I can." Tian Sisi arrogantly lowered her head, biting Tian Xinhua's ear and whispered: "Not only can I make wine, but I also have many wine recipes and a lot of food. You will find out when you come home with me later. I have already brewed a bottle of wine for grandpa to drink! If I hadn't been weak, I wouldn't have asked you to help me!" + +Tian Xinhua then became serious. It looked like Grandma was not lying, "Where did the recipe and food come from?" + +"Grandpa got it. Alas, just come home with me and you'll find out." Tian Sisi twisted around pretending to be impatient. + +Tian Xinhua steadied himself, thinking that the eldest lady always sent some meat and grain and oil over the past few days, and the food at home had also gone up to several levels. It seemed that the grandfather and the grandmother had some secrets. Tian Xinhua did not intend to pursue the question, nor did he intend to tell the rest of the family. He knew that these secrets must be very important. If they were leaked, it might hurt the grandfather or the grandmother. He did not want to see either of them hurt. + +ps: Thank you to Doudouzui Little Children’s Shoes and other dear readers for their support! \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/09/eng_cont/i_0045.txt b/09/eng_cont/i_0045.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..93e73b53838e41a5798f071551e932fa95d1d388 --- /dev/null +++ b/09/eng_cont/i_0045.txt @@ -0,0 +1,65 @@ +Chapter 45 Cooperation. + +Zhu Aiqing seemed worried before going to bed.

Now that he was awake, he might as well get angry. He chuckled, turned around and hugged his wife. Not long after, he heard heavy breathing and tender moans. + +The busiest period of spring plowing has passed, and all that is left is some finishing work. After Tian Xinhua saw the bags full of sorghum, he stopped working in the fields and prepared to do a big job. The old man repeatedly told the two little guys that they must do it quietly and try not to let others know, and they should not brew too much at one time, lest the smell of alcohol escape too much and be smelled by the villagers. + +The old man thought carefully. How could Tian Xinhua and Tian Sisi not agree? When Mrs. Zhao heard that Bai Yuan asked her granddaughter to make wine, she immediately organized a room in the backyard. This room was originally intended to be used by Mrs. Zhao to cook pig food, but later she was only allowed to raise one pig, so Mrs. Zhao didn't use it and kept it empty. Now it is convenient for Tian Sisi and Tian Xinhua. + +Tian Sisi took out a lot of pastries and distributed them to Donghua Jianguo and the others, and asked a few little guys to collect firewood in the back mountain. Making wine requires a lot of firewood. Everything was ready. Tian Sisi, Tian Xinhua and other villagers went to work, and they started the wine making business. + +They did not dare to steam too much, and only steamed a hundred kilograms of sorghum at a time. Tian Sisi took out ten koji fruits. Seeing the surprised look on Tian Xinhua's face, Tian Sisi explained: "This is an excellent wine medicine, which can make more wine come out." + +Tian Xinhua has seen a lot of Tian Sisi's mysteries in the past few days, and Tian Xinhua has become accustomed to it. Moreover, he has determined that these wine recipes and food must be related to Ah Nan. Grandpa probably related these to himself in order to protect Ah Nan. This is good, it is better for people to think of Grandpa than to involve Grandpa. Tian Xinhua subconsciously thinks so. + +Although the old and the young did not discuss each other, they unanimously made the same choice to protect Tian Sisi. It must be said that this was Tian Sisi's luck. + +Tian Sisi told Tian Xinhua the steps of brewing wine. She was not a diligent person in the first place. As long as she taught Tian Xinhua, she would not have to do so much work in the future. Tian Xinhua didn't know that Tian Sisi treated him as a coolie. He only knew that A'nan told him these secret recipes without reservation. He was so moved that he was so moved that his eyes looked so "loving" that Tian Sisi turned into sugar. + +"Brother Xinhua, are you very touched? Don't be too touched. From now on, you will do all the work. I will just sit back and count the money." Tian Sisi stood up on tiptoes and patted Tian Xinhua's shoulder. + +Tian Xinhua smiled and said: "Okay, brother Xinhua will do the work, and grandma will count the money." + +So easy to talk to? If things were going according to the past, Tian Xinhua would definitely have ridiculed himself. What happened today? Tian Sisi glanced at Tian Xinhua suspiciously, something was really wrong. + +Tian Sisi didn't know that at this time, no matter what technology was, it was very confidential. It was usually passed down from father to son, and from son to grandson. From generation to generation, masters and disciples had to leave a hand, and each master kept a hand. Therefore, later on, many ancient crafts were lost. Tian Sisi didn't understand this. She only knew that to make herself comfortable, she had to teach an apprentice. Moreover, Tian Sisi believed in Tian Xinhua. If it were another person, she might not be so generous. + +The two put the mixed cooked sorghum into the vat for fermentation. Tian Sisi estimated that the fermentation time would take about a day, several times faster than ordinary wine. Tian Xinhua counted the large vats at home, and there were five or six of them, which Mrs. Zhao used to make pickles. After thinking about it, he simply steamed a few more pots of sorghum and used the remaining vats, so that he could steam the wine in one go tomorrow. + +Tian Xinhua tirelessly stirred the cooked sorghum with a wooden stick to make the cooked sorghum dissipate heat faster, while Tian Sisi lit a fire. Fortunately, she had lived in the countryside for a period of time in her previous life, so she could still use this kind of earthen stove. The dancing firelight illuminated her tender white face, like red clouds. Tian Xinhua happened to look up and saw Tian Sisi's side face, which was brightly red, and he couldn't help but be startled. + +The male classmates in his previous class were all very envious of him, saying that he had a beautiful and fashionable cousin, but he always scoffed at her. How could she be so good-looking? Isn't she just a little yellow-haired girl? But just now, he realized that the little yellow-haired girl following him had really grown up and became so beautiful! + +Tian Xinhua shook his head, smiled, and used all his strength to continue stirring. No matter how much he grew up, grandma was still the crying little girl, the same grandma who gave him the chicken legs and ate the chicken feet herself. + +Because the two of them worked during the day, there were no adults at home. Therefore, when Tian Xinhua and Tian Sisi steamed the first vat of wine, only the old man and Mrs. Zhao knew about it, and the others were the little guys from Donghua. The little guys had a lot of coke these days, and there was delicious food every day, so it was never the same. + +Tian Sisi poured two small glasses of amber-colored Toudao wine and handed them to the old man and Mrs. Zhao, looking at them with a smile. The old man took a sip first, thought about it, nodded with a smile, "Not bad, it's better than what the wine master makes." + +The wine master the old man was talking about was not from Yuequan Village, but lived in the town. His surname was Wang. Every year after the sorghum harvest, he would come to each village. Anyone who wanted to make wine would ask him to come and make wine. He would provide three meals and snacks at night. In addition, he would be paid two yuan a day, and the wine master would bring the wine and medicine to the door. The wine that the old man drank before was made by this wine master named Wang. + +Mrs. Zhao couldn't wait to take a sip. She smacked her lips and said, "It seems quite strong." + +The old lady doesn't know what kind of wine is good.

As soon as the wine entered his throat, his eyes lit up. If the wine couldn't be sold, his name would be written upside down (the problem is, wouldn't it still be Tian if your name was written upside down?).

Tian Mantong happened to be at home without going out. He heard his nephew tell the general situation, and he became interested. Over the years, he had been running long distances and sold countless things. However, business is getting harder and harder now. People don't even have enough to eat, and there is nothing to sell. But if there is good wine, he is guaranteed to sell it. Several hotel owners in various cities and Shanghai have asked him if they have any soju! + +Excited, Tian Mantong took his third son with him, ran to the supply and marketing cooperative to talk to Wang Qiumeng, and then drove back to Yuequan Village. On the way, he also bought a dozen jars. Tian Xinhua asked Tian Mantong to put them on first, and then deduct the money from them after the wine was sold. Tian Mantong would not care about the money. What he is most concerned about now is whether what Xinhua said is true, and if it is true, what is the quality of the wine. + +In the evening, all the Tian family members went to Tian Sisi's house after work.

He has good food to eat every day." + +"Yes, the standard of living is better than that of the landowners and wealthy people in the past!" + +The people who spoke were some of the village's toughest people. All they thought about all day long was how to work less and eat more. Tian Manyin's family had the least labor force, but they had the best food. They had dry rice three times a day, and they could eat meat three or four times a month. They had been jealous for a long time, but their own father took care of his son's family, and no one could say otherwise. + +But during this period, Tian Bajin's family also went to Tian Manyin's house to eat several meals. Every time they ate, their mouths were full of oil, which showed that they had eaten a lot of meat. Now they felt unbalanced. Why did everyone work the same way, but when others ate meat, they could only eat chaff? But they didn't dare to say it in front of Tian Bajin, so they had to say a few words behind his back to vent their anger. + +"What are you talking about? It's none of your business to have a meal together as a family. Now that you have all the strength, you can pick up manure for me tomorrow." After hearing these two words, Zhong Boqiang became angry. What could be better than a wealthy landlord? Brother Tian's current life was obtained from guns. The government takes care of these old revolutionaries and lets them eat better. There is nothing to be jealous of. They are really a bunch of lazy people. + +When Zhong Boqiang said this, everyone became like birds and beasts. Picking manure is the dirtiest job. Who would want to do it if their whole body smells bad at the end of the day. + +In the evening, the old man didn't ask Tian Bajin's family to come. He only called Tian Bajin, plus the two brothers Tian Mantu and Tian Manmu, and the two brothers Tian Jinhua and Tian Shouhua. In his opinion, women are not very strict with their mouths. It is better not to let the women in the family know about these things. + +Mrs. Zhao asked Tian Xinhua and Tian Sisi to bring a few bowls of meat and vegetables over there, so that the women and children over there would not have food to eat. Mrs. Zhao and Zhu Aiqing also took the younger children in the family to another room to eat, in case the children were not careful and leaked. Only two juniors, Tian Xinhua and Tian Shouhua, were left in the main room, and even Tian Sisi was not there. + +The old man didn't say much. He just asked Tian Xinhua to pour a glass of wine for everyone present. After the wine was poured, the old man took the lead in holding up the wine glass and motioned for everyone to drink.

They felt uneasy, but they didn't ask any more questions and drank the wine in the glass. After drinking, the men's eyes lit up. Where did this good wine come from? + +Although Tian Mantong drives, he is the drunkest among the men in the Tian family. Wang Qiumeng has been anxious with him several times. Fortunately, Tian Mantong has good self-control and never drinks before driving. Otherwise, what would have happened.

Don't look down on others. Grandma and I brewed this wine together." + +Tian Manyin believed it. In his opinion, his daughter was so smart. It was a very simple thing for A-nan to want to make wine (it is actually a very happy thing to have a daughter-controlled father). Moreover, A-nan and Xinhua had been talking to each other in the past few days, and even let a few little guys hug the firewood. It turned out that these two people were making wine! + +After the old man explained again, everyone finally believed that the wine was made by Xinhua and Ah Nan in the past few days. The old man also said that the grain for brewing was obtained by someone else. Not everyone disbelieved what the old man said. In their view, there was nothing that the powerful old man could not do. + +Seeing that everyone accepted his statement, the old man was very satisfied. He took a sip of wine and said: "I called you here today to discuss the wine. The wine has been brewed. I plan to sell Mantong.

Therefore, the old man said that the brewing recipe was left by Tian Sisi's biological parents, and they believed it. After all, when Tian Sisi was brought back, the blankets and clothes on her body were not affordable for ordinary people. So it makes sense that A'nan's parents left some brewing recipes on their daughter.

He was going to pack the wine into ten-jin jars to make it easier to sell. He happened to be going to Shanghai to buy goods in two days, so he happened to bring this wine with him. + +After hearing this, Tian Xinhua and Tian Sisi worked hard to steam the remaining several hundred kilograms of wine. A total of about 540 kilograms of wine was produced, leaving forty kilograms for the family to drink. The remaining five hundred kilograms were sold, which was enough to fit into fifty jars. Tian Mantong came over in the evening and took the whole car away. He was going to Shanghai early the next morning. + +Before leaving, Tian Mantong smiled and told Tian Sisi to buy her a White Rabbit. Tian Sisi nodded with a smile.

Just now, her uncle had specifically asked her to put all the recipes away and not to tell them all out. In fact, the recipes were secondary, and the most important thing was the koji berries. Without the koji berries, no matter how good the recipe was, there would be no good wine, so Tian Sisi was not worried about the leakage of the recipe. + +However, Tian Sisi was deeply moved by her uncle's concern. She planned to brew more wine with agar liquor in the evening and give it to her uncle and her parents to drink. Although they could not stay young forever, it would not be a problem to live to a hundred years old without any disease or pain. + +Tian Sisi got up early the next morning. She had been busy making wine these past few days. She had developed a good habit of going to bed early and getting up early. As soon as the biological clock came, she woke up automatically.

If they are not taken care of well, their life span will be shortened in the future. + +Mrs. Zhao shed tears at that time. After she came back, she kept scolding Shou Jizu. After that, she cooked delicious food for the three brothers every day. The old man felt uncomfortable. He blamed himself and felt that he should not have neglected the three children because he resented his little daughter. So he decided to let the three Jianguo brothers stay in Tian's house and study here. Anyway, as long as they paid the tuition, it would be fine.

Zhu Aiqing saw her daughter stunned and didn't care to listen to her at all. She was so angry that she slapped Tian Sisi on the shoulder. + +"Ouch, Mom, why did you hit me?" Tian Sisi was woken up and rubbed the painful shoulder. Why are women today so powerful? Zhu Qingping, Mom, all of them seemed to have practiced iron sand palm, and they were not gentle at all. + +"I'm talking to you, did you hear it? Where did your soul go just now?" Zhu Aiqing cursed. + +"Of course I heard you. You just told me to keep the three yuan. You have to say it every time the school starts. It makes my ears prickly." Tian Sisi pouted, and Zhu Aiqing felt like her mother Zhong Juying in the previous life. She had to say it several times every time the school started not to throw away the tuition fees. + +"Okay, okay, it's time to eat. I have to go to work later. A-nan, you will take Donghua Jianguo, your Xinhua brother, and Qinghua brother to sign up together. Do you understand?" Tian Manyin also felt sorry for his daughter who had been slapped with iron sand by his wife, and immediately made things right. + +Tian Sisi responded feebly and let Zhu Aiqing tie her hair. Zhu Aiqing was not as gentle as Mrs. Zhao. The pain made Tian Sisi burst into tears. She looked at Zhu Aiqing accusingly, "Mom, why are you so strong? It doesn't hurt at all to tie it up." + +"Are you made of tofu? Mom only used a little force, but it hurts so much?" Zhu Aiqing was also angry. Grandma was so squeamish that she would shed tears even when she combed her hair. + +Tian Manyin was heartbroken. Grandma must be in real pain. Tears were streaming down her face. Besides, he knew how strong his wife's hands were. Grandma's scalp was so tender, how could she withstand his wife's strength? He hurriedly called Zhu Aiqing to eat, "Let's eat. I won't comb my grandmother's hair. Let my mother-in-law tie up such a difficult girl." + +Zhu Aiqing also laughed angrily, and put the wooden comb on the table, "Come on, I won't serve you, you are such a troublemaker, let your mother-in-law tie her up." + +Tian Sisi smiled gratefully at her father, "it's better for you!"It's just a pity that Daddy doesn't know how to tie hair, otherwise it would definitely not hurt if Daddy tied it up. + +By this time, Tian Xinhua had already had breakfast and came over with Qinghua and his schoolbag. Seeing that Tian Sisi was still crying with her hair loose, she knew that the fourth aunt must have tied up A-nan's hair again. + +Mrs. Zhao cooked breakfast, packed two lunch boxes for Tian Sisi and Donghua, and asked them to steam lunch at school at noon. Mrs. Zhao quickly tied Tian Sisi's pigtails and put on a red flower, and secretly gave her one yuan. This was a long-standing practice. Every time a new semester started, Mrs. Zhao would give one yuan to the original owner as pocket money, but the original owner, a fool, spent most of the money on Zhong Yuying. + +ps: Thank you for the support from I Love Myself xx, Wan Ru Ge Shi, Fat Girl 0915, Maple Leaf Shuangyuan, Book Friends 150707080753665 and many others! \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/09/eng_cont/i_0048.txt b/09/eng_cont/i_0048.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..9c1d5b368a5d24b30c4f3aaf9463e35c06e169aa --- /dev/null +++ b/09/eng_cont/i_0048.txt @@ -0,0 +1,61 @@ +Chapter 48 Luoling Primary School. + +There is no primary school in Yuequan Village. The school is in Luoling Village next door. There is Luoling Primary School there. This elementary school gathers children from the four nearby villages of Yuequan Village, Hongxia Village, Luoling Village, and Jinkeng Village. The school is not big, with one class for each grade. There are only three teachers in the school, one teaches Chinese, one teaches mathematics, and one is the principal, responsible for teaching the first and second grades. + +It takes about ten miles to walk from Yuequan Village to Luoling Primary School. They are close, and some have to walk more than twenty miles. Many children have to leave before dawn. When they get home from school, the stars come out, which is a real starry sky. If it rains or snows, it is even more difficult. Often, when walking to school, their shoes are soaked in water. Some children are reluctant to part with their shoes and simply walk barefoot. After arriving at school, they dry their feet and put on their shoes. + +But although the conditions were very difficult at this time, every child had a high enthusiasm for learning, rain or shine, and that seriousness was really not comparable to the children of later generations. However, there are exceptions, like the Tian Xinhua in front of me. He has never liked reading, and his academic performance is still average. However, this guy only thinks about making money, and his heart is not in studying at all. + +It’s just that the old man stipulated that the children of the Tian family must graduate from high school. There is no requirement for good or bad grades, but they must be informed and sensible. In the old man’s opinion, it is not good to read too much, but it is not good to read no books at all. That’s why he stipulated that the children of the Tian family must graduate from high school. In this way, the number of books read is just right, so that they can be sensible and sensible without becoming nerds. + +Tian Sisi was pulled by Tian Xinhua to walk lazily. She really didn't want to study at all. Tian Sisi pouted and asked, "Brother Xinhua, can I not go to study?" + +Tian Xinhua glanced at her sideways, "I don't want to go to school yet! But Grandpa has stipulated that all children in the Tian family, regardless of gender, must go to high school until they graduate." + +Tian Xinhua was also extremely distressed. Instead of sitting in the classroom and wasting time, he might as well go make wine and make money! well! The two of them sighed together. Tian Qinghua, who was eating fruit candies with gusto next to him, saw the sad faces of the two and did not understand. In his opinion, there was nothing wrong with studying. Although he had to be scolded when he did not do well in the exam, he could play with his classmates every day and did not have to work in the fields. How beautiful! + +"Yes!" Tian Sisi suddenly shouted loudly, "Brother Xinhua, I have a way to stop studying." + +"What solution?" Tian Xinhua asked lazily. In his opinion, what good solution could A-nan think of with her intelligence? + +"We can study by ourselves at home instead of going to the classroom. Then as long as we can get high scores in every exam, that's fine." + +Tian Xinhua's eyes lit up. This was a good idea. "Ana suddenly got a bright idea. But with your IQ, you can't even get 70 points in school. How can you still get high marks by studying at home?" + +Tian Sisi was so angry that she puffed up her cheeks and retorted loudly: "My IQ is not good, is your IQ very good? I scored 75 points in the Chinese final exam last semester, and you didn't even get 70 points, hum!" + +Tian Qinghua smiled and added, "You two are half a pound to half a pound. Big brother, don't laugh at the second brother." + +"Shut up!" Tian Xinhua and Tian Sisi shouted at him. + +Jianguo and Donghua gave Tian Qinghua a "well deserved" look, and decided not to get involved in their quarrel and just be sugar-eaters quietly. + +Tian Sisi angrily threw away Tian Xinhua's hand and walked to the front alone. Huh, how dare you despise her IQ. She thought she was still an undergraduate from a second-rate university at the time. She was not as good as her predecessors but more than her inferiors. She was much better than you, Tian Xinhua, who had never scored 80 points in the exam. + +Tian Xinhua laughed dumbly, which really pissed off the little girl. He shook his head, stepped forward and took Tian Sisi's hand. Tian Sisi snorted and pulled her hand out. Tian Xinhua smiled and pulled it again. Several times, she finally didn't shake him away, but she still gave him a slap on the back of his head, and his face was twisted at 90 degrees. + +"Brother Xinhua said the wrong thing. Brother Xinhua's IQ is not as high as grandma. Grandma, don't be angry, or I'll let you take a bite." Tian Xinhua stretched out his left hand and put it to Tian Sisi's mouth. When they had quarreled before, Tian Xinhua always did this to calm Tian Sisi's anger. + +"No, it stinks. Who wants to bite your claws?" Tian Sisi suppressed a smile with a straight face but still turned her head. In fact, she was no longer angry now. She felt that she was becoming more and more childish. Could it be that as the body becomes smaller, will the mental age also become smaller? + +Tian Xinhua already knew that the little girl was no longer angry from the way Tian Sisi curled her mouth just now, but he still cooperated and begged for mercy, "How about Brother Xinhua carries you away?" + +"Okay! You have to carry it all the way to school." Tian Sisi patted Tian Xinhua's shoulder very simply and motioned for him to squat down quickly. + +Tian Xinhua smiled and handed the schoolbag to Qinghua. He knelt down and carried Tian Sisi on his back. The little girl only weighed more than forty pounds on her head. She didn't feel anything when she was carrying her. Donghua curled his lips. Sister was lazy again. Every time she went to school, she had to carry it on her fifth brother. It was really embarrassing! + +When he was approaching the school gate, Tian Xinhua put Tian Sisi down to avoid being seen and said that Anan was squeamish. Luoling Primary School was not big, with only one-story bungalow and a playground. There was also a simple basketball stand on the playground. In the past, the school had two students from the city. When the young male teachers were young, the villagers could still hear the "clang" sound coming from the school from time to time. But since the two young teachers couldn't bear the loneliness and were transferred to the town, the basketball stand has completely become a decoration. If they don't have enough to eat, who will play that kind of strenuous basketball? Besides, even if we searched four villages, we couldn't find a single basketball. Some people didn't even know what a basketball was for. + +The principal of Luoling Primary School, whose surname is Luo, is in his fifties. He is thin and has a gray head. He wears glasses wrapped with tape. It is said that Principal Luo's myopia is nearly a thousand degrees. A student once hid Principal Luo's glasses as a prank. As a result, LuoThe principal fell into a ditch on the side of the road when he came home from school. He couldn't climb out no matter how hard he climbed, because Principal Luo always crawled toward the deepest place. Someone was passing by and saw him, so he pulled Principal Luo out and sent him home. Later, the prankster student was beaten by his father until he cried for his father. + +Principal Luo is very respected in the four villages of Luoling Village, Yuequan Village, Jinkeng Village, and Hongxia Village, because everyone under the age of forty in these four villages has studied under Principal Luo, and they have all been beaten by Principal Luo. Although the teacher's status has dropped a lot in recent years, Principal Luo is still respected by the villagers as Mr. Luo. + +Once, there was a team of red soldiers in Hongxia Village who wanted to show off in front of the commune leaders. They wanted to find a role model and criticize them. After thinking for a long time, they thought of Principal Luo. The reason was that Principal Luo had told students about the Dream of Red Mansions and foreign stories in class before. So this team of red soldiers rushed into Principal Luo's house with high spirits and just dragged Principal Luo outside. After hearing the news, the Red Soldiers rushed over. + +Their respective fathers took these fourteen or fifteen-year-old red soldiers out of the yard by their ears, and beat them up on the spot. After the beating, they dragged their sons to Principal Luo to apologize and say good things. Of course, Principal Luo would not care about anything with a bunch of young people. Besides, there was nothing wrong with these children. They were just too enthusiastic. He just sighed and asked the former students to take his sons back. + +The other two teachers are both women in their 30s and 40s. One is named Liu, from Hongxia Village, and teaches Chinese, and the other is named Jin, and is from Jinkeng Village, and teaches mathematics. Both teachers are relatives of commune leaders, commonly known as people with backgrounds, and their educational level is not high. It is extremely normal for them to make a few typos or miscalculate a few calculations during class. + +Originally, Principal Luo wanted these two people to teach the first and second grades, but the two teachers insisted on teaching the senior grades because the salary for teaching senior grades was higher.

There are many students who have signed up with red faces and their heads lowered. It is obvious that these students are in arrears in paying tuition fees. Some even owe one semester. When the new semester starts, it is very likely that the tuition fees for the previous semester have not been paid yet! + +Principal Luo is also very talkative. Every time the superiors come to ask for tuition fees, he will put in a good word for these students. Sometimes when it is too late, he will pay the fees first for students whose families are particularly poor. Over the years, he does not know how much tuition fees he has paid for the students. Some students even come to Principal Luo to pay their tuition fees many years after graduating from elementary school and starting a family. It has been so long that even Principal Luo himself cannot remember. + +When the students surrounding Principal Luo saw Tian Sisi and the others, they all automatically gave up their seats to them. The Tian family's "Miss Shanghai" was not only famous in Yuequan Village, but all the students in Luoling Primary School were timid about the beautiful and foreign-looking Tian Sisi. They wanted to get close but did not dare to get too close. + +Tian Sisi smiled and thanked the classmates who made room for her. The male and female classmates smiled shyly and looked a little excited. Tian Sisi took out five yuan from her pocket and specifically stated that Jianguo was her cousin and she was here to study here for one semester. + +Principal Luo accepted the money with a smile. To him, one more student and one less student did not matter. He was happy that one more student came to study. In recent years, there were fewer and fewer students in the school. He came to do ideological work to no avail. Farmers' families were really too poor. Not only could they not pay the tuition, some families could not even afford a lunch for their children. + +"Tian Zhaodi, what grade is your cousin in?" Principal Luo asked kindly. + +"Principal Luo, my name is Tian Sisi now. Don't pronounce it wrong next time. My cousin is in the second grade, and he is in the same grade as my brother Tian Donghua." Tian Sisi's clear voice is very pleasant, and after listening to it, it is as comfortable as drinking mung bean soup from the well on a hot day. + +"Okay, I'll write down my name, Shou Jianguo, right? Study hard in the future and make progress every day." Principal Luo took the money and gave Tian Sisi fifty cents. Many people around him looked envious after seeing it.

She was going to default on her tuition fees this semester. In fact, her father was rich, but because Tian Sisi, a fool, paid the tuition for her in the past, her father stopped paying her as time went by. Someone was paying anyway! + +Originally, Zhong Yuying planned to say a few more nice words to coax Tian Sisi back, but no matter how low-key she was in the past few days, Tian Sisi would not give her a good look, and now everyone in Zhongjiawan knew that Tian Sisi had fallen out with her. Even her father knew about it, and scolded her severely and told her not to go to school. She came to register secretly today, planning to owe the tuition fees first, and then find a way to earn money to pay back later. + +On the first day, you just signed up and didn't have to go to class, but you had to clean up, so everyone still had to have lunch at school. Many students didn't bring lunch boxes, but just carried two steamed sweet potatoes in their arms. There were even a lot of people who didn't even have sweet potatoes, so they were going to stay empty stomach until the afternoon. This was the case for Zhong Juying. She was in the same class as Tian Sisi, both in the third grade. Also in this class was Zhong Meiying. + +At this moment, she was quietly hiding outside the classroom. Everyone in the classroom was eating. She pretended to have eaten, left the classroom early, and took a broom to sweep the corridor. When Tian Sisi came back from Tian Xinhua's classroom after eating, she saw Zhong Juying and knew that she must not have eaten lunch. In her previous life, her mother often said that she was hungry in school when she was a child because there was no extra food at home for her to bring to school. Also, because she did not eat lunch for a long time, her mother had serious stomach problems. + +Tian Si thought for a while, took out two steaming big meat buns from the mall, put them in the lunch box, covered it with the lid, walked over, and shouted to Zhong Juying who was sweeping the floor: "Zhong Juying, help me wash the lunch box." + +Zhong Juying raised her head and saw Tian Sisi with a small face. Although she didn't understand what Tian Sisi meant, she still put down the broom, walked to Tian Sisi, and reached out to pick up the lunch box. Tian Sisi whispered, "Don't be discovered," and then said loudly, "Wash my lunch box clean, and return it to me later." + +No one thought it was wrong for Tian Sisi to let Zhong Juying wash the lunch box. In their opinion, Tian Sisi, who came from a good background, let a rich farmer wash the lunch box. They thought highly of her, and it was such a honorable thing to be able to work for the beautiful and clean Tian Sisi! Many male classmates are even envious of Zhong Juying’s good luck! + +After listening to Tian Sisi's words, Zhong Juying knew that there must be something in the lunch box. She secretly went to the bamboo forest behind the school. Very few people came here. Zhong Juying opened the lunch box. Inside were two steaming white buns. The lunch box was very clean and had obviously been freshly washed. Zhong Juying burst into tears. + +She took a bun and took a big bite, revealing the meat inside. It was oily, fresh and fragrant. Zhong Juying felt like her tongue was about to fall off. She ate the bun on her hand in three mouthfuls. She felt as comfortable as if she was basking in the sun in winter. The warmth radiated from her heart. It turned out that eating lunch felt so good! + +There was another bun that Zhong Juying was reluctant to eat. She carefully put the bun into the bag inside the cotton-padded jacket. This cotton-padded jacket was given to her by Tian Sisi. Zhong Juying looked much more beautiful after wearing clean and tidy clothes. + +Zhong Yuying was in fourth grade. After eating two sweet potatoes, she thought about going to Tian Sisi. When she came out, she saw Tian Sisi asking Zhong Juying to wash her lunch box. She didn't take it seriously. When she and Tian Sisi were good, she often washed Tian Sisi's lunch box. Of course, she ate most of the food in Tian Sisi's lunch box, so there was no need to eat sweet potatoes like today. + +Without Tian Sisi's care, Zhong Yuying's quality of life has dropped by several levels. How can she bear it? So I thought about looking for Tian Sisi again and saying a few soft words to see if I could return to the original relationship. Even if I couldn't return to the original situation, it would be good to get tuition money. + +Tian Sisi was really annoyed when she saw the dog-skin plaster-like Zhong Yuying. This person is really thick-skinned. No wonder she was so successful as a mistress in her previous life. Before Zhong Yuying could speak, Tian Sisi took the lead and said, "Zhong Yuying, are you done with this? I already told you that I don't want to be friends with you anymore, why are you always pestering me?" + +"Sisi, what did I do wrong? You suddenly want to break off our relationship with me. Can you tell me? I will definitely change it." Zhong Yuying looked at Tian Sisi with a sad smile. People who don't know what is going on will definitely think that Tian Sisi bullied her. + +Tian Sisi was bored when she saw the expression of this little white flower. In her previous life, her ex-husband was seduced by a little white flower. Although she was also responsible, the end result was that Tian Sisi was defeated by a little white flower. In her current body, she was also driven out of the house by this little white flower in her previous life. New hatred was added to the old hatred.

If you show up in front of me again, I'll beat you!" + +Tian Sisi waved her little fist, waved at Zhong Yuying in demonstration, and walked back to her seat. Zhong Yuying didn't give up and wanted to work harder. Zhong Meiying, who couldn't stand it, loudly sarcastically said: "Zhong Yuying, you are so shameless. Tian Sisi has already told me not to be friends with you. Why are you staying in our classroom shamelessly? Do you really want Tian Sisi to pay your tuition for you? How dare you even think about it!" + +No one in the classroom speaks for Zhong Yuying. Although Zhong Yuying is well-liked in school, it depends on who she is facing.

Tian Sisi sneered. Zhong Yuying had such great acting skills at such a young age. It was not unfair to lose to her in the previous life. + +Zhong Yuying, who ran out of the classroom, slowly put down her steps and lowered her hands on her face. How could there be any tears?

It seemed that she had to find a new goal and finish elementary school no matter what. + +When Zhong Juying got home in the afternoon, she took out the buns from her arms and steamed them while cooking dinner. The dinner was very simple, sweet potato porridge and steamed prunes. Every year, Zhao Manxiu made a large vat of pickles and prunes. This was their main dish for the year. Add a few drops of oil to the prunes and steam them in rice. You can eat several meals in one bowl. + +This time, thanks to a packet of sugar given by Tian Sisi, half a spoonful of sugar was placed in the dried vegetables, the taste was much better, and even my father's cough was reduced. In fact, Zhong Shigen's tuberculosis was not serious. In future generations, it would only be a matter of a few shots of antibiotics. But now, because of poor nutrition, it has turned into tuberculosis. + +Zhao Manxiu originally wanted to continue stewing "pure urine eggs" for Zhong Shigen with the eggs sent by Tian Sisi, but Zhong Shigen refused. In the past two years, he was willing to eat "pure urine eggs" only because his son Zhong Shouliang was still young and could not support the family. If he died, there would be no responsible man in the family and he would wear the hat of a rich farmer. His wife and daughter would not be bullied to death. + +Now that his son has grown up, the most important thing is that his son has become an upright man, a man who can take care of his mother and sisters. He can finally close his eyes with peace of mind, so Zhong Shigen refused his wife to continue to stew eggs for him and threatened him with death. In his opinion, he was a useless person who had no need to eat so well. If he died earlier, he could reduce the burden on his wife and son earlier. + +Having been husband and wife for half her life, how could Zhao Manxiu not understand what her husband was thinking. Although she felt uncomfortable in her heart, she knew her husband's character and knew that he was determined. If she continued to stew eggs, her husband would really seek death. Zhao Manxiu had no choice but to obey her husband, praying in her heart that God would let her husband live longer. + +Zhong Juying steamed a bowl of dry rice alone, which was prepared for her eldest brother. She originally wanted to steam some eggs, but today we have meat buns, so she will save the eggs. The whole family is supported by her eldest brother, and he has to do such tiring work every day. If he doesn't eat better, how can he have the strength? + +During dinner, Zhong Shouliang passed the dry rice in his bowl to others, but they all took away their bowls. Zhong Shouliang's face darkened, and everyone took a small amount of rice from his bowl. Zhong Juying took out the meat buns from the pot and put them in the vegetable bowl. The steaming steamed buns are as precious to the Zhong family as eating abalone to people nowadays. + +"Where did the buns come from?" Zhao Manxiu asked in surprise. + +"There were two lunches given to me by Sisi, and I ate one." Zhong Juying is still ashamed of eating the meat buns at noon. If she hadn't eaten that one bun, she would have had two buns at night. + +"No one noticed. Sisi gave it to me when she pretended to ask me to wash her lunch box." Zhong Juying explained again, which also made the Zhong family breathe a sigh of relief. They were worried that these two children were ignorant and would bring trouble to the Tian family. + +"Shou Liang, what do you think this is? I have received so many favors from your cousin and I still can't pay them back!" Zhao Manxiu was a little frightened. She was the one who was most afraid of owing favors. + +"It's okay. If you can't pay it off in one year, you can pay it off in two years. As long as we keep it in mind, we will be able to pay it off as long as we live. In a few days when I have free time, I will go to the fields to pick up some more eels and loaches to send to my cousin's house. I heard that my cousin likes to eat this." Zhong Shouliang thought for a while and said. + +"That's fine. It's easy to add icing on the cake, but it's harder to give help when it's time. You two brothers and sisters must remember the Tian family's affection for our family. Even if your mother and I are gone in the future, you must repay this affection for us. Do you understand?" Zhong Shigen warned his children in a hoarse voice. + +Zhong Shouliang and Zhong Juying both nodded in agreement. Although Zhong Shigen didn't even have the strength to walk now, in their hearts, Zhong Shigen was still their father who was as strong as an ox and had a loud voice, and was their biggest support. + +The meat buns were shared among the four members of their family, and the aroma of the meat made each of them feel extremely satisfied. A few years later, the Zhong family had become well-known wealthy people, but the family would still often think of that night in 1972. The meat buns that the four members of the family ate were so delicious, but they had never been able to eat a bun that was more fragrant than that meat bun again. + +Tian family + +After dinner in the evening, Jianguo and the other children all went to bed. Tian Sisi also washed her face and feet to get ready for bed. Tian Mantong opened the door and walked in with a dusty look on his face. He looked tired. I guess he got up early in the morning and drove three or four hours to Shanghai, and then drove three or four hours back. He didn't even have time to catch his breath. There was no one to change the car. It's strange that Tian Mantong wasn't tired! + +As soon as Tian Mantong entered the room, he picked up Tian Sisi and kissed her hard several times. He kept saying, "Little lucky star, grandma is really a little lucky star." + +Tian Sisi struggled and jumped out of her uncle's arms, complaining: "Uncle, your beard hurts me." + +Tian Manyin hugged her daughter distressedly, touched her pricked red face, and gave her brother a complaining look. When Mrs. Zhao learned that her youngest son had come directly from Shanghai and hadn't even returned to her home in the town, she went to the kitchen to make noodles. After a while, she came out with a large bowl of fragrant pickled vegetables and shredded pork noodles, with two golden poached eggs on top. + +The old man motioned to Tian Mantong to eat first and then talk about the matter in detail. In his opinion, that batch of shochu must have sold well, otherwise there would be nothing else that could make Mantong so happy. Sure enough, after Tian Mantong finished eating the noodles, he took out a brand new bundle of dough from his arms with a flick of his lips, and shook it towards the people in the room, making a swishing sound. + +Have any of you ever seen so much money? Even Mrs. Zhao, the finance minister of the family, only receives more than 20 Great Unity cards every month, a thin stack in her hand, unlike Man Tong, who must have dozens of them, right? + +"Man Tong, how much money do you have in your hand? I'm afraid it's five hundred, right?" Tian Manyin asked curiously. + +Tian Mantong shook his head in amusement, opened his mouth and said with big white teeth: "750, 1. 5 kilograms of soju, total 750 yuan." + +In fact, Tian Mantong Shaojiu sold for 2. 5 yuan per catty. Because of the good quality of the wine, the restaurant owner agreed to buy it for two yuan per catty, but he bargained for two yuan per catty. The reason why he hid the one yuan was to save Tian Sisi's dowry. He specially opened a discount in Shanghai and deposited the 500 yuan he hid this time in Tian Sisi's name. He planned to give the discount to Tian Sisi when she grew up. + +In his opinion, Grandma’s prescription was the wine made by Grandma, but he only gave this amount to Grandma. Wasn’t he bullying Grandma because she was young and ignorant? Humph, with him here he will definitely not let Grandma suffer. Anyway, only he can sell these wines. + +Tian Mantong's words were like a fried egg, causing everyone to exclaim, 750 yuan? So much money? Only Tian Sisi remained calm. In her previous life, she had more than 1 million in bank deposits. Alas, if she had known that she could only live to be more than thirty years old, she would have spent all the money in her previous life! This is really in line with the saying "the people are gone, but the money is still there". + +The old man took the big stack of unity. Everyone in the room stared eagerly at the money in the old man's hand. Tian Manyin asked: "Dad, did you call the second uncle over?" + +"Well, you go and call your second uncle and Xinhua over. There is no need to call the others." The old man nodded in agreement. + +Tian Manyin immediately ran out to call for help, while Tian Mantong asked, "Dad, how do you plan to divide the money?" + +"Didn't we discuss it last time? Excluding the capital, we will divide it into five equal parts." + +"How much is the capital?" + +"The money for food, wine and medicine, plus the money you paid for the tank, let's make up a round number of three hundred." The old man didn't know how much the cost was. He roughly quoted a higher price based on the current market situation. Even so, the remaining money was quite a lot. One portion could be ninety, which is not a small amount. Bajin's family only earned about three hundred yuan a year. + +ps: Thank you to 123 Listening, Doudouzui, and Yuzi for their support! \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/09/eng_cont/i_0051.txt b/09/eng_cont/i_0051.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..803633676e772fd7c4475eef33057c902a78c119 --- /dev/null +++ b/09/eng_cont/i_0051.txt @@ -0,0 +1,69 @@ +Chapter 51 cents. + +Tian Mantong made a rough calculation and smiled with satisfaction. This was the best. If he gave too much at one time, he would probably make it difficult for his relatives. After all, if you give too much help, your greed will swell. + +Tian Manyin came back soon and said that Tian Bajin and the others were still eating and would be here soon. Tian Mantong thought for a while and pulled the old man and Tian Manyin into the back room. The two of them were confused by Tian Mantong and looked at him with wide eyes. Tian Mantong smiled and took out a red booklet from his arms and handed it to the two of them. Tian Manyin took the booklet and opened it and saw the name of his daughter Tian Sisi, which was a deposit of 500 yuan. + +After reading it, Tian Manyin handed the folder to the old man. Both of them looked at Tian Mantong, waiting for his explanation. Tian Mantong briefly explained the situation, "Dad, Fourth Brother, don't I just feel that Grandma has suffered a loss? I just want to save more money for Grandma."I will make a dowry for her in the future. Besides, what will happen if the second uncle’s family knows that this wine is so expensive? People’s hearts are fickle. We, the second uncle, the eldest brother, and the second brother believe it, but as for other people, the longer time passes, the weaker their feelings will become!” + +Tian Mantong's words caused the old man and Tian Manyin to think deeply. Yes, people's hearts are the easiest things to change. It's okay for their generation, but the same cannot be said for future generations. What if a greedy person comes out and wants to get more and hurt Grandma? When he thought that grandma might be harmed because of the wine, the old man and Tian Mantong felt their hearts twitch. + +At that moment, both of them agreed to Tian Mantong's plan, "Let's just settle it. If this matter is exposed in the future, you can just say it was my decision." The old man decided that he would be the one to do this evil thing. + +"How could it be leaked? Only the three of us know about this matter, and only I know the price of the wine. As long as we don't tell anyone, no one will know about it, dad, don't worry." Tian Mantong was full of confidence. + +Although Tian Manyin felt that it was not good to do this, as if he was sorry for his second uncle's family, but thinking that his grandmother might be harmed in the future, he immediately put away the guilt. He was not afraid of ten thousand, but afraid of the worst. He would rather be a bad person than let his daughter have the slightest possibility of being harmed. + +The three of them reached an agreement. Tian Mantong handed the fold to the old man and asked him to keep it. The old man also specially told his two sons that they could not tell anyone, not even to their wife in bed. This made Tian Manyin and Tian Mantong both blush and said in unison, "There is nothing to talk about men's affairs with women." + +Tian Bajin and Tian Xinhua rushed over quickly. Tian Bajin didn't know why Tian Manyin called them here in such a hurry. Tian Xinhua understood a little better, thinking that the batch of shochu had been sold. He had just seen his uncle's car, and thought that he would soon get the first amount of money he earned. Tian Xinhua's heart was beating loudly and his eyes were dazzling. + +Tian Sisi was already being pushed to bed by Mrs. Zhao when she was yawning. Although she wanted to continue participating in the discussion, her body was so unsatisfactory that she was forced to sleep before eight o'clock! With sleepy eyes, Tian Sisi pestered Tian Manyin to keep her share of the money and not give it to her mother. She wouldn't be able to get a penny back when she got to her mother's place. Tian Manyin agreed with a smile, and Tian Sisi went to sleep peacefully. + +Mrs. Zhao and Zhu Aiqing both went to bed consciously. Generally, women do not participate in such family events, and it is not just the Tian family. It can be said that this was the situation in rural families in the 1970s and 1980s. Even after 2000, there are still many rural areas in China like this, and many rural women are accustomed to this model. In their view, it is men who have the final say in major matters. Women only need to take care of the family's money and children. + +Tian Mantong took out the stack of money and saw with satisfaction the horrified expressions of Tian Bajin and Tian Xinhua. Then he handed the money to the old man. The old man took out 300 yuan from the 750 yuan and said, "Last time, Xinhua and Grandma made about 540 kilograms of wine. We kept 40 kilograms for ourselves. The remaining 500 kilograms of copper were sold at 1. 5 yuan per kilogram, and we got a total of 750 yuan." + +When Tian Bajin heard this number, his hands started to shake with excitement. He had never seen so much money in his life! Tian Xinhua was still calm, but his eyes were getting brighter and brighter. The old man looked at his younger brother with disdain, and was very satisfied with his grandnephew's performance. He had the demeanor of a general, neither surprised nor happy, and kept his composure. + +"The cost of brewing includes food, vats, wine and medicine. I roughly calculated it and came up with a round number, 300 yuan. The remaining 450 yuan will be divided as we agreed last time, 90 yuan per portion. I will divide the money when I call you here tonight. It will be divided like this in the future. When I get more food, Xinhua and A'nan will make another brew." + +After the old man said that, he divided the money. Tian Bajin held the nine brand-new Great Unity cards in his hand and asked in panic: "Brother, is this money too much? I feel uneasy holding it!" + +Hearing what his second uncle said, Tian Manyin couldn't help but feel even more guilty. If his second uncle knew that they had secretly withheld so much money, how uncomfortable would he feel? Tian Mantong only thought it was funny, but he couldn't bear it for just this little money? Fortunately, he had the foresight to hide 500 yuan, otherwise the second uncle would have fainted from shock? + +"You can take it as long as you are told. It only lasts for two years. After two years, if you ask me for it, I won't give it to you." The old man glared at his younger brother. + +"That's enough, that's enough. Our family has recovered in two years." Tian Bajin chuckled and put the money into his pocket. After being scolded by his eldest brother, he immediately felt at ease. + +The old man also gave Tian Xinhua his share. Tian Xinhua was very excited. He was finally able to make money. This was all brought to him by A-nan. Tian Xinhua was more grateful to Tian Sisi than anyone else and was determined in his heart to protect A-nan and not tell her secrets, not even to his parents. + +After the money was divided, the old man waved his hand and told everyone to go to bed. Tian Mantong would not go back to town tonight, so he would sleep at home one night. He and Tian Manyin moved dozens of ten-pound jars from the car. He bought these jars in Shanghai. You can't buy too many at once in the town, otherwise it will arouse others' suspicion. A cunning rabbit has three burrows. He can't be inferior to a rabbit no matter what. + +When Tian Manyin returned to the room, Zhu Aiqing was waiting for him. Seeing him come in, he hurriedly asked: "How much money did our family share?" + +"Didn't you know? Ninety yuan. Dad just gave me the money. Third brother and Mantong didn't give it to him." Tian Manyin handed the ninety yuan to his wife, and made up his mind to write a letter to third brother to explain. Third brother was fine, but the third sister-in-law was not sure. If she knew, she would definitely quarrel with third brother. + +Zhu Aiqing happily took the ninety yuan and counted it over and over again, with joy on her eyebrows. Seeing her husband's sad face, she asked in confusion: "What's wrong with you? Are you not happy after getting the money?" + +Tian Manyin expressed his worries, and Zhu Aiqing's joy also cooled down a lot. Alas, among so many sisters-in-law, this third sister-in-law is the most difficult to get. She is mean-spirited, has a sharp mouth, and loves to take advantage. I don't know why the third brother chose such a wife in the first place? + +"How about we don't take all the money and simply divide it into three parts, one for our family, the third brother's family, and the Mantong family, so as to avoid conflicts in the family in the future and make my mother unhappy." Zhu Aiqing came up with an idea. Although it hurt her to be short of two-thirds of the money, it was still worth it to be able to spend money to buy peace. + +Tian Manyin held his wife's face and kissed her hard, smiling gratefully at her. In fact, that was what he had just thought, but he was afraid that Ai Qing would disagree, so he held back and said nothing. Unexpectedly, Ai Qing took the initiative to bring it up. He was so considerate. + +Zhu Aiqing slapped Tian Manyin's hand away and asked, "Where's grandma's share?" + +Tian Manyin immediately straightened his expression and asked alertly: "What are you asking grandma for with the money?" + +"Why? Of course I put it away for my grandma. She is such an old kid and she doesn't know how to collect money. She will definitely spend it randomly. Didn't she spend all the New Year's money she received every New Year and didn't save a penny. I have to keep the ninety yuan for her to prevent her from spending it randomly again." Zhu Aiqing rolled her eyes at her husband. + +Tian Manyin chuckled, "My grandma asked me to keep it for her first and wait until she sees the money tomorrow." + +"Why do I ask you to collect it for her? Why don't you two believe me?" Zhu Aiqing's eyes widened and she was about to go crazy. + +Tian Manyin hurriedly blew out the oil lamp and flattered his wife, "Why don't I believe you? Grandma has never seen so much money before and wants to see it. When she sees it tomorrow, you will still keep it. When has it ever been that you have not been in charge of our family's money?" + +Zhu Aiqing wanted to say something more, but her husband kissed her on the mouth and pressed her whole body down. After a while, a shameful voice sounded in the room. How could Zhu Aiqing, who was so moved, remember the money thing? Tian Manyin worked hard for her daughter, even resorting to beauty tricks. + +ps: Thank you to I Love Myself xx, anna0626, Zhuo Ran, Yuzi So Handsome, Still Water Abyss, Fat Girl 0915, 123 Listen, Shi Ru First Met z and several cute little mushrooms, thank you for your support! \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/09/eng_cont/i_0052.txt b/09/eng_cont/i_0052.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..cc530e1ea4fb8d0930e95c2ec4d6ad183c948cb1 --- /dev/null +++ b/09/eng_cont/i_0052.txt @@ -0,0 +1,61 @@ +Chapter 52 turn in. + +Early the next morning, Tian Mantong went back.

Why did she work so hard to earn money? Isn’t it just to buy a camera? + +"Camera? Why did you buy that thing? I didn't hear your brother-in-law say that it is the most expensive thing. How can our family afford you to waste money like this? Don't buy it." Zhu Aiqing objected without thinking. She didn't bother to be polite to Tian Sisi and just went to take the money from her hand. + +Tian Sisi jumped up and ran behind the old man. Her father could not protect her at this time, and her grandfather was more reliable. Tian Sisi poked her head out from behind the old man and shouted, "I can make money myself. I just want a camera, so that I can take a lot of beautiful photos, and I can also take photos of my grandpa, mom, and dad, and they will be all over the walls of our house in the future." + +"You're getting better, right? You've been thinking about taking pictures every day since you were young. Your mother has never taken a few pictures in her entire life! Hand over the money quickly. She doesn't want you to pay ninety, so you can hand over eighty." Zhu Aiqing finally relented first and offered to take eighty. + +"No, I want to share my money myself. Mom, the camera is really good. Dress yourself up beautifully, take pictures and save them. You can look at them whenever you want. How great! Besides, I will make a lot of wine in the future, and I will definitely not leave you short of money." Tian Sisi saw that Zhu Aiqing's tone was loose, and she immediately tried her best to convince her. + +Zhu Aiqing looked a little hesitant, but she had to say that Tian Sisi's statement moved her quite a bit. What woman doesn't love beauty and doesn't want to preserve her youthful and beautiful appearance? When Tian Sisi saw something going on, she started acting coquettishly and almost rolled on the ground. The old man just watched with a smile and did not interrupt, wanting to see if Tian Sisi could convince his daughter-in-law. + +Tian Sisi saw that Zhu Aiqing was still not relenting. She gritted her teeth and divided the ninety yuan into three parts, each of which was thirty yuan. She handed one of the parts to Mrs. Zhao and said with a sweet smile: "My dear, this is for you. You and grandpa can spend it however you want." + +Mrs. Zhao was so happy that her granddaughter wanted to honor her. She really loved her grandma in vain. She wanted to refuse, but then she thought that if she didn't accept the money and put it on grandma, the small things would be spent randomly. She should keep it safe for grandma. Mrs. Zhao took the money and put it carefully into her pocket, kissed Tian Sisi's face a few times, and ran to the kitchen happily to serve breakfast. + +Zhu Aiqing's expression calmed down. As long as grandma is willing to hand it over, the same goes for her mother-in-law. Tian Sisi handed another thirty yuan to Zhu Aiqing and said flatteringly: "Mom, this is for you. The ninety yuan will be divided equally between the three of us. This is okay, right? You can't ask me for money anymore." + +Tian Sisi held the remaining thirty yuan tightly, fearing that Zhu Aiqing would snatch it again. Her vigilant look was like that of a puppy guarding its food. Zhu Aiqing was still a little dissatisfied. In her opinion, thirty yuan was too much for a child. Some families couldn't even afford thirty yuan! + +The old man had finished watching the show and decided, "Then let it be like this. From now on, Grandma will divide her share of the money as it is today. Grandma's share of the money will be at her own disposal, so we don't have to worry about her." + +The father-in-law said this, and Zhu Aiqing had no choice but to agree. She collected the thirty yuan and warned Tian Sisi sternly again, "You can keep these thirty yuan for yourself, don't spend it carelessly." + +"I won't spend anything randomly, don't worry, Mom. I will save up to buy a camera. Then I will take pictures of everyone in the family, and I will make sure to take the most beautiful photos of you, Mom."

She scolded "Little Monster" and went to the kitchen to help with the dishes. + +Tian Sisi breathed out heavily and stretched out her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead. Alas, my mother is really difficult to deal with! The old man and Tian Manyin were very happy to see Tian Sisi playing tricks and behaving well. Donghua and Qinghua looked at Tian Sisi with envy.

Sister will take care of that. You can eat as much as you want." + +Donghua and Qinghua's eyes were bright. If the old man hadn't been sitting there, they would have jumped up.

I'll let you all eat enough by then." + +"We also have a share?" Jianguo couldn't believe it. In his opinion, this period of time was the most comfortable life for him and his two brothers. They had enough food, warm clothes, and no one bullied them. Moreover, the people here were not like the villagers in Huangkeng Village, who looked at the three brothers with disdain. Although some people were gossiping, Jianguo felt very satisfied. He didn't expect Sister Sisi to take them to the town to buy meat buns to eat. + +"Of course, you are my brothers just like Donghua and Tsinghua, how come you don't have a share?" Tian Sisi's words almost made Jianguo Weiguo blush. Only the little guy Baoguo was giggling heartlessly and kept repeating "meat buns". At this time, who would have thought that such a silly boy would turn out to be a world-famous brain doctor in the future. What a person! + +Tian Sisi patted Baoguo's little face. The little guy had gained a lot of flesh during this period. His face was chubby and very elastic when pinched. Tian Sisi squeezed it several times. It felt really good.

Donghua couldn't stand it anymore and reached out to take Tian Sisi's hand away. + +"Sister, Baoguo has been pinched so much that it hurts." + +Tian Sisi finally came to her senses.

We'll wait until grandpa gets the grain back. Also, we can't make wine too frequently, so as not to arouse suspicion." Tian Xinhua reminded Tian Sisi unhurriedly. + +Tian Sisi then remembered that what she and the old man were talking about to the outside world was the grain they bought! But when Tian Xinhua said this, did he discover something? Tian Sisi glanced at Tian Xinhua for a few times, with an inscrutable face, like a little fox, nothing could be seen from his face alone. + +Tian Xinhua was secretly amused. The little girl was quite alert. He patted Tian Sisi on the head and said with a smile, "We'll brew it in a few days. Just two or three times a month. Not too much." + +"Yeah." Tian Sisi also understands that brewing too much may cause trouble, and the current market does not have such a large demand. Two or three times a month is enough. + +"Brother Xinhua, what's the name of that move you did at my sister's place that day? Can I practice it too?" Tian Sisi suddenly remembered Tian Xinhua's hand splitting stick at Tian Manlan's place last time. It was really cool. + +"That's internal kung fu, taught by grandpa. Didn't grandpa teach us all before? You complained that it hurts and stopped practicing after practicing for less than three days. Why do you want to practice again now?" Tian Xinhua looked at Tian Sisi with a half-smile. + +Tian Sisi looked embarrassed. How did she know she had practiced before? The original owner's memory was intermittent, but she couldn't remember this part of the martial arts training. She smiled guiltily, "Didn't I forget?

From now on, you will have to protect me! I will follow you." + +Just kidding, she can't stand getting up at five in the morning, let alone running ten kilometers with a sandbag and standing on a pile for two hours? She planned to be a delicate and soft beauty, but she didn't want to become a big-bodied and round-waisted tomboy. + +Tian Xinhua was not surprised at all. In his opinion, Grandma just went crazy for a moment. With her delicate temperament, how could she eat and practice? But he was still very satisfied with Tian Sisi's words, "Okay, you can follow me from now on, and I'll make sure no one dares to bully you." + +In the next half month, Tian Sisi and Tian Xinhua made two more wines, each time weighing 500 kilograms. Tian Mantong sold them at a price of 2. 5 yuan per kilogram, but these two times he sold them to other cities. Likewise, he still saved one yuan for Tian Sisi, and the two families also divided the money twice. + +None of the men in the Tian family gave details about why they shared the money. They just said that the old man took care of their family. Only Li Yuedi and Jin Wanming knew a little bit. They knew that the money was obtained by the old man arranging work for Xinhua. They didn't know what it was for, and they didn't ask much. When they got the money back, they kept it. Seeing more and more money, they felt more and more happy. They had money in their hands, so they didn't panic. + +Tian Sisi had nearly 700 yuan in her hand. The old man gave the money to Tian Sisi after deducting Tian Mantong's urn money. She was shocked. She originally wanted not to accept it, but at the old man's insistence, Tian Sisi had no choice but to accept it and promised the old man that she would never spend the money carelessly. + +Tian Sisi also asked Tian Mantong for the camera and quietly gave him 150 yuan, asking him to ask someone to help him buy one. Although Tian Mantong thought the camera was not a good thing, his niece liked it, so he agreed and promised to buy it for his grandmother as soon as possible. + +Tian Sisi smiled and took out another two-kilogram bottle of wine and handed it to Tian Mantong. This wine was the same as the old man's, with the addition of agar liquor. He gave Tian Mantong a bottle last time. After drinking it, he knew the benefits. Now that he had it, he hurriedly put it away. The wine was good, but he couldn't drink more. A few nights ago, he was greedy and drank a small glass too much. As a result, he ran to the yard to take a cold shower and took three large basins of water to stop the fever. + +With the camera found, Tian Sisi finally achieved a small goal. She didn't plan to put the money she had in the bank to save it. There is no safer place in the world than space. Tian Sisi took a biscuit box, put 500 yuan in it and kept it, and put about 40 yuan of loose money outside for easy access. + +Another weekend is here. Last time, I promised to take the little ones to the town to buy meat buns. However, there are no buses to the town in Yuequan Village at this time. It is either No. 11 or riding a bicycle, or waiting for the tractor in the village to go to town and taking the opportunity to take a ride. Therefore, Tian Sisi can only wait for the tractor to go to town, and then she will take a few little ones with her. + +She had already inquired about it. Zhong Fugao was going to the town purchasing station at noon this Saturday to help the villagers sell things. She had already said hello to Zhong Fugao and would bring her and her brothers with him.

His father, Zhong Boqiang, drank a small glass that night. It was so beautiful. + +The Tian family is so loyal, how could he not agree to such a trivial matter? So on Saturday, Tian Sisi took a few little carrots and got on the tractor. Tian Sisi, the youngest of the Baoguo team, did not dare to take them with her. She only took the four of Donghua, Tsinghua, Jianguo and Weiguo. Tian Shouhua, Tian Xinhua, and Tian Qinghua did not go because they had to help the family. However, Tian Sisi promised to bring meat buns back for them to eat, so Tian Sisi was the oldest in the small team this time.

After buying the things, they would wait for him where they were. Tian Sisi obediently agreed, "Uncle Fugao, don't worry, I will buy things with my brothers at the supply and marketing cooperative. We will go in to find my aunt in a while. Everything will be fine." + +Zhong Fugao then left with peace of mind. He knew that Tian Mantong's wife worked in the supply and marketing cooperative, which was why he left Tian Sisi and the others at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative. + +Tian Sisi took Jianguo and the others to the entrance of the hotel first.

Their restaurant only steamed a total of thirty meat buns a day, and it hadn't opened yet. Unexpectedly, this little girl made them all at once. Whose daughter is this? Why spend so much money on this little girl? + +However, she still changed the money to Tian Sisi very quickly, and wrapped the buns in paper, and reminded her with a smile to be careful about ironing them. In her opinion, this little girl's family was either rich or noble, and her parents must be great people, and they must be treated well. + +Tian Sisi took four buns and handed them to Donghua and the other four, telling them to eat them quickly. When Jianguo saw that Tian Sisi didn't want to eat, he didn't eat either. Donghua said from the side, "Brother Jianguo, eat it quickly. My sister doesn't like meat buns, and she didn't eat them last time either." + +There was no one who didn't like meat buns. Jianguo didn't believe it. Tian Sisi had no choice but to take a bite from the bun in his hand. The buns were still so solid and greasy. Seeing Tian Sisi's expression, Jianguo really didn't like eating them. Then Jianguo believed that Tian Sisi really didn't like meat buns, so he ate them. This was his first time eating meat buns. They were so delicious! + +At this time, a man's deep and clear voice sounded: "Waiter, here are ten meat buns." + +Tian Sisi, who was about to leave, looked up when she heard the sound. He was a man in his thirties, tall, with a slim appearance, and as gentle as jade. He was wearing a neat and clean tunic suit, which made the man look more handsome. However, his face was a little pale, and he coughed lightly from time to time. He thought he was not in good health. + +When the fat waiter saw such a handsome man, his heart jumped immediately. Oh, where did this handsome man come from? He's even more handsome than a movie star! When she heard that the handsome man wanted to buy meat buns, she said regretfully: "I'm so sorry, a little girl just bought all the meat buns." + +"Here, it was the little girl who bought it." The fat waiter said excitedly, pointing at Tian Sisi who had not yet left. + +The man heard the sound and looked towards Tian Sisi. At this moment, Tian Sisi also happened to look towards him. The two happened to meet each other, and the man couldn't help being shocked, it seemed! It really seems! Could it be her? + +And Tian Sisi only felt that this man was indeed very different. He really echoed the sentence "Standing like a orchid and a jade tree, smiling like a bright moon in one's arms." The most important thing was that she felt that this man was very kind, as if she had seen him before somewhere. + +"Dad, what's wrong with you?" A boy of about ten years old next to the man reminded him. The boy was tall and strong, with a tiger-like head and a tiger-like head. He looked quite cute. + +The man finally came to his senses and smiled apologetically at Tian Sisi. He was so rude just now and stared at the little girl for so long. Tian Sisi didn't take it seriously. She nodded to the man and pulled her four brothers away. + +The man looked at Tian Sisi's back and lost his mind again. From the back, it looked more like him. He covered his mouth and coughed a few times, frowning slightly. The fat waiter felt heartbroken when he saw her. He was so jealous of her beauty! + +The man turned his head and asked with a smile: "Which family does this little girl come from? There are not many girls like this in this small town." + +The fat waiter wished she could talk to the man more, so she replied: "No, you can buy thirty meat buns in one go, which is not something ordinary people can afford. But it seems that her family is not in the town. It seems to be from a village. The last time she came to buy buns, there was a man who brought her here. It seems to be her father, and those little boys seem to be her brothers." + +The man chatted with the fat waiter for a while, and became familiar with the situation in Wangjia Town. The boy next to him urged him: "Dad, I'm so hungry." + +"It's Dad, isn't it? He was so focused on chatting that he forgot to buy food. Waiter, bring us two bowls of shredded pork noodles." The man smiled and touched the boy's head, pulled him into the restaurant, and chose a seat facing the door. He could just see the situation of the supply and marketing cooperative opposite. He just saw the little girl and her four brothers entering the supply and marketing cooperative. + +The shredded pork noodles were served quickly. The portion was very generous, and the shredded pork was also on the tip. It seemed that the fat waiter was doing something private. The man nodded and smiled at the fat waiter and thanked him. The fat waiter suddenly blushed with embarrassment, which made him feel a little more charming. + +The boy seemed to be very hungry. He took the noodles and ate them with big mouthfuls. He was not afraid of the heat at all. Upon seeing this, the man picked the shredded meat in his bowl to the boy and asked him to eat slowly. He also took the chopsticks and started eating slowly. His movements were very elegant and gentle, which was pleasing to the eye. + +The boy had a very good appetite and finished one bowl of noodles quickly. The man ordered another bowl of noodles for him. After eating two bowls of noodles, he even drank the noodle soup. The boy burped with satisfaction and wiped his mouth with his sleeve. + +"Chengsi, how did I teach you not to wipe your mouth with your sleeves? Didn't I buy you a handkerchief?" The man frowned. + +"Dad, handkerchiefs are only for women. I am a man, how can I act like a woman!" The boy named Cheng Si retorted confidently. + +The man smiled, but did not force his son to use a handkerchief. Instead, he took out a blue plaid handkerchief from the right pocket of his coat and wiped his lips gently. The boy smiled awkwardly and said flatteringly, "Except for dad, of course. He is the only man in the world who doesn't look like a woman when he uses a handkerchief." + +The man rolled his eyes at his son and took out one yuan from the black leather bag he carried with him. A bowl of shredded pork noodles was 28 cents. Three bowls of noodles were 84 cents. The change was 16 cents. The man took the change from the fat waiter and put it into his bag. The man's hands were very beautiful, with long fingers and neatly manicured nails. Unlike many men who had dirt between their fingernails. In later generations, this kind of hand would be called the hand of an artist. + +When the fat waiter saw the man's flawless hands, and then looked at his own plump hands with deep pits exposed, he immediately felt ashamed. He didn't dare to raise his head and gave the change to the man. The man smiled, said "see you later" to the fat waiter, and left with his son. + +Tian Sisi bought a lot of things at the supply and marketing cooperative, including biscuits, cigarettes, lamp oil, batteries, soy sauce, vinegar, etc., and packed them into a basket bit by bit. Wang Qiumeng wrapped the things for her one by one, and also handed her a few beautiful bouquets, saying they were new products from the supply and marketing cooperative. When the goods arrived, she was asked to wear them and play with them. Tian Sisi was not polite and took them and put them away. She also took out a piece of meat of about two kilograms from the basket and gave it to Wang Qiumeng without anyone noticing. She pretended that the empress had asked her to bring it. Wang Qiumeng believed it and happily accepted the meat. + +Zhong Fugao's tractor came suddenly. Wang Qiumeng carried the basket onto the tractor for Tian Sisi and asked Zhong Fugao to take care of the children. Then he returned to the supply and marketing cooperative.

He was shocked and hurriedly returned the buns to Tian Sisi, "Ana, this is impossible. Uncle Fu Gao can't ask for your child's food. You can eat the buns yourself." + +"We have all eaten. This is specially left for you, Uncle Fugao. If Uncle Fugao doesn't eat it, we won't ride on Uncle Fugao's tractor in the future." Tian Sisi pouted and pretended to be unhappy. + +After rejecting it several times, Zhong Fugao finally couldn't resist Tian Sisi's coquettishness and rogueness. He took out one of the buns and ate it. The oily meat filling was so fragrant that he almost cried. He hadn't eaten such delicious meat buns in many years! Zhong Fugao finished one bun in three bites, resisting the urge to eat more, and put the remaining four buns under the seat cushion, preparing to take them back to his family. + +Zhong Fugao started the tractor and was about to drive back when a shout came from behind, "Comrade, wait a minute, our father and son are going to Luoling Village. I heard that you are going to Yuequan Village. Please give me a ride, comrade." + +The one who shouted was the handsome man whom he met in the hotel just now. People at this time are very enthusiastic. It is very common for people to give him a ride on the road. Zhong Fugao nodded and let the two father and son get on the tractor.

Zhong Fuguo was very enthusiastic, and within a few words he and the man became brothers. + +"My name is He Xuewen. Congratulations on the founding of New China.

He introduced his name and took out another cigarette from his arms and handed it over. + +Zhong Fugao put the cigarette into his mouth this time, and the man took out a lighter and lit it for him. Zhong Fugao puffed up the cigarette happily. High-end cigarettes are so comfortable to smoke. He blew out a smoke ring with satisfaction and said, "What are we farmers like? My surname is Zhong, and my name is Fugao. Zhong of clocks, blessings of blessing, and joy of happiness. Brother He, just call me Fugao." + +"Brother Zhong, I think your village should be a treasure. It has raised a capable man like Brother Zhong, a pretty girl like this little girl, and these few young people are all rare and good characters."

We are just farmers, but my nieces and nephews are indeed good people. Brother He has a good vision." + +Tian Sisi smiled at the man. She saw that He Xuewen's son was stiff-headed and looked a little silly, so she felt good about it. She thought that the two fathers and sons had gone to buy buns before, but they were all bought by herself, so she took out a warm bun from the basket and handed it to He Chengsi. + +He Chengsi was attracted by the fragrant meat buns in front of him and drooled. However, he still turned to look at his father. He Xuewen touched his son's head affectionately and said, "You can accept the food my sister has given you, but you have to thank my sister." + +"Thank you sister, I'll treat you to something delicious if I have something delicious in the future." The boy's eyes lit up, and he grabbed the bun, but he had to let He Xuewen take a bite first, and then he started to eat it with big mouthfuls. He devoured one bun in two or three bites. + +"Brother He is so lucky to have such a strong son, one of whom can stand up to three of them!" Zhong Fugao couldn't help but feel envious when he saw He Chengsi who looked like a calf. Why do rural people love to have sons? Isn't it because men are stronger and can do more work?

Unknowingly, Zhong Fugao was led to say a lot about Tian Sisi. However, He Xuewen's questioning skills were very clever. Neither the person involved nor Zhong Fugao noticed it. However, Jianguo did. He looked at He Xuewen with a somewhat unkind look. Why did this man always ask about his cousin? Is he a kidnapper? + +Thinking that Jianguo was busy staring at He Xuewen, his little body was sitting upright with a vigilant expression, for fear that this man would snatch his sister Sisi away. He Xuewen was shocked by Jianguo's eyes. This little boy's senses were so keen. He immediately changed the topic and stopped talking about Tian Sisi. + +When they arrived at Luoling Village, He Xuewen and He Chengsi got out of the car first, thanked Zhong Fu loudly, and said, "If I can't find the medicinal materials I need in Daqingshan, I will really have to go to Brother Zhong to bother me, and I will have to ask Brother Zhong to take care of me." + +"It's a good time to catch up. Then I'll be waiting for Brother He to come to our Yuequan Village. You two, please be careful when going up the mountain. See you later!" Zhong Fugao was very happy. People nowadays are very hospitable. Regardless of whether the family has food or not, as long as someone is willing to come and bother, it means that the host's family has a wide range of people, which is a very respectable thing. + +"Daddy, do we really have to go up the mountain to find medicinal materials?" He Chengsi finally couldn't help but ask out loud. Just now in the town, his dad suddenly decided to come to this mountain nest, which made him confused. Originally, they had planned to find a hotel to sleep one night and go to Suicheng the next day. + +"Of course I won't go. Let's find a place to deal with tonight and go to Yuequan Village in two days." He Xuewen was in a very good mood. + +"Why are we going to Yuequan Village? Aren't we going to Suicheng? Didn't you say that we can make a lot of money by going to Suicheng this time?" He Chengsi didn't understand. + +"There is endless money to be made. Dad has more important things to do now. Don't ask too much, Chengsi. If it is really confirmed this time, dad will have no regrets even if he dies." He Xuewen sighed. He knew very well that his body was not getting better every year. If there was no result, he didn't know whether he would be able to fulfill his wish before he died. + +"Bah, dad, you are talking nonsense again.

With his dilapidated body, he was lucky to live past his forties, but he was really unwilling to do so! He still has a lot of things that he hasn't started to do.

Seeing the lonely look on He Xuewen's face, He Chengsi hurriedly spoke out to liven up the atmosphere. + +Sure enough, a smile appeared on He Xuewen's face, and he scolded softly: "I told you, you can't say that outside, you have to call me sister." + +"I'm just talking in front of daddy, daddy, do you think my wife is good-looking or not? But if she is like the little sister who gave me meat buns today, it would be okay. If she is as good-looking as daddy, that would be even better!" He Chengsi's words made He Xuewen dumbfounded. At that time, he was just making a casual joke, but he didn't know that this brat took it seriously. + +"You brat, are you too tight-lipped to even make daddy's jokes? Hurry up and walk. We'll find someone to stay overnight." He Xuewen coughed slightly, but his sadness was diluted by his son's words. + +He Chengsi walked forward with a smile, as long as his father didn't have a sad face.

Two days ago, the old man complained that the radio didn't sound loud enough and asked Tian Manyin to buy a new one. + +The old man was weeding the vegetable field in the backyard. After a few spring rains, the grass in the field grew green and green. Tian Sisi replaced the new battery, took the radio and turned on the radio.

You can eat them after they are steamed in the evening." + +"Okay, let's eat meat buns tonight." The old man spat into the palm of his hand and hoeed the grass at a faster pace. He worked vigorously.

She interrupted with a smile, "Oh, grandpa, you threw away all the good things. Look, there are a lot of shepherd's purse and malan in these grasses? Oh, there are also amaranths. I have to pick them out and let the queen cook them at night." + +Tian Sisi originally wanted to change the topic, but this sight really made her see a lot of wild vegetables, and she became interested immediately.

Alas, he is not in that position now, and his abilities are limited! In the past, it wouldn't have been so laborious to get someone out, but then again, if he was still in his original position, maybe the result would be the same as those old friends! + +The days are still passing day by day, and the weather is getting warmer. Yuequan Mountain is showing a lively scene. Although it has not reached the point where a hundred flowers are blooming, the peach, apricot and plum trees on the mountain are in full bloom. Tian Sisi has gone to the mountain several times to cut flower branches and put them in the house. Several villages of delicate flower branches were placed in every room, adding a touch of spring color to this simple farmhouse. The winemaking of her and Tian Xinhua was still going on in an orderly manner. Not only were the pockets of the two families getting bigger and bigger, but the treasury of Tian Xinhua and Tian Sisi were also getting bigger and bigger. + +Today is March 25th, another Saturday. There are no classes in the afternoon. The weekend at this time is only one and a half days, with only half a day off on Saturday and one day off on Sunday. The work in the fields was almost done, and the villagers were not as busy as before. Because Tian Bajin's family had a lot of money during this period, they no longer allowed Tian Xinhua and the younger ones to work in the fields to earn work points, and allowed them to play with their younger brothers and sisters. + +After lunch, Tian Sisi took a basket and went to the mountains to pick Qingming grass. The scientific name of Qingming grass is sage grass, also known as sage grass. Its shape is very similar to the mugwort hanging on the Dragon Boat Festival and Double Ninth Festival. However, Qingming grass is not mugwort, but an edible wild vegetable. Every year after spring and before Qingming, this grass is at its most tender. People in the city will pick the young stems and leaves of this grass and go back to make Qingming fruit to eat. + +There are three types of Qingming fruit. One is a salty fruit rolled like a dumpling, and the filling is stir-fried with pickles, laodoufu (tofu made with salt), winter bamboo shoots, and pork belly. It is very delicious. The other is a ginkgo without Qingming grass. It is a salty fruit with a skin made of pure rice flour and is shaped into a dumpling shape. There is also a snow dumpling, which is to knead the Qingming fruit into a nest, put bean paste filling or jujube paste filling inside, then shape it into a dumpling shape, dip the glutinous rice soaked in water on the outside, and after steaming, the green dumpling will be wrapped with crystal clear glutinous rice, like snowflakes, very beautiful, so it is called snow dumpling. + +Tian Sisi doesn't like sweet stuffing, but she loves the appearance of snow dumplings. In her previous life, she made her own snow dumplings with salty fillings, which attracted many friends and relatives to imitate them. Tian Sisi couldn't help but regret it at that time. She should apply for a patent or something, and call this Qingming fruit "Sisi brand Qingming fruit". + +When she went up the mountain to cut peach blossom branches this time, Tian Sisi found that the Qingming grass on the ground was as long as half a hand. It was green and fragrant at the most fragrant time. Thinking of the fragrance and softness of the Qingming fruit, Tian Sisi made an appointment with Zhong Meiying to go to the mountain to pick Qingming grass. Also going there were Zhong Juying, Zhong Anmei, etc. There were several girls from Zhongjiawan, Zhong Yuying was among them, but she only walked at the back and couldn't be seen without looking carefully. In addition, there was Zhong Fugao's daughter Zhong Wanhua. She was 12 years old. She was a dark and thin girl, but very capable. She was the most satisfactory candidate for a daughter-in-law in the eyes of the elderly. + +Tian Xinhua felt relieved when he saw so many girls following him, but he still told Tian Sisi repeatedly not to talk to Zhong Yuying or get too close to her. Tian Sisi waved her hand impatiently. She was not a child, so how could she be bullied by a 12-year-old girl, but Tian Sisi was too happy too early. + +The group of people went up the mountain in a mighty manner. The sun has been shining brightly these days, and the Qingming grass looks greener and more fragrant after being illuminated by the sun. Although Tian Sisi is not afraid of Zhong Yuying, she is not willing to get too close to Zhong Yuying, so she, Zhong Meiying, Zhong Juying, Zhong Anmei and Zhong Wanhua use scissors to cut the tender stems and leaves on the Qingming grass. + +Because Zhong Juying wore warm clothes during this period and Tian Sisi secretly brought food to their family from time to time, her food was not as bad as before. Her face looked much better and her hair was tied neatly. She looked like a handsome girl. Speaking of which, Zhao Manxiu and Zhong Shigen were both good-looking, and the daughter they gave birth to would not be any worse. + +Zhong Shouliang was a man who knew how to repay kindness. He often sneaked outside their yard at night and put either a pot of eels or some snails or white striped fish. And these things happened to be the things that the old man loved to eat. Originally, even if Zhong Shouliang didn't send them, he would have asked Tian Manyin to get them. Now that there isIf it works, that would be better, but he secretly asked Tian Sisi to send more grain to Zhong Shouliang's family, treating it as if they had obtained it in exchange for these things. Of course Tian Sisi had no problem, so one sent more and more food, and the other sent more and more eels and loaches. The happiest one was the old man, who smiled every day. + +During this time, Zhong Meiying went up the mountain with Tian Sisi to cut peach blossoms several times, and the two of them got acquainted a lot. When she saw that Tian Sisi's white and tender hands were stained with a lot of green grass juice, she said to Tian Sisi, "Sisi, you'd better go and have a rest.

Zhong Anmei said happily with the candy in her mouth. + +Tian Sisi really didn't want to pick Qingming grass anymore. Everything was ready-made and delicious. It was really troublesome to get it by herself. She could also use this excuse to send a few more Qingming grass to them. For friends with similar personalities, she didn't mind helping out. + +Zhong Yuying squatted in the distance and saw Tian Sisi and Zhong Meiying and Zhong Anmei living together in harmony, talking and laughing, with unwillingness in their eyes. In the past, these benefits were all hers, the food on Tian Sisi's body, and the new flower on her head were all enjoyed by her, but now all these are gone. Her status at home has plummeted because of the absence of Tian Sisi's care. She needs to do more and more work. The more she thinks about it, the more unwilling she becomes, and Zhong Yuying stares at Tian Sisi vaguely and resentfully. + +Tian Sisi didn't know this at all. She wanted to go to the mountain col at the other end to pick some peach blossoms so that she could make peach blossom wine next time. She saw a lot of wild peach trees in that mountain col last time, and the large pink peach blossoms looked like a fairyland. + +When Zhong Yuying saw that Tian Sisi was alone, she carefully moved her body little by little, and slowly moved to the entrance of the mountain col. Zhong Yuying stood up and went down the mountain col without anyone noticing. Tian Sisi was packing peach blossoms in a cloth bag under a peach tree. Of course, she had packed most of the peach blossoms into the space. The ones outside were just for cover. + +"Sisi, are you picking peach blossoms? Let me pick them for you." It turned out that Zhong Yuying still refused to give up. It was too difficult to find someone like Tian Sisi who was not short of money and easy to cheat in Yuequan Village, so she had to turn to Tian Sisi again. + +Tian Sisi frowned. Why is this Zhong Yuying lingering? She turned around and said coldly: "No, I can pick it myself. Zhong Yuying, don't you understand human speech? I already said I don't want to be friends with you, why are you still pestering me?" + +"Sisi, weren't we good friends before? Why did you suddenly become like this? If you point out what I'm doing wrong, can't I change it?" Zhong Yuying, who secretly hated her in her heart, still looked weak and begged in a low voice. + +"No, I just don't want to be friends with you anymore, Zhong Yuying, please don't always act like this in front of me in the future, it annoys me." After saying that, Tian Sisi turned her back and wanted to pick peach blossoms under another peach tree. + +The face of Zhong Yuying, who was disappointed and then despaired, was extremely distorted. She seemed to see her future, like a big sister doing endless work every day, eventually marrying a rude man, having children, and becoming an old woman before she was thirty. No, she didn't want to be that kind of person, Tian Sisi, why do you want to ruin my life? + +Zhong Yuying was filled with hatred, her head was dizzy, and she rushed towards Tian Sisi. With a push with both hands, Tian Sisi rolled down the mountain col. Under the mountain col was a deep pit. People in Yuequan Village called it the "Tiger Pit."There is a tiger inside, and you can't get out if you fall in. Therefore, when people from Yuequan Village pass by this mountain col, they will stay away from this pit. But Tian Sisi doesn't know. How could she know that there are hidden traps in the beautiful peach blossom forest. + +Standing on the col, Zhong Yuying trembled and looked down. The entrance to the pit was covered by weeds, and it was impossible to tell that someone had just rolled in. She looked down with a sinister smile, "Tian Sisi, since you don't want to be friends with me, then go and be friends with ghosts in the underworld." + +It has to be said that Zhong Yuying's psychological quality is absolutely first-rate. She was still so calm just after doing such a murderous thing. Zhong Yuying straightened her hair, pretended to urinate and came back, then hurriedly walked out and continued to squat on the spot to pick Qingming grass. She also said a few words to her companions next to her from time to time. However, she was still young after all, and her hands that cut Qingming grass kept shaking, and her face was a little pale. + +"Yuying, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" The girl next to Zhong Yuying asked in confusion. + +"No, I was just scared. When I went to relieve myself, I saw a four-legged snake crawling over my feet. It scared me a lot." Zhong Yuying's heart skipped a beat and she explained with a smile. + +"The four-legged snake is the most disgusting. I saw one in my yard last time and it made me jump out of fright." The girl believed it and felt sorry for it, and discussed the horror of the four-legged snake with Zhong Yuying. + +Tian Sisi was caught off guard and was pushed by Zhong Yuying, causing her to fall down. By the time she reacted and was about to enter the space, her butt had already landed heavily on the ground. Oh, Tian Sisi screamed in pain. The entrance of the pit was covered by vines and weeds. Although it was broad daylight, the pit was dark and she could not see her fingers. She hurriedly took out the flashlight from the space and pressed the switch. + +The pit was in the shape of a gourd, with a small top and a big bottom. It should not be high, otherwise Tian Sisi would not only suffer a pain in her butt if she fell, but would also lose half her life. Even so, Tian Sisi also fell hard. She looked around at the big pit. Fortunately, the pit was relatively refreshing and there were no messy things. Otherwise, she would have been sick even if she had not fallen to death. + +After calming down, Tian Sisi laughed bitterly. She was really too careless. She knew that Zhong Yuying had bad intentions, but she dared to expose her back so harshly. She was really asking for trouble. However, this Zhong Yuying didn't look like a kind-hearted person. Then why was the original owner only deprived of his property in the previous life but not his life? + +Tian Sisi didn't know that the reason why Tian Zhaodi did not die in her previous life was because of her scumbag ex-husband. Although that man was scumbag, he was not completely bad. He seriously warned Zhong Yuying that if he harmed Tian Zhaodi's life, he would never marry Zhong Yuying, which is why Zhong Yuying let Tian Zhaodi go. + +Zhong Yuying, you bastard, huh, let’s see how I deal with you when I get out! Tian Sisi gritted her teeth with hatred. She had remembered this big loss and would definitely get it back tenfold in the future. But now she had to go out. The pit was not deep. She could hear calls for help from inside, right? + +Although the pit was not deep, it was still a long way from Zhong Meiying and the others who were picking Qingming grass above. And because the entrance of the pit was blocked by dense weeds, the sound was weakened a lot, so Tian Sisi screamed at the top of her lungs. Zhong Meiying and the others above did not hear a sound. It was Zhong Juying who noticed after a while that Tian Sisi had not come back, so she took Zhong Anmei and went to the mountain col to search, but found no one. + +Now they were all panicking. Where was Tian Sisi? Zhong Meiying, Zhong Juying, Zhong Anmei and Zhong Wanhua were all anxious and didn't know what to do. They and other girls searched the entire mountain col but found no trace of Tian Sisi. Zhong Juying was so anxious that she almost cried. Zhong Anmei had some ideas. She asked Zhong Meiying to go to Tianjia to report the news, while they stayed on the mountain to continue searching. + +Zhong Yuying pretended to be anxious and mingled with the crowd, but she felt extremely happy in her heart. No one would know that Tian Sisi was in that tiger pit. Tian Sisi might have run out of energy now, right? After receiving the news, the old man and Mrs. Zhao hurried over. Since everyone else was at work, the old man didn't ask Mrs. Zhao to inform them. He came to check out the situation first. According to him, nothing would happen to Grandma, as Master White Ape was taking care of her! + +The old man used his skills as a scout in his early years and looked at the terrain carefully. He found that there were two kinds of footprints on the mountain col. One was smaller, which should be A-nan's, and the other was slightly larger.

Although his voice was not loud, no one dared to be naughty. + +"I know that Zhong Yuying has been there. She went there to relieve herself just now." A girl said in a low voice. It was the girl who had discussed the four-legged snake with Zhong Yuying before. Zhong Yuying looked at the girl hatefully after hearing this. There was no good thing in the world. + +She took a long breath and stood up calmly, "I just went there to relieve myself. I saw Tian Sisi picking peach blossoms there, said hello to her, and came back after saying a few words." + +Zhong Yuying boldly stared into the old man's eyes without dodge at all.

She squeezed her hands tightly unconsciously, exposing the veins, and comforted herself in her heart. No, Tian Sisi must have run out of breath. Even if her body was found, no one would doubt her. Zhong Yuying who thought this calmed down a little. + +The old man called two or three times, but there was no response from below, and his heart gradually sank.

At this time, a weak voice came from below, and the old man suddenly laughed, feeling very good, it's good that Grandma is fine. + +Mrs. Zhao also heard the sound below, and her tears turned into laughter. The old man pulled up the weeds around the pit, revealing a pit as big as the mouth of the well. It was pitch black, but Tian Sisi's voice was heard more clearly, "Grandpa, I'm down there, you put a rope to pull me up." + +When the old man heard his granddaughter's voice, he knew that Grandma was fine, and he felt more stable. He shouted down: "Grandma, wait for grandpa for a while, grandpa will go back and get the rope." + +"What happened here? Do you need help?" A pleasant male voice sounded from above. If Tian Sisi was above, he would definitely recognize this man as He Xuewen, whom he met on the tractor before. As usual, his son He Chengsi was followed next to him. + +"My granddaughter fell into the pit. I have to find a rope to pull her up." As soon as the old man saw He Xuewen, he couldn't help but cheer in his heart. He is such a good talent. + +He Xuewen nodded to He Chengsi and motioned for him to help, "Old comrade, don't worry, I'll ask my son to help you get the people up." + +He Xuesi came to the edge of the pit and jumped down with a little luck, causing all the girls to exclaim. Tian Sisi was startled by the person who suddenly jumped down from above. Through the light coming from above the pit, he discovered that it was He Chengsi whom he had seen before, "Why is it you?" + +"I'll help you up." He Chengsi was also surprised. He had a good impression of the little girl who gave him steamed buns, so he said with a smile. + +He Chengsi looked at the height of the pit. It was about the height of two adults, which was okay. He said to Tian Sisi, "I'll throw you up later, don't be afraid." + +Before Tian Sisi could react, she flew up into the air, like riding a roller coaster. She screamed and landed on the ground. However, He Chengsi used clever force, and it didn't hurt at all when she fell to the ground. When Mrs. Zhao saw her precious granddaughter coming up, she immediately hugged Tian Sisi and started crying. + +"You damn girl, are you going to scare the queen to death? You are not allowed to go up the mountain anymore. The queen is old and can no longer bear the fear." + +Zhong Yuying knew something was wrong when she heard Tian Sisi's voice. She quietly wanted to slip away, but Zhong Anmei and Zhong Meiying, who had been paying attention to her, how could they let her go? They clamped Zhong Yuying on the left and right, "Zhong Yuying, where are you going?" + +Zhong Yuying secretly hated it, but she still forced a smile and said, "I'm going to relieve myself." + +"Didn't you just relieve yourself? Hold it in for now." Zhong Anmei said coldly. She knew that Zhong Yuying was a ghost. Sisi's fall into the pit must have something to do with her. Zhong Juying came over when she saw it and stood behind Zhong Yuying, blocking her way. Zhong Meiying and Zhong Wanhua also came over and blocked her way, trapping Zhong Yuying tightly. + +Zhong Yuying had no choice but to stay where she was, but her heart kept spinning, thinking about how to escape. + +He Xuewen didn't expect that it would be Tian Sisi who fell into the pit. Seeing that the little girl was fine except for being a little embarrassed, he felt relieved. He Chengsi breathed a sigh of relief below. He tapped his toes on the wall of the pit three times, like a swallow copying water, and he jumped into the pit lightly. The old man couldn't help but cheer loudly, "Good work, comrade, your son is really good!" + +"Where? Old comrade, you are exaggerating. Quanzi just learned some three-legged cat kung fu and is not worthy of praise." He Xuewen said modestly. + +He turned around and said, "I know a little bit about medical skills. How about I take a look at my old comrade's granddaughter and see if the little girl is injured?" + +"That's fine, so I'll trouble you, comrade." The old man agreed happily. + +He Xuewen came to Tian Sisi and greeted her with a smile, "Little girl, we meet again." + +"Hello, uncle, are you here to collect herbs from Yuequan Mountain? I just wanted to thank my little brother for rescuing me." Tian Sisi had a good impression of He Xuewen and greeted him with a smile. + +"You're welcome. You invited him to eat meat buns last time. Come on, hold out your hand and I'll take a look at it for you." + +Tian Sisi obediently stretched out her left hand. When He Xuewen saw the delicate silver bracelet on her wrist, his pupils shrank suddenly and he felt ecstatic. It was her, really his treasure! The sky has eyes, and he finally found his daughter before closing his eyes. + +It turned out that He Xuewen was the biological father of the original owner. After he escaped from the rebels, he was covered in bruises and was saved by He Chengsi's master, a Taoist priest who was in trouble. Within two years after he recovered from his injuries, the Taoist priest died of old age. He adopted the Taoist priest's apprentice and named the little Taoist priest He Chengsi, which meant inheriting his longing for his daughter. In the following years, he traveled throughout Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai in order to find his daughter who had been taken away by his wife and ran away. + +He had little hope of finding his daughter, because it was only two months since her daughter left with his wife, and he only found out that his wife and daughter disappeared in Suicheng City. His wife's life and death were unknown, and his daughter was given away by his wife. Furthermore, his daughter's left wrist was wearing a silver bracelet inherited from his family. With only these two clues, it was not easy to find a baby in a huge crowd. + +But the sky did not disappoint him, and he finally found his daughter. He Xuewen concealed his inner excitement, and his face remained calm, but his trembling fingers betrayed his mood. Tian Sisi didn't understand why this uncle looked so excited, and his eyes were so strange, almost the same as when his father looked at her. + +No matter how much she thought about it, Ren Tian Sisi could never imagine that this man would be the biological father of the original owner. This was because He Xuewen did not appear in his previous life, at least before Tian Sisi came, so everyone thought that the biological father of the original owner was long gone. + +He Xuewen gradually calmed down. After checking the joints of Tian Sisi's feet and hands, he said to the old man and Mrs. Zhao, "Your granddaughter is so lucky. Her muscles and bones are fine. She is just a little bruised. Just go back and rub it with medicinal oil to dissolve the congestion." + +Only then did the old man and Mrs. Zhao feel relieved.

After dozens of minutes of observation, he could see that the Tian family loved his daughter very much, and the daughter was also well raised by the Tian family. Should he recognize his daughter? Should he let his daughter wander around with him? He Xuewen's ecstasy at finding his daughter has faded a bit. He is still a person who cannot see the light of day, and those people are still looking for him! + +Are you putting your daughter in danger? No, He Xuewen categorically rejected this idea. He absolutely did not want to see the little baby in any danger, so let her live happily and carefree in this small mountain village. Moreover, Mr. Tian looked like he was from the military. In this turbulent era, Mr. Tian's identity could better protect his daughter. He Xuewen reluctantly made the decision that was best for his daughter. + +Jianguo didn't go to the mountains to collect firewood today. He went to work in the fields with Tian Xinhua and the others. At this moment, he ran over panting. When he saw Tian Sisi lying on Tian Xinhua's back, he was shocked. Tian Sisi waved her hands to indicate that she was fine and told Jianguo not to worry. + +Jianguo was about to ask his cousin what was going on. He suddenly saw He Xuewen following behind, and his mind tightened. What was this person doing? Could it be that this kidnapper has been following them? Jianguo didn't bother to ask Tian Sisi. He rushed to He Xuewen and asked loudly, "Why are you following us? I knew you were not a good person." + +He Chengsi was so angry that he and his father were criticized for doing good deeds. This was a waste of good intentions. He immediately shouted back: "Who wants to follow you? My father and I came here only after being invited by your family. Don't discriminate between good and evil." + +"Jianguo, you can't be rude. They are guests invited by grandpa." Although the old man was surprised that Jianguo, who had always been sensible, would behave like this, he still scolded Jianguo and asked Jianguo to back down. Although the origin of He Xuewen was suspicious, the old man could be sure with his many years of experience that this person did not have any malicious intentions. + +"Grandpa, you don't know him..." Jianguo was anxious. These two people were kidnappers. They must have wanted to sneak into his grandfather's house and abduct his cousin. I heard that those kidnappers specialize in kidnapping beautiful little girls and selling them to some dirty places. Jianguo's eyes turned red when he thought that his cousin might be sold away. + +"The grandson of the old man may have some misunderstandings about my father and son. We rode on Zhong Fugao's tractor in your village two days ago. We talked a few more words at that time, which may have made the little brother think too much. Don't worry, old man, I am definitely not a bad person." He Xuewen also had a headache. He did not expect that this little boy was so sensitive. + +"Brother He, don't worry about it. My grandson is just too worried about his cousin. Come on, let's go into the house and talk together. Why does Brother He come to Yuequan Village this time? Brother He's accent doesn't sound like a local, does it? It sounds like someone from Shanghai?" The old man laughed and laughed., while being polite to He Xuewen, he led the father and son into the house. Although Jianguo was unwilling to accept it, his grandfather had spoken, so he had to hold his breath and glared at He Chengsi. Not to be outdone, He Chengsi glared back at him fiercely, and the two of them just looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes. + +The rest of the Tian family also came back from work. They were all shocked when they heard that Tian Sisi had experienced such a dangerous thing in the afternoon. Tian Baqin smoked a bag of hookah and frowned and said, "This means that the upper beam is crooked and the lower beam is crooked. Zhong Liangcai is not a good person. I didn't expect that the daughter he gave birth to is even less of a thing. You all remember this and keep away from Zhong Liangcai's family when you see them in the future. This family is full of venomous snakes. They will come up and bite you at any time." + +Tian Bajin's last words were addressed to the younger generations of the Tian family. Similarly, parents of many families in Yuequan Village also warned their children that they were all farmers, and all they could think of was to stay away from Zhong Yuying's cruelty. + +Tian Xinhua Jianguo and the others all agreed obediently on the surface, but in their hearts they were determined to teach Zhong Yuying a lesson and let her know the consequences of bullying the Tian family. + +Because there were guests in the evening, Tian Bajin, Tian Mantu, Tian Manmu and other Tian family men stayed to accompany the guests, while the women consciously went to the kitchen to help. Mrs. Zhao cooked all the good dishes at home, including fish, meat, eggs and chicken, and two tables full of hard dishes, which were very rich. She set a separate table of food in another room for the women and children to sit there and eat. A table was set up in the living room, and Tian Sisi was left here by the old man to eat together. This has become a habit of the Tian family. No matter when guests come, Grandma can always sit at the table. + +Tian Xinhua and He Chengsi sat next to Tian Sisi. He Xuewen saw that no one was surprised that Tian Sisi came to dinner. He thought that this was what he was used to. He had a new understanding of how favored his daughter was in the Tian family, and he became even more grateful to the Tian family. + +The old man signaled Tian Xinhua to pour wine for everyone at the table. He first raised his glass and saluted He Xuewen and his son, "Thank you so much for your help today, brother He, father and son. I, Tian Liujin, will do it first as a token of respect." + +He Xuewen smiled brightly and was about to raise his glass to drink, but was pulled by Cheng Si next to him, "Grandpa Tian, let me drink for my father. My father has been injured and cannot drink." + +"It's okay. Dad is happy today. It'll be okay if you drink less." He Xuewen coughed a few times as he said this. His heart was full of annoyance. He was really not up to par. + +"Since you can't drink, then don't drink. Drinking is just to be happy. As long as we have what we want, brother He, you should eat more vegetables." The old man also saw that He Xuewen's health was indeed not good, most likely because of his lung injury. + +Tian Sisi's heart moved. She remembered the "lung-nourishing wine" brewed in space a few days ago. She was probably fine now. Didn't Uncle He have an injured lung? You should be fine after drinking this lung-nourishing wine, right? Tian Sisi didn't know why, she just couldn't see He Xuewen in pain, and she felt extremely uncomfortable when she saw He Xuewen coughing. + +"It's okay, Cheng Si is just too worried about my health. I'm really happy today. It'll be okay if I drink less." He Xuewen really wanted to drink some wine, because he hasn't drank in nearly ten years because of his poor health. It's ridiculous to think that he, a descendant of a well-known wine-making family, can't drink! + +Moreover, just by smelling the aroma, one could tell that the Tian family's shochu was of the highest quality, which attracted the alcohol worm in him. If he didn't drink a few glasses, he wouldn't be able to sleep. When Tian Sisi saw He Xuewen's greedy look, she felt funny in her heart. She didn't expect that the glorious Uncle He was also a alcohol worm. + +"Grandpa, I remember you still have some low-alcohol wine. Uncle He should be fine if he drinks some low-alcohol wine. I'll get it." Tian Sisi said coquettishly to the old man. + +The old man was confused at first, but then he remembered that Lord White Ape had given Grandma some good wine. He nodded and said, "Yes, yes, Grandma didn't tell me, but I forgot about it. Grandma, hurry up and get it." + +Tian Sisi responded, trotted to the old man's room and closed the door. After entering the space, she poured out a bottle of the brewed "lung-nourishing wine" and ran back. She poured it for the old man first. He didn't want it. He didn't want to drink low-alcohol wine. Tian Sisi glared at her and had to agree. + +Others looked at it funny. Grandma was the only one in the family who could control the old man. He Xuewen lowered his head and smelled the wine in the glass. His heart moved, he smiled and clinked the glass with the old man, and drank the wine in one gulp. The wine flowed down He Xuewen's throat, as if a clear spring flowed to his chest, nourishing his lungs that had been dry for many years. In ten years, his lungs had never felt so comfortable, as if the fish after a long drought had finally returned to the river. + +The old man felt the same way. He was happy at first and then panicked. How could Grandma take out this fairy wine to entertain guests? What if someone discovered it? He Xuewen seemed to feel the old man's worry. He asked with a faint smile: "Old man, you must have soaked medicinal materials in the wine. It smells like medicine when I drink it. Yes, this wine is good, it is really good wine." + +The old man felt relieved and said with a smile: "I'm an old man from the country. I don't know anything about medicinal materials. I just dug a few native herbs in the back mountains and brewed them. Hey, if you feel good, drink more." + +Everyone at the table was drinking one cup at a time, while Tian Sisi kept picking up dishes for He Chengsi. He Chengsi refused to accept anyone who came. He saw that He Xuewen seemed to cough less after drinking, so he relaxed and ate wildly. Over the years, he and his father had traveled extensively, and he basically did not join the party. When he was hungry, he would go to restaurants to eat. Although he was full, the taste was not as good as what Tian's grandma cooked. + +When Tian Xinhua saw that Tian Sisi couldn't help but persuade that stupid He Chengsi to eat vegetables, and even gave the stupid guy the chicken legs that belonged to him, his heart was as sour as if he had drank a bowl of vinegar. Huh, didn't he just throw Grandma out of the pit? If he had been there at that time, how would it have been for a stupid guy like you to be in the limelight? + +"My little brother's name is He Chengsi, right? Which one inherits which one?" Tian Xinhua asked with a slight cough. + +"Inherited, missed." He Chengsi swallowed a large piece of meat and said his name. He looked Tian Xinhua up and down and said seriously: "You can't call me little brother. I am much stronger than you and definitely older than you. You have to call me brother." + +Tian Xinhua felt bitter for a while. The thing he was most dissatisfied with about his body was that he was too delicate. Although he had a lot of muscles on his body, he looked thin on the outside. In today's words, "it looks thin, but the flesh is revealed after taking off the body." That's why he is the one who practices the most diligently among all the people in the Tian family, and is also the one with the best kung fu. + +"That's not necessarily true. You're just strong. You may not be as strong as me in terms of strength!" Tian Xinhua was so aroused by He Chengsi that he lost his previous composure. He looked at He Chengsi provocatively, while Shou Jianguo stood by to help Tian Xinhua. He also couldn't stand this guy He Chengsi. Two against one, He Chengsi couldn't say anything. + +"Then let's compete, let's have an arm wrestling match, whoever wins is the brother." He Chengsi also got angry. This boy who looks paler than a girl speaks in a weird way. Huh, didn't I just eat two of your chicken legs, you stingy! + +He Chengdian was actually not stupid, he just looked a little silly. He noticed something was wrong with the pretty boy Tian Xinhua when Tian Sisi was picking up chicken legs for him. He originally wanted to be polite, but when he saw the pretty girl's face, he deliberately ate them all. When he saw the pretty girl's unspeakable expression of pain, he was happy. + +"Let's compete, come here." Tian Xinhua put the dishes and chopsticks aside on the table, came out with an empty space, took off his cotton-padded jacket, and waved for He Chengsi to come over. + +ps: Thank you for the support of many readers such as I Love Myself xx, pixhxxx, Fat Girl 0915, Time is Quiet, Yuko is So Handsome, Maple Leaves Frost Far Away, Shi Ru Chu Jianz, wuluheimao, 123 Listening, Acridine, etc. Thank you all! \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/09/eng_cont/i_0061.txt b/09/eng_cont/i_0061.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..50a7c949d11531fede7273a5373ea261eb6bddc9 --- /dev/null +++ b/09/eng_cont/i_0061.txt @@ -0,0 +1,93 @@ +Chapter 61 Dislike each other. + +The movement between the two attracted the attention of other people at the table. Tian Shouhua smiled brightly and held the cotton-padded jacket for his younger brother. Tian Sisi also became interested and vacated his seat, but still tried to smooth things over. "It's fine to fight arm-in-arm, but who is the older brother and who is the younger brother has to be distinguished by age. My brother Xinhua is born in the year of the rat. Who is brother He?" + +"I am a tiger." He Chengsi reluctantly told his zodiac sign. Hmph, a pretty boy is a pretty boy. She is two years older than him and yet she looks so weak. He then added: "You are older than me but you are not necessarily stronger than me." + +"Then let's compare."

I also want to see who is stronger, your boy or my grandnephew?" + +Others also made noises and said they wanted to watch the fun. They all stopped drinking happily and watched He Chengsi and Tian Xinhua arm-wrestling. Seeing this, He Xuewen stopped insisting and said modestly, "My Chengsi just practiced some tricks and embroidered legs, just because of his strength." + +"If Wudang Kung Fu is all about fancy fists and embroidered legs, then there will be no real Kung Fu in the world. If I read it right, old man, my son He is practicing authentic Wudang Kung Fu!" the old man said with a smile. + +"Mr. Tian, you have really good eyesight. I do practice Wudang Kung Fu. I think you are also very good at it! Ordinary people are not as energetic as you." + +"No, I practice Baji Quan. I learned it from my then squad leader after I joined the army. He is from Henan and is the successor of Baji Quan. Because I learned it late, my bones were all formed, so the results were not very good. Among all my grandchildren, I am the only one who practices it the best. If we fight now, the old man, I am not his opponent." + +The old man smiled a little proudly. He learned Bajiquan too late and his achievements were limited. This was also a big regret for him. Now that Tian Xinhua can become famous, he also feels very happy. + +"Tai Chi has been around for ten years, and Baji has been beating people to death for one year. The old man's boxing is the real enemy-killing Kung Fu!" He Xuewen sighed. + +"Brother He is also an expert. Although I learned it late back then, I still managed to kill a lot of little devils with this Bajiquan. One fist at a time, I beat them to pieces. It was so satisfying!" The old man seemed to have returned to the time when he was killing enemies, dancing and being very excited. + +"Old man, you are truly a national hero!" He Xuewen was in awe. Those brave men who dared to go to the battlefield to fight bravely when foreign enemies invaded were respected. + +"What kind of hero is not a hero? Back then, my whole family was killed by Little Japan, and only two brothers, Bajin and I, were left. If I didn't kill Little Japan to avenge my parents, brothers and sisters, would I still be a man?" The old man's words made Tian Bajin hate him. He could still remember the tragedy of that year. + +"The Japanese are indeed hateful. My grandparents and father were also killed by the Japanese." He Xuewen looked miserable. The He family, which was a well-known brewing family in the country, now only has him and his daughter as a disabled person. It is really embarrassing for their ancestors. + +Because they had similar experiences, the old man became more fond of He Xuewen. At this time, Tian Xinhua and He Chengsi were already fighting each other. He Shouhua and Shou Jianguo were shouting for Tian Xinhua. Tian Sisi was running in both directions. One moment she ran to He Chengsi and shouted "Brother He, come on!", and the next moment she ran to Tian Xinhua and shouted "Brother Xinhua, come on!". + +"Who are you helping?" Tian Shouhua couldn't stand it anymore. + +"I want to help both sides. It's best if Brother He and Brother Xinhua draw." Tian Sisi is also very conflicted. She doesn't want He Chengsi to lose, and she doesn't want Brother Xinhua to lose. Of course, it's best to tie. + +"Tian Sisi, you are the reed swaying in the wind." Tian Shouhua raised his voice in anger. + +"Brother Shouhua, how can you say that? You should say that I am a good comrade who loves peace." Tian Sisi corrected seriously, but after a while she became amused by herself. + +"Oops, Brother Shouhua, I'm so tired talking to you. You talk all day long, just like a sour scholar. Brother Shouhua, you should change your words and speak more plainly. Aren't we all ordinary people!" Tian Sisi stood on tiptoes and wanted to pat Tian Shouhua's shoulder, but the altitude was not high enough, so she had to pat his chest. + +"Tian Sisi, you are a commoner yourself, don't think that everyone is the same as you." + +"Are you good? You don't eat, drink, or poop or pee?" + +"You... are you still not a girl?" Tian Shouhua's face turned red with anger. + +"Of course I am a girl. Grandpa said I am the most beautiful girl in the world." Tian Sisi finished speaking arrogantly, and was too lazy to talk to Tian Shouhua anymore, "I won't tell you anymore. Talking to you takes a lot of brains. I want to see Brother Xinhua and Brother He fight." + +Tian Shouhua felt angry for a while, who would bother to think about it? He really wanted to bring Tian Sisi back and give her a good education so that she would know what a girl should say. + +Everyone in the room laughed out loud at Tian Sisi's words, and A'nan was the only one who was sharp-tongued and could make Shou Hua speechless. He Xuewen looked at Tian Sisi with more kind eyes. His baby lived a happy life and was a happy little princess. + +"Master, your granddaughter is so cute, she is just like a pistachio." + +"That's right, old man, what I am most proud of is this granddaughter. She is beautiful, sensible and filial. She is the treasure God has given to our family." Others praised Tian Sisi, and the old man was particularly happy. + +At this time, Tian Xinhua and He Chengsi were already at odds with each other. Their strength was evenly matched, and they were almost pushed to the table by each other several times. However, they both came back to life. The wonderful game made everyone watch it with concentration without blinking. + +Tian Xinhua stared at He Chengsi opposite, thinking that it wouldn't be a problem if this went on, and he had to fight quickly. With a thought in his mind, he suddenly showed a very surprised expression to the opposite side. He Chengsi was indeed fooled, and looked back. Tian Xinhua pushed him down on the table with one force. Tian Shouhua immediately announced loudly, "Tian Xinhua wins!" + +"You're cheating!" When He Chengsi turned around and saw nothing strange, he knew he had been deceived and jumped up in anger. + +"That's because you are stupid. Haven't you heard the saying that a soldier never tires of deceit?" Tian Xinhua put on his cotton-padded jacket calmly. + +Although He Chengsi was not convinced, he was still a tough guy.

Tian Xinhua said deliberately: "Ana, I want to eat braised pork. Either fat or thin, you pick a piece for me." + +"Oh, Brother Xinhua, let's eat it for you." Tian Sisi obediently picked up a piece of fat and thin braised pork and put it in Tian Xinhua's bowl. + +He Chengsi and Tian Sisi were not that familiar, but he was not stupid either.

He Chengsi ate the fragrant meat in one bite and gave Tian Xinhua a proud look. + +The two of them went back and forth like this without any bloodshed, which only made Tian Sisi miserable. They were picking up pieces of fish for Tian Xinhua and pieces of eggs for He Chengsi. They were so busy that unknowingly, both He Chengsi and Tian Xinhua ate too much.

Because He Chengsi had eaten a little too much, he ran to the yard to do some boxing before he came back to sleep. He saw He Xuewen standing under the window, looking up at the moon in the sky, with a confused look on his face. + +"Dad, why don't you rest?" + +He Xuewen came to his senses, lowered his head and said to He Chengsi, "Dad, you're not sleepy, you can go to sleep first." + +"Dad, you need to go to bed early.

Fortunately, Chengsi had taken care of him in the past few years. Otherwise, he didn't know whether he would have survived all these years. He Xuewen simply pulled his son to sit on the chair and said excitedly: "Chengsi, dad has found your sister." + +"My wife has been found? Where is she?" He Chengsi was also extremely happy. + +"When you call me sister, don't always call me daughter-in-law. Your sister is the Tian Sisi who fell into the pit. She really looks like her mother."

He Xuewen couldn't laugh or cry. + +"Of course I did, but I only took her a few times less." He Chengsi asked again: "Then dad, why didn't you recognize your sister just now?" He Chengsi felt very strange. Dad missed his sister day and night, so why didn't he recognize his sister now that he had found her? + +"I haven't decided whether to admit her yet. We don't even have a fixed residence now, and the enemies are still looking for me everywhere. Your sister lives a carefree life here, and the Tian family also loves her very much. If we go to admit her, the Tian family may not be willing to let her go. Besides, even if we admit her back, my father will not trust your sister to be with us. It is too dangerous." He Xuewen was very conflicted. + +He originally planned not to recognize Tian Sisi, but to look at his daughter from a distance and know that she lived a happy life. When the danger was over and he regained his true identity, he would recognize his daughter again, but the wine Tian Sisi brought out in the evening made him hesitate again. + +This wine is not an ordinary wine, it is very similar to the He family's ancestral "Fei-nourishing wine". The He family's treasure house contains a batch of ancient wines passed down from ancestors, including "Fei-nourishing wine", "Beauty wine", "Yilongshou wine", "Liver-nourishing wine", "Kidney-tonifying wine", etc., as well as a batch of ancient wine-making recipes. However, many of the materials recorded above cannot be found, so the descendants of the He family can only look at these ancient recipes with wonder. + +This batch of ancient wine and ancient recipes are said to have been passed down by an ancestor of the He family. When this ancestor was alive, the reputation of Hejia wine reached its peak. Everyone in the world knew about Hejia wine. However, since the ancestor passed away, Hejia wine has gradually gone downhill. Just because of Hejia wine. No one in the family can brew the same quality wine as their ancestors anymore. Even the most talented descendants of the He family can't brew the same taste as before. Therefore, the He family wine is no longer as popular as it used to be. But even so, the He family is still the leading wine-making family in the country. + +The reason why the He family ranks first is of course that the He family is really good at brewing wine, but the more important reason is the ancient wine and ancient recipes in the He family's treasure house. Each of the heirs of the He family will be brought into the treasure house by the head of the He family when they reach adulthood. They taste every ancient wine and read every ancient recipe. He Xuewen still remembers the taste of that small drop of ancient wine. The taste is so special that he can recognize it as soon as he drinks it today. + +The reason why this batch of ancient wine is precious is that it is the only remaining wine in the world. No one can brew it again, except for the ancestor who has passed away long ago. But today he actually drank such a precious lung-nourishing wine in the Tian family. At that time, he relied on great willpower to hold back from showing any abnormality. In fact, his heart was already in a turmoil. + +Because He Xuewen thought of a legend of the He family. It is said that the He family has a treasure, the silver bracelet, which was passed down by the ancestor of the He family. The ancestor left a last word before his death, saying that the bracelet contained a huge treasure. Only direct blood relatives with deep blessings could find this treasure. As long as this treasure is found, the He family will continue to be prosperous for hundreds of years. + +It's just that this bracelet has been passed down for more than two hundred years. From generation to generation, no one in the He family has been able to find the treasure. Gradually, the descendants of the He family no longer search for this treasure as persistently as their ancestors. In their opinion, maybe the treasure was said to be the ancestor who deceived the descendants. Otherwise, why would there be no news after hundreds of years? + +But now He Xuewen believes that her daughter is the He family with deep blessings. She must have found the treasure. According to the ancestors, the treasure is a blessed place that can brew all kinds of good wine. It seems that her daughter was able to brew lung-nourishing wine because she found the treasure. + +He Xuewen was happy and worried at the same time. He was happy that his daughter had a deep blessing, but he was worried that his daughter was still too naive and didn't understand the sinister nature of people's hearts. How could she bring out such a conspicuous wine? Although the Tian family is very good to their daughter now, who can guarantee that in the face of huge interests, the Tian family will continue to be good to their daughter? + +What if they got greedy and killed people to seize the treasure? The more He Xuewen thought about it, the more worried he became. His grandparents and father died in the hands of the Japanese precisely because the Japanese coveted the He family's batch of ancient wine and prescriptions. And he, his wife and daughter were separated from each other. It was precisely because someone coveted the He family's treasure house, and thinking that his daughter might be hurt or even lose her life because of the treasure, He Xuewen couldn't sit still and wanted to run to Tian Sisi immediately and tell her not to use this kind of treasure again. + +"Dad, what's wrong with you?" He Chengsi couldn't help asking when he saw that He Xuewen had been stunned for a long time and didn't speak, and the expression on his face was getting more and more excited. + +After shouting for a long time, He Xuewen came back to his senses. He made up his mind immediately, took out a pen and paper and wrote a few words very quickly, and said to He Chengsi: "Chengsi, go to your sister's room now, show this note to your sister quietly, and then bring your sister here so that no one finds it. Dad has something to say to your sister." + +He Chengsi responded and went out to call for someone. Only the three brothers Tian Sisi and Shou Jianguo lived on the second floor. The three brothers Shou Jianguo had gone to bed long ago. Therefore, when He Chengsi came to Tian Sisi's room, no one saw him. Tian Sisi had just brewed a batch of lung-nourishing wine from the space. She was about to open the quilt and sleep when she heard a knock on the door. Although she felt strange, she went to open the door. + +"Brother He, are you okay?" Seeing that it was He Chengsi, Tian Sisi was very puzzled. + +"Sisi, my father gave you a note. He asked you to come over after reading it. He has something to say to you." + +Tian Sisi took the note and saw the three very elegant words "Fei Yang Wine" written on it. How did He Xuewen know that the wine he drank today was called Fei Yang Wine? Tian Sisi was shocked. After thinking about it, she put on her cotton-padded jacket and followed He Chengsi to their room. If it had been anyone else, Tian Sisi would not have been so bold as to go to a stranger's room. But for He Xuewen, Tian Sisi subconsciously felt that He Xuewen would not hurt her. + +When He Xuewen saw Tian Sisi smiling, he turned to He Chengsi and said, "Chengsi, go to the door to let me know, and my father will say a few words to your sister Sisi." + +He Chengsi walked to the door obediently. Tian Sisi tilted her head and asked, "Uncle He, what do you want from me?" + +"Sisi, did you read that note?" + +"Look, how did Uncle He know that what I gave you to drink today was lung-nourishing wine?" + +"Of course Uncle He knows, because Fei Yang Wine is the ancestral wine of our He family. Only the He family can brew it." He Xuewen looked at Tian Sisi lovingly. He really wanted to reach out and touch his daughter's face. + +Tian Sisi's heart was in turmoil, what did Uncle He mean? Why can only the He family brew lung-nourishing wine? Then why can she brew it? Could it be that she... + +Tian Sisi couldn't believe the conclusion she came to. She looked at He Xuewen in shock, "Uncle He, do you want to say that I am a member of the He family?" + +He Xuewen was shocked by his daughter's acuity. He did not expect that his daughter could think of the general outline of the matter with just one sentence. He smiled happily and said, "Sisi, you are right. You are from the He family, and I am your biological father. The bracelet on your wrist can only be worn by the He family." + +ps: Thank you for your support from dear friends such as I Love Myself xx, Fat Girl 0915, anna0626, Don’t You Know, Falling in Love with the Floor for a Good Autumn, 123 Listen, Be as First Seeingz! \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/09/eng_cont/i_0063.txt b/09/eng_cont/i_0063.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..942e000782f133b6d17f90413ad1ec8ec62db172 --- /dev/null +++ b/09/eng_cont/i_0063.txt @@ -0,0 +1,59 @@ +Chapter 63 biological father. + +Biological father? No wonder she feels so kind to He Xuewen and feels sad when she sees him coughing. It turns out that this is the nature of father and daughter! + +But He Xuewen, the biological father of Tian Zhaodi in the previous life, was not found? Why did He Xuewen come here in this life? Will the same thing happen in this life as in the previous life? Tian Sisi doesn't understand that the world she is experiencing now is still the world she lived in in her previous life? + +Although Tian Sisi knew that He Xuewen was her biological father, the original owner didn't know that. At this time in the previous life, the original owner still thought that she was Tian Manyin's biological daughter, and the original owner was only a 10-year-old girl now. She couldn't believe a stranger saying that she was his daughter so easily. How should a ten-year-old child react at this time? Tian Sisi didn't know how to behave so as not to arouse suspicion. + +Fortunately, He Xuewen also knew that it would be difficult for Tian Sisi to believe what he said. He thought for a moment and said, "Ana, you were born on the fifth day of December in 1963. When you were born, you weighed seven pounds and were white and fat, like a jade ball. Your mother and I were very happy, so we called you Tuantuan. We wanted to have a happy family, but..." + +He Xuewen's voice choked up, and then he said: "But there are unforeseen circumstances. When you were less than four months old, something happened to our family. I was separated from your mother and daughter. I tried every means to escape and wanted to go back to find you and my daughter, but I found out about your mother-in-law. Life or death is unknown, and you were entrusted to a family in Suicheng. I have inquired about many families in Suicheng over the years, but there is no information at all. I thought that our father and daughter would never meet again in this life, but God has lived up to me, He Xuewen, and finally allowed me to find you." + +He Xuewen was already crying and coughing. He Chengsi hurriedly came over and patted his back gently. Tian Sisi was at a loss. Should she step forward to express her excitement about reunited with her biological father after a long separation, or should she refuse to admit it? + +"Sister Sisi, my father really misses you. He will look at your full-moon photo for a long time every night before going to bed. We have traveled to almost every place in Sui City over the years. If it hadn't been for the traveling in the past few years, my father's health would not have become so bad. Sister Sisi, he is really your biological father." + +When He Xuewen heard his adopted son mentioning photos, he quickly took out a pocket watch from his arms, opened the cover of the watch, and showed the chubby baby photo inside to Tian Sisi, "Ana, look, this is what you took a month ago. There were a few family photos of our family of three. They are all placed in our old house of the He family. I don't know if they are still there now?" + +Tian Sisi reached out and took the pocket watch. The little baby inside was as cute as a jade dumpling. Each limb was like a lotus root and was fleshy. Looking closely, this body was indeed very similar to the baby in the photo, especially the curly hair on the forehead and the big black and white eyes. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that these two people were the same person. + +He Xuewen added, "Ah-nan, there is a light brown birthmark on the inside of your left wrist. The pattern is very similar to the pattern on the bracelet you are wearing. At that time, your mother-in-law smiled and said that this bracelet was the one you should wear, Ah-nan. That's why I put our He family's ancestral bracelet on you on the first day you were born." + +Tian Sisi's heart trembled. Is her rebirth inevitable or accidental? Since the birthmark on his wrist was there from birth, why didn’t the original owner discover the space in his previous life? And there is no connection between her and the original owner? Why did the space appear only after she came, and she also brought the shopping mall from her previous life? + +Tian Si's head was spinning with thought. She could no longer tell whether she had the space because of her arrival, or whether she came here because of the space. If you can't think clearly, then forget about it. Tian Sisi simply patted her head and didn't think about these messy things. Anyway, now that she has come to this world, she is Tian Sisi. + +"But my grandparents all said that I am from the Tian family, and I was not brought in from outside." Tian Si thought for a moment, and could only imagine how a ten-year-old child would react when hearing such words, and said pretending not to believe it. + +"That's because they love you and don't want you to get hurt. I don't want to recognize you back today, I just want to tell you something." He Xuewen motioned to He Chengsi to go outside and guard the door. + +When He Chengsi walked outside, He Xuewen whispered to Tian Sisi: "Ana, you are too careless. How could you just take out the things in the blessed land and give them to the Tian family to drink? What if the Tian family becomes greedy? A-nan, you are young and don't know the dangers of the human heart?" + +Tian Sisi never expected that He Xuewen knew the secret of the bracelet. She wanted to hide her inner shock, but her eyes had already betrayed her. He Xuewen smiled and told the legend of the He family. Finally, he sighed: "Your grandfather and great-grandfather and I have lost confidence in finding this blessed place. I didn't expect that it was my daughter who got this blessed place. A-nan, you are so blessed!" + +He Xuewen had reached this point, and she could deeply feel the heartache and love of the man opposite her. She couldn't be deceived by that kind of love. Tian Sisi didn't want to let this man who loved her suffer psychological torture anymore. She tilted her head and asked, "Are you really my biological father? But my father is very good to me, and I don't want him to be sad." + +"Don't worry, Grandma. Dad just wants to tell you to be careful in the future and don't reveal the secret of the bracelet. Dad won't tell the Tian family. Grandpa will still live the same life as before." + +He Xuewen's expression suddenly changed and he asked, "Does the Tian family know about this blessed land? Has Grandma told them?" + +Tian Sisi felt guilty, and murmured: "I only told my grandpa and mother-in-law." Seeing He Xuewen's face turned pale, she quickly added: "I didn't say it was a blessed place, so I made up a story." + +She said what she had said to the old man and Mrs. Zhao before, as well as the fact that the old man took everything on her, "My grandpa and my mother-in-law love me very much. They also told me not to tell my parents and not to anyone." + +He Xuewen felt relieved. A'nan was a smart child, and the old man and the old lady of the Tian family really loved their daughter. A'nan was really a very lucky child to be adopted by such a family., he thought for a while and then warned: "Then, grandma, just listen to your grandpa and your mother-in-law. Don't tell anyone. Only grandpa and grandpa and your mother-in-law know about this in the world. The fewer people know about it, the safer you will be, grandma." + +"Well, I know. Grandpa said before that people's hearts are unpredictable." + +He Xuewen smiled happily. He reached out his hand to the top of Tian Sisi's head. He paused for a moment, then touched it, stroking it gently, as if touching a rare treasure. + +"Then should I tell my grandpa and my wife about you?" Tian Si thought for a while and asked. + +"The time has not come yet. Our enemies of the He family are still in power. My dad doesn't dare to recognize you. It's better for me not to talk to the Tian family anymore. My mom just needs to be a happy little princess. My dad will eliminate the outside risks for my mom." He Xuewen smiled lovingly. God knows how much he wanted to recognize his daughter openly, but he couldn't do it now. He couldn't let the baby be harmed in the slightest. + +"Are those enemies powerful? Then... are you in danger?" Although Tian Sisi recognized this father in her heart, she could not say the word "father" in her mouth. She could only call him you. + +"No, my father has been dealing with them for so many years. There is nothing they can do to him." He Xuewen felt extremely satisfied when he heard his daughter's caring words. He felt more comfortable than drinking lung-nourishing wine. + +ps: Thank you for pretending to be so good 5, I love myself xx, book friend 150707080753665, book friend 120502073451340, I don’t know how to wait for the readers’ support! \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/09/eng_cont/i_0064.txt b/09/eng_cont/i_0064.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..e5833356888ebdb262f9fb7c31c8f7ea35326a2f --- /dev/null +++ b/09/eng_cont/i_0064.txt @@ -0,0 +1,93 @@ +Chapter 64 Recognition. + +"Cough", He Xuewen covered his mouth and coughed a few times, "Were the injuries you suffered also caused by those bad people?"

How could my father do such a thing and betray his ancestors? Besides, even if I handed over the treasure house, they would not let the He family go, so they beat my father up in a fit of anger." He Xuewen said it lightly, but Tian Sisi knew that the situation at that time was absolutely tragic. + +"I still have some lung-nourishing wine, please wait for me for a while." Tian Sisi looked at the room and saw that He Chengsi was outside the door and could not see the situation inside, so she flashed into the space. Anyway, He Xuewen already knew about the space, so there was no need to hide it. Besides, with Tian Sisi's sensitivity to people, she knew that He Xuewen was the person least likely to hurt herself in the world. + +Although He Xuewen already knew about the blessed land, he was still shocked when his daughter disappeared while playing in front of him. He looked around hurriedly and closed the doors and windows. Tian Sisi came out after a while, which seemed to outsiders only a few seconds. She took several bottles of wine and handed them to He Xuewen. + +"You drink this lung-nourishing wine first, and I'll get it for you when it's finished. Don't throw away the wine bottles. I don't have many empty wine bottles here." + +He Xuewen immediately opened a bottle of wine and took a sip. His itchy trachea immediately felt much better. He was extremely happy. With these lung-nourishing wine, he no longer had to worry about his broken body not being able to survive. Now that he had found his daughter, he had never been so determined to live and protect his beloved while alive. + +"I will also brew many other types of health wine. When your lungs are cured, I will brew other tonic wines for you to ensure that your body will get better soon." Tian Sisi said in a low voice. Even as an outsider, she could tell that He Xuewen's health was extremely poor, which might be detrimental to his lifespan. + +"Okay, grandma, just take your time. Don't be tired. Dad is not in a hurry." He Xuewen smiled with his eyebrows creasing. + +"Are you still leaving?" Tian Sisi didn't know it herself, but there was a hint of attachment in her voice. Of course He Xuewen could hear it, and his eyes became even crooked. In fact, Tian Sisi's eyes were very much like He Xuewen's. They were both smiling eyes. When she smiled, they curved into a crescent shape, which was very beautiful. + +"I won't leave for now. My dad will be here to protect my grandmother as she grows up. Tomorrow my dad will find a way to find a place to live in this village, so my grandmother doesn't have to worry." + +"Well, is that He Chengsi my brother?" Tian Sisi thought He Chengsi was her biological brother. + +"Yes, but Chengsi is the adopted son I adopted after I escaped. Thanks to him, my father has been able to survive these years, and my grandmother can treat him like a real brother." He Xuewen did not dare to tell the truth that He Chengsi had long thought that his grandmother was his wife, but he forgot that his pig teammates were the most cheating. + +"Okay, then I'll call him in. You can rest early." Tian Sisi walked to the door and called He Chengsi in. + +As soon as He Chengsi saw He Xuewen's beaming face, he knew that his father must have successfully recognized the girl. He immediately said with a smile: "Sister Sisi, I am your brother. If anyone dares to bully you like today, I will beat her up." + +"Okay, then I'll ask Brother He to take care of me from now on." + +The little girl's voice was very delicate, and she was pretty. When He Chengsi saw Tian Sisi's pretty appearance, his heart moved and he said, "Sister Sisi, you are my wife. It is only natural for a man to protect his wife." + +"..." What does it mean? Do you have any other dolls to kiss? Tian Sisi was confused in the wind, and she looked at He Xuewen doubtfully. + +He Xuewen smiled awkwardly, glared at He Chengsi who was still giggling, and said angrily: "Ah, don't listen to your brother He's nonsense, there is no such thing." + +"Dad, why did you lie to sister Sisi? Didn't you tell my master before that you would give sister Sisi to me as my wife? A manly man, spit and nail, dad, you can't eat salt to make fat." He Chengsi quit, seeing that a beautiful wife was gone, and he couldn't do anything to anyone else! + +"You gained weight by breaking your promise." Tian Sisi couldn't help but correct her. + +"What does it matter? Anyway, sister Sisi, you are my wife. When I turn eighteen, we can get married." He Chengsi inquired very clearly that as long as he turns eighteen, he can marry his wife. + +Getting married? Tian Sisi was deceived, "I am not your wife. If you dare to call me wife again, I will let my brother Xinhua beat you up!" + +"Why doesn't sister Sisi want to be my wife? I am strong, good at work, and quick at work, and I will definitely be very good to my wife in the future. My master said that a man who doesn't care for his wife is not a good man. I must be a very good man." + +He Chengsi felt a little aggrieved. He was such a good man, so why didn't Sister Sisi want to be his wife? He Xuewen covered his face with his hands. How could he be such a stupid boy? + +Thinking of that pretty boy, He Chengsi became unhappy and said with a flat mouth, "That pretty boy of yours, Brother Xinhua, is not enough for one of my fingers." + +"You lost to my brother Xinhua in arm wrestling today." Tian Sisi exposed his shortcomings mercilessly. + +"That was him cheating. He is such a despicable and shameless person." He Chengsi frowned and growled. Today's defeat is the biggest shame in his life (little comrade, you are only 11 years old, you are still far away from your lifetime). + +"You are not allowed to talk about my brother Xinhua, he is smart and witty." + +"It's just despicable." + +"It's smart." + +"Despicable." + +... + +He Xuewen smiled and watched as the two little ones turned from their wife to Tian Xinhua's character issues. His daughter was so cute no matter how cute he looked. His heart had never been as peaceful as it is today. Only a place with A-nan can call it home! + +"I won't tell you anymore. Anyway, my Xinhua brother is better than you, huh!" Tian Sisi, whose mouth was dry from the argument, said this angrily and stomped away. + +He Chengsi looked at Tian Sisi's little back and was dumbfounded. After a while, he said aggrievedly: "Dad, sister Sisi doesn't like me." + +"It's okay, didn't your sister Sisi give you a lot of meat today? As long as you don't call her daughter-in-law in the future, sister Sisi will definitely get along with you." He Xuewen comforted her softly. + +"But sister Sisi is obviously my wife." + +"Chengsi, my father was joking with your master at that time. Sister Sisi is not your wife, you are her brother. You have to protect her in the future." He Xuewen explained patiently that He Chengsi had recognized A'nan as his wife since he was a child, which had left a mark on his heart. It was really difficult to let her go. + +"Then I won't call her daughter-in-law in the future." He cheered in his heart. Anyway, sister Sisi was his daughter-in-law. He Cheng thought it was quite beautiful. This child just firmly believed that Tian Sisi was his daughter-in-law. + +He Xuewen smiled with satisfaction, and the two father and son blew out the oil lamp, took off their clothes and went to bed. + +After returning to her room, Tian Sisi entered the space again. Regarding her behavior just now, Tian Sisi couldn't help laughing. He Chengsi was just an 11-year-old child. He didn't know what his wife meant. How could he be more serious than a child like him? It’s true that the more we live, the smaller we get (Tian Sisi doesn’t just get smaller as time goes by). + +The lung-nourishing wine she had brewed before had just been poured to He Xuewen. She had to brew more, and the old man also wanted to drink it. Tian Sisi brewed thirty kilograms of lung-nourishing wine this time, put it in a vat, and sealed it with a lid. + +After finishing her work, Tian Sisi wiped her body and got out of the room. She lay on the bed and couldn't fall asleep no matter what. What happened today was so dramatic. She never thought that this body's biological father was still alive in the world and loved her so much. The love in He Xuewen's eyes was not fake. + +The most important thing is that someone finally shared the secret of space with her. During this period of time, she kept this secret alone. Even the old man and Mrs. Zhao only told half-truths and half-truths. No matter what they did, they had to be secretive. It was really unbearable. Tian Sisi sometimes worried that she would tell this secret in her dreams. + +Now it's okay, He Xuewen also knows the secret, and she doesn't have to worry about her father harming her. It's great. God probably saw that she had never been loved by her father in her previous life, so in this life, she gave her two fathers who love her as much as their eyes.

Tian Sisi slept until three o'clock in the morning before getting up slowly. By the time she got dressed and went downstairs, the Tian family had already gone to work. Only the old and young were left at home. Mrs. Zhao was washing Qingming grass by the well in the front yard. When she saw Tian Sisi with disheveled hair, she quickly stood up and wiped her hands on her apron, then picked up a wooden comb to comb her granddaughter's hair. + +"Mother, are you going to pack Qingming fruit for your stay?" + +"Well, I will pack more for you later. Grandma gave it to my friends yesterday. They all helped yesterday. We have to thank them." + +"That lady will give you both salty and sweet fruits. I promised them yesterday that I would give them both sweet and salty fruits." + +"Okay, it's all covered, and it's covered for our grandma, too." Mrs. Zhao tied up her granddaughter's hair in a few seconds. Today she tied two round Tweets for Tian Sisi and tied them with pink silk flowers, which made the little girl look very good. Cute and smart, Mrs. Zhao gave Tian Sisi a beautiful kiss on her bun face. Every time after combing her granddaughter's hair, Mrs. Zhao looked at her granddaughter's cute little face and thought about how many kisses she wanted, but she couldn't get enough. + +Tian Sisi went to the kitchen and brought Mrs. Zhao's hot egg fried rice, which was a bit too much. The old lady always made a big bowl of it every time she made breakfast for her granddaughter, thinking that one day her granddaughter might suddenly develop an appetite and turn a kitten's stomach into an elephant's. + +Tian Sisi sandwiched the golden eggs in the bowl and force-fed them to Mrs. Zhao for a few mouthfuls. The old lady's eyes were so beautiful that her eyes narrowed to slits. At this time, Jianguo came back with a basket of Qingming grass. In the morning, he heard his grandma say that he wanted to make a lot of Qingming fruits. Jianguo was very discerning after breakfast and took Weiguo to the mountains to pick Qingming grass. In a short time, he came back with a basket of Qingming grass. + +"Jianguo is so good. I know grandma still needs Qingming grass." Mrs. Zhao was very pleased. The direction of her grandson's eyes (that is to say, a person with a very discerning eye) was really good. + +Tian Sisi hurriedly took a bowl out of the kitchen and gave Jianguo half of the egg fried rice, asking him to eat it quickly. Jianguo wanted to shirk it, but he couldn't resist Tian Sisi's soft words, and Mrs. Zhao also asked him to eat, so he picked up the rice bowl and ate the egg fried rice. Since coming to Tian's house, he and his brothers had eaten egg fried rice several times, but no matter how many times he ate, he could never get tired of eating such delicious egg fried rice. + +The nine-year-old boy's stomach was like a bottomless pit. Tian Sisi brought Jianguo a tall bowl from the countryside. In later generations, even an adult man could only eat one bowl of rice. But now, after Jianguo had breakfast, the bottom of the big bowl of egg fried rice quickly reached the bottom. Tian Sisi was still sipping the rice in small sips, and there was still more than half of the rice in the bowl. + +"Sister Sisi, you eat so slowly. I've eaten so much." Jianguo laughed at Tian Sisi. + +"If you eat quickly, then eat more." Tian Sisi took out half of the rice and gave it to Jianguo. She quickly took the remaining bites of rice into her mouth and ran into the kitchen and put the bowl into the sink, leaving Jianguo dumbfounded holding the rice bowl. + +"Jianguo can eat as much as he can. It's harder for Sisi to eat than to take medicine." Mrs. Zhao said to her grandson with a smile. + +Jianguo touched his belly. He seemed to be able to eat. After this period of time together, Jianguo became more relaxed, gradually showing the innocence and mischief of a child. He smiled sheepishly, lowered his head and finished the rice in the bowl in several mouthfuls. + +"Jianguo is so good, much better than your sister Sisi. Children have to eat more to grow faster. Look, you are half a head taller than your sister Sisi. Your sister Sisi will definitely be a dwarf in the future." Mrs. Zhao deliberately looked sideways at Tian Sisi who came out of the kitchen and said. + +"Mother, I'm not a dwarf. I will definitely be a little beauty in the future." Tian Sisi pouted and hugged Mrs. Zhao's neck in a coquettish manner. + +"That's right, our grandma is a little beauty now." The old man came out from the backyard to stretch his muscles after hoeing the soil, and agreed with his granddaughter's words with a smile. + +"Yes, yes, A'nan is a little beauty. If you let me go, I'll be stunned by you." + +"Hehe!" Tian Sisi smiled and let go, helping her to wash the Qingming grass. Because the Qingming grass grows close to the ground, it cannot be seen on the surface, but when it is soaked in water, a lot of dirt will emerge, and it will take many times to wash it clean. + +"Oh, little ancestor, the water is cold. Be careful of cold hands. Grandma and Jianguo go outside to play. Your Majesty will be done washing it in a moment." Mrs. Zhao didn't want her granddaughter to touch the cold water and hurriedly waved Tian Sisi to go out to play. + +"The water is warm, not cold at all." The well water in winter is indeed not cold, and is still a little warm. Seeing that Tian Sisi insisted on washing, Mrs. Zhao let her go. Now that it is spring, she has to lose one piece of clothing, and the temperature is indeed not as low as before. + +"Grandpa, where did Uncle He and Brother He go?" Tian Sisi didn't see He Xuewen and He Chengsi when she woke up early in the morning, and she had long wanted to ask. + +"They went to the town to buy things. They went with your Uncle Fugao's tractor. They will come back in the evening." The old man replied while smoking a hookah. + +"Oh." When Tian Sisi heard that she was coming back, she felt relieved, as long as she didn't leave. Although she and He Xuewen only met for the first time, they were probably related by blood. She was close to He Xuewen, her biological father, from the bottom of her heart. Of course, she was also close to Tian Manyin, her father. She had two fathers who loved her. How could there be such a beautiful thing in the world! + +Seeing that Jianguo couldn't intervene, he ran outside and followed Donghua and the others to the mountains to collect firewood. The Tian family often burned three meals a day, and the firewood was very expensive. Jianguo and Donghua would go to the mountains to collect firewood whenever they had free time. + +After Mrs. Zhao washed the Qingming grass, she put it into a large dustpan. She ran to the stove and scooped out the remaining sparks in the stove. She added a handful of pine needles and pulled the bellows. The fire soon started. She added a few more firewood and the stove immediately became red and bright. + +A large pot of water has been added to the big pot. This is to boil the water and boil the Qingming grass. The Qingming grass needs to be boiled with alkali to remove the oxalic acid in the grass, leaving only the unique fragrance of Qingming grass. However, the ratio of adding alkali needs to be controlled very well, otherwise the Qingming fruit will not taste good. + +As soon as the water boiled, Mrs. Zhao poured the washed Qingming grass into the big pot, added a piece of alkali, and kept stirring in the pot with long wooden chopsticks to fully integrate the alkaline water with the Qingming grass. Mrs. Zhao kept moving her hands, turned to Tian Sisi and said: "Ana, go and call your Shouhua brother and Xinhua brother to knead the dough. They are very strong and can knead it evenly. I also asked your second wife to come and pack the fruit together." + +Tian Sisi responded and went to Tian Liujin's house to call for help. Tian Xinhua and Tian Shouhua were hoeing the soil in their private plot. Li Yuedi was also washing Qingming grass. When Tian Sisi saw it, she said, "Second lady, please stop washing and go to my house to make fruit. The queen has prepared a lot of ingredients. Brother Xinhua and Brother Shouhua, hurry up and wash and knead the dough." + +Li Yuedi was also very straightforward. She gathered together the meat, tofu, rice and other ingredients she had prepared, and simply took them to her sister-in-law's house to pack fruits. Tian Xinhua and Tian Shouhua also changed into clean clothes and brought hot water to wash their faces and hands. + +"Oh, brother Shouhua, why don't you apply soap? Brother Xinhua, you need to apply soap three times so that you can wash your hands clean."

"Okay, I've become a beautiful little grandma again." + +Tian Xinhua picked up a ball of the boiled Qingming grass and threw it into the rice flour in the basin. The rice flour was 50% glutinous rice flour and 50% late rice flour. The Qingming fruit tasted very chewy. He roughly mixed the boiled Qingming grass and rice flour evenly, then added boiling water, stir and knead. The rice noodles must be heated with boiling water so that the kneaded rice noodles will be strong. Tian Xinhua added water while mixing. Finally, when he saw that it was almost done, he started kneading it with both hands. Tian Shouhua also used the same method. Each of them had a basin and kneaded the dough with both hands. + +Mrs. Zhao has spent a lot of money this time. She plans to give some not only to the girls yesterday, but also to the relatives and friends of the Tian family, and also to eat at her own home. After all, it is not enough if she doesn't pack hundreds of fruits, so ZhaoThe old lady took out about thirty kilograms of rice noodles, ten kilograms of old tofu, which had been prepared a long time ago. She asked the old man to go up the mountain to dig out ten kilograms of winter bamboo shoots, and asked Tian Sisi to take out twenty kilograms of pork belly. Li Yuedi was shocked when she saw the ingredients prepared by Mrs. Zhao. + +"Sister-in-law, how many fruits are you planning to pack?" + +"Since you want to pack more, pack more and give some to relatives and friends at home, as well as to the homes of the little girls who helped find A-nan yesterday, and to the girls in our family. I have calculated that these materials may not be enough." Mrs. Zhao peeled the winter bamboo shoots and put them in boiling water for boiling. She said with a smile. Since A-nan had the help of Mr. Bai Yuan, she has gained a lot of confidence. + +Li Yuedi hurriedly took out the materials she brought and said with a smile: "I still have some here. This year I will be lazy and not pack the fruits. After you wrap them up, sister-in-law, just give us some to eat." + +Because of the subsidy from selling wine, Li Yuedi felt a lot more confident, and she prepared enough materials. The meat alone weighed four or five kilograms. It was the first time for Li Yuedi to prepare so much meat at one time. Mrs. Zhao took the materials, put them aside, and rolled her eyes. + +"What are you talking about? Not only your family's food, but also your family's gifts are all taken from me. I include your family's income, but you have to do a day's work for me today. I can't make it alone." + +"Okay, then I won't be polite to my sister-in-law." Li Yuedi was also very cheerful. + +The two old ladies were very busy, one chopping winter bamboo shoots and the other dicing meat and bamboo shoots. Tian Xinhua and Tian Shouhua had kneaded the rice noodles in the basin into green dough. Tian Sisi had nothing to do, so she stood and watched them kneading the dough. From time to time, she stretched out her little hands to touch the soft and warm dough, leaving dimples on it. + +"Have you washed your paws?" Tian Xinhua flicked Tian Sisi's paws away. + +"I washed it. I soaped it three times. If you don't believe it, smell it. It smells so good." Tian Sisi proudly put her two paws under Tian Xinhua's nose and waved them in a showy way. + +Tian Xinhua saw those fleshy little paws, which were tender and tender. There were beautiful crescents on the pink fingernails, and there were small fleshy pits on the back of the hands, which seemed to be constantly shouting: "Come and eat me! Come and eat me!" Tian Xinhua couldn't hold it back. He bit down and swallowed Tian Sisi's fleshy paws in one bite. + +"Oh, Tian Xinhua, you are a dog!" Tian Sisi screamed and quickly pulled out her paw, which was covered with saliva. + +"Eh! Tian Xinhua, you are so disgusting." Tian Sisi wiped her hands on Tian Xinhua's clothes in disgust. After wiping her hands several times and feeling that it was still not enough, she ran to the water jar and scooped a ladle of hot water to wash her hands. + +Tian Xinhua was so happy that he hummed "I love Beijing **, the sun rises in**". Tian Shouhua looked up at his cousin and said "childish", but Tian Xinhua didn't take it seriously. He just loved teasing her and making her jump up and down! + +Tian Sisi washed her hands and came out. She snorted heavily as she walked past Tian Xinhua and ran to Tian Shouhua. She was waiting for Mrs. Zhao to fry the stuffing and wrap the fruit. Tian Qinghua took his younger brothers up the mountain to collect a lot of firewood, and then stopped when they were done. He took Jianguo and the others to the mountain to play, wondering if they could pick up more wild eggs to eat. + +Li Yuedi fried a large pot full of stuffing and put it on the table. She took out a large piece of the kneaded dough and kneaded it on the board a few times. She kneaded it with both hands until it was rolled into a long strip as thick as a child's wrist. Then she pulled off the navels one by one. The process was similar to rolling out dumpling wrappers, except that the skin of Qingming fruit was not rolled out but pinched with hands. + +First, knead the pink navel into a ball shape, and then continue to pinch it from the center to both sides. Little by little, shape the dough into a bowl shape with a thick middle and thin edges. This will form the skin of the Qingming fruit. Then add stuffing to the bowl and pinch out various patterns on the edges. A beautiful and delicate Qingming fruit will come out. + +Mrs. Zhao and Li Yuedi prepared the sweet and salty fillings. The salty filling filled two basins, and the bean paste filling filled most of the basin. It looked like a hill. The two old ladies moved very quickly. In a short time, they pinched a small soup bowl with their navel in their hands. + +Tian Sisi also took a navel and kneaded it constantly. Mrs. Zhao only thought that her granddaughter was doing it for fun and ignored her. Tian Sisi always couldn't hold the bowl well, and every time it came out, it was just a plate, so she liked to make snow dumplings. + +"Auntie, how do you add salty stuffing to the snow dumplings? Do you know how to pack fruits?" Tian Xinhua teased Tian Sisi. + +"I like to eat salty snow dumplings, don't you?" Tian Sisi rolled her eyes at him and continued to make salty snow dumplings. She thought for a moment and pressed the top of the snow dumplings she made to make a big hole. + +Tian Xinhua smiled and shook his head. Grandma was really a child at heart. He continued to pour the rice noodles and Qingming grass, add water and knead the dough. Tian Shouhua did the same. Tian Sisi's hands got sore after making a few salty snow dumplings. Packing Qingming fruit is a laborious task, and it is a test of hand strength to keep holding the bowl with both hands. Tian Sisi's two little hands soon became overwhelmed. + +"Mother, what should we have for lunch?" Tian Sisi asked. + +"Of course it's time to eat. Are you hungry? I'll pack some fruits and cook lunch later." Mrs. Zhao thought her granddaughter was hungry because she only ate so little in the morning. + +"I'm not hungry, empress. I'll cook lunch and let you have a taste of my cooking." Tian Sisi finally realized her conscience and felt that everyone was busy. It was not a problem for her to be idle like this alone, so she might as well find something to do. + +"The sun is coming out from the west. Grandma, can you cook? I'm afraid you can't even chop vegetables!" Tian Xinhua laughed exaggeratedly. + +"Of course I can burn it. If you don't believe me, I will burn it for you later. Huh, don't underestimate me. I am a real person and don't show my face." Tian Sisi said this with great confidence. In her previous life, she could not do anything, and her cooking skills were only slightly better. At least Zhong Juying has never been picky about the dishes she cooked, and of course she has never been praised. However, in Tian Sisi's mind, Zhong Juying's lack of criticism is nothing more than praise, so she is still very confident in her cooking skills. Mrs. Zhao laughed when she heard this, "My grandma is still young, so don't cook. Be careful of the oil exploding and it will hurt your hands. Wait until grandma grows up before cooking it for the queen, okay?" "My queen, just let me cook a meal. I really know how to cook it, my queen, please..." Tian Sisi used coquettish tactics, twisting her body like a twist. Tian Xinhua could see it. It was funny, so he said: "Sister-in-law, let A'nan cook it. I'll help. You and my mother-in-law can pack the fruits together without wasting time." "Sister-in-law, just let A'nan cook it. We rural girls all start cooking on the stove at the age of seven or eight. A'nan always has to learn. Even if it doesn't taste good later, we can steam the fruit."

She was going to get some green cabbage peaks (the tender stems pulled out from the heart of vegetables when the temperature rises in spring), some red-skinned radishes, and cut some leeks and lettuce. + +When Tian Xinhua saw Tian Sisi holding a gleaming kitchen knife, he was so scared that his heart almost jumped out of his chest. He quickly put down the fish and scissors in his hands, jumped to Tian Sisi's side, and took the kitchen knife away from her hand. "Tell me what vegetables you want to cook, and I'll get it. Don't complain if you cut your hand later." + +Tian Sisi was not pretentious. Since someone was willing to work, she simply became a hands-off shopkeeper, reported the vegetables she needed, and asked Tian Xinhua to pick the tender ones and cut them. If they were not cut well, it would be his responsibility to cook the dishes that would not taste good. + +Tian Xinhua was so angry that he laughed and said, "Why don't you just wait and let me burn it, so that you won't be able to burn it then and put the responsibility on me." + +"No, I can cook it myself.

Tian Sisi said with a small mouth. + +Tian Xinhua gritted his teeth at her and resigned himself to his fate by running to the vegetable field to cut vegetables. He might as well serve more snacks later. Small vegetables are wasted, and the real thing is not to make the big ones suffer from diarrhea. + +Tian Sisi used the sparks in the stove to light up the fire. Seeing that Tian Shouhua had kneaded the dough and had nothing to do, she pulled him over to light the fire. Tian Shouhua clicked his tongue twice, "Auntie, how many people are you going to ask to help you cook this meal? It's better for me to do it myself than to mobilize an army." + +"I'm still young. When I grow up, I can cook everything by myself. Huh, I'll cook it later, but don't eat your tongue." Tian Sisi was also a little embarrassed, but she just didn't have the ability to cook and cook at the same time. + +Tian Shouhua smiled and didn't say much. Anyway, he had nothing to do now, so he would light the fire for his little cousin. After a while, the fire in the stove was burning brightly, and the iron pot was smoking. Tian Sisi poured some oil into the pot and stir-fried the garlic and ginger in the oil. After a while, a fragrance overflowed. Tian Xinhua cut the vegetables and walked to Tian Sisi to take a look. + +"Not bad, it looks quite similar." + +"Hmph! Why is it so hard for me to do something as simple as cooking? I just don't want to do it. If I really do it, I will definitely be no worse than others." Tian Sisi was so proud that she put the stir-fried garlic and ginger into a bowl, then poured the pork belly into the oil. + +Although Tian Sisi was young, she still looked like she was holding a spatula, which made Mrs. Zhao and Li Yuedi put down what they were doing and came over to take a look, "A'nan, when did you learn to cook? Sister-in-law, you said that A'nan can't cook. I think A'nan is pretty good at it." + +Mrs. Zhao couldn't figure it out either. It was clear that her grandma had never even touched a spatula. Tian Sisi said arrogantly: "Second Lady, do you still need to learn how to cook? I can just watch your mother cook." + +"It costs nothing to brag!" Tian Xinhua sneered. He washed the rice and poured it into the pot in the middle. After the Ah Nan meat was fried, he could put it in and steam it. In addition, he cut a dozen sweet potatoes and put them in the rice to steam. + +"Then don't eat the food I cooked for a while. If you eat it, you will become a puppy!" Tian Sisi poured soy sauce, vinegar, shochu, and added some salt and sugar. The meat immediately turned into a beautiful sugar color, shiny, and it made you appetizing. But at this timeMeat is still a semi-finished product and needs to be steamed before it becomes crispy and delicious. In order to save time, rural people generally stir-fry the meat briefly, pop out the oil, add seasonings and then steam it in a rice pot. This saves a lot of effort, and the meat is still delicious. + +The old man heard the sound and walked in. His eyes popped out when he saw that his precious granddaughter was actually cooking. He looked at his wife and siblings in confusion. Mrs. Zhao explained with a smile: "My grandma must cook for us. I couldn't resist her, so I let her cook. I didn't expect that it was quite normal." + +"My grandma is smart and behaves as she does." The old man praised his granddaughter without hesitation. + +Tian Sisi heard it wonderfully. In her previous life, she was always said to be stupid, but in this life she could finally be a smart beauty. She turned around and smiled at the old man, saying, "Grandpa, what kind of food do you want to eat? I will cook it for you. It will definitely be just a little bit worse than the empress's." + +"Grandpa likes to eat anything cooked by Ah Nan. Ah Nan, be careful not to burn your hands with the oil." The old man laughed so hard that his beard stood up. He told Tian Sisi to be careful, and then went back to the room to listen to the radio while humming an opera with his hands behind his back, shaking his head. + +Tian Sisi is actually a lazy person. She is usually lazy and unwilling to work, but if she really wants to work, her hands and feet are quite fast, and she works pretty well. She is that kind of neat person. Think about it, with a capable mother like Zhong Juying, her daughter will not be any worse. She is just a lot worse than Zhong Juying, but compared with ordinary people, Tian Sisi can be considered capable. + +Soon, Tian Sisi had fried more than ten bowls of dishes such as fried eggs with leeks, fried peanuts, braised crucian carp, fried tofu skin with green cabbage peaks, fried shredded pork with winter bamboo shoots, fried vegetarian lettuce, fried tofu, fried snails, fried radish slices with garlic, etc. Each bowl was delicious. It's full, and Tian Sisi's cooking is very particular about color matching. Some dishes also add a few shredded carrots to match the color. Red is red, green is green, white is white, black is black, and yellow is yellow. It looks very pleasing to the eye. + +No rural woman in the 1970s knew how to pay attention to cooking and color matching. She didn't want to put in too much oil. No matter what dish she cooked, she poured it into a bowl with a ladle of water. It was good to be full. That's why everyone's eyes widened when they saw the bowls of dishes Tian Sisi cooked. Is this still a dish? It looks so beautiful! + +Mrs. Zhao and Li Yuedi had already set up two tables in the living room and were waiting for the workers to come back for dinner. In the kitchen, Tian Xinhua couldn't wait to pick up a fried snail and put it into his mouth. He chewed it a few times and swallowed it.

The same is true for Zhong Liangcai's wife Wang Yueyue, who even has to hold back her urine to go home. There is another story about this. + +Although Wang Yueyue has a pretty good appearance. As the saying goes, a daughter is a Xiaomu. Zhong Yuying later became a very successful mistress. Her appearance is definitely not bad, so Wang Yueyue can be regarded as a flower. If a girl has a thick butt but is not round, she is not a good girl. No one wants to marry her. If you marry a wife in the countryside, she will have to work half of the labor force. No matter how good-looking she is, she cannot be used as food. Besides, when the light is blown at night, women will be in the dark. Not all women are the same. If they are stronger, they will be more comfortable to hug! + +Therefore, although Wang Yueyue was more beautiful than a pretty girl, no one wanted her. Later, someone introduced Zhong Liangcai. Zhong Liangcai was also too thin to find a wife, so the two became a couple. Zhong Liangcai was actually not very willing. He wanted to find a strong woman just because he was thin, but he ended up finding a wife with a stick. + +But something happened later that made Zhong Liangcai very satisfied with Wang Yueyue. At that time, the Zhong family had not been separated, and the whole family went out to work together. Wang Yueyue was in urgent need of urination and wanted to urinate. Zhong Shancai's wife and the young daughter-in-law from the family next door to the Zhong family also wanted to urinate, so the three young daughters-in-law went to find a place together. Wang Yueyue was the most anxious, butAfter finding a hiding place, Wang Yueyue said with a red face and refused to urinate. She also said, "This much pee makes the ground fat, so I have to go home to pee." Zhong Shancai's wife and another young daughter-in-law were so amused that they didn't bother to care about her and went to their own convenience. Wang Yueyue trotted home to urinate and almost peed on his pants. + +This incident was later mentioned as a joke by the young daughter-in-law, and it spread like this. In the end, everyone in Yuequan Village knew that Zhong Liangcai's wife was very protective of money. She would hold back her urine and go home to defecate. Others said this somewhat ironically, but Zhong Liangcai was very happy. He felt that he had married the right wife. Although she was not good at work, she was good at keeping money! + +That's why after Zhong Liangcai and Wang Yueyue separated, the two of them planned carefully and worked everywhere, and soon became small landowners with more than ten acres of land. However, the land reform happened within a few days of the good times, and they were classified as middle peasants because of these more than ten acres of land. This was something they never expected at the beginning. + +Mrs. Zhao snorted. At this time, Tian Manyin and the others also left work. Seeing a large circle of villagers gathered in front of their house, they thought something had happened at home and ran back in a hurry. Tian Bajin and the others followed behind. Tian Manyin squeezed in and saw that it was Zhong Liangcai who was singing a big opera in front of his house. He felt relieved. + +"Zhong Liangcai, are you an evil person who has come to complain first? I haven't settled the score with you yet. The good daughter you raised is so vicious at a young age. What did my grandma do to offend her? She wants to kill people just for a few flowers. How can there be such a reason? Fortunately, this is my familyAh Nan is lucky and nothing will happen to her. If anything happens to my daughter, your whole family won't be able to survive. It's just the right thing for you to bring her to my door. I'm about to go find you. It's the father's fault if you don't teach your daughter well. I'll beat you to death today for not educating your daughter well." + +Tian Manyin changed from his previous honest and honest demeanor, and rushed forward ferociously, punching and kicking Zhong Liangcai. Of course, he didn't hit him hard. After all, nothing happened to Grandma, and everyone was from the village. Besides, there were so many villagers watching in front of him, so he just stopped and beat Zhong Liangcai. + +Many of the surrounding villagers were from Zhongjiawan, and some were even close to Zhong Liangcai, but they just looked on coldly, let alone starting a fight, or even saying anything to stop her. Of course, Zhong Liangcai's own unpopularity was one of the reasons. The most important thing is that your daughter almost killed Rentian Manyin's precious daughter, and you don't want Rentian Manyin to beat you a few times to vent your anger! + +Zhong Liangcai was already thin, and coupled with his misfortune, he could not withstand Tian Manyin's violent storm. He was beaten so hard that he screamed and screamed. Tian Sisi felt really angry when she saw it. She was so happy. It was great to have a father who was willing to stand up for her! + +The old man heard the noise and came out. He walked to the door with his hands behind his back and showed no anger.

Your father, Zhong Wangtian, worked with me. He was a very honest farmer. It's a pity that his life span was a little short. Your mother was not bad, she was a good woman, but she also had a bad life. She didn't see the founding of New China. What a pity!" The old man unexpectedly talked about the ancient times. Zhong Liangcai, who got up from the ground, couldn't figure out what the old man wanted to sell, so he had to keep smiling. + +"The most important thing for us farmers is to be honest in our duties, not to be too conceited, and to be a down-to-earth human being. Your brother Zhong Shancai has done a good job. As a human being, you should be a little more down-to-earth. Zhong Liangcai, you don't have to sing in front of my house. In this big drama, I have killed countless people, old man. Just a few beatings like this are nothing to me. If you, Zhong Liangcai, are really smart, you can just hit your daughter to death with one stick. I won’t even blink, old man.” + +The old man stared at Zhong Liangcai. Although his voice was not loud, it sounded like ringing a bell to Zhong Liangcai. The ringing made him sweat, as if all his little thoughts were exposed. He was originally worried that the Tian family would retaliate against his own family, so he thought of a preemptive strike and ran to the door of the Tian family to beat his daughter first. In other words, he wanted to tell the Tian family that I have taught my daughter a lesson and you should not come to my family to trouble me in the future. + +"Uncle Tian, ​​that's not what I meant. I'm just angry. Don't be angry." Zhong Liangcai whispered. + +"Since that's not what you meant, then go back and teach your daughter well. You taught a good little girl to become a poisonous snake. It's really harmful!" The old man was extremely disgusted with the two fathers and daughters and didn't want to say a good word. + +"Yes, yes, I will take this little beast back and teach him well." Zhong Liangcai couldn't even straighten his waist in front of the old man. He kept nodding and bowing. Little did he know that the more he behaved like this, the more the old man resented him. + +Some of the surrounding villagers already knew that Zhong Yuying pushed Tian Sisi into the pit yesterday for a few flowers, but some didn't know yet. Now after hearing Tian Manyin's words, and asking the villagers who knew about it, they all marveled and were frightened by Zhong Yuying's viciousness. They made up their minds to tell their children to stay away from the poisonous snake Zhong Yuying when they returned home, lest they lose their lives by accident. + +Zhong Liangcai dragged Zhong Yuying home. As soon as he turned around, his face turned dark and he twitched the corner of his mouth. He was swollen from being beaten by Tian Manyin just now. He glared fiercely at his daughter on the ground. What a stupid thing. He didn't know how to clean his butt after doing bad things? He is really a fool to leave the leverage in the hands of others. She usually seems to be a bit smart. I originally wanted to train her well so that I can earn some benefits for my son when he grows up. Now it seems that the training was in vain. After two or three years, I will marry her to others in exchange for some money so that I can marry her son. + +Zhong Yuying was so cold that she was looked at by Zhong Liangcai's snake-like eyes, and the pain in her body was not as cold as her heart.

They had to go to work in the afternoon. If they drank, they would be smelled by other villagers. Originally, the Tian family's two dry meals a day made some villagers jealous. Now they still have wine every day. Those people must be jealous, and they should avoid trouble. Therefore, they only drink some wine in the evening and not at noon. + +"Today's dishes are all cooked by Grandma, how can there be any chef?" Li Yuedi couldn't hold back and told the truth, which immediately caused a stir. + +Tian Manmu took a piece of fish and put it into his mouth. After chewing it for a few times, he praised: "Yes, grandma's cooking is really good. The fish is cooked just right, not salty, not bland, and delicious." + +Everyone else also praised the food after taking a few bites. Even Zhu Aiqing, who always criticized her, smiled and nodded. Needless to say, Tian Manyin would praise the food even if it was poison. What's more, what she cooked was delicious food, so naturally he was full of praise. He kept praising his precious daughter for being smart and capable. Tian Sisi couldn't help but show a bit of complacency on her face. + +"It's not just because of the oil. You don't know, the oil used by Grandma for one meal is more than the oil used by the Queen for three days." Tian Shouhua poked at Tian Sisi. He was frightened just now when he saw Tian Sisi pouring oil. Is this eating oil or eating vegetables? + +Tian Sisi felt guilty for a moment. She forgot that people now cook with water, so she accidentally used oil to stir-fry as in her previous life. Seeing Tian Sisi's embarrassment, Tian Xinhua hurriedly said: "It's not as exaggerated as the fourth brother said. It's just that my hands are small, so I accidentally poured too much. Qinghua, you eat less snails. I haven't eaten a few yet." + +Everyone else was attracted by Tian Xinhua's shout. When they saw that Tian Qinghua had eaten less than half of the snails on the plate, they all stretched out their chopsticks to pick up the snails to eat. The snails before the Qingming Festival are the fattest and most delicious. There is a saying that the snails compete with goose meat before the Mingming Festival. After the Qingming Festival, the snails lost weight, and there were many small snails in them, which made eating not enjoyable at all. + +Seeing that everyone was no longer entangled in the topic of Tian Sisi's use of oil, Tian Xinhua smiled slightly. He would still remind Grandpa to pay attention to it in the future and not to make it too obvious. He had long noticed that the meat, rice and oil at Grandpa's house were much richer. These must have something to do with Grandpa. He would have to be more careful in the future. Grandma would not have thought of it at her young age, so he would pay more attention. + +After lunch, they continued to pack Qingming fruit. In the afternoon, Tian Xinhua, Tian Shouhua, and Tian Sisi were all sent out to deliver Qingming fruit. Tian Sisi and a few others delivered Qingming fruit in the village, while Tian Xinhua and Tian Shouhua went outside. It is mainly given to the married daughters of the Tian family, and also to let their husband's family know that the daughter-in-law's family background is sufficient, and the ingredients of the Qingming fruit package are delicious and good. + +Jianguo also went there. He wanted to go back to see Tian Manlan and tell his mother that he and his two younger brothers were living very well at his grandpa's house.

Tian Sisi's basket was filled with salty fruits, Tian Qinghua was filled with snow dumplings, and Donghua was filled with ginkgo fruits. + +They first went to Zhong Fugao's house, where Zhong Wanhua and Zhong Fugao's wife Gao Qiuming were present. Mother and daughter were also packing Qingming fruits. Tian Sisi asked Zhong Wanhua to take out a dustpan, and took fifteen of each type of fruit and placed them on the dustpan, green and white, very beautiful. + +"Ah, your mother-in-law is so polite. How can there be so many fruits that are easy to get?" Gao Qiuming didn't expect that the Tian family would bring such fruits. It was such a big deal. + +"Mother Zhong, my mother-in-law said that she should thank Sister Wanhua for her help. She also said that our two families have a good relationship, so we should send more fruits." + +Tian Sisi's words made Gao Qiuming amused. She stretched out her hand and pinched Tian Sisi's little face gently, "Is this little mouth of A'nan covered with honey? It makes Mother Zhong feel sweet. Isn't it right for you, Sister Wanhua, to help you? A'nan should be careful in the future, and stay away from Zhong Yuying when she sees her." + +Gao Qiuming was shocked when she heard her daughter talk about this when she came back yesterday. She quickly told her daughter to be careful. As for the other children, because they were all sons, she was not very worried. + +"I know, that's what the Queen said. Sister Zhong, let's go. Sister Wanhua, next time we will go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables together." Tian Sisi waved and said goodbye. They still had to send several gifts to others. + +Several girls who went to the mountains to pick Qingming grass that day were all delivered to their homes, which made everyone in the village marvel at the Tian family's good conduct. Of course, the number of Qingming fruits varies depending on the relationship. For example, Zhong Anmei's family sent more Qingming fruits. This was something Tian Xinhua had specially confessed before. Tian Xinhua and Zhong Anmei's two brothers have a very good relationship. Tian Sisi also likes Zhong Anmei's bright and cheerful atmosphere, so of course she is willing to give more. + +Because it was under the banner of gratitude, Tian Sisi was not sneaky, so she knocked on the door of landlord Zhong's house openly and openly. Zhong Anmei opened the door and saw Tian Sisi. She was stunned for a moment, and then laughed. She did not expect that Tian Sisi would knock on her door in such broad daylight, but because of this, Zhong Anmei had a deeper affection for Tian Sisi. + +Tian Sisi deliberately brought out some more salted fruits and some salted snow dumplings. She smiled and said, "I made these, and they are filled with salty fillings. They taste good when I eat them. You eat them and see if they taste good?" + +These salty snow dumplings were steamed and still warm. Zhong Anmei picked up one and took a bite. The delicious filling and the fragrance of Qingming grass were mixed together. It was really delicious. She squinted and nodded, "It's delicious, Sisi. The Qingming fruit you made is really delicious. I didn't expect that the snow dumplings can also be made salty. I will make them like this when we make them at home. I'll treat you to it next time." + +"Okay, then I'll wait. Let's go. You put these fruits away. These are raw. You have to steam them before eating them." Tian Sisi said a few words and then took Tian Qinghua and Donghua away. The last remaining fruits were for Zhong Juying and Zhong Meiying's family. The two families were almost the same, both had fifty fruits each. + +Zhong Anmei carried a dustpan of Qingming fruit and hummed to the kitchen to cook dinner. When the Zhong family came home from work in the evening, they saw a large plate of green and white Qingming fruit. She thought it was Zhong Anmei who had packed it at home alone. Zhong Yubai's wife, Yu Xiuhua, said angrily, "Anmei, didn't Mommy tell you to wait until I come back before packing it? You hurt your hand by wrapping it carefully by yourself. Let your father rub it for you after dinner." + +As her name suggests, Yu Xiuhua is a very delicate and fair woman. Although she is also dressed in coarse cloth, she looks different from ordinary rural women. She has a bookish air. Yu Xiuhua's natal family is not in Suicheng. She is from Ningbo, and her family is also a scholarly family, but she is also a rich farmer now. Zhong Yubai's grandfather and Yu Xiuhua's grandfather are very good friends, so the two families became in-laws. Anyway, both families are rich farmers, so no one should dislike the other. + +Zhong Yubai has a long and graceful body, and always has a calm look on his face. It seems that you can't see him when he is anxious, because he and Yu Xiuhua both have good looks, so their three children are all very beautiful and have good temperament. They don't look like ordinary rural children, and between them twoUnder the husband and wife's personal education since childhood, the children of the Zhong family are very detached and have a low regard for external things. Therefore, Zhong Yubai's two sons in the previous life were very successful. The eldest son Zhong Anping, like Tian Xinhua, became a big entrepreneur. Although the second son Zhong Ankang's company is not as big as that of his eldest brother, he is also a successful person. + +Zhong Anmei hurriedly explained with a smile, "Dad, Mom, I didn't make these. Tian Sisi sent these. I steamed half of them, and we'll eat the other half tomorrow. I just ate one. It tasted good, and there was a lot of ingredients inside." + +The Zhong family also has a good habit, that is, they will not hide anything delicious and eat it. According to Zhong Yubai's philosophy, delicious food must be eaten while it is fresh. It is the most irrational thing to hide it for a long time before eating it.

She also complained about why God allowed her to be born into such a family. But as long as she heard her father speak, her mood would become better again.

The large and small bags on the car were filled with things that He Xuewen had purchased, including ceroliang cloth, lamp oil, biscuits, fruit candies, white sugar, brown sugar, meat, red leather shoes, etc. They were all used for food. The red leather shoes were specially bought by He Xuewen for Tian Sisi. They were the kind that tied shoes. Many girls in later generations like to wear this kind of retro style leather shoes, which look very ladylike when they are worn. + +After He Xuewen put down all the things, he took a bag of sugar and a bag of Xinanjiang and handed them to Zhong Fugao.

How could he spend so much money? + +"It's okay, it's not worth much. I like grandma, let alone a pair of leather shoes, even ten pairs are not worth anything." He Xuewen had just found his daughter, and he wanted to pick off the moon in the sky and give it to his precious daughter. How could he care about a pair of leather shoes? Besides, he has traveled all over the world in the past few years. Although it has been a bit harder, he has also made a lot of money. + +Mrs. Zhao wanted to say more, but was stopped by the old man. In the old man's opinion, his granddaughter was just popular, so it was no big deal for He Xuewen to buy a pair of leather shoes for his grandma to wear. The most important thing was that the old man saw that He Xuewen was not short of money. + +Tian Sisi took off the cloth shoes on her feet and put them on. They were a little too big, but they still fit her feet. She put on leather shoes on both feet. She wore dark red corduroy pants, which went well with the red leather shoes. However, the socks she wore were a little wrong. Today she wore floral nylon socks, which contrasted with the red leather shoes. + +Tian Sisi frowned, raised her head and said to He Xuewen: "Uncle He, next time you buy me a pair of black leather shoes, also of this style. Black shoes go well with clothes. Although red ones are beautiful, they are a bit difficult to match with clothes. I have to buy skirts and socks specifically for these shoes, which is too troublesome." + +"Why don't you know how to be polite, little girl? How can you ask for a gift from Uncle He? Tell me what you want, and she will buy it for you." Mrs. Zhao was so embarrassed that she didn't expect her always well-behaved granddaughter to ask for gifts from guests. It was really an embarrassment to her old woman. + +However, He Xuewen was extremely happy. In his opinion, this was because his daughter was not being polite to him. He nodded quickly and said, "Okay, next time I will buy the black pair, and also buy a beautiful skirt and socks. Grandma will definitely look good in them." + +"Well, the socks need to be one color, not colorful, and the same goes for the skirt. Otherwise, Uncle He will buy the cloth and I will ask my mother to make it for me, so I can make it whatever I want." Tian Sisi is not polite to He Xuewen at all. In her opinion, there is nothing to be polite to her own father. + +The old man also smiled and started discussing with them. The old man, the middle man and the young man talked happily.

It seemed that Yuequan Village was really a Feng Shui treasure, and everyone here felt proud of it. + +"Then what are your plans?" The old man squinted at He Xuewen. He was always a little confused about this little brother He. He had thought that He Xuewen might be A-nan's relative, but after so many days, He Xuewen didn't say anything.

He didn't know whether He Xuewen's appearance in Yuequan Village was intentional or unintentional, and the old man didn't believe He Xuewen's recuperation at all. + +In the old man's opinion, He Xuewen must have a purpose in staying in Yuequan Village, but now it seems that He Xuewen still has no ill intentions towards the Tian family, but actually has good intentions.

Since he couldn't figure out He Xuewen's intentions, it would be better to put him under his nose. Even if there was something wrong, he could find out immediately.

As soon as Tian Manyin opened his mouth and said that the old man agreed, Tian Bajin agreed without even thinking.

He just didn't like A-nan getting close to that guy He Chengsi. He always felt as if something that belonged to him was being shared. He felt awkward, but he didn't know. What's going on? Ah Nan is extremely affectionate to that He Chengsi, which makes him angry. I originally thought that this guy would only stay for a few days and then go home, but I didn't expect that after one night, he would stay for a long time, and he still lives behind Ah Nan's house. It's really unreasonable! + +However, no matter how unhappy Tian Xinhua was, he could not stop the groundbreaking of He Xuewen's new residence. The next day, Zhong Boqiang and Tian Bajin accompanied He Xuewen to the foot of Yuequan Mountain to look at the land. He Xuewen had already taken a fancy to a relatively flat land at the foot of the mountain, about three meters away. Four hundred square meters, with Yuequan Mountain in the back and a small bamboo forest in front, the environment is very quiet. The most important thing is that there is a naturally formed mountain spring puddle here. The water is very clear. Drinking raw water like this is very sweet, saving He Xuewen the need to dig a well. + +There are many springs and puddles like this on Yuequan Mountain, so Zhong Boqiang and Tian Bajin were not impressed that He Xuewen chose this land with a spring puddle. In their opinion, this land is neither in the middle of the road nor occupied by trees. In rural areas, this is a waste land with no great use. Now it can be sold to make money. The villagers must be happy. + +As they expected, when Zhong Boqiang called the villagers under the old camphor tree and told He Xuewen that He Xuewen was willing to spend two hundred yuan to buy the wasteland at the foot of Yuequan Mountain, the villagers were very happy. The two hundred yuan was divided according to the household, and each family could get one or two yuan. This was not a small sum, and could buy two or three kilograms of meat! + +But none of them expected that this distant relative of the Tian family would be so rich? In order to avoid trouble, the old man asked He Xuewen to claim that he was a distant relative of the Tian family. Living in the countryside, it would be difficult to live without relatives and friends to take care of you. People in the village would try their best to exclude you. Although you are not afraid, it is sometimes a headache for these simple villagers to behave badly. + +Therefore, when they heard that they were distant relatives of the Tian family, the thorny people who were still ready to move had to suppress their excitement and prepare to wait and see. Seeing that the father and son were a pretty boy and a brat, they should all be soft persimmons. The Tian familyIt is impossible to look at the two of them all the time. There will always be misunderstandings. At that time, they will come back to apply some grease. Look at the clothes of the two father and son. Look at them buying a piece of land for 200 yuan without blinking an eye. There must be a lot of grease on them. + +Of course He Xuewen knew that even with the care of the Tian family, if he didn't be stronger, he would definitely be bullied in the future, but he didn't take it to heart. To him, the petty quarrels of these villagers were nothing, and he didn't mind letting the villagers take advantage of them. As long as it's not too much, he won't argue with it, but if someone wants to go too far, he won't be afraid. He Xuewen squinted at a few greedy villagers in the crowd, and sneered calmly. + +After the land deed was obtained, He Xuewen's new house broke ground. He hired a full-time worker and paid one yuan and fifty cents a day, but three meals a day were not included. He had to go home and take care of it himself. When the villagers heard that the salary was one yuan and fifty cents, they were so happy that they were so happy that other places provided meals for a day. At most, it was just one yuan of labor, but now it was five cents more, half more. It took about twenty days to build this house, and these twenty days were only ten yuan more. Thinking of this, the villagers who came to work were very motivated, so why would they care if they had food to eat? + +The old man wanted to let He Xuewen build a bungalow at will, but He Xuewen planned to use this place as his base in the future. At least in the next four or five years, he would have to stay here for a long time. The most important thing was that he still had his precious daughter to live in (He Xuewen didn't even think about how Tian Sisi would live with him when he had a family of his own). Of course, he had to make the house more comfortable and stable. + +For this reason, He Xuewen did not use the clay bricks commonly used in man-made houses in the village. Instead, he used blue bricks, three two-story buildings, and built a wall one person high. Originally, He Xuewen wanted to use glass doors and windows, but the old man stopped him. Not a single house in the whole village has glass doors and windows. Isn't it hateful that you, an outsider, actually use glass windows? He Xuewen thought about it and had no choice but to use paper windows like the locals. + +The new house here is going on with great vigor, and Tian Sisi can only continue to go to school resentfully. But this time they have another companion, classmate He Chengsi. As soon as the new house is built, He Xuewen lets his adopted son go to school. Although he can teach himself, after all, he himself teaches and the schoolThe teachings were different. The most important thing was that the child Chengsi had been following him around all these years without even a friend, which made him feel deeply sorry for his adopted son. Now that he had settled down, of course he had to let Chengsi experience the collective life of the school like a normal child. + +It's just that the kid He Chengsi couldn't understand He Xuewen's painstaking efforts. When he heard that his adoptive father actually wanted to send him to school, his head immediately grew three times. However, he had always been extremely respectful to He Xuewen and would never disobey his adoptive father. Therefore, although he was unwilling to go to school and suffer, he still agreed with a frown on his face. + +Tian Sisi found it funny. Why didn't anyone around her like reading? Of course, Tian Shouhua does not count. Tian Shouhua is an outlier of the Tian family. He loves reading. In his previous life, Tian Shouhua was admitted to Shanghai Jiao Tong University as soon as the college entrance examination was resumed. However, his major was not good.

They just thought that after entering university, they would have a guaranteed job. + +Therefore, Tian Shouhua followed the school's arrangement and studied heat treatment, and was later assigned to the Shanghai Machine Tool Factory after graduation. Although he later gradually became a senior leader of the Shanghai Machine Tool Factory, in Tian Sisi's view, Tian Shouhua's achievements should not be just a factory leader waiting to die. If Tian Shouhua had studied finance, medicine, law, etc., perhaps Tian Shouhua would have become a top figure in these industries. + +With her by my side in this life, I must make sure that Brother Shouhua doesn't agree to obey the school's arrangements. At that time, many students suffered a secret loss because they checked this box, and ended up being assigned to those rough majors. The good majors they filled in were taken away by those well-connected students. Hum, this time with her watching, she will definitely let Brother Shouhua choose a good major. When the time comes, he can show off his skills and dominate the world.

What does A'nan have to do with you? How shameless!" + +"You are shameless, you deceitful villain. Sisi is my sister anyway." He Chengsi felt miserable in his heart. His father said that he could not tell Sisi's true identity, which made him unable to recognize his sister openly, and he was taken over by this pretty boy! + +"Hmph! Who can I blame for my lack of brains? My defeated general still wants to steal my sister from me? Just stay there!" Tian Xinhua pulled Tian Sisi away. + +He Chengsi was so angry that Tian Xinhua's nose turned to the sky that he blushed and thickened his neck. He threw his schoolbag on the ground and yelled: "Who is the loser? Let's compete again and see who is better?" + +"You want to compete? I don't want to exert any effort today. When I'm in a good mood, I can play with you again!" Tian Xinhua snorted, pulling Tian Sisi forward. + +He Chengsi was so angry that Tian Xinhua looked so arrogant.

How could a silly boy like He Chengsi be better than Tian Xinhua? You're not asking for it. + +"Brother He, let's go to school quickly? Don't be angry!" + +He Chengsi, who was panting with anger, was coaxed by Tian Sisi's soft words to smile. He immediately picked up his schoolbag and followed behind. Now Tian Xinhua felt uncomfortable. He kept a straight face and remained silent. Tian Sisi sighed and had to say nice words to coax Tian Xinhua. This one was not as easy to coax as He Chengsi. It took a lot of Tian Sisi's saliva to put a smile on Tian Xinhua's face. + +Tian Qinghua and Jianguo Donghua had wisely stayed away from each other since the war started.

When Tian Qinghua saw the fifth brother who was getting into trouble, Tian Qinghua opened his mouth in surprise, "I didn't expect that fifth brother could be so childish?" + +Jianguo and Donghua both believed this. In their hearts, Tian Xinhua had the same status as an adult. However, after such a fuss, Tian Xinhua decisively changed from an adult to an elder brother. + +Because He Chengsi had a background under He Xuewen in the past, Principal Luo tested He Chengsi's level and placed him in Tian Sisi's third-grade class. Tian Xinhua was sore for a while, but He Chengsi was elated. He suddenly felt that studying was also good, and he could be with his wife every day. How beautiful! + +Zhong Yuying was not seen in the school. It must have been Zhong Liang who stopped her from studying. Tian Sisi was quite sorry. She had originally planned to bully Zhong Yuying in school to avenge her fall into the pit that day, but now that she was away, she had no choice but to give up. But Tian Sisi didn't know that Qiu Tian Xinhua, He Chengsi and Donghua Jianguo had long been avenged for her. + +In the past few days, Zhong Yuying suddenly fell down when walking (He Chengsi did it), or was chased and bitten by dogs (rhubarb was tempted by Donghua Jianguo's delicious food, and he could do all kinds of immoral things), and the children in the village would scold her and throw small stones at her when they saw her (Tian Xinhua instigated the villagers with candy)In short, Zhong Yuying has been living in trepidation these two days. Not only does she have to do heavy work at home, but she also has to endure the glare of the villagers. The most important thing is that she can no longer go to school. This is the most serious blow to Zhong Yuying who wants to escape from Yuequan Village. + +Jianguo and He Chengsi's joint battle against Zhong Yuying deepened their revolutionary friendship. In Jianguo's view, if He Chengsi can deal with the bad guys for Sister Sisi like him, then he is definitely not a kidnapper. The most important thing is that the old man made it clear that the two father and son are not bad people. Therefore, after Jianguo and He Chengsi resolved their misunderstanding, they became good friends. This is called knowing each other without fighting. + +At He Chengsi's initiative, he was assigned to sit at the same table as Tian Sisi. Tian Sisi didn't care. The previous tablemate was a boy from Jinkeng Village named Jin Duofu. The family conditions should be good. At least the clothes he wore were thick cotton-padded jackets. Although there were a few patches on them, in this day and age, children rarely wear clothes without patches. + +Basically, it is a new set of clothes. The eldest brother passes it on to the second child, who then passes it on to the third child, who passes it on to the third child, and the third child passes it on to the fourth child. By the end, the patches on the clothes are already layer upon layer, and the original appearance of the clothes cannot be seen. Therefore, being the eldest child in this era has its advantages. At least he has new clothes to wear, unlike the youngest who wears old clothes every year. + +This boy named Jin Duofu was quite noisy, but in front of Tian Sisi, he immediately turned into a shy little boy. He honestly guarded one third of the desk and did not dare to cross the boundary. It was okay originally, but what Tian Sisi couldn't stand the most wasThis Jin Duofu has a very disgusting hobby - eating snot. Except in the hottest summer, at any other time, there are always two long lines of snot hanging under Jin Duofu's nose. He keeps sucking it in and flowing out in an endless stream. + +It didn't matter, anyway, she didn't touch Jin Duofu, but this guy always made a slurp when his nose was uncontrollable, and he just put it into his mouth, and kept smashing his mouth. It was delicious. Whenever this time, Tian Sisi would feel a tightness in her chest and wanted to vomit, and she had to hold back from roaring at this Jin Duofu. + +That's why as soon as He Chengsi came to school this time, Tian Sisi came up with this good idea to replace Jin Duofu. If he sat down like this again, she really couldn't guarantee that she would beat this kid. It was so disgusting! + +Jin Duofu was aggrieved to be replaced. He had been sitting with Tian Sisi for half a semester. The boys in the school envied him. Even when he went home and talked to his brothers and sisters at home, they were jealous. His status in the family skyrocketed, because since then, his name was no longer prefixed with Xiaowu Jinduofu, but Jin Duofu, the classmate of Shanghai Sister. This was a nice name, but after today, he had to change back to Xiaowu Jinduofu. + +Seeing the dejected Jin Duofu, Tian Sisi also felt a little guilty. To be honest, if this boy didn't have that disgusting hobby, he would be an excellent classmate. However, his hobby was only disgusting to Tian Sisi. Five or six out of ten male classmates in the class had two yellow rivers hanging under their noses. Speaking of which, Jin Duofu couldn't be blamed for being unhygienic. Who made children at this time have such virtues? + +Jin Duofu moved behind Tian Sisi and sat at the same table with Zhong Juying. In the past, no one in the class wanted to sit with Zhong Juying because she was dressed too sloppily. Now that she has dressed neatly and tidied up a little, her whole person has completely changed. She has become a pretty little girl, and she is not as marginalized in the class as before. + +Therefore, Jin Duofu was not unhappy about sitting down with Zhong Juying. He did not have any prejudice against Zhong Juying, who was born as a rich farmer, like other classmates. He smiled with Zhong Juying after sitting there, but he was not as honest as before when he sat with Tian Sisi. + +Tian Sisi couldn't stand it anymore. She waved to Jin Duofu and whispered, "Do you want some sweets?" + +"Yes!" Jin Duofu nodded vigorously and sniffed. Who doesn't want to eat candy? + +"Then you clear the table. I feel uncomfortable when you look so messy." Tian Sisi could only think of this excuse. She couldn't be too obvious about helping Zhong Juying. + +Jin Duofu was a smart boy. He understood Tian Sisi's meaning after just a few turns. He couldn't help but look at Zhong Juying with doubts. His little face turned red when he looked at him carefully. He didn't expect Zhong Juying, who was usually slovenly, to be so good-looking. Boys are naturally fond of and sympathetic to beautiful girls. So Jin Duofu felt extremely ashamed when he thought of his domineering behavior just now. + +He quickly took back his books and stationery, which made Zhong Juying feel a little at a loss.

Not to mention thinking about it like this, it really reminded Tian Sisi of an allusion. + +My mother in her previous life mentioned that a sensational incident happened in Luoling Primary School at this time. During recess in Jinkeng Village, a male classmate was so bored that he folded a telephone with homework paper, then put the phone to his ear and playfully said something. It was this sentence that caused the male classmate to fall into an abyss and live in dire straits ever since. + +What this male classmate said was "Hey, where are you? Are you in Taiwan?". As long as no one reported it, this matter would have been dismissed as a child's joke. However, there happened to be a female classmate in the class who loved to make trouble. This female classmate was from Yuequan Village. Her name was Gao Hongmei. The daughter of an accountant in Yuequan Village, when she heard that this male classmate actually called Taiwan, she immediately went back and told her uncle who was a rebel in the town. As you can imagine, the male classmate was accused of being a Taiwan spy and was beaten to death. Along with his parents, brothers and sisters, they almost lost their lives. + +It's just that Tian Sisi can't remember the name of this male classmate. She only remembers that he was in her current class, probably during this time, because her mother said in the previous life that it was the time to eat Qingming fruit. Could it be that the sad male classmate was Jin Duofu, right? Tian Sisi couldn't help but glance at Jin Duofu a few more times. Seeing him sniffing and snorting again, "Evil", Tian Sisi immediately turned her head and determined not to look at this disgusting guy again. + +She thought for a while and should pay more attention to Jin Duofu. If she saw him folding a phone, she would immediately stop him from shouting those two fatal words. Saving a life would be better than building a seven-level pagoda! Tian Sisi was so moved by her compassion. Where could she find a beautiful, kind and smart girl like her? + +Thinking of this female classmate named Gao Hongmei, Tian Sisi also remembered that the original owner had a good friend and a rival in the past. The good friend was of course Zhong Yuying, and the rival was this one named Gao Hongmei. Gao Hongmei was two years older than Tian Sisi, 12 years old. She was short, fat and strong, stronger than boys of the same age. She looked like her mother Tian Chunfang. + +Gao Hongmei's mother, Tian Chunfang, is also a dark, fat, stout woman, and is quite popular in rural areas. However, Tian Chunfang is a bit obsessed with success. She is the kind of woman who is obsessed with face. She eats chaffy vegetables at home. When she goes out, she will definitely put a piece of fat pig skin on her mouth and smear her lips with oil. When she meets people, she will brag about how delicious the meat at home is and how delicious it is. Her belly was full, and because she and Gao Hongmei were fat and strong, many people believed her. They also joked that she and her daughter ate all the meat in her family, while everyone else was as thin as a stick. Her lie continued for several years, until someone caught her wiping a piece of bare meat skin hanging on the stove on her mouth, and the cowhide was exposed. + +Tian Chunfang didn't do much except like to compare and save face, but her husband Gao Yuzhu was not that good. He was the kind of person who was wilted and bad. Although Gao Yuzhu was from the farm, he was one of the few outsiders in the farm. He came to the farm to settle down as a beggar with his grandparents. Therefore, his family was a disadvantaged group in Yuequan Village and had always lived with his tail between his legs. + +But Gao Yuzhu was very ambitious, and he was unwilling to succumb to others, so he thought of a way to hook up with Tian Chunfang. Tian Chunfang's father, Tian Shuimiao, used to be an old accountant in Yuequan Village, and he was very good at calculating. Tian SisiHis second uncle, Tian Manmu, learned his abacus from Tian Shuimiao. Gao Yuzhu was pretty good-looking, with a slender figure, delicate appearance, and a sweet mouth. How could the dark and fat Tian Chunfang withstand such a sweet offensive? Gao Yuzhu captured him within two months. + +After marrying Tian Chunfang, Gao Yuzhu launched his father-in-law offensive again, coaxing Tian Shuimiao to be very happy. He also taught his son-in-law the unique skills of abacus, and recommended his son-in-law to be the accountant of the village, even to his own three sons. Because of this, the relationship between Tian Chunfang and his three brothers was not very good. + +After Gao Yuzhu became the village accountant, his status skyrocketed and he was considered a standout in the village. However, he was not satisfied. A few years later, he married his youngest sister, Gao Yulan, to a rebel leader in the town who was much older than Gao Yuzhu. The 18-year-old Gao Yulan was more than ten years older and had an ugly appearance. The little Tou Tou got a beautiful young daughter-in-law for no reason. She was very curious and doted on Gao Yulan. Moreover, Gao Yulan gave birth to two fat boys in a row within two years of her marriage, and her status skyrocketed. + +Therefore, Gao Yuzhu is equivalent to having a small group of rebels in Wangjia Town, and he lives quite freely. However, the people in Yuequan Village keep Gao Yuzhu at a distance, but they dare not offend him. This man is a two-faced man. He smiles with you in front of you, but might stab you in the back. He is similar to Zhong Liangcai, but a little better than Zhong Liangcai. At least he has some face, and is not the kind of person who does not recognize his relatives. + +Because she was taught by her mother Tian Chunfang since she was a child, Gao Hongmei always believed that her family in Yuequan Village was a superior family, and she was also the little princess of Yuequan Village (of course she thought so). However, after she went to school, Gao Hongmei realized that her previous thoughts were too naive, and that Tian Sisi was the real princess. Although she didn't want to admit it, the reality was that she had to admit that Tian Sisi's clothes were prettier than hers, Tian Sisi's hair was prettier than hers, and Tian Sisi's pocket money was more than hers... Of course, Gao Hongmei would never admit that Tian Sisi was prettier than her. + +That's why Gao Hongmei, who wholeheartedly believed that Tian Sisi had robbed her of her status, was always cold-tempered towards Tian Sisi. If Gao Yuzhu hadn't warned her not to mess with Tian Sisi, she wouldn't have just said a few snarky words and kicked Tian Sisi out of school long ago. + +Tian Sisi looked towards the front row, and met the fat and dark Gao Hongmei looking towards them. When she saw Tian Sisi, she glared fiercely and turned around to continue listening to the teacher. Her back was straight, her hands were folded behind her, very seriously. Seeing Gao Hongmei's broad back, Tian Sisi couldn't help but feel happy. + +Although Gao Hongmei is short, she is fat, and she is not the shortest person in the class. In order to show that her status is extraordinary, Gao Hongmei asked her mother Tian Chunfang to tell Principal Luo to sit in the first row in the middle. Intimidated by her uncle's power, Principal Luo, who just wanted to calm things down, had no choice but to put Gao Hongmei in the first row in the middle, which caused hardship to the students behind her. + +It would be okay if he was only taller, at worst he could see the blackboard if he turned sideways, but Gao Hongmei was still wide, not only blocking the top, but also blocking the left and right sides. The students behind him couldn't see the words on the blackboard no matter how they jumped up and down. They were all complaining, but no one dared to complain. Gao Hongmei's family was not a bad person, so they could still tolerate it. + +Of course Tian Sisi is not afraid of Gao Hongmei, but she doesn't want to cause more trouble for such a villain who carries revolutionary slogans. As long as Gao Hongmei doesn't take the initiative to provoke her, Tian Sisi won't touch her. It's best if we don't fight. + +After class, Tian Sisi didn't want to go out to play. She leaned on the desk with her chin in her hands and thought about something. She didn't know when her uncle would buy his camera back. It was almost half a month ago. Alas, that's the bad thing about this era. You can't buy good things even if you have money. + +Because the weather was getting warmer, Tian Sisi wore the red leather shoes that He Xuewen bought for her today, paired with the pure white socks that He Xuewen bought for her later. In the afternoon, the sun hit the seat, making her warm. Tian Sisi took off the outer thin coat, revealing the yellow and white sweater underneath. The sweater was knitted by Zhu Aiqing.

To be honest, she was also envious in her heart.

This sentence was the reaction of everyone who had seen Gao Hongmei wearing a dress at that time, but no one would point it out to her, and even said it looked good against her will. Gao Hongmei happily wore the dress for several days, and also made her classmates at school happy for several days. + +Tian Sisi looked out the window boredly. He Chengsi originally wanted to go outside to play, but seeing that Tian Sisi wouldn't go out, he just stayed by the side and didn't go out.

Jin Duofu held the fruit candy given by Tian Sisi in his mouth, tore two pieces of paper from his homework book, and folded something. He just learned how to fold a telephone from his third sister who was in high school in the town. Now that he has nothing to do, he can just fold it and make a call. + +"Jin Duofu, what are you folding?" Seeing Tian Sisi in a daze, He Chengsi had to look back and saw Jin Duofu folding something, and couldn't help but ask curiously. + +"I am folding a telephone. My third sister taught me how to fold it. I heard that this thing can make calls and can send sounds to far, far away places. It is very magical." Jin Duofu answered while folding it. + +"Telephone?" Tian Sisi came to her senses immediately. She stood up and turned around. She happened to see Jin Duofu folding a microphone and blowing hard on it with his mouth. After a while, it turned into a bulging microphone. + +That unlucky male classmate is really Jin Dofu! Tian Sisi immediately became alert and looked around the classroom. At this time, Gao Hongmei walked into the classroom and stared at Tian Sisi fiercely in her seat. Tian Sisi was stunned. Didn't Gao Hongmei hear Jin Duofu's joke because she was staring at the original owner in her previous life?(In fact, this was indeed the case in the previous life. Gao Hongmei had been paying attention to the original owner because of jealousy, so she happened to hear Jin Duofu calling. Gao Hongmei, who was in a bad mood, immediately found someone to vent her anger on.) + +If this was the case, then she should save Jin Duofu, but she couldn't just let Jin Duofu break the phone. Tian Sisi had no choice but to stare at Jin Duofu, planning to stop Jin Duofu when he shouted the word "tai". She could only do this so that no one would suspect that she knew what Jin Duofu wanted to shout in advance. +"Sisi, there are biscuits in my schoolbag, do you want to eat them?" He Chengsi said to Tian Sisi in a flattering manner, reaching into the bag to get the biscuits.

How could she have time to eat snacks now? She had to save people! + +When He Chengsi heard that Tian Sisi didn't want to eat, he stopped. Biscuits are only something girls like to eat. He is a man, so of course he has to eat meat and drink wine.

He inserted the handle into the two microphones, and a lifelike telephone came out. Jin Duofu smiled with satisfaction. He put the telephone to his ear. Tian Sisi couldn't help but become nervous. The critical moment came. She involuntarily tensed up and pursed her lips tightly. + +He Chengsi next to him didn't understand why Tian Sisi was so nervous. When he was about to ask, Jin Duofu, the unlucky kid, said loudly: "Hey, where are you? It's Taiwan..." + +"Jin Duofu, do you have any relatives in Taizhou?" Tian Sisi had already thought of a countermeasure. In Suicheng dialect, the Taiwanese characters for Taizhou and the Taiwanese characters for Taiwan are pronounced twice, so she only had to make everyone think that Jin Duofu meant Taizhou. + +Jin Duofu was asked so abruptly by Tian Sisi. He had already forgotten the word "Taiwan" he wanted to say just now. His thoughts were distracted by Tian Sisi, and he subconsciously replied: "No, Taizhou is so far away from us. How can I have relatives there?" + +"Then why are you calling Taizhou? I thought you had relatives in Taizhou!" After successfully saving a flower of the motherland, Tian Sisi was in a good mood. She sat down relaxedly and asked He Chengsi for cookies. + +Although He Chengsi didn't understand why Sister Sisi suddenly wanted to eat biscuits again, he happily took out the biscuits from his schoolbag and handed them to Tian Sisi.

Jin Duofu's family is considered to be a middle-class family in Jinkeng Village. His father, Jin Wangcai, is an ancestral bamboo craftsman. Because there are many bamboos in Jinkeng Village, there are many bamboo craftsmen in Jinkeng Village, but Jin Wangcai is the one with the best craftsmanship. The bamboo products such as mats, bamboo baskets, and dustpans made by Jin Wangcai are not only beautiful, but also durable. + +Therefore, during the off-season, Jin Wangcai would go to other villages to make mats or weave other bamboo products from house to house. These things are used by rural people, and Jin Wangcai is a famous bamboo craftsman in Wangjia Town. Fu, his business is still very good. For one yuan and five wages a day or in exchange for rice and other grains, he can earn a lot in a year. Therefore, the Jin family lives a very good life. At least they can have enough food and clothing, and there is still enough money to buy furniture. + +Jin Duofu has three sisters and one brother. He is the fifth and the youngest. The family loves this youngest child very much. During dinner, when they saw that the youngest son was not as happy as usual and just focused on eating, Jin Duofu's mother, Zhong Cuiyu, raised her hand and touched Jin Duofu's forehead. + +"It's not hot, Xiao Wu, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" + +"No." Jin Duofu said dullly. After all, he was only an 11-year-old child. Although nothing happened in the afternoon, the more he thought about the consequences, the more scared he became, and he also blamed himself. If Tian Sisi didn't stop him, his parents and grandparents would have to suffer with him. Therefore, Jin Duofu decided to be a silent person in the future and never say another word. + +"It's okay, why didn't you say a word?" Grandma Jin's family was also anxious. This little grandson was his lifeblood. Now he was so different from usual, could she not be anxious? Grandma Jin didn't even eat. She walked up to Jin Duofu and kept mumbling, "Isn't it because I'm scared? How about I go to the river to summon Xiao Wu's spirit?" + +The grandfather of the Jin family also agreed. He also felt that something was wrong with his grandson. Seeing that everyone in the family cared about him so much, but he almost killed his family, the more he thought about it, the more guilty he felt. Jin Duofu couldn't help crying "Wow". + +"Grandpa, mother, father, mother, I almost killed you today. Oh, I don't want to talk anymore, I want to be mute." + +Jin Duofu's words made the Jin family confused. The grandmother of the Jin family thought that the grandson must be possessed, otherwise how could he say such incomprehensible words. It was better for Jin Wangcai to calm down. He asked his parents and wife to disperse, while he pulled his youngest son and asked nicely. + +"Xiaowu, tell daddy, what did you do today? How could you almost kill us?" + +"Oh, I called today..." Jin Duofu choked and told what happened at school in the afternoon, which made the whole Jin family tremble. + +Jin Wangcai was so angry that he picked up the broom in the corner and beat Jin Duofu down, "You little bastard, are you trying to kill the whole family? Huh? You hit the wrong place, but you have to hit that place. You little bastard, I'll just beat you to death to save yourself from causing trouble to the family in the future." + +Jin Duofu didn't beg for mercy. In his opinion, this was what he deserved. Only by being beaten by his father would he feel better. Others felt sorry for Jin Duofu, but they also knew that he really deserved to be beaten this time. If the female classmate named Tian Sisi hadn't stopped Xiao Wu, the Jin family would have been in catastrophe. Uncle Jin Tian in the village was a bloody example! Uncle Jintian is the old man selling tofu. + +Jin Wangcai beat him more than a dozen times, but when he saw that his youngest son did not beg for mercy as before, he bit his lip and resisted forcefully, looking pitiful, considering that he was his own flesh and blood, Jin Wangcai's broomstick became lighter and lighter. In the end, he was too lazy to hit him, threw the broom away, and snorted angrily. + +"Xiao Wu, do you know how powerful this time is? Grandpa said in the past that it is better to do it once than to say ten things. Fortunately, your female classmate stopped you this time. Otherwise, not only you, but also our whole family would have suffered. Xiao Wu, Grandpa hopes you can learn the lesson from this time!" Grandpa Jin said earnestly to Jin Duofu who was kneeling on the ground. + +Jin Duofu couldn't help crying and nodded. He had long hated his bad mouth. Since then, he seemed to have changed. He became steady and cautious. He would not say a word more than necessary, but when it was time to speak, he would be eloquent. + +"Wangcai, we should thank that female classmate. Although she doesn't know it, we have to repay the favor." Grandpa Jin's family turned to speak to his son. + +Jin Wangcai couldn't help but nodded, "That's right. How about I go to that female classmate's house tomorrow?" + +"Little bastard, where does your female classmate live?" Jin Wangcai yelled at his son. + +"That's Tian Sisi, a famous Shanghainese girl from Yuequan Village. Her grandfather was an old revolutionary who killed Little Japan, and my mother knew her." Jin Duofu said with sobs. + +Zhong Cuiyu was married from Yuequan Village. When she heard her son talking about Miss Shanghai, she suddenly realized: "So it's her family. Isn't her name Zhaodi? Why is she called Sisi now?" + +"The name was changed when school started. Now her name is Tian Sisi, which means remembering the bitter and sweet." + +"Miss Shanghai? Is her grandfather's name Tian Liujin?" the Jin family's grandfather asked his daughter-in-law. + +"Yes, it's Uncle Liujin. His younger brother, Uncle Bajin, is the secretary of Yuequan Village. He has a good relationship with my father. Wangcai even went to his house to sleep on the mat. Their family is very easy to get along with. Why don't I go with Wangcai tomorrow? Tomorrow happens to be Saturday and let Xiaowu go too. He has to thank him in person." Zhong Cuiyu said with a smile. + +"Okay, I'll go too. I'm not familiar with Hotan Liujin, but I'm familiar with his younger brother Tian Bajin. We've eaten together several times. Speaking of your marriage to Wangcai, Tian Bajin's wife helped introduce you to Wangcai. This time I have to go and thank you personally." Grandpa Jin said with a smile while stroking his beard. He and Tian Bajin were similar in age, and because they were both outstanding people in the village, they sympathized with each other and had a very good relationship. + +"That's fine. I'll go to town to buy some gifts tomorrow, and then we'll go to Tian's house together." When Jin Wangcai heard that he was from Tian Manyin's house, he was also very happy. Brothers Tian Manyin and Tian Mantu had met him a few times. They had similar temperaments and we could get along well. + +Tian Sisi was still taking a nap in bed when she heard a commotion downstairs, which woke her up. Before she could get up, Mrs. Zhao came upstairs and called her down, "Ana, get up quickly. Your classmate's family is a guest. You can't sleep any longer and make the guests laugh." + +Classmate? Which classmates will come to play at home? Tian Sisi, whose mind was not yet fully awake, allowed Mrs. Zhao to dress for her. After she was finished wearing her clothes, she remembered and asked, "Mother, are you a classmate?" + +"It seems his name is Jin Afu. His father's name is Jin Wangcai, and his grandfather's name is Jin Manyuan. They all know your second grandfather and father." + +Tian Sisi laughed out loud, prosperous? Why does this name sound so familiar? It seems that he is one of Xingye's pets just like Xiaoqiang, right? And Jin Manyuan, how much do you want to get rich? It really made her happy. + +When Mrs. Zhao saw her granddaughter smiling, she herself was happy, "This name is a bit funny. I almost couldn't hold it in when your second grandfather introduced it to me." + +The old lady quickly tied up Tian Sisi's hair and asked her to go downstairs. Tian Sisi was wearing a dark red woolen skirt at home today. The cloth that He Xuewen bought was made by Tian Sisi and designed by Zhu Aiqing. It was still the same pair of red leather shoes. The socks are white long velvet socks that He Xuewen asked someone to buy back from Shanghai. They are a bit like the leggings of later generations. The upper body is still the light yellow sweater. This outfit will not be outdated even in later generations, let alone in the countryside in the 1970s? + +Tian Sisi yawned and walked down the stairs. Downstairs, everyone in the Jin family was sitting down chatting animatedly with the old man and Tian Bajin. Zhong Boqiang was actually there, and one of them, a woman in her forties, even called him daddy. Now Tian Sisi was shocked. Is the earth really so small?

Tian Sisi obediently called her over one by one. The Jin family all smiled and kept praising Tian Sisi for being sensible. + +Although the Jin family were mentally prepared for Tian Sisi's beauty, they were still shocked when they saw it with their own eyes today. This outfit is really more fashionable than the Shanghai lady, and more beautiful than the stars in the New Year pictures. The most important thing is how much does that outfit cost? I heard that this little girl named Tian Sisi is not a biological child of the Tian family. She is so important to someone who is not a biological child. The Tian family is really willing to give up. + +Jin Duofu's family had lunch at their grandfather Zhong Boqiang's house. Zhong Boqiang probably heard something from his daughter. At that time, he was shocked and felt very grateful. He was also very grateful to Tian Sisi. This was really a life-saving grace! So as soon as he arranged the work in the village, he hurriedly brought Jin Duofu and his family to Tian Sisi's house. + +Neither the old man nor Tian Bajin understood why Jin Manyuan's family came to the house in such great force. The confused old man was still very enthusiastic and asked Mrs. Zhao to serve tea and melon seeds and peanuts. Jin Manyuan took a sip of tea, squinted his eyes, and sighed, "What a good tea!" Jin Manyuan broke into Shanghai with a hatchet at the age of fifteen, so he had some experience. One drink of this tea made him taste extraordinary. + +"If it tastes good, I'll take some back home. This tea is Mingqian tea roasted by your sister-in-law. It's just been roasted. You just happened to catch it." The old man doesn't like to drink tea, he only likes to drink. However, Mrs. Zhao will go to the mountains every year after the Grain Rain and before the Qingming Festival to pick tea leaves and roast them herself. The quantity is not much, and the finished product is only two or three kilograms, and she sends it to her eldest son in the army for drinking. + +"Okay, you're welcome then. I really want to thank you, sister-in-law." Jin Manyuan loved tea, and he smiled and narrowed his eyes upon hearing this. + +Mrs. Zhao quickly went to the back room to make tea leaves with a smile. She was very happy that the tea she roasted was praised by the guests. The main reason was that no one in the family liked tea very much. Except for the eldest son in the army who drank some, she used the tea she roasted every year to cook tea eggs. It made her heartache when she thought about it. It was not easy for someone to like to drink the tea she roasted. How could the old lady not be happy. + +"Brother Liujin, Brother Bajin, the main reason we came here today is to say thank you. We want to thank Sisi for saving our family's life!" After a few polite words, Jin Manyuan revealed the reason for his visit. + +When Tian Sisi heard this, she immediately collapsed. She didn't expect Jin Duofu's family to be so bold. They dared to come to the door to express their thanks openly. Aren't they afraid of being exposed? What Tian Sisi didn't know was that the Jin family had certainly considered it. If it had been any other family, they would have treated it as if they didn't know. But if it had been the Tian family, of course they wouldn't have done this. The most important thing was that they completely believed that the Tian family could never be the kind of people who stabbed people in the back. + +The old man and Tian Bajin didn't understand what Jin Manyuan meant, but they didn't ask any more questions and waited quietly for Jin Manyuan to continue. Jin Manyuan briefly talked about yesterday's events in a low voice. When the word "Taiwan" was mentioned, Tian Bajin jumped up in fright and hurriedly ran to the door to look. See, he was relieved when he saw no one. He stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, returned to his seat and cursed: "Why do you become more and more confused as you live? You still dare to say this word casually. Fortunately, you are at my eldest brother's house. If it were any other place, wouldn't you want to live anymore?" + +Jin Manyuan said with a smile: "I only dare to say this because I know that I am in Brother Liujin's house. If it were in other people's homes, I would not say it. If it were anyone else, I would treat it as unknowing and shamelessly accept such a great favor. But Brother Liujin's house is different. I have to come to thank you personally, otherwise it will feel uncomfortable in my heart." + +In fact, Jin Manyuan also had selfish motives. He wanted to take this opportunity to make good friends with Tian Liujin's family. Jin Manyuan was a shrewd man, and he knew that the kind of friends he had would lead to different futures. So when he heard that the person who saved his grandson was Tian Liujin's granddaughter, his mind was opened, and he felt that this was a good opportunity to establish a relationship with Tian Liujin's family. + +Of course, this kind of selfishness is understandable and does not have any malicious purpose. It can only be said that Jin Manyuan is quite good at scheming, but his scheming is different from Zhong Liangcai's. It will not harm the interests of others, nor will it arouse other people's resentment. This kind of thinking of Jin WangCai understands. As a son trained by Jin Manyuan, Jin Wangcai also agrees with his father's approach. He has to consider the future of his children. If he can get to know some people with backgrounds, it will definitely be helpful to their future prospects. + +The old man was quite surprised when he heard Jin Manyuan's story. He didn't expect that A'nan would do such a good thing today. It seems that A'nan is really a person with deep blessings. People around her will benefit more or less. The old man looked at Tian Sisi who was confused (all pretending) with doting. This silly girl, she still doesn't know what's going on? + +"It's not worth coming here to say thank you. My grandma is just a coincidence. But your boy can't talk nonsense anymore. At this time, it's better to talk less." The old man shook his head and sighed. Jin Bianfu, who was standing next to Jin Manyuan, looked ashamed. + +"Yeah, it's better to do more and say less at this time. No matter what, we have to thank Sisi, otherwise our whole family will have to pay for it." Jin Manyuan is truly grateful. His sincerity can also be felt by the old man and Tian Sisi. Therefore, they both have a good impression of the Jin family and his son. The character of those who know how to be grateful will not be any worse? + +Since Jin Duofu saw Tian Sisi in a skirt, he lowered his head shyly and said nothing. He thought that Tian Sisi at school was pretty enough, but he didn't expect that Tian Sisi at home was dressed even more beautifully, like a movie star. The young boy who had just entered his hazy adolescence was deeply shy. + +Jin Manyuan originally planned to say goodbye and go home after saying thank you, but the old man strongly persuaded them to stay for dinner, and asked Zhong Boqiang and Zhong Fugao to come for dinner in the evening. + +In the afternoon, Tian Bajin and Zhong Boqiang both went to work. Tian Sisi took Jin Duofu to play with He Chengsi, while Jin Manyuan stayed at home and chatted with the old man. The two got along quite well, and it felt like they had met at a late date. Jin Wangcai would chat with him from time to time. + +Zhong Cuiyu couldn't sit still and helped Mrs. Zhao work and chat together. Mrs. Zhao was picking soybeans. She planned to pick a few kilograms of soybeans to make tofu. The tofu she made last time was all used up when wrapping Qingming fruit. She had to prepare some at home. Tofu is a good thing. It can be used whether you are eating at home or cooking for guests. Taking action, Zhong Cuiyu saw that a bag of soybeans carried by Mrs. Zhao contained thirty or forty kilograms of soybeans, and she was secretly frightened by the Tian family's financial resources. Her family's life was pretty good, but she couldn't afford twenty or thirty soybeans at once. Looking at the Jin family's furnishings, which one was not from Shanghai? + +After secretly looking at it, Zhong Cuiyu had to calm down. After she heard her son talk about what happened at school yesterday, she had the idea of marrying the Tian family. In Zhong Cuiyu's heart, she felt that given her own conditions, she was worthy of Tian Sisi, a girl she picked up. Of course, Zhong Cuiyu's main purpose wasShe still took a fancy to the power of the Tian family in the army, thinking that after getting married, she could support her children. However, when she saw the behavior of the Tian family today, and looked at Tian Sisi's dress and how much the Tian family doted on Tian Sisi, Zhong Cuiyu dared not mention it, so she had to suppress her thoughts and think about plotting her plans later. + +Tian Sisi walked out of the yard and let out a long sigh. Jin Duofu's mother looked at her in a strange way, which made her uncomfortable at all, as if she was looking at a product. However, Jin Duofu's grandfather and father were not bad.

For the first time, the little boy felt that he was so stupid and made a fool of himself in front of a beautiful girl. + +The first floor of He Xuewen's new home has been built, and the second floor is now being built.

He Chengsi greeted Tian Sisi with a smile. + +"Sister Sisi, have you had a nap? Why don't you sleep a little longer?" + +Tian Qinghua got up from the ground and spat out the mud in his mouth. This brat actually dared to throw me. He rushed up with a roar and pushed He Chengsi to the ground. The two of them rolled up the hillside. Tian Sisi giggled and yelled "Brother He, come on" and then "Brother Qinghua, come on", in order to prevent chaos in the world. + +Everyone was about the same age, and they were all noisy. After a while, Jin Duofu, who was still a little shy, got into trouble with them. Tian Sisi didn't like games like climbing trees and grabbing bird eggs at all. After watching for a while, he went to find He Xuewen. He Xuewen had just come back from town. He bought a new bicycle a few days ago, which made it much more convenient to go shopping in town. + +When He Xuewen saw his baby girl wearing the outfit he bought, she was as beautiful as a little angel. He narrowed his eyes with joy. He took out a White Rabbit toffee from his coat pocket, peeled off the wrapper and stuffed it into Tian Sisi's mouth. Tian Sisi ate the toffee in one gulp. Only the White Rabbit could eat the candies in the 1970s. Tian Sisi didn't even want to take a look at other candies such as fruit candies. + +That's why He Xuewen went out of his way to buy a lot of White Rabbit toffee. He would put a few toffee in his coat pocket every day and feed his baby daughter when he saw her. Tian Manyin, who had seen her several times, died of acidosis. He then asked Tian Mantong to buy a White Rabbit for him and follow He Xuewen's example. Tian Sisi fed the white rabbit, which made Tian Sisi's mouth smell like milk during this period. However, the white rabbit now tastes really good. She can still accept a few more. The most important thing is that she enjoys the feeling of being fed by her two fathers, who are full of love. + +"Grandma, next time grandma will buy you a piece of red plaid cloth and make it into a skirt like this. Grandma will definitely look good in it." + +"Okay, I like to wear skirts the most, and I also want those black woolen socks. Dad will also buy some for me. Dad, do you have enough money? If not, I have a lot here." After getting along with each other for this period of time, Tian Sisi was able to call her daddy without any grudges. + +Tian Sisi was not lying when she said she had a lot of money. During this time, the money from selling wine plus the cost of food, Tian Sisi just bought a camera, and kept the rest without spending anything. After all, Tian Sisi had a savings of one or two thousand. In this era, it is said thatShe seemed quite rich, and the old man also showed her the dowry money that Honda Mantong had saved for Tian Sisi. There was already a deposit of more than three thousand in it. The old man did not give the passbook to Tian Sisi, saying that he would keep it for her first and give it to his granddaughter when she is older. + +Tian Sisi was very touched by the love and care shown by Tian Mantong, Tian Manyin and the old man. She did not expect that they could be so protective of her, who was not related by blood, even better than her own. Tian Sisi made up her mind to brew more good wine to nourish her body, so that those who love her can live a long and healthy life. This is the only way she can think of to repay her. + +"My father has enough money, and my grandmother's money will be collected by myself. The Tian family has been so kind to you, and we have to repay them well. Then my father will go to Suicheng to get some more cloth and give it to the Tian family to make clothes." Tian Sisi also learned this from HeWen said that he did not expect that the old man Tian Mantong would be so doting on his daughter, and he was very moved in his heart. If he was just thinking of repaying his kindness before, now he really wants to have a deep relationship with the Tian family. + +"Okay, buy it with my money." Tian Sisi took out the money from the space, but was stopped by He Xuewen. + +"My father is rich, and besides, my father's money belongs to you." He Xuewen is really not short of money. He has earned a lot of money in these years. He has several bankbooks, which is enough for him to build a prosperous life for his daughter. Besides, he just went to Suicheng a few days ago and made another fortune. He is really not short of money. + +The most important thing is that He Xuewen has confidence. The He family is a family that has been passed down for hundreds of years. The father and daughter cannot use up the wealth in the He family's treasure house even if they spend ten lifetimes. Those things taken by the rebels are just deliberately placed outside to attract enemies. It's just what people pay attention to. The real wealth of the He family is in the treasure house, and only he knows the location of the treasure house. When he has to take Ah Nan there, he will take out all the things inside and put them in Ah Nan's blessed land. This will be safer. + +He Xuewen has been engaged in reselling business for the past ten years, that is, selling cheap things from place A to place B. Of course, this kind of business is very dangerous in this era, but driven by high profits, there are still many people doing this kind of business, and they are all people with backgrounds. Therefore, He Xuewen relied on this business, not only made money, but also made many connections. + +Therefore, although his enemies knew that He Xuewen was not dead, they did not dare to blatantly attack him. After He Xuewen gave the good wine brewed by Tian Sisi to those high-ranking people, his network of contacts became wider, and making money can be said to be a very simple matter. + +Tian Sisi didn't insist. Seeing that He Xuewen's face was much rosier, she asked, "Dad, have you finished drinking the lung-nourishing wine? How about I bring you two more bottles tonight." + +"Also, wait until dad has finished drinking before asking grandma for it. Grandma must be careful with the wine mixed with agar liquid. Do not give it to outsiders except for drinking it at home, you know?" He Xuewen warned again. The curative effect of this lung-nourishing wine was amazing. His body was getting better day by day, and he would soon become like a normal person. + +"I know, I just gave it to my grandpa and uncle to drink. Grandpa told them that it was medicinal wine made from the medicinal materials he got. Second grandpa and his family also thought so. No one would know." Tian Sisi said with a smile. + +He Xuewen reached out and patted Tian Sisi on the head, letting her and Cheng Si play with them. Before leaving, he couldn't help but stuff a toffee into his daughter's mouth because his hands were itchy. Tian Sisi simply lay on him and took out all the toffees from his jacket pocket, planning to share them with Donghua and the others later. He Xuewen smiled and allowed his daughter to take out the candies on him, enjoying the interaction between father and daughter. + +After Tian Sisi left, one of the craftsmen said with a smile: "Comrade He, you and Tian family's grandma are really close. Look, grandma is not an outsider with you." + +"I really like this little girl A'nan. She is beautiful and smart. If I had such a good daughter, I would laugh out loud in my dreams." He Xuewen took out a bottle of Xin'anjiang and handed it to the master. + +The master happily took the cigarette and clamped it to his ear. Comrade He was so generous with his actions. Every time he pulled out the cigarette, it was Xin'anjiang, Liqun, or Xihu. He smoked more high-end cigarettes during this period than he had smoked in the previous decades combined. He was really beautiful. + +"If Comrade He really likes Grandma, just accept and have a kiss. Grandma can call you Dad from now on." The master also heard He Xuewen talk about the disappearance of his own daughter, so he came up with this statement. + +He Xuewen's eyes lit up, yes, why didn't he think of this good idea? You can't admit the kiss, but you can admit the fuck. The excited He Xuewen threw most of the bag of Xinanjiang in his hand to the master, and ran to find Zhong Fugao happily. He had to find the right person to accept the kiss, and Zhong Fugao was the most suitable candidate. + +In the evening, the Tian family gathered together, and Tian Mantong also came.

Why were there so many people in the house? The old man stood up and introduced his youngest son to everyone, and asked Tian Mantong to wash his hands and go to the table to eat. He Xuewen sat aside and gave up a piece of land to Tian Mantong. He Xuewen was truly grateful to this person who truly loved his daughter and had no selfish intentions. + +Tian Mantong and He Xuewen met several times, and the two got on well. Although Tian Mantong didn't know the Jin family, he still greeted them with a smile. Tian Sisi hurriedly got the bowls and chopsticks for his uncle and poured him wine. While busy, Tian Mantong looked at his niece with a smile, put the things in his hands behind his back, and waited for Tian Sisi to ask for it. + +"Brother-in-law, what good things did you bring me?" Tian Sisi had actually seen the thing in Tian Mantong's hand a long time ago. It was a boxy black plastic case. At first glance, she knew it was a camera. But now that she was just a child, of course she could only pretend not to know. + +"Of course it's what you want most." Tian Mantong raised the camera and pointed it at Tian Sisi. + +"Is it a camera? Uncle, you are so kind. I like you so much." Tian Sisi was really excited. She had been thinking about it for a month. Now she could finally take photos of those beautiful scenery. + +Tian Mantong handed the camera in his hand to Tian Sisi and said, "Be careful. Don't touch it. This thing costs more than a hundred. Uncle, I also bought you a lot of film and batteries. These things are not sold in our town. If you want to buy them, you can only go to Suicheng. You have to save some." + +"I got it, uncle, I'll take the first photo of him, and I'll make sure the photo looks better than Yu Yang (the male movie star at the time)." Tian Sisi opened the camera case, which contained an old-fashioned Seagull brand single-lens camera. It was already very advanced at the time. + +Except for the old man, everyone here has seen this rare thing for the first time. Many rural people have never taken a picture in their lives, so they don’t know what a camera is. The Jin family goes to the photo studio in the town to take pictures every year. This is already rare in the village. Now that the Tian family has bought a little girl a camera worth more than 100 yuan, her jaw dropped. Isn’t this too pampering? More than a hundred. You can’t buy a camera even if you earn for a year? + +Others gathered around to look at the curiosity, not even daring to touch it. Tian Bajin disagreed, "Man Tong. Why did you buy such an expensive thing for grandma? Isn't this a waste of money? What's the use of this thing?" + +"Second Grandpa, this is not a toy. This is a camera that can take pictures. Put your whole person on a piece of paper, and then I will take some pictures of you, Second Grandpa. You will definitely not say it is a waste of money." Tian Sisi retorted loudly to Tian Bajin. + +"What your second grandfather said is wrong. You are wasting money. Your father has spoiled you." Zhu Aiqing was heartbroken. She just lost more than a hundred yuan. She is really a little loser. + +Tian Sisi pouted and stopped arguing with Zhu Aiqing. When it came to taking pictures, her mother would definitely not be able to resist the temptation. Tian Sisi had played with cameras for a while in her previous life, and knew that her uncle bought the most popular Seagull SLR at this time. This kind of camera is faster to get started with, does not require much skills, and can be used by ordinary people. It suits Tian Sisi's wishes, and she does not want to become a photographer. + +Tian Mantong bought two kinds of film, one is the fragmentary film left after the film factory made the film, and the other is the new film produced in the Soviet Union. At this time, China cannot produce film itself, and they are all imported from the Soviet Union. The fragmentary film only needs oneIt cost 5 yuan per roll, and a new one cost five yuan a roll. Tian Mantong bought five rolls of scraps and one new roll. Seeing Tian Sisi playing with the film, he said to the side: "You can buy three old rolls of this new one. My friend said that the photos are about the same." + +Tian Sisi nodded. She skillfully loaded the battery and film. He Xuewen originally wanted to teach his daughter, but when he saw that his daughter's movements were very skillful, as if she had played with a camera many times, he didn't think much about it. He thought it must be because of his precious daughter's deep blessings. Just like the ancestor of the He family, he could do everything with ease. + +"Anan, do you know how to use this thing?" Tian Xinhua asked with a smile. + +"Of course I can use it. I am such a smart person. I know how to use this camera as soon as I touch it." Tian Sisi replied arrogantly. + +The old man invited everyone to eat vegetables and drink. It was night and the light was too dark. Tian Sisi originally wanted to take pictures of her family, but she had to give up. She sat back next to the old man again and coquettishly asked the old man to pick up food for her. Of course, the old man enjoyed it. He drank a sip of wine from time to time, took a bite of food for himself, and picked up a few chopsticks for his granddaughter. + +The Tian family was not surprised, but the Jin family was extremely surprised. They had a higher understanding of Tian Sisi's favor, and felt that this trip was the right one. + +Tian Sisi got up early the next morning and put on her clothes neatly. She still had the same outfit as yesterday. The sun had risen outside and the weather was very good, perfect for taking pictures. Tian Mantong had also just gotten up. After Tian Sisi asked Tian Mantong to wash up, she took Tian Manyin's Chinese tunic suit and put it on for him. She suddenly felt more energetic. + +Tian Mantong stood in the yard with his hands on his hips, looking at Tian Sisi with a smile. After Tian Sisi got the focus right, she shouted one, two, three, and pressed the shutter. Her virgin photo was finally completed. Tian Mantong came over and said with a smile, "I want to make my brother-in-law look better." + +"My brother-in-law is good-looking to begin with. I will definitely look better in my photo." Tian Sisi didn't lie either. Tian Mantong was tall and tall, with the most popular Chinese character face nowadays. He had a majestic appearance and was quite photogenic. + +Tian Sisi then took photos of the old man, Mrs. Zhao, Tian Manyin, Zhu Aiqing, and everyone else. At noon, she also took photos of Tian Bajin’s house. Soon the roll of film was used up. To develop the photos, she had to go to a photo studio in the town. It cost ten cents to wash each photo. The cost of developing photos plus film was quite expensive, so at this time, cameras were an activity that only rich people could afford. Tian Sisi made up her mind to ask her uncle to buy some potions and photo paper next time and wash them by herself, so as to save some money. + +When the developed photos were brought back from the photo studio, all the Tian family members rushed over to watch the fun in the evening. Each one of them held the photos with great curiosity. Even Zhu Aiqing, who objected the most, smiled and looked at his jade photos for a long time and refused to let go. + +"Mom, look how beautiful your photos look. I will take more photos in the future and cover them all on the walls of our house." + +Zhu Aiqing rolled her eyes at Tian Sisi, but did not scold her as usual. She could tell that she was in a good mood. Tian Sisi happily exchanged proud looks with Tian Manyin. + +Tian Sisi's photography skills are good, and she captured the charm of the Tian family very well. He Xuewen felt particularly beautiful after seeing it. In his opinion, his daughter has inherited his talent for photography. He Xuewen was also a bourgeoisie when he was young. He liked to engage in some artistic activities such as photography, painting, piano, etc. Among them, photography is the most advanced. This is why he believed that his daughter's ability to take such a good picture for the first time must be due to genetic reasons. + +At that moment, He Xuewen patted his chest and said that he would pay for all the expenses for Tian Sisi's photography from now on. How could Tian Manyin agree? How could his daughter let outsiders spend money if she wanted to take photos? Isn't this trying to interfere with him? So he firmly disagreed, saying that his family was rich and could not let you, an outsider, spend money for his daughter. He Xuewen was discouraged when he heard the word "outsider". Alas, the name is unfair and the words are not right! Zhong Fugao must be asked to hurry up and deal with the matter of acknowledging the marriage. + +He Xuewen's dejected look made Tian Manyin feel very comfortable. During this period, the depression caused by He Xuewen also dissipated a lot. He happily took a sip of wine from the wine glass and put some peanuts in it, feeling very proud. + +However, Tian Manyin's elation did not last for a few days. After dinner the next day, Zhong Fugao came to the door and told He Xuewen that he wanted to recognize their marriage. He also told the tragic story of He Xuewen's lost biological daughter, which made Mrs. Zhao and Zhu Aiqing shed tears. Women sympathized with the weak. In addition, the person was such a lovely and handsome man, He Xuewen, so their hearts were leaning towards He Xuewen.(To be continued.) \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/09/eng_cont/i_0079.txt b/09/eng_cont/i_0079.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..be1e01f472d0eec473f2a5c2bf59ebf530e8b092 --- /dev/null +++ b/09/eng_cont/i_0079.txt @@ -0,0 +1,57 @@ +Chapter 79 Promise. + +The old man has been smoking the hookah silently, but his heart is full of emotions.

He is so good to A-nan, and now he is rushing to recognize his father. He wants to take care of his daughter nearby! But why didn't he recognize his grandmother? The old man didn't understand. He thought for a moment and said to Zhong Fugao: + +"Fu Gao, ask He Xuewen to come to me and tell me that I have a few questions to ask him. If his answer satisfies me, then the marriage will be settled." + +Tian Manyin was anxious. This was not the time for marriage. He Xuewen was going to fight for his daughter.

Tian Manyin had to swallow the words that had rushed to his throat. + +After He Xuewen received the message from Zhong Fugao, his heart suddenly trembled. Could it be that the old man had guessed something? He calmed down and thought about it, and made up his mind to wait and see, and if it didn't work, he would tell the truth to the old man and exchange his sincerity for sincerity. He believed that the old man's love for his grandmother would not put her in danger. + +The old man brought He Xuewen into the room and asked everyone else to wait outside. Although Tian Sisi remained normal on her face, she was worried in her heart, fearing that He Xuewen might have made the old man unhappy. + +After He Xuewen walked into the back room, the old man motioned for him to sit down. After staring at him for a long time, He Xuewen said with a smile: "Mr. Tian, what do you always want to ask me? I will tell you everything I know. I will never hide anything from you." + +The old man smiled and asked suddenly: "Your lost biological daughter is Grandma, right?" + +Although He Xuewen was mentally prepared, he was still startled by the old man's sudden attack. His expression changed, and he gathered his thoughts to think of how to answer. The old man spoke again, "You don't have to think of excuses. I'm sure that A'nan is definitely your biological daughter. No one in the world would be so kind to a stranger for no reason. I should have suspected it a long time ago. He Xuewen, tell me what you planned." + +He Xuewen smiled bitterly, "Mr. Tian, let me tell you the truth. A'nan is indeed my biological daughter who has been separated for ten years. She looks very similar to my wife. When I first saw her in the town, I was suspicious, so I followed her to Yuequan Village. Later, when I saw the ancestral silver bracelet of our He family on A'nan's wrist, I was 100% sure that A'nan was my biological daughter." + +"I have been looking for A-nan for ten years. During these ten years, I have dreamed about A-nan every day, and my heart aches when I think about it. She looks exactly like in my dream. You don't know how happy I was when I found A-nan. Even if I were asked to die immediately, I would have no complaints." He Xuewen said with red eyes. + +"Then why didn't you recognize A'nan and came up with the excuse of confessing to marry her?" Of course the old man saw He Xuewen's true feelings, but he still had to figure out He Xuewen's intentions. + +"I don't dare to recognize my grandmother. The enemies of my He family are still in power now. They won't give up until they get our He family's treasure house. I can't put my grandmother in danger, but I also want to love my grandmother openly, so I came up with this method of recognizing my father-in-law." He Xuewen told the old man about the experiences of their He family. + +"Don't worry, old man. I have absolutely no intention of competing with you for my daughter. I am sincerely grateful to your family for taking care of and loving my daughter. I just want to be by my daughter's side in the past few years and watch her grow up. This way I will be satisfied." He Xuewen's attitude was sincere and his words were sincere. + +The old man also didn’t expect that He Xuewen was the heir to the famous Hejia Wine in China. Hejia Wine was so prosperous back then, but he didn’t expect that now it would cause his wife and children to be separated, and his family to be destroyed. Alas, the world is so harmful! Thinking about it, He Xuewen had to go through all kinds of difficulties to save his life. The old man felt very sympathetic to He Xuewen's experience. He told the story of when Tian Mantong met A-nan, and took out Mu Xiulian's jade bracelet and A-nan's blanket. + +When He Xuewen saw the green bracelet, he couldn't help but shed tears. This bracelet was also an heirloom of the He family and was passed down to the head wife of the He family. Although he and Mu Xiulian had an arranged marriage by their parents, their relationship was still very good. He felt very uncomfortable when he thought about his wife's life and death. Judging from the situation at that time, it seemed that his wife would most likely fall into the hands of those people. He couldn't even think about what would happen to his wife, and he felt as if he was being stabbed. + +"Don't feel bad, maybe your wife has another destiny, and your family will be reunited one day." The old man comforted He Xuewen, but this comfort was so pale that even he didn't believe it. + +He Xuewen nodded. Although he knew that this possibility was slim, he still had a glimmer of hope. The old man took a few more puffs of cigarette, pondered for a while, and then said: "You can come to our door tomorrow to recognize your marriage. From now on, you will associate with our family as a godmother, but you can no longer tell other people about your true identity. I only need to know this." + +He Xuewen was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly. The old man thought for a while and then said, "Don't say anything to grandma. Just let her grow up happily as a little girl. Don't let her have any burdens in her heart." + +"I know, I won't say it." He Xuewen felt a little guilty. He didn't dare to say that he and A'nan had known each other for a long time. He felt that it was wrong to deceive such a respectable old man. + +After the old man went out, he announced his decision to recognize his relatives. Everyone was happy except Tian Manyin. However, the minority obeyed the majority. No matter how unhappy he was, he had no choice but to go with the flow. The recognition ceremony the next night was very lively. The Tian family members all came to congratulate him. Xuewen bought a lot of vegetables (actually they were all brought out by Tian Sisi from the shopping mall), and called Zhong Boqiang's family and Tian Bajin's family to have dinner. They all joined in the fun. He Xuewen originally wanted to invite the whole village to dinner, but the old man glared at him. + +"Don't you think you're not in the limelight enough? In this world, if you can keep a low profile, just try to be as low-key as possible and don't draw attention to yourself." + +He Xuewen gave up, but he still didn't want to wrong his daughter. The change fee for Tian Sisi was a very thick red envelope, which made everyone jealous. This godfather is really rich! A-nan is such a lucky little girl. If she just chooses a godfather, he will be so rich and he still loves her so much. + +He Chengsi was very happy and deliberately ran to the sulky Tian Xinhua and provoked: "From now on, Sisi will be my sister, hum!" + +Tian Xinhua glanced at him sideways and replied lazily: "You are your god-sister, and I am your dear one. Can you compare with your dear sister?" + +He Chengsi didn't care, he didn't care what he was doing, as long as it was his sister, then he could confidently call Sisi sister from now on, what else do you think, you pretty boy? + +Since they got married, He Xuewen's family has had more frequent interactions with the Tian family. As soon as his new house was completed, he invited the whole village to have a meal, and he officially settled in Yuequan Village. He Xuewen's new house was elegantly decorated by him. He planted a lot of flowers and plants in the front yard at Tian Sisi's request. Vegetables are grown in the Tian family's yard.

He Xuewen had never been able to do these farm chores, and Tian Sisi was even less likely to do so. He Chengsi could only do it. + +He Xuewen left the best room on the second floor to Tian Sisi. He personally decorated the room's quilt cover, curtains, etc. in pink, making it look like a princess room. Tian Sisi fell in love with it at first sight.

There is no need to think about saving money. With such a large backup supply, Tian Sisi's coke is broken. On weekends, she takes pictures of her family or herself. Tian Xinhua and He Chengsi have long been trained by her to be photography masters. Therefore, the most beautiful photos of Tian Sisi are hung on the walls of the Tian family.

Anyway, she now knew Tang Qiubai's true face, and at worst she would stay away from him in the future.

The old man probably disappeared during the ten years of turmoil, and she had never heard of Tang Tieshan coming to Yuequan Village to recuperate in her previous life.

It is probably for this reason that the old man married his beloved granddaughter to Tang Qiubai in his previous life. + +At this moment, Tang Qiubai looked at the people in the room with vigilance, as if he was suspicious of everything around him. However, he was very filial to his grandfather, patting Tang Tieshan's back from time to time to slow down his cough. His thin body was tightly pressed against Tang Tieshan, his whole body was straight, and he looked at the door from time to time, as if he was ready to evacuate at any time.

The tragic death of Tang Tieshan and his wife caused his psychological distortion. He felt that everyone in the world had failed him. Even he had resentment towards the old man. He felt that if the old man had come forward earlier, his grandparents might not have died so early. + +In the previous life, the original owner also had certain responsibilities. He only dressed up and played every day. All the affairs in the company were managed by Tang Qiubai and his best friend Zhong Yuying. The man and the woman got along with each other day and night. It would be weird not to hook up and become a traitor. Compared to the original owner who only knew how to have fun, the capable and beautiful Zhong Yuying was of course more to Tang Qiubai's liking, but Tang Qiubai still had some conscience and gave the original owner a large sum of money. But after Zhong Yuying changed hands. The money has shrunk significantly. Not enough for the original owner. + +After a day of observation, Tang Qiubai had eliminated most of his wariness towards the Tian family and was mostly relieved. Although Tang Tieshan had greeted him early in the morning and said that this was the home of a life and death brother of his, so he could rest assured, but Tang Qiubai, who had experienced too many betrayals, still couldn't believe it easily. In the past few years, he had seen too many people betrayed by so-called brothers, and everyone had a life worse than death. Even his own parents, uncles and aunts had also betrayed his grandfather. + +Tang Tieshan was assigned to Yuequan Village for labor reform. After the old man's activities, the only person who came to Yuequan Village for reform this time was Tang Tieshan. Originally, it was not that easy to accomplish, but because Tang Tieshan was almost killed in a fight in Beijing this time, the rebels saw this bad old man. He was really a tough guy, and if he continued to fight, he would die. Although they didn't care about Tang Tieshan's life or death, someone from above said they wanted to save the life of this dead old man, so they took advantage of the situation and sent Tang Tieshan to Yuequan Village. Whether he lived or died depended on his own destiny. + +For dinner in the evening, the old man invited He Xuewen and his son. During this time, He Xuewen and his son often came to Tian's house for dinner. The main reason was that He Xuewen disliked the food cooked by his son and often found excuses to come to Tian's house to eat. Mrs. Zhao and Zhu Aiqing were very fond of He Xuewen. Every time He Xuewen came to dinner, he was very polite and entertained her with good wine and food, which made Tian Manyin jealous. + +The old man and Tang Tieshan sat together, crying and laughing for a while. They were very excited. The old man took a sip of wine and sighed: "I don't know what happened to Lao Zhang, Daniu, and Er Gouzi. I have been asking here and there for all these years, but there is no news about them. I have only found out about your whereabouts. Alas, I am so incompetent!" + +"Old Tian, don't say that. If it hadn't been for your rescue, I don't know which mass grave my old bones would have been thrown into. I don't have any news about him, Lao Zhang, but I do know about Danniu and Ergouzi. Both of them were sent to the northwest, but their lives are better than mine. With their children by their side, I think their lives will be better than mine. Alas, after all, among us brothers, you are the one who sees it most clearly!" + +Tang Tieshan's expression ended. He really regretted that he had not followed the old man to withdraw, and now he had ended up like this. + +"Old Tang, please stop laughing at me. I, Tian Liujin, am just a deserter." The old man smiled bitterly and shook his head. + +"How can you be a deserter, Lao Tian? ** said it right, keep the green hills and don't worry about running out of firewood. You are leaving a way out. If you didn't have this way out, where would I, an old man, go to recuperate?" + +"Well said, this is your retreat. Next time I will find a way to find out about Lao Zhang. If he is having a hard time, I will bring him over to keep us company. I will also contact Daniel and Ergouzi and send them something." After Tang Tieshan's enlightenment, the old man became much more cheerful, and the knot that had been in his heart was finally opened. + +"Grandpa, you have already had three glasses of wine. You can't drink any more. The same goes for Grandpa Tang. You can't drink any more." Tian Sisi walked up to the old man and took away their glasses. The two of them drank endlessly. + +The old man slapped his mouth in regret. He thought he could make an exception and drink a few more drinks today, "Housekeeper, I listen to you, grandpa won't drink anymore." + +Tang Tieshan also obeyed and stopped drinking. He smiled and said to the old man: "Old Tian, your life is really nourishing. With such a little granddaughter taking care of you every day, even the gods are not as comfortable as you." + +"That's right, how can any god have a granddaughter as good as my grandma?" + +Tang Tieshan was originally going to work with the villagers, but the secretary and mayor of Yuequan Village were all his own people, and the people above him got the information and checked it very easily. Tang Tieshan was lazy openly. He wanted to go to work himself, for fear of causing trouble to the old man, but the old man insisted on letting him recover before going to work. In this territory of Yuequan Village, he can still make the decision. + +Tang Qiubai was arranged to go to Luoling Primary School to study in the fourth grade in the same class as Tian Qinghua. From then on, there was one more person in Tian Sisi's school team every day. After these days, Tang Qiubai had completely let down his guard and his expression became more relaxed. Now Tang Qiubai has not experienced the shock of his grandfather's tragic death. He didn't have so much resentment, so he was still a sunny young boy. Moreover, when Tang Tieshan was not in trouble, he was also the noisy and noisy child king in the compound. Therefore, Tang Qiubai, who was relaxed, quickly integrated into the life of Yuequan Village. He played well with Tian Qinghua and He Chengsi, and within a few days they became brothers. + +Because Tang Qiubai is older and more mature than ordinary children, and he plays more tricks, he has become the leader of this group of people. Donghua He Chengsi and others come home all day and say, "Brother Qiubai, what did you teach us to do?"", or "Brother Qiubai is so good at slingshots." Tian Sisi was annoyed to death, but she couldn't say directly that she didn't like Tang Qiubai. After all, Tang Qiubai hadn't done anything to regret her yet. She had no choice but to minimize her meetings with Tang Qiubai. + +No one in the family noticed Tian Sisi's hidden thoughts, except for two people, Tian Xinhua and Jianguo. Tian Xinhua played with Tian Sisi since he was a child. It can be said that he is the person who knows Tian Sisi best in the Tian family. Therefore, although Tian Sisi hid it well, Tian Xinhua still noticed her dislike for Tang Qiubai, while Jianguo was able to sense his cousin's dislike of Tang Qiubai because of his sensitive personality. + +Therefore, although Tian Xinhua and Jianguo didn't understand why Tian Sisi didn't like Tang Qiubai, they both invariably reduced their contact with Tang Qiubai. Although everyone was harmonious on the surface, the sensitive Tang Qiubai still felt that the alienation of Tian Sisi and three people from him aroused his competitiveness. + +Ever since he was little, he has been the leader of the children in the compound. Which child of the same age would not obey his orders? But in this small mountain village, these rural people dare to look down on him like this? This made Tang Qiubai feel a little angry. Tang Qiubai had always been arrogant. Although he pretended to be gentle and gentle on the surface, he was very arrogant in his heart. + +Even though he was living under someone else's roof and was protected by the Tian family, he still looked down on the Tian family from the bottom of his heart, feeling that they were all a group of ignorant rural people. However, he hid this contempt very well, and even Tian Sisi, who hated him, did not notice it. It had to be said that Tang Qiubai and Zhong Yuying hooked up in the previous life. It was really not an exception. They were the same type of people.(To be continued.) + +ps: Yesterday, many readers supported Lao Yang and voted for many monthly votes.

No matter how much the old man persuades him, the old man sees that it is not a problem for him to be alone at home, so he goes to work in the fields with his old brother. Tian Bajin and Zhong Boqiang have no choice but to assign some of the easiest jobs for them to do, as if they are letting them pass the time. + +The weather was getting hotter day by day, and Tian Sisi had already put on unlined clothes. He Xuewen bought a lot of beautiful cloth for her daughter. Tian Sisi didn't like the popular Doliang flower cloth at all. She asked He Xuewen to buy breathable cotton and linen cloth for herself. In fact, she had cloth in her own shopping mall. Although not much, they were all silk and cotton and linen with good materials. However, the printing technology of those cloths was too advanced. If they were taken out, they would definitely attract the attention of the villagers.

Although it doesn't wrinkle, it is not breathable and really uncomfortable to wear. The cloth he bought is of good quality, and the patterns are very beautiful small floral or plaid patterns. It looks good whether it is made of clothes or skirts. + +As for buying really good cloth for the Tian family, it's not that He Xuewen didn't want to buy cotton and silk for them, it's just that in the hearts of ordinary people nowadays, really good cloth is king. If you give them other cloths, it will make people unhappy. Giving them really good cloth is the most correct choice. That's why the women of the Tian family were so happy when they saw the really good cloth that He Xuewen sent. I can make a few more shirts to wear this summer. + +He Xuewen also specially bought a clothing cutting book from Shanghai. It has many samples of women's clothing styles and tells you how to cut and sew. Zhu Aiqing likes this book very much. She is a clever and handy woman. Although she has never formally learned tailoring, she can understand it after studying it for a few days. The first time she started using it was to make a skirt for her daughter. + +Tian Sisi picked a tutu skirt from the book, which was knee-length. There are many pleats at the waist. It looks very beautiful, with a beautiful bow on the neckline, and the sleeves are princess sleeves, a bit like the lace skirts worn by later Barbie dolls. Very princess style. Tian Sisi, who is pretending to be young, vows to carry out the princess style to the end. + +Tian Sisi chose pink floral cotton with a white background. It only took Zhu Aiqing one night to make it. There is a short zipper on the back of the skirt, which can be zipped up with just a hand.

She hugged Tian Sisi and refused to let go, asking He Xuewen to quickly take pictures of his granddaughter. + +The old man was even funnier. He took the clothing book, put on his reading glasses, and planned to pick some more dresses for his granddaughter, so that his granddaughter could be dressed up every day, which made him feel comfortable. He Xuewen was also very happy, and he felt very happy that he could dress up his daughter with his own hands. + +Seeing the bare half of Tian Sisi's exposed legs, He Xuewen patted his head and asked He Chengsi to go home quickly and get his bag. He brought several pairs of thin stockings back from Shanghai this time. It was still early May and the weather was a bit cold in the morning and evening.

Although the Tian family is very kind to him and his grandfather now, Tang Qiubai, who always likes to think about things in the future, wants to make his life with his grandfather better in the Tian family.

Although she is very polite on the face, how can the sensitive Tang Qiubai not notice Tian Sisi's alienation, which makes him very frustrated. Of course, he will not think that it is because Tian Sisi doesn't like him. In his opinion, it should beThe reason why Tian Xinhua or Shou Jianguo was confused was that Tang Qiubai was even more dissatisfied with these two people. However, he was a well-connected person. Even if he was dissatisfied, he did not show it.

Tian Sisi changed into a new skirt and acted coquettishly towards Zhu Aiqing. + +He Xuewen and the old man agreed to take Tian Sisi and several children to Shanghai during the summer vacation. Of course, the old man had no problem. In his opinion, young people need to go out more to broaden their horizons and increase their knowledge.

At this time, the wild strawberries on the mountain have begun to mature. There are also many tiger bamboo shoots on the mountain, which are thin bamboo shoots that stand upright like brushes.

They sent the dried bamboo shoots to him, charging him as much as he could, and the price was still two cents more expensive than at the purchasing station.

Sometimes when the troupe came to the village to sing and there was a shortage of people, the villagers would recommend Jin Wanming as the top performer. Not to mention, although Jin Wanming had no professional training, she could act like anything. According to today's terms, she was born to eat. This is a bowl of rice, but in this era, the stomach is not full, and there is no leisure to invite the theater troupe to do the scenes, so the theater troupe can't have enough to eat. Helpless Jin Wanming had to give up this hobby, get married and have children, and become an ordinary peasant woman. + +Some other village women who were pulling bamboo shoots heard Jin Wanming's humming, and they all cheered loudly, "My daughter-in-law Manmu, don't sing dully, give us a piece of "The King's Tiger Robbery"." + +"What's so good about Wang Laohu's robbery of a bride?

I will never be able to eat it." + +Jin Wanming sang with a beautiful voice and a brisk tone, perfectly portraying the playfulness and aggressiveness of the nine-pound girl. The people around her applauded and asked Jin Wanming to play another part. Jin Wanming was in a very good mood and was not coquettish at the moment, so she played another part.

A basket of bright red grandpa was lying on the green leaves, like red agate. Tian Sisi smiled with satisfaction. She picked a few more leaves, covered Grandpa, put the basket in a clean place, and took another big basket to pull out the bamboo shoots. She didn't want to pull out the thick bamboo shoots from the thorn canopy, so she just pulled out some thinner ones outside, which tasted just as delicious. + +On the slope outside, Tian Sisi was the only one slowly pulling out bamboo shoots. The one closest to her was Zhong Anmei, and further away was Zhong Juying. Both of them stuck out their buttocks and held back their strength to pull out bamboo shoots. Tian Sisi was humming and plucking bamboo shoots. From time to time, he would pull up a weed stalk and put it in his mouth to chew, enjoying himself quite a lot. + +But God was probably too happy to see Tian Sisi, so he sent a friend to accompany her. When Tian Sisi felt something was wrong and wanted to get up. Only then did I realize there was a good guy not far ahead. A big black snake looked at her eerily. The snake's body was nearly two meters long and as thick as Tian Sisi's small wrist. + +Tian Sisi was so frightened that she wanted to call her mother, but she opened her mouth. He couldn't make any sound, but his mind was extremely clear. He couldn't move his legs, and his whole body was so frozen. Why is there such a big snake here? Isn’t it said that snakes are afraid of people? There are so many people here today, Brother Snake, why do you dare to come out for a walk? + +Tian Sisi was about to cry without tears, praying in her heart that this snake was just here for a walk and would leave soon. However, this big snake seemed to recognize Tian Sisi, and stared at her so darkly, with its small round head raised. Wait, round head? Tian Sisi remembered that the book seemed to say that round-headed snakes were non-venomous, while triangular-shaped snakes were poisonous. She felt a little relieved. It was okay, okay, it was not poisonous. At worst, it would hurt if it bit him, but he wouldn't die anyway. + +It's just that women are afraid of this kind of mollusk. Nine out of ten women will change their expression when talking about snakes. Tian Sisi is the one who reacts the most. So although she knows that snakes are not poisonous, she is still stiff with weak legs and a mute voice. + +The first one to notice something was wrong was Zhong Juying. She hadn't heard Tian Sisi's singing for a while, so she raised her head and looked towards her. She saw Tian Sisi with a frightened expression at first glance. After a closer look, she found the big snake in front of Tian Sisi. Zhong Juying's heart skipped a beat. She didn't dare to shout loudly for fear of scaring the snake and hurting Tian Sisi. Because it was a little far away, Zhong Juying couldn't be sure whether the snake was poisonous or not. + +Zhong Juying hurriedly threw down the bag in her hand, stood up and walked towards Tian Sisi. When Zhong Anmei saw her getting up, she thought she was going to urinate, and was about to call her to go with him. + +When Tian Sisi saw the two of them coming over, she hurriedly opened her mouth to tell them not to come over, but her voice was so weak that she still couldn't make a sound, so she could only mouth and say: "Don't come over, there's a snake!" + +When Zhong Anmei saw Tian Siguo, who was scared to death and asked them to stay away, she couldn't help but be touched and amused. When she got closer, she discovered that it was just a black-tipped snake common in the mountains. It looked big, but it was very docile and unlikely to attack people. Moreover, the snake was not poisonous. Villagers often caught this kind of snake and stewed it, which was considered a meat dish. + +The big snake seemed to hear the movement behind it. It twisted its body and swam towards Tian Sisi. Tian Sisi's voice finally managed to regain its strength, "Oh my God!" A scream startled countless sparrows. Zhong Anmei had quick eyes and quick hands. She rushed forward and grabbed the tail of the big snake with her right hand. She quickly swung the snake nearly two meters long into a fierce swing. + +Heroine! Tian Sisi blinked her eyes and looked at Zhong Anmei with admiration. She didn't expect that there would be such a woman who dared to catch a snake next to her. Zhong Anmei danced with the snake dozens of times. The big snake had already passed out. She just held the snake's tail and smiled at Tian Sisi. "This snake is not poisonous, even if it bites, it's okay. It's good. We can have a meal tonight. Juying, let's share half of it. The snake weighs three or four pounds, which is enough for our two families to share." + +Zhong Juying nodded excitedly, looking at the big snake with bright eyes, like looking at a gold ingot, which made Tian Sisi wonder, isn't it said that nine out of ten women are afraid of snakes? Why isn't even the most timid Zhong Juying afraid of snakes? The way she looked just now was so embarrassing. What Tian Sisi doesn't know is that children in rural areas often go to the mountains. If they see this kind of mollusk more often, they will naturally not be afraid. + +Zhu Aiqing and others were frightened when they heard Tian Sisi's cry and gathered around her. Zhu Aiqing ran to Tian Sisi and looked her up and down. Seeing that nothing happened to her, he nodded her forehead and said angrily: "Are you trying to scare me to death? Isn't it just a black-tipped snake? It's not like you've never seen it before." + +Tian Sisi lowered her head in shame. She didn't want to be like this, but fear of snakes had become her instinct. It was a conditioned reflex and was beyond the control of her brain! + +Zhong Anmei was afraid that the big snake would wake up and run away, so she planned to go home and deal with the snake. Anyway, it was almost time to cook lunch. She invited Zhong Juying to go home with her and planned to peel off the snake's skin and take out the snake's gallbladder for her father to soak in wine. The snake meat could be stewed and eaten at night. Thinking of the deliciousness of the snake meat, Zhong Anmei's mouth watered. + +When Tian Sisi saw the fat snake, she suddenly remembered that the old man was talking about going to the mountains to catch snakes and eat them a few days ago. She immediately grabbed Zhong Anmei and asked in a low voice: "Anmei, can I discuss something with you?" + +"What are we discussing? Just say so." + +"Can I trade the pork for your snake? My grandpa likes to eat snakes, and I want to give it to him in exchange." Tian Sisi was a little embarrassed. It was unethical to cut off the beard of a snake that someone else had worked so hard to catch. + +"Hey, what do I think it is? Isn't it just a snake? Why don't you change it? Just take my share." Zhong Anmei was very generous, and Zhong Juying also said that she would also give her share to Tian Sisi. Their attitudes were very sincere, and it was obvious that they really wanted to give it to Tian Sisi. + +Tian Sisi didn't say much. There were so many people here. She said hello to Zhu Aiqing and motioned to Zhong Anmei and the others to follow her. After walking down the hillside, Tian Sisi said, "If you don't exchange pork for pork, then I won't want your snakes." + +Zhong Anmei saw Tian Sisi with her arms akimbo, majestic, not as embarrassed as she had been with her legs weak from fear just now. She couldn't help but burst into laughter. She knew in her heart that Tian Sisi didn't want to take advantage of her and Juying. If she didn't accept the pork, Tian Sisi would definitely not want the snake. She immediately smiled and said: "Okay, you can change it if you want, and we will take back your light and eat braised pork in the evening." + +Zhong Juying was anxious, how could she accept Tian Sisi's pork? She opened her mouth to object, but Zhong Anmei pressed her hand down, signaling her to stop talking. Zhong Juying and Zhong Anmei had been playing very close to each other during this period. One of them was decisive and decisive, while the other was sensitive and gentle. Such complementary personality differences made the two of them get along very harmoniously. However, Zhong Anmei was basically the one who made the decision between the two, so Zhong Juying stopped speaking. + +Only Mrs. Zhao and Jianguo were at home, while Donghua and Weiguo went out to play. The old man was working with Tang Tieshan, and the others had not returned from work. Zhong Anmei and Zhong Juying stopped when they walked outside Tian's yard. People in the village generally did not welcome them to visit, so Zhong Anmei and Zhong Juying never took the initiative to enter other people's homes unless invited by the owner. + +"Come in, you have to bring the snake in for me. I don't dare to take this guy." Tian Sisi turned to them and said to them, her expression was very casual, and she did not deliberately make people think that she was taking care of her friend's face, which made both Zhong Anmei and Zhong Juying feel very comfortable. + +Zhong Anmei and Zhong Juying were invited by Tian Sisi and followed them in, but they were a little cramped. Even the most cheerful and generous Zhong Anmei was a little bit unable to let go, let alone the timid Zhong Juying. Seeing them like that, Tian Sisi wanted to pull Zhong Anmei, but as soon as he reached over and saw the big guy in Zhong Anmei's hand, he immediately retracted his hand in fear. + +Looking at Tian Sisi's appearance, both Zhong Anmei and Zhong Juying laughed out loud, and unconsciously they became less nervous. Mrs. Zhao was peeling bamboo shoots with Jianguo in the yard. These were pulled out by Donghua He Chengsi and the other little guys. She was going to peel off the shells and cook them, taking advantage of the good weather in the past few days to dry them and put them away.(To be continued.) \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/09/eng_cont/i_0085.txt b/09/eng_cont/i_0085.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..8c303a14539ba4eba28997d6e840ff9a66e826c9 --- /dev/null +++ b/09/eng_cont/i_0085.txt @@ -0,0 +1,59 @@ +Chapter 85 Eat snake gall raw. + +"Mother, look what good things my friend has brought us."

Mrs. Zhao took the big snake without changing her expression and threw it to Jianguo, "Jianguo, put this snake in a bag and kill it to make soup later." + +Jianguo also very calmly took the big snake and put it in a cloth bag, and then tied the mouth of the bag with a rope. After the blow just now, Tian Sisi had a deep understanding that the Yuequan villagers were not afraid of snakes. No matter men, women, old or young, everyone was a hero! + +Mrs. Zhao brought a basin of water for Zhong Anmei and Zhong Juying to wash their hands. She also washed it herself, then went to the back room to get fried peanuts for them to eat. Tian Sisi ran to the kitchen and took out two pieces of pork belly from the mall, each weighing three to four kilograms. She didn't take more. Zhong Anmei and the others would definitely think too much about it. + +Tian Si thought for a while, then took out another pack of fruit candies from the space, divided the candies in half and wrapped them in paper, preparing to give them to Zhong Anmei and the others later. He Xuewen bought these fruit candies and kept them in her space so that she could take them out at any time to coax her brother. + +When Mrs. Zhao saw the two pieces of meat in her granddaughter's hand, her eyes flashed and she said with a smile: "I really want to thank you two. My old man has been clamoring for snake meat these days, and you just happened to bring it. Take these two pieces of meat back and burn them, and treat them as if they were exchanged for them by Granny Tian." + +"It's too much. Just one piece of meat for the two of us is enough." Zhong Anmei was also shocked by Tian Sisi's generosity. The two pieces of meat weighed six or seven kilograms. + +"No more, no more. It's just a coincidence. A-nan and her godfather got some pork. Normally, our family wouldn't be able to get so much meat. Good boy, take it back quickly. You should hurry up and cook lunch. Grandma Tian won't leave you alone." + +Mrs. Zhao likes these two little girls very much. They are both good children and have good eyesight. Not someone who likes to take advantage. Dozens of times better than that Zhong Yuying. + +Due to the enthusiasm of Mrs. Zhao and Tian Sisi, Zhong Anmei and Zhong Juying had no choice but to accept the heavy piece of meat. Mrs. Zhao was very careful and stuffed the meat into the cloth bag they used to hold the bamboo shoots. To avoid being seen and causing trouble. They also stuffed their pockets with peanuts. He also told them to come and play with A-nan frequently, which moved Zhong Anmei and Zhong Juying very much. Unexpectedly, Aunt Tian did not look down on them at all. It seemed that what my brother said was right, and the Tian family was pretty good. Only then did Zhong Anmei feel how correct her second brother Zhong Ankang's statement was. + +Tian Sisi sent the two of them out. When they were at the gate of the hospital, she took out two paper bags from her pocket and handed them to Zhong Anmei and Zhong Juying, "Here are you, thank you for helping me catch snakes today! It's not a good thing, you can just eat it as snacks." + +Zhong Anmei took the two paper packages generously and asked, "Are you going to the mountain to pull bamboo shoots this afternoon?" + +"Go! See you at the same place in the afternoon." After Tian Sisi said that, she ran into the yard. + +Zhong Anmei and Zhong Juying walked home with their bags. Zhong Anmei had opened the two packets of candies just now. They were fruit candies. Zhong Anmei immediately took out one and peeled off the candy wrapper and put it in her mouth to eat. It was sour and sweet, so delicious. She peeled off another one and stuffed it into Zhong Juying's mouth. + +"Sister Anmei, wouldn't it be bad if we took so many things from Sisi?" Zhong Juying was still a little uneasy. + +"It's okay. At noon, we asked my brother to go to Tiankan to catch loaches together at noon, and in the afternoon we gave them to Sisi's family. I heard that Grandpa Tian loves loaches and eels the most. We will catch more in the future." Zhong Anmei has already thought of a countermeasure. + +Zhong Juying felt more at ease after hearing this. Because there was too much work in the fields these days, her brother had to work at night, and he hadn't sent loaches and eels to the Tian family for a long time. She let her brother take a nap at noon, and she followed Brother Anping and Brother Ankang to catch loaches. + +The snake was skinned by Mrs. Zhao, and the snake's gall was swallowed alive by Jianguo. Tian Sisi was disgusted by the sight. It was so dirty. Snakes have the most bacteria on their bodies. The same must be true for this snake's gall. What could Jianguo do if he ate it raw? Tian Sisi asked Jianguo not to eat raw snake gall, as he would get sick if he did. + +Mrs. Zhao felt that Tian Sisi was making such a fuss, "What kind of bacteria is not bacteria? Eating snake gall raw is a rule passed down from our ancestors. It has not happened for hundreds of years. What do you little girl know?" + +Jianguo himself didn't think it was a big deal, and he was even touched. Grandma gave him the best gallbladders in the snakes, even Donghua and Tsinghua didn't share. Grandma was so kind. He must be filial to his grandparents when he grows up. + +It turns out that in mountain villages, after ordinary villagers catch a snake, they will use a knife to pick out the snake gall from the snake's belly while the snake is still alive, and let the children of the family swallow it while it is fresh. It is said that it has the effect of improving eyesight and replenishing the body. Generally speaking, only the most valued children in the family have this honor, which is why Jianguo was so moved. + +It’s just that some experts in later generations (Lao Yang wanted to laugh when he wrote about the experts) said that because snakes live in humus, they carry many bacteria on their bodies, and even high temperatures may not kill them, let alone eating them raw? Therefore, eating raw snake gallbladder is likely to cause parasites to breed in the human body and cause harm to the human body. + +But think about it, people in Yuequan Village eat snake gall raw like this, and I have never heard of anyone getting into trouble after eating snake gall? Tian Sisi stopped worrying. Watching Jianguo swallow the peanut-sized snake bile in one gulp without blinking, she couldn't help but swallow hard. + +"Jianguo, what does it smell like?" + +"It's a little bitter, but now it's a little sweet, and I don't feel much. How about I catch a snake next time, and sister Sisi, would you like to try it too?" Jianguo smacked his chin, thinking that Tian Sisi also wanted to eat snake gall, so he suggested. + +"No, I don't want to eat it." When Tian Sisi thought of the slippery snake, her anus tightened. It was so disgusting that she wouldn't eat such a disgusting thing even if I killed her. + +Jianguo laughed. No wonder Brother Xinhua always likes to tease Sister Sisi. It's really fun to see Sister Sisi fussing. Under Tian Xinhua's leadership, the little guy gradually became bad. + +The snake weighed less than three kilograms or four kilograms. Mrs. Zhao beheaded it, skinned it and disemboweled it in one go. Tian Sisi watched from a distance as a big black snake turned into a piece of white meat in the blink of an eye. Then it was chopped into pieces by Mrs. Zhao's invincible chopping skills. She felt sick in her chest. She couldn't help it anymore and rushed to the backyard vegetable patch to retching.

Tian Xinhua said it bravely. + +The fourth aunt is a good person in other aspects, but she attaches too much importance to this element and is always unwilling to associate with rich peasants. In his opinion, no matter whether they are rich peasants or poor peasants, as long as they have good character, they can be friends.

Man Yin's wife was right, this would bring trouble to the Tian family. Although he could eat and drink well in the Tian family, he could not harm the Tian family just for temporary comfort. + +In fact, Zhu Aiqing also had strong objections to the old man bringing Tang Tieshan's grandfather and grandson here. Having such a counter-revolutionary element in his home was like a time bomb, and he didn't know when it would explode. It was just that his father-in-law had decided to do something that even an eight-headed horse could not pull back, and she, as the daughter-in-law, had no choice. + +The old man looked at his daughter-in-law, but he didn't feel uncomfortable at all. Her daughter-in-law was also worried about her family, so he couldn't explain it to her. According to his estimation, Old Tang should have been given up by the rebels. Old Tang had been in Yuequan Village for so many days, and the rebels only showed up the first day, and they never came again. Originally, Old Tang had to submit a reflection report every week, but he had written several copies, and no one was sent to get the report. + +Therefore, the old man concluded that Old Tang had escaped from the tiger's mouth and was given up by the rebels. However, the old man did not know why. He could only explain that Old Tang was destined to be lucky. That's why the old man dared to take Tang Tieshan home so boldly. Otherwise, how could he be the kind of person who didn't care about the life and death of his family? + +Tian Sisi was pulled by Tian Xinhua to walk towards Zhongjiawan. The sun was at its strongest now. After running for a while, she was sweating. Tian Sisi straightened the big bamboo hat on her head. This kind of bamboo hat is very big.

In later generations, this kind of bamboo hat is rarely seen, and there are very few people who can make this kind of bamboo hat. + +He Xuewen had long bought a beautiful sun hat for his daughter. The one with pink ribbons was very beautiful to wear. However, this kind of sun hat only looked good when worn, but it could not cover much of the sun.

She hadn't seen Zhong Yuying for more than a month. + +The Zhong Yuying in front of her is dark and thin, with messy hair and ragged clothes. How can she still look as refreshing as before? She looked like a replica of Zhong Juying before. At this moment, there was a large bucket full of clothes beside Zhong Yuying, and she was beating hard with a mallet. She didn't know whether it was sweat or river water, but a large area was wet on her body. + +Seeing Tian Sisi staring at Zhong Yuying, Tian Xinhua was afraid that she would be soft-hearted, so he hurriedly said: "Grandma, don't be soft-hearted again.

I'm not that Mr. Dong Guo. I just felt strange when I saw her appearance changed." Tian Sisi is not a good old person who shows kindness. No matter how pitiful Zhong Yuying's life is, it has nothing to do with her. She is very kind if she doesn't rush to add insult to injury. + +"Oh, yes, even Mr. Dong Guo knows about it." Tian Xinhua secretly breathed a sigh of relief. + +"Hmph, you think I'm you. I made an agreement with my grandpa.

With such a simple question now, if she couldn't score 90 points again, she would really be in trouble. It would be nice to think that she could sleep in in the future. + +A group of them chatted and laughed and drifted away. Only Tang Qiubai fell at the back and glanced at Zhong Yuying a few times with some sympathy in his eyes.

He must have had some misunderstanding at the time. + +In his opinion, Tian Sisi, a girl with a delicate personality, is definitely not an easy person to get along with, and she suddenly broke off the relationship with her former good friend, which would be unbearable for anyone. Moreover, given the Tian family's status in the village, even if Tian Sisi made a mistake, no one would say anything about her, and they would definitely blame Zhong Yuying.

In front of the Tian family, he showed that he hated Zhong Yuying as much as they did. Even to outsiders, Tang Qiubai disliked Zhong Yuying very much, so no one knew Tang Qiubai's psychological activities at this time. + +Zhong Yuying had seen Tian Sisi and the others a long time ago, but she didn't dare to look up. She had suffered a lot these days, and she couldn't help but want to escape Yuequan Village several times, but she had to endure it. The time had not come yet, and she was still too young. When she was older, she could go to Shanghai to work as a nanny. + +Zhong Yuying has no hope of studying. Now she can only hope to escape before her father marries her when she is fourteen or fifteen years old. She has already thought about her future. She will first go to Shanghai to work as a nanny, and then find a Shanghai local to marry. I believe that with her appearance and means, she will definitely live a good life, even better than Tian Sisi! + +In the future, she must come back in glory and let those who look down on others take a good look at her. She, Zhong Yuying, is the most successful girl in Yuequan Village. + +Zhong Yuying couldn't help but smile as she thought about the future scene of people who looked down on her talking down to her. However, this illusion was soon awakened by the mountain of clothes in front of her. She sighed, picked up the mallet again and started washing the clothes. Just take your time! Let’s get through the immediate difficulties first. + +The ditch Tian Xinhua mentioned is located in the innermost part of Zhongjiawan. It is actually a small ditch less than one meter wide. The villagers dug it to irrigate the rice fields. Because the rice fields in Yuequan Village are basically concentrated in the Zhongjiawan area, the ditch was dug here. It didn't rain for several days. The water in the ditch was a little shallow, barely covering Zhong Anping's ankles. + +Zhong Anping and Zhong Ankang had already taken buckets and started searching in the ditch. Zhong Anmei and Zhong Juying were also there. Tian Sisi also saw Zhong Meiying and Zhong Wanhua. and Zhong Wanhua’s younger brother Zhong Xiaowu. + +Zhong Puppy is nine years old this year. Same as his sister. She is dark and skinny, but very energetic. When Tian Sisi first heard the name of Zhong Puppy. I thought it was his nickname, but it turned out that Zhong Wanhua said it was his nickname and it was listed in the family tree. At that time, Tian Sisi couldn't hold back her laughter. + +Zhong Wanhua herself was happy, but it was Zhong Meiying who explained to her that the puppy was extremely thin because it only weighed just over three pounds at birth. Uncle Fu and Gao were worried that they would not be able to raise their son well, so they asked Uncle Zhong, the oldest man in the village, to name the child. + +Uncle Zhong is also Zhong Meiying's great-uncle and grandfather. He is now eighty-nine years old. He looked at the little puppy-like thing and blurted out the name Zhong Puppy. + +Zhong Fugao was originally reluctant to let his son be called Puppy. But Zhong Boqiang thought it was good. The child just wanted to have a cheap name so that he could support himself, so the name Zhong Puppy was adopted. + +Oddly enough, although Zhong Puppy has lost a little weight since he was called this name, he is extremely smooth and has very few colds and fevers. He has grown up so peacefully until now, and Zhong Fugao's reluctance has long been forgotten. + +Zhong Xiaowu had a sweet mouth, and when he saw Tian Sisi barking happily, Tian Sisi took great advantage of it. She took out fruit candies from her pocket and gave them to him, and then gave them to everyone present, one piece for each person. Zhong Xiaowu specially gave a few more to Zhong Xiaowu. + +In fact, if you look closely, Zhong Meiying, Zhong Wanhua, Zhong Juying, and Zhong Anmei are all related to each other. They are either cousins ​​or first cousins. Therefore, in Zhongjiawan, there is still a lot of contact between poor and lower-middle peasants and rich peasants. The relationship between relatives cannot be broken no matter how hard it is. Of course, the ones who interact the most are children, and adults can only say hello when they see each other, and are relatively indifferent. + +Tian Xinhua couldn't resist the temptation of the clear water in the ditch. He took off his shoes and went into the ditch. The cool water made him sigh in comfort. Donghua and Chengsi also took off their shoes and went into the water. They all smiled exaggeratedly. Even Xiao Baoguo went into the water and had a great time. Tian Sisi felt itchy. + +"Sister Sisi, come down too, the water is really cool." He Chengsi invited Tian Sisi into the water. + +"Sisi, come down quickly and touch the snails. There are a lot of them down there." Zhong Anmei and the other girls also got into the water and bent down to touch the snails. + +Tian Sisi couldn't resist the temptation anymore. She took off her rain boots and socks, rolled up her trouser legs to her knees, exposing her bare legs. Tian Xinhua smiled and hugged her into the water. As soon as her feet entered the water, Tian Sisi shivered. It was still early May, and the water was quite cold. + +"Are you cold?" Tian Xinhua asked in a low voice. + +Tian Sisi shook her head. It was indeed not cold anymore. It was just a little cold the moment she entered the water. The little girl's feet were white and tender, and her toenails were pink. It was obvious at a glance that they had never been in the fields. They were different from the rough and black feet of rural girls. + +As soon as Zhong Anping touched a big loach, he stood up and threw the loach into a bucket on the shore. Then he saw two crispy white legs. + +Because Tian Sisi's two little feet were so eye-catching, Zhong Anping couldn't help but take a second look. Tian Sisi was about to walk towards Zhong Meiying when he saw this and asked, "Brother Anping, is there something on me?" + +Zhong Anping shook his head in a panic, "No, I just saw what looked like a big loach swimming by your feet." + +Tian Sisi said regretfully and continued to walk towards Zhong Meiying. Zhong Anping took a long breath and the tips of his ears were dyed red. He was already a 15-year-old boy and had some vague awareness of things between men and women. Therefore, he felt that his actions just now were extremely frivolous, and he despised his lies in his heart. + +There were indeed a lot of snails in the ditch. Zhong Anmei and the others were very fast with their hands and feet, and they struck quickly and accurately. They could get a handful of snails with just one touch of their hands. Tian Sisi was not like that. She clearly saw a piece of snails on the sand. She touched it, but the water turned muddy. A handful of sand or water plants came up in her hand. She was so angry that she continued to touch, turning the water muddy.(To be continued.) \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/09/eng_cont/i_0088.txt b/09/eng_cont/i_0088.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..39696590082716a028fd5a5ea59343cd4e40f5fb --- /dev/null +++ b/09/eng_cont/i_0088.txt @@ -0,0 +1,81 @@ +Chapter 88 pierce. + +"Oh, Sisi, are you touching the snails or the mud?" Zhong Anmei really couldn't stand it anymore. With Tian Sisi's method of touching, none of them could even think of touching it. + +Tian Sisi stood up and took a look, smiling sheepishly. The 5-meter radius around her was like a small Yellow River. Zhong Meiying and the others stopped and frowned at her touching the mud. + +"Sisi, you'd better just play here slowly. We're going to touch the front, so don't come over." Zhong Anmei said helplessly to Tian Sisi. + +Tian Sisi nodded with a smile. It was good to play with the water alone. After a while, Zhong Anmei and the others would definitely give her some if they touched the snails. Tian Sisi's calculation was very good, so she just touched here and there in the water happily. + +Tian Xinhua was a little worried about her. He looked up and saw that the little girl was having a good time by herself. He smiled and continued to touch the loaches. He was a good hand at touching loaches. He could accurately trace the loach with one eye and pinch it with one hand, and he caught a loach. + +The same is true for Zhong Anping. Although he looks like a humble gentleman, he is very agile in his work, not inferior to Tian Xinhua. The two of them are like a competition, one for you and one for him. Within a few minutes, half of the bucket has been filled. + +He Chengsi was not good at catching loaches. He used to live in the mountains and was a good hunter, but not good at working on the water, so he humbly asked Donghua for advice. All the boys in Yuequan Village were good at catching loaches. Donghua proudly showed He Chengsi how to find loach holes and how to catch loaches. He Chengsi was a natural hunter, and it didn't take long for him to find the trick and catch each one accurately. + +The same cannot be said for Tang Qiubai. He has never lived in the countryside. Children in the city rarely have this kind of experience, so under the background of Donghua and the others, Tang Qiubai seemed clumsy. He always missed the mark and got himself covered with mud. He was so embarrassed. Zhong Ankang saw it funny and enthusiastically taught Tang Qiubai how to catch loaches. + +There was a sound of voices in the distance, and when people came closer, Tian Sisi heard a cold snort from the shore, which seemed to be extremely dissatisfied with her. Tian Sisi looked up strangely. It turns out to be Gao Hongmei who loves to compete with her. + +The little tall girl wore the famous green floral skirt, a pink sun hat, and a beautiful bow tied around her neck, but the green skirt was paired with a red hat. Coupled with Gao Hongmei's short, fat and thick black figure. It looks awkward no matter how you look at it. + +The sunhat on Gao Hongmei's head is the same one Tian Sisi wore. Her brother-in-law specially bought it from Suicheng as her birthday gift. Gao Hongmei wears this sun hat to school every day. Rain or shine, overcoming thorns and thorns, it has become a beautiful scenery of Luoling Primary School. + +Gao Hongmei saw that Tian Sisi was only wearing an ordinary floral shirt and trousers, and only a rustic hat on her head. Then she looked at her fashionable floral skirt and sun hat. She felt good about herself immediately. She snorted heavily at Tian Sisi with her nose, glanced at Zhong Anmei and the others with her nostrils, and then called the girls behind her to go upstream to touch snails. + +The girls who followed Gao Hongmei were all from Tianzhuang, and had little contact with the Tian family in Tianzhuang. Because Gao Hongmei's father, Gao Yuzhu, was the most promising person among them, these families had close contacts with the Gao family, and they also wanted to please Gao Yuzhu and get some benefits, so these girls were vaguely led by Gao Hongmei. + +Tian Sisi didn't want to argue with Gao Hongmei. In her opinion, Gao Hongmei was just a little girl who felt too good about herself. She thought she was a princess, but in fact she was just a maid. She had a lot of money, so she didn't care about the fat girl. + +In fact, the main reason is that Gao Hongmei did not do anything excessive to Tian Sisi because of the warning from her father Gao Yuzhu. At most, she rolled her eyes or snorted a few times, which did not cause even a ripple to Tian Sisi. + +However, Gao Hongmei seemed to be a little timid today. She kept mixing the water upstream, and the yellow water mixed with water plants flowed down. Tian Sisi and the others below did not want to touch the snails. Zhong Anmei and Zhong Juying dared not speak out because of their own ingredients. Zhong Wanhua did not have so many scruples and shouted at Gao Hongmei. + +"Gao Hongmei, if you don't touch it yourself, stay away. Don't muddy our water." + +Gao Hongmei smiled proudly and deliberately stepped hard with her foot a few times, causing a pool of yellow water to appear. The girls around her laughed happily. Because of their foreign surnames, their parents always let them live in the village with their tail between their legs. Now seeing the local snakes in Yuequan Village whose eyes were red with Gao Hongmei's anger, they all felt a sense of pleasure in their hearts. + +"This ditch does not belong to your Zhong family? It is national property and belongs to the broad masses of workers and peasants. Can you control how I want to touch the snails?" Gao Hongmei was influenced by her father Gao Yuzhu, so her outlet was Shang Gang Shang Xian. + +"Then this ditch does not belong to your Gao family. You are messing around like this and it affects us from touching snails. Of course I have to take care of it." Zhong Wanhua retorted. + +"You? Zhong Wanhua, I haven't talked about you yet. As the village chief's daughter, you actually got involved with a few rich peasants. You are really regressive in your thinking and don't seek to make progress. Do you still have the consciousness of being a poor peasant?" Gao Hongmei was confident and confident. + +Xu Wanhua couldn't answer. She was not an eloquent girl to begin with, and Gao Hongmei actually gave her the upper hand, so she couldn't help but feel a little flustered. Zhong Anmei wanted to help, but she knew that if she opened her mouth, she would definitely become more and more helpful. Tian Sisi heard the noise and hurriedly walked over. + +"Of course when we are with the rich peasants, we must educate them and let them know the glory and greatness of labor. Zhong Anmei, do you know now that labor is glorious?" Tian Sisi asked Zhong Anmei seriously. + +"I know, after your education, we have a deep understanding of how glorious and great labor is." Zhong Anmei answered while suppressing a smile, and Zhong Juying nodded in agreement. + +Gao Hongmei knew that Tian Sisi and Zhong Anmei were playing a double act, but she couldn't say anything to object. She was so angry that the water under her feet became more and more muddy. Tian Sisi accused her: "Gao Hongmei, you are sabotaging labor. Hmm, you are the one with backward ideas." + +"I'm not. I have to help my mother with a lot of work every day. Tian Sisi, you are a backward person who doesn't like working. Look at your hands and feet. How do you look like someone from the countryside? You are a backward person." Gao Hongmei yelled in anger. + +Tian Xinhua had already noticed the movement here, but seeing that Tian Sisi had the upper hand, and with Zhong Wanhua and the others here, he wasn't too worried, but he still paid attention to the movement on Tian Sisi's side, and rushed over immediately if something was wrong. He Chengsi wanted to go over to help, but Tang Qiubai held him back. + +"It's hard for us men to get involved in the quarrels between girls." + +Tang Qiubai was a bit of a chauvinist, but his words attracted the approval of several boys present. At this time, the quarrel on Tian Sisi's side had reached a fever pitch, and the content of the quarrel had long since diverged from serious political issues to unknown places. + +"Huh, I'm born with beauty. I can't tan no matter how much I sunbathe, unlike some people who can't whiten my skin no matter how much I cover it." + +Tian Sisi raised her head and mocked Gao Hongmei, while Zhong Anmei and others suppressed their laughter. Gao Hongmei was famous for her darkness in Yuequan Village. Like her mother, it was so dark that she couldn't recognize anyone without a light at night. + +Gao Hongmei's dark skin was her flaw. She hated it so much that her teeth itched with hatred. When she saw Tian Sisi's fair and tender face, she felt even more panicked. She immediately cursed, "You are an unknown bastard. What's the use of being good-looking? Why don't you let your parents throw them away?" + +Gao Hongmei accidentally learned the identity of Tian Sisi's adopted daughter from a conversation between her parents, but was warned by Gao Yuzhu not to tell her. This time she was ridiculed by Tian Sisi and couldn't help it, so she blurted out. + +Tian Xinhua's expression changed and he rushed over. Zhong Anping knew the situation, so his expression also changed and he followed. Although Zhong Ankang and others did not understand, they also followed behind. + +Although Tian Sisi already knew that she was not from the Tian family, she was really angry after being so insulted by Gao Hongmei. She immediately rushed towards Gao Hongmei, "My father and mother love me so much. You are the thirteen o'clock of unknown origin (meaning a person dressed in a nondescript manner). You look like a green toad in this outfit. You are even ugly to your grandma's house." + +Gao Hongmei regretted her words as soon as she said them, but her forehead was bleeding again after being stimulated by Tian Sisi, "You are just a bastard, you are not from the Tian family at all." + +Because Tian Xinhua was far away, there was no time to stop Gao Hongmei. Tian Sisi was so angry that she rushed to Gao Hongmei and grabbed her hat and beat her hard.

A'nan's health had just improved a little, but she didn't want to get sick again. He asked Qinghua and the others to follow slowly, and he trotted all the way with Tian Sisi on his back.

Now that the matter has been revealed, I might as well tell Grandma the truth." + +Tian Xinhua called out "Grandpa" in disapproval. In his opinion, Grandpa was still young and Grandpa could fool her by just saying a few words. He didn't want Grandpa to feel sad because she was not the daughter of the Tian family.

Tian Manyin was awakened by the noise outside and got up. When he saw his daughter with wet hair, he smiled and joked, "Ana, did you fall into the water?" + +Tian Manyin's tone was relaxed. To him, a small ditch was just like his own ditch. Falling into it would only wet his clothes. Therefore, he was not as fussy as Mrs. Zhao and Zhu Aiqing. It can only be said that men and women view things completely differently. + +"Dad, I beat that fat guy Gao Hongmei so hard that she pissed her shit off." Tian Sisi said proudly. + +Tian Manyin became interested this time. "Oh? You're so impressive, little girl. Why did you want to beat that girl Gao Hongmei?" +Tian Sisi's face instantly fell, and her eyes reddened. She had originally intended to put on an act and make a show of it, but the moment she saw Tian Manyin's loving smile, she suddenly felt wronged. Now she didn't even need to pretend anymore.

The ginger soup has to be piping hot to be effective." Mrs. Zhao's face became stern when she saw it. + +Tian Sisi secretly cursed that the temperature might have caused several blisters on her tongue, but she still did not dare to refute the old lady and drank the ginger soup with a grimace. The heat made her eyes wet with tears and she broke out in a thin layer of sweat. + +It is said that Gao Hongmei was beaten to death by Tian Sisi. She was helped back home by several other girls. When Tian Chunfang saw her little girl like this, she felt heartbroken. Tian Chunfang gave birth to four children in total, two boys and two girls. + +The other three all look like Gao Yuzhu, beautiful and beautiful, but only this little girl looks exactly like her, so in Tian Chunfang's heart. Isn't her little girl Gao Hongmei her sweetheart? + +"Hongmei, what's wrong with you? Who bullied you?" + +When Tian Chunfang saw Gao Hongmei's bruised nose and face, she knew that someone was bullying her daughter, and she immediately became furious. There was someone in Yuequan Village who dared to bully the Gao family. Is she really so brave? Seeing Tian Chunfang's behavior, one can imagine where Gao Hongmei's good sense of self comes from. + +Gao Hongmei was beaten so hard that she still hadn't recovered from the beating and couldn't say a word. The girls who were supporting her told her what happened one by one. Of course, they didn't dare to say anything about Gao Hongmei's scolding Tian Sisi for being a bastard. These people are also very smart. Knowing what happened today, the Tian family was afraid that they would not be kind to each other, so they all said their goodbyes and left after they finished speaking, not daring to stay at the Gao family for fear of getting into trouble. + +Gao Yuzhu walked out of the back room. He had just woken up from his nap. My mind is not very clear yet. Seeing his little daughter in such a mess, he immediately sobered up, even though his little daughter looked like his wife. She didn't love Gao Hongmei as much as she did the three brothers and sisters above, but after all, she was her biological daughter, so she still felt heartbroken when she saw Gao Hongmei's tragic appearance. + +"What's going on?" Gao Yuzhu asked with a straight face. + +"Yuzhu, you have to make the decision for Hongmei! The Tian family is really bullying others. Look, what did they do to Hongmei?" + +When Tian Chunfang saw her husband, she immediately walked towards him and complained aggrievedly, but her figure was too majestic, and the pitiful expression on her face looked funny. + +Gao Yuzhu frowned slightly, and quickly ducked in front of Gao Hongmei. He did everything very naturally and smoothly, so Tian Chunfang did not realize that her husband was avoiding her on purpose. + +"What is going on, Hongmei, please tell me what happened." + +Gao Hongmei has always been extremely afraid of Gao Yuzhu. How could she dare to say what she said to scold Tian Sisi? She only picked out some less important things to say. However, how could a cunning person like Gao Yuzhu be deceived by his daughter's words? He was about to ask more questions with a sullen face when he heard a loud roar coming from outside. + +"Gao Yuzhu, you bastard, get out of here right now." Tian Manyin yelled outside the gate of the Gao Family Courtyard and rushed inside, attracting a group of villagers who were getting ready to start work. There are so many things going on in the Tian family these days. The Zhong Liangcai family has just settled it. What happened to the Gao family again? + +Gao Yuzhu's expression changed. No one could bear to be blocked at the door of his house and scolded as a bastard, let alone Gao Yuzhu, who had always been arrogant. He quickly put on his coat and walked out with a smile on his face and handed over a cigarette, "What's wrong with Man Yin? What did I do wrong?" + +Tian Manyin stretched out his hand to knock off Gao Yuzhu's cigarette. Gao Yuzhu was not angry. He bent down and picked up the cigarette on the ground. He stopped handing it and clamped it to his ear. Tian Xinhua watched from the side and became wary of Gao Yuzhu. Gao Yuzhu was a sweet-talking villain and he had to remind his fourth uncle to be careful in the future. + +"Huh, Gao Yuzhu, don't pretend to be stupid with me. Ask your good daughter what she said today. Did my grandma offend your Gao family? Is she related to my Tian Man Yinsheng? Does it have anything to do with your Gao family? You, Gao Yuzhu, need to teach your daughter to talk about this matter. You also called my grandma a bastard. Huh, Gao Yuzhu, you are deliberately trying to make things difficult for our Tian family." + +Tian Manyin really wanted to punch him, but he also knew that he couldn't punch him in front of so many people today. After all, it was a quarrel between children. It was okay for him to vent his anger by scolding a few times, but beating someone would be unreasonable. + +Gao Yuzhu was so angry that he really wanted to go back to the house and beat up Gao Hongmei. This was causing trouble for him! He immediately said with an apologetic smile: "Brother Man Yin, don't be angry. It's my fault. I didn't raise my daughter strictly. I don't know where this damn girl Hongmei heard those dirty words from. I'm going to beat her right now to let her know what to say and what not to say." + +The surrounding villagers were in an uproar. They all knew the identity of Tian Sisi's adopted daughter, but because the old man and Mrs. Zhao had asked the villagers not to talk about it to their children at home, so that the children would not be able to control themselves and tell Tian Sisi, so the villagers unanimously kept this secret. In their opinion, the requirements of the old man and Mrs. Zhao were not excessive at all. No one wanted the child they had worked so hard to raise to separate from them in the future after knowing their life experience. + +I didn’t expect that the little girl of the Gao family would be so courageous. She would even dare to scold a bastard? It was really uneducated. The villagers were noncommittal about the Gao family's tutoring and accused Gao Yuzhu of his faults. The embarrassed Gao Yuzhu's face turned red and white. He had never been so embarrassed. + +"Gao Yuzhu, how you want to beat your daughter has nothing to do with me. I came here today to tell you, don't let your daughter lose control of her mouth and only know how to spit shit. Next time, if you let me know that someone in your family is talking nonsense, don't blame me, Tian Manyin, for being rude. Huh, my Tian family is not a soft persimmon!" + +Tian Manyin said a few words with a sullen face and turned away. He called Tian Xinhua to join him. He could only show his power today. He thought that Gao Yuzhu would take care of his family and take revenge if he had the opportunity in the future.(To be continued.) \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/09/eng_cont/i_0091.txt b/09/eng_cont/i_0091.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..a24abf6e4c5818a2727401087b96595c430a2a64 --- /dev/null +++ b/09/eng_cont/i_0091.txt @@ -0,0 +1,75 @@ +Chapter 91 Gao Yuzhu. + +Gao Yuzhu looked at Tian Manyin's back with a sullen face.

Do they really think that they are the boss of Yuequan Village? + +Huh, let's wait and see. When I finish that matter, how will your Tian family be in glory? Gao Yuzhu couldn't help but feel proud when he thought about what he and his brother-in-law had discussed some time ago. It turned out that there was a reason why Gao Hongmei dared to challenge Tian Sisi so boldly today. + +Gao Hongmei overheard Gao Yuzhu discussing things with her mother at home a few days ago. It seemed that Tian Sisi's family was about to collapse. From now on, the Gao family would have the final say in Yuequan Village. Unfortunately, Gao Hongmei only listened to the first half of the sentence and ignored the second half of her father's sentence, "This has to be done slowly. I have to keep my tail between my legs until it happens." + +Gao Hongmei was already dissatisfied with Tian Sisi's pressure on her. When she heard that her father was going to bring down the Tian family, she suddenly felt proud, which was why she provoked Tian Sisi before. + +Gao Yuzhu walked into the room with a sullen face and shouted in a low voice, "You don't want to die before you die!" + +Gao Hongmei shivered with fright and gave Tian Chunfang a pitiful look. Tian Chunfang felt sorry for her daughter and hurriedly begged: "Yuzhu, don't blame Hongmei. Tian Sisi is a bastard. There is nothing you can't say." + +"Are you full of shit in your head? How could Hongmei say such a thing? It turns out that you, the pig, taught her from behind. Tian Chunfang, you think our family is too smooth, right? Did you grow up eating grass?" Gao Yuzhu was furious. + +In order to become an accountant, he gritted his teeth and married Tian Chunfang. At first, he thought that Tian Chunfang was just ugly, and her brain should still be alive. After all, her father was an old accountant in the village. According to heredity, she couldn't be that stupid. + +But he really miscalculated. Tian Chunfang was not only ugly, but also as stupid as a pig. He was so regretful that his intestines turned green. Fortunately, the three older ones above were not like Tian Chunfang at all. Otherwise, what was the point of Gao Yuzhu fighting for his life and death? + +It's just that this little girl is a replica of her mother. He always causes trouble for me to wipe my ass. Sometimes he really wanted to be cruel and ignore him, but after all, he was his own flesh and blood. He, Gao Yuzhu, could be cruel to outsiders, but he could not be cruel to his own family. + +Tian Chunfang felt aggrieved."Why are you talking about me like this, Yuzhu? You were not like this before. You were so kind to me before. Do you think I am getting fat because of my age?" + +Gao Yuzhu's third daughter, Gao Qiaomei, was sarcastic as she listened. She is 15 years old and is in the same class as Tian Xinhua. They are both in the fifth grade. Gao Qiaomei is fair and delicate, very much like her sister-in-law, and is a very graceful girl. + +Moreover, she also inherited her brain from Gao Yuzhu. She is quite wealthy and doesn't think highly of her mother Tian Chunfang and her younger sister Gao Hongmei. However, she still does a good job on the surface. In the eyes of outsiders, Gao Qiaomei is a good girl who is filial to her elders and loves her younger sister. + +Gao Qiaomei rolled her eyes secretly. She, a mother-in-law, sometimes just couldn't figure it out and didn't know what she looked like when she looked in the mirror. With this dark and fat appearance, he still acted like a coquettish daughter in front of his father. Fortunately, his father was not offended? + +Gao Yuzhu is indeed very off-putting. When did you, Tian Chunfang, lose weight? But he doesn't dare to fall out with Tian Chunfang now. The Gao family has some power now, but their foundation is still too poor. Although his father-in-law's family is unhappy with him because of accounting matters, for Tian Chunfang's sake, as long as the Gao family has trouble, they will still stand by him. If he falls out with Tian Chunfang now, the Gao family will really be alone in Yuequan Village. + +"The children are here, you are not afraid of being embarrassed when you say these things? How old are you?" Gao Yuzhu didn't curse anymore, he just frowned and said to Tian Chunfang. + +He really couldn't say those sweet words. When he was young, Tian Chunfang was a bit ugly, but after all, she was young and tender, and she still had the charm of a daughter's family. But now, if he was asked to say loving words to an old, fat and dark face, it would be better to kill him. + +Tian Chunfang pursed her lips and stopped talking. She was not stupid and knew that her husband now disliked her. Although she hated Gao Yuzhu for being so heartless, she really liked Gao Yuzhu, so she could only say good things to Gao Yuzhu every time she went back to her parents' home. When she bought something, she would say that Gao Yuzhu asked her to buy it. She just hoped that the relationship between her parents, brothers and her husband would get better, and that Gao Yuzhu would be grateful to her and feel that she was of some use. + +It can only be said that Tian Chunfang is a pitiful and hateful woman. She expects men to see the remaining value in her body and treat her well. She doesn't want to think about what will happen after all the value in her body is squeezed out? + +Gao Yuzhu stopped asking Gao Hongmei. Tian Manyin had just finished telling what happened. He was so angry that he picked up a broom and beat Gao Hongmei. While beating him, he lowered his voice and cursed: "What do I usually tell you? I told you to stay calm and don't mess with Tian Sisi. I don't even dare to mess with her. Your wings are stiff? Huh?" + +Gao Hongmei cried out in pain, but Tian Chunfang didn't dare to come to save her. She could only shout "Enough, enough!" in distress. + +When Gao Yuzhu's father Gao Shaoyue heard that the Tian family came to make trouble, he was so frightened that he rushed over from his eldest son. As soon as he entered the door, he heard his younger son beating his granddaughter. He shouted angrily: "Yuzhu, what are you doing? Do you think the family has been peaceful for a long time?" + +"Dad, don't worry. I'm going to beat this little beast to death today to prevent her from causing more trouble in the future." + +"Your daughter is a little beast, and you and I will become old beasts. You are scolding you and me! What does Hongmei know as a child, and she was not taught by you adults? You should reflect on yourself first." When Gao Shaoyue said this, he was directed at his daughter-in-law Tian Chunfang. + +He didn't like this daughter-in-law at all. He thought how handsome the Gao family was, but the daughter-in-law and the granddaughter looked like black bears. When the younger son wanted to marry this wife, he firmly disagreed, but the younger son was so determined that he couldn't stop her. After getting married, Tian Chunfang was quite successful. She gave birth to two eldest grandsons, and the eldest grandsons all looked like the Gao family, so he felt better. + +But in the end, he gave birth to a granddaughter who was as black as coal. She looked exactly like Xiao Tian Chunfang, and it was okay to look ugly. However, this little granddaughter also had the same brains as her mother. She was full of tofu and made countless jokes outside. It was really embarrassing. The granddaughter was from the Gao family. He couldn't help it no matter how angry he was. However, he was not so generous to Tian Chunfang, thinking that it was Tian Chunfang's fault. + +Tian Chunfang secretly rolled her eyes. Her father-in-law and mother-in-law had always looked down upon her. How could she not know? However, they were Yuzhu's biological parents. No matter how dissatisfied she was, she couldn't get angry, so she had to avoid meeting them as much as possible, and they didn't live together anyway. + +Gao Yuzhu was still very filial to his parents. When he saw Mr. Gao speaking, he stopped and asked Mr. Gao to sit down with a smile, and then asked Tian Chunfang to make tea. Tian Chunfang curled his lips and went to make tea reluctantly. + +"Yuzhu, I told you a long time ago not to run into the Tian family. We are like eggs and they are rocks. How can an egg get better when it hits a stone? You just don't listen and insist on fighting for the upper hand." Mr. Gao persuaded his younger son earnestly. + +Of course he wasn't willing to give in. He thought that back then, the Gao family was considered a respectable family in his hometown. If it wasn't for the war and natural disasters that made life difficult, why would they have fled to Yuequan Village to live a life with their tail between their legs? But people have to bow their heads under the eaves. Now that they have reached this point, they can only think of ways to live a better life at home first. And now it seems that there is at least one benefit to Yuequan Village. At least their wealth is cleared. If they are still in their hometown, they will be either rich peasants or upper-middle peasants. + +"Father, just watch. In a few days, our Gao family will be able to hold our heads high and live as good people in Yuequan Village as before!" Gao Yuzhu still tells the truth in front of his biological father. + +Mr. Gao looked at the younger son hesitantly. He had two sons in total. The eldest son was honest and the woman he found was also a responsible person. He knew how to work in the mud all day long, but the younger son had a sharp mind. He also hoped that the younger son could lead the Gao family to restore its former glory. + +Gao Yuzhu whispered in his father's ear. Mr. Gao hesitated for a while and said hesitantly: "I think it's a bit mysterious, Yuzhu, we'd better be safe. If this doesn't work, our Gao family won't be able to stay in Yuequan Village any longer." + +"Dad, don't think too much about it. Even if it doesn't work, with my brother-in-law protecting us in the town, who dares to drive our Gao family away?" Gao Yuzhu is not worried at all. His brother-in-law has been promoted again during this time, so what else is he afraid of? His father is afraid of wolves before and tigers behind, so he can't achieve great things. + +Mr. Gao was still a little worried, but he also knew that his younger son's wings were stiff and he would no longer listen to him, so he could only warn him again and again, and returned to his eldest son's house worried. + +Tian Xinhua worked absent-mindedly all afternoon. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't remember what was wrong. Suddenly his eyes lit up, yes, why didn't he think of it? Tian Xinhua threw down the hatchet in his hand and shouted to Tian Qinghua: "You can take my firewood back later." + +After finishing speaking, Tian Qinghua ran towards the place where the old man was working without waiting for an answer. He remembered that the old man was grazing cattle at the foot of the mountain in the afternoon. Tian Xinhua ran towards the slopes with abundant wild grass. Sure enough, he saw the old man and Tang Tieshan mowing the grass without stopping. In front of them, there were four big buffaloes eating delicious grass leisurely, their tails wagging non-stop, and they mooed a few times.(To be continued.) \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/09/eng_cont/i_0092.txt b/09/eng_cont/i_0092.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..c2fcdc00e6d93fa3eaa2f3ace19948b5b10b9de4 --- /dev/null +++ b/09/eng_cont/i_0092.txt @@ -0,0 +1,55 @@ +Chapter 92 suspicious. + +"Grandpa, Grandpa Tang," Tian Xinhua greeted them.

The old man knew that his great-nephew would not be innocent, so he simply threw away his sickle and called Tang Tieshan to go to the shade of the tree together. + +"I just thought of something very wrong. Although Gao Hongmei has always been at odds with A-nan, she always resisted provoking A-nan in the past. At most, she just ignored A-nan. According to Gao Hongmei's stubborn character, it is definitely because the adults in the family have warned her that she did not dare to provoke A-nan." + +After hearing Tian Xinhua's analysis, the old man's expression became solemn and he motioned for Tian Xinhua to continue. Tian Xinhua was encouraged and continued: "But Gao Hongmei at noon was very different from before. Not only did she actively provoke Grandma, but she also dared to scold her so harshly. I think Gao Hongmei got an instruction, or a hint, and felt that she didn't need to be as afraid of our Tian family as before, so she dared to be so bold." + +Finally, Tian Xinhua breathed a sigh of relief and said, "So I think the problem should be with Gao Yuzhu. I can't see through Gao Yuzhu at all. I think he wants to do harm to our Tian family, or to bring down our Tian family. But I didn't think about where Gao Yuzhu wants to start." + +Tian Xinhua had a look of confusion on his face, and he didn't know if his idea was right. He looked at the old man anxiously, wanting to know his attitude. + +Tang Tieshan looked at the old man enviously."Old brother, your grandnephew is incredible. If it were for a war, he would be a military strategist! Alas, why is your Tian family's fault for the feng shui? Your granddaughter is handsome and your grandson is smart. Your Tian family ancestors have really accumulated virtue for eight lifetimes." + +The old man smiled proudly, but said modestly: "Isn't your Qiubai also a good talent? Let's stop praising each other. Come on, Old Tang, you can analyze it together. What does Gao Yuzhu want to do?" + +"Xinhua also came to consult with us. Young people have quick minds. We two old guys didn't think anything was wrong like today. The young man deserves praise." + +The old man did not hesitate to praise his grandnephew, and he was really pleased. Generally speaking, as long as a generation can have one outstanding descendant, it is a great blessing. The previous generation had a patriotism. It seems that there is more than one generation of this generation. The three children like Shouhua, Xinhua, and Jianguo are all good, but the following ones are a bit younger. Let's wait and see again in a few years. It seems that Grandma is really a blessed child. If the Tian family really obeys the old man's words, it will prosper for at least a hundred years! + +Tian Xinhua, who received the praise, had bright eyes and a bit of pride on his face. The old man smiled and shook his head. After all, it was still a little too small. At that moment, he pointed out: + +"A true master will not let others know what he is thinking. You obviously want to kill that person, but you still have to pretend to be good friends with him. This is the real power. Your uncle and I can't achieve this. It depends on whether you juniors can do it?" + +Tian Xinhua immediately calmed down the expression on his face and became calm again. The old man nodded with satisfaction. Children can be taught, so the Tian family's second little fox was trained by the old man. + +Tang Tieshan smiled as he watched the old man giving instructions to his grandnephew.

Lao Zhang's name is Zhang Zimo, and he is also their life-and-death friend, but unlike them, Lao Zhang has drank foreign ink, and is he a teacher at Peking University? + +In the past, in the army, Lao Tian and Lao Zhang were old partners, one was the division commander and the other was the staff officer. Lao Tian often called Lao Zhang "Old Fox", while Lao Zhang called Lao Tian "Jianjin".

The old man comforted himself. + +Tang Tieshan thought of a method that Lao Zhang had said before, and said: "Since we don't know how Gao Yuzhu is going to do it, let's analyze it backwards.

The two families now don't have to worry about running out of things when giving gifts. If a piece of good stuff is given out, it is definitely a big gift. Both the giver and the recipient will look good. + +Then Tian Mantong took out the money from selling the wine and divided it. He explained that because of He Xuewen, the price of selling wine this time was 50 cents per pound than before, so each portion was 50 yuan more. 50 yuan was not a small amount. The Tian family had a better impression of He Xuewen and truly regarded He Xuewen as one of their own. + +Tian Shouhua was there in the evening, because he had stewed a snake during the day, so the old man called his younger brother and several other men to eat the snake, and also discuss Gao Yuzhu's affairs. After Tian Shouhua heard this, he thought for a while and said: + +"I think it's not only Grandpa Tang's work that can be done, but Uncle He can also do it. Uncle He helps the villagers sell local products. If Gao Yuzhu accuses Uncle He of taking the capitalist road, Uncle He will be in great trouble." + +Tian Shouhua's words made everyone nod their heads. It was their negligence. He Xuewen's matter was indeed very worthy of making a fuss about. Tian Sisi was the most anxious, "What should we do? Otherwise, my father should stop selling local products for the villagers." + +Mrs. Zhao and Zhu Aiqing also meant the same thing, and both asked He Xuewen not to help sell local products. Tian Manyin felt sour when he saw the anxious faces of his mother, wife and daughter. This good appearance was just an advantage. How many days had it been? All the women in the family sided with He Xuewen. + +He Xuewen smiled faintly and reassured: "Aunt Zhao and my siblings don't have to worry. Didn't Gao Yuzhu dare to be so arrogant because of his brother-in-law who is a rebel in the town? Tomorrow, Brother Mantong will send me to Suicheng City. I will find a friend and ask him to say hello to the director of the Wangjia Town Revolutionary Committee and demote Gao Yuzhu's brother-in-law." + +He Xuewen spoke lightly, as if such a troublesome matter was as easy as drinking water for him. The old man glanced at He Xuewen in surprise. It seemed that he still underestimated A'nan's biological father. He didn't expect that He Xuewen had such great energy in Suicheng. In this case, the enemies of the He family didn't know who were the powerful people, so that He Xuewen didn't dare to meet him head-on even though he had such great energy? + +Tang Tieshan also looked at He Xuewen with admiration. In the past, he only regarded He Xuewen as an ordinary speculative small businessman, and he still looked down on him deep down. But now it seems that he has made a mistake. + +He Xuewen is definitely not an ordinary businessman. The water is deep! Because the old man did not explain He Xuewen's true identity to Tang Tieshan, Tang Tieshan did not know that He Xuewen had a deep hatred. + +When the Tian family saw that a troublesome matter was easily solved by He Xuewen, their faces lit up with joy. Tian Bajin smiled and said: "That's good, but you have to work hard to study Wen. The big things outside will be solved by Xuewen, and I will take care of the small things in the village. After dinner, I will discuss it with Boqiang and take down Gao Yuzhu's accountant. Damn it, Yuequan Village has a white-eyed wolf?" + +"Who should the village accountant ask to take over?" Tian Manmu asked. + +"That's not easy, let Tian Chunsheng, Tian Chunfang's second brother, take over. Tian Shuimiao originally wanted to pass the position to his second son, but Gao Yuzhu later intercepted him, so Gao Yuzhu became the accountant. Now Tian Chunsheng is the accountant, and Tian Shuimiao's family can't say anything about it." Tian Bajin said confidently.(To be continued.) + +ps: Thank you to many dear readers for their support to Laoyang. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. I wish you all a happy New Year in advance!

Furthermore, Tian Chunsheng was a conscientious person, unlike Gao Yuzhu who was a bad person. He always had to check the accounts for a long time, which was both brain-consuming and time-consuming. + +It turns out that Tian Manmu has to go to the villages under the commune to check the accounts every year.

Tian Xinhua remembered and asked. + +"Look, why don't you keep an eye on me? You guys have nothing to do anyway, so just do this job during this period. If you do well, I will be rewarded." Tian Mantong generously promised. He had not dealt with Gao Yuzhu since he was a child, and the two were mortal enemies. + +When the children heard that there was a reward, they were all excited. Poor Gao Yuzhu was still dreaming about overthrowing the Tian family. Little did he know that the Tian family had deduced his plan based on just a few clues from his daughter, which also brought big trouble to the Gao family. It is a pity that the world did not know about this medicine earlier. If there was, Gao Yuzhu would definitely buy it and eat it. + +The snake soup was very delicious, and everyone was full of praise. Tian Sisi wanted to take credit for her contribution. She vividly told the story of catching the snake in the morning. Mrs. Zhao couldn't help chanting Buddha, holding her body and asking: + +"Are you scared, grandma? I told you not to go to the mountains in the future. Do you think you have ever gone to the mountains without causing some trouble?" + +"Mother, I'm not a child anymore. How can I be so timid? Besides, don't you think I'm fine every time?" + +Tian Sisi is a tough talker. She will not admit that she was scared to death by this snake in the morning, otherwise the empress will definitely not let her go up the mountain in the future. The last time she fell into a pit, she begged for several days before she was released. + +"It's okay. Most of the mountains are black snakes and cauliflower snakes. It's nothing important. Children can't be kept at home every day. They need to run around in the mountains and breathe the aura of heaven and earth to grow well." + +Because the old man practices internal martial arts, he pays great attention to the unity of heaven, earth and man. Children at home are often asked to go to the mountains to exercise. + +Tian Sisi grinned. He flattered the old man and poured him a glass of wine. Since the old man was getting better and better, he could drink more wine like this with the addition of agar liquor. Everyone looked at the little girl's quirky appearance and smiled kindly. + +Tian Manyin deliberately coughed a few times. Tian Sisi hurriedly ran to her father to add some wine. Then added it to everyone present. Because it can strengthen the body, everyone in the Tian family, men, women, old and young, now drinks this wine. + +After eating, everyone took their places. Tian Bajin went to Zhong Boqiang's house to discuss the matter, while Tian Manmu went to Tian Chunsheng's house. He had to talk to Tian Chunsheng first and let him suppress his family, so that when Tian Chunfang ran to her parents' house for help, Tian Shuimiao couldn't help her daughter's plea and stood up to plead for mercy, making everyone look bad. + +He Xuewen and Tian Mantong went to rest early because they were going to Suicheng the next day. He also asked Tian Sisi for two bottles of special Qiong wine. He asked Tian Sisi to prepare it specially. It would have less Qiong liquid than the Qiong wine he drank, and would be half as effective. This was something he had thought about for a long time. + +He planned to use these diluted wines as gifts. He did not dare to bring out other wines, but the diluted wines were fine. Most people only thought that this wine had a fitness effect and associated it with medicinal wine. Then he would just lie to people and say that it was a special medicinal wine brewed with seven or forty-nine herbs. + +He Xuewen came back that day. The Hotan family said that his friend had already said hello to the director of the Revolutionary Committee. Within a month, Gao Yuzhu's brother-in-law would be demoted. The Tian family were very happy. As long as Gao Yuzhu lost his brother-in-law as a backer, he would not dare to have any more evil thoughts. + +He Xuewen was also very happy. This friend liked the wine he sent very much. Of course, he was talking about medicinal wine in front of his friends. The friend who got the wine promised to introduce him to the people above him. He Xuewen traveled around over the years and met many important government officials, but they were only local ones. + +The local officials only have some influence in the local area, but they are not good compared with the higher-ups. They are not enough to compete with his enemies. He has been trying hard to contact the people above him over the years, but there has been no movement.

Thinking of being able to take revenge in the future, he feels a lot more relaxed. + +Gao Yuzhu has been a little uneasy these days. Things have not been going well at home recently, and nothing has gone as planned. The same goes for his brother-in-law. I heard that his immediate boss doesn't know what's wrong.

He has been criticized by name several times in meetings. + +The brother-in-law is the biggest supporter of the Gao family. If something happens to the brother-in-law, Gao Yuzhu will have to be beaten to his original form again. No, he has to think of a way. He can't just sit back and wait for death. + +Gao Yuzhu, who had calculated the village's accounts, didn't want to go out for a stroll. He went straight back home and rummaged around. Tian Chunfang was coming back from feeding pigs in the backyard and saw Gao Yuzhu looking through the camphor wood box she brought as a dowry. The most important property in the family was placed there. Tian Chunfang became anxious at that moment, "What are you rummaging through in the box?" + +"Where's our family's money? I clearly remember putting it here? Was it stolen by a mouse? Impossible?" + +Gao Yuzhu was very puzzled. He was a very careful person. He would wrap the money at home in several layers of cloth and put it at the bottom of the box. But why couldn't he find it no matter how hard he looked? + +Tian Chunfang's expression changed. She didn't expect that Yuzhu would suddenly think of asking for money. Although Yuzhu was in charge of the money at home, he didn't spend much money at most. He only looked at it during the New Year and holidays. That's why she dared to lend the money to her eldest brother's family. The eldest brother was going to marry his eldest nephew in a while, and the family didn't have enough money. When she found out, she lent her family's savings of 300 yuan to her eldest brother's family. + +Tian Chunfang is not stupid. She knows that her biggest help is her family.

Don't be angry!" + +It can only be said that Tian Chunfang, a woman, likes Gao Yuzhu too much. In other words, she is infatuated. She has lost her dignity for a heartless man.

What a disgrace to Sri Town. + +"Brother Qiu Sheng has almost bought all the things he needs to do, right? Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, Brother Qiu Sheng is about to marry a wife. Within a year of the new wife coming in, Brother Qiu Sheng will definitely be able to have a grandson. Alas, my family, Chaohua, doesn't know when I will have a grandson."

A farmer has no talent. It is better to get married early and have more grandchildren to contribute to the Tian family."

Unlike the Tian family, he is fair and delicate, like his uncle, who is sweet-tongued and can make trouble, and is willing to endure hardships. He found his wife by himself. She is his high school classmate. His family lives on the edge of Baita Town. It is an hour away from Yuequan Village and drives a tractor. Both parents are capable people, with good conditions and good looks. + +Tian Qiusheng was speechless by Tian Manmu's words, but when he thought about the money for poor work, his face fell again, and he hesitated for a long time before he said with difficulty: + +"Manmu, brother Qiusheng, I am really shameless when I come to your door today. You must do this for me this time. I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life, brother." + +Tian Manmu hurriedly said, "Brother Qiusheng, what are you saying? If you have difficulties, just say them. I will definitely help if I can. What kind of friendship do we have? There's no need for such empty talk." +Tian Qiusheng was very grateful. He organized the words in his mind and then said the purpose of his visit, "I just want to borrow some money from you. This time the work is still a bit short. Don't worry, as long as the banquet is completed, I will pay back the money. There will be no delay." + +After stammering the first sentence, Tian Qiusheng felt much more relaxed, and his next words became much smoother. He continued: + +"Oh, I wasn't bad off at first. Chunfang lent me three hundred yuan. Who would have thought that in the afternoon, Chunfang would come to me covered in injuries, begging for money.

Hmph, I said from the very beginning that this guy was no good, but my dad and Chunfang were as if possessed, dead set on that pretty-faced scoundrel. Now they're suffering the consequences, aren't they." +Tian Qiuchang sighed. He didn't blame his sister. Although he had some resentment in the past few years, he was his biological sister after all. How could he blame him for the rest of his life? When he saw Chunfang's injuries in the afternoon, he wanted to rush to Gao's house and beat up that bastard Gao Yuzhu. However, his wife stopped him, saying that a happy event was about to happen and the family was at peace. + +Furthermore, Chunfang was still utterly devoted to that bastard. If he rushed over to teach him a lesson, that fool Chunfang might even resent him for meddling. He also felt that his wife made a valid point, so he suppressed the anger in his heart, spared Gao Yuzhu, and decided to wait until after the wedding to deal with it. +"That guy Gao Yuzhu is really not a thing. He and Brother Qiu Sheng are not from the same family. Look at the immoral things his little girl did a few days ago. We have worked so hard to hide it for ten years, but she opened her mouth and revealed it. At that time, my family was so angry that they really wanted to beat that Gao Yuzhu to death.

Tian Qiusheng kept saying gratefully, "It's too much, three hundred yuan is enough." + +"It's okay. You can get more. Pinggui's wedding is a big event. We have to make it lively for Pinggui. It doesn't matter if the money comes later. Our family has nothing major to do in the past two years. You can use it without worry." + +Tian Bajin said it very cheerfully, mainly because Tian Qiusheng and his wife are both responsible people, and there is absolutely no way they would default on paying back the money. If it were a virtuous family like Zhong Liangcai or Gao Yuzhu, he would not borrow a penny. + +Tian Qiusheng didn't hesitate after thinking about it. This wedding didn't cost that much. The main reason was that the bride price for the woman was 200 yuan in cash. When he and his wife heard about the 200 yuan gift, they were shocked. + +In their Yuequan Village, the most a family ever charged for marrying off a daughter was a hundred yuan, and some even charged fifty or eighty. No family had ever asked for a betrothal gift of two hundred yuan. At the time, he even advised his son Pinggui not to marry this girl, saying, "Can't we just find another girl who doesn't ask for a two-hundred-yuan betrothal gift?" +But Pinggui was determined to marry this 200-yuan girl, and he also said that he had made an agreement with his future daughter-in-law that the 200 yuan would be spent at the bride's house. Once the girl got married, she would repay the 200 yuan and 150 yuan to the family to pay off the debt, and the remaining 50 yuan would be used as packing money. + +It turns out there was a custom in Baita Town: on the day of a daughter's wedding, the bride price sent by the groom's family had to be counted out in front of the relatives during the wedding feast. The more money, the more face the bride's family had, and it also made it seem that the bride was valued by the groom's family. Therefore, some young people from poor families were reluctant to marry a girl from Baita Town, because they could not afford the bride price. +Tian Pinggui and his future wife truly love each other. The girl is also a sensible person. Upon learning that her future father-in-law had gone into debt everywhere for her bride price, she felt very sorry. However, this bride price was set by her parents. First, they cherished their daughter. Second, in order to save face in front of relatives and friends, it was not easy for her to tell her parents to take less gift money. Fortunately, her parents truly loved their daughter and said that they would not keep any of the two hundred yuan and would use all of it as their daughter's dowry. +That's why she secretly told Tian Pinggui to ask his parents to borrow money. After the banquet was held, she would take out 150 yuan to pay off the debt to her parents-in-law. Tian Pinggui was so happy that he hugged her and took a bite. After listening to his son's words, Tian Qiusheng became more fond of his future daughter-in-law and told his wife that he must treat his daughter-in-law well in the future. She is really a sensible and good girl. + +Tian Qiusheng also told Tian Bajin and Tian Manmu about this matter, and the purpose was to make them believe that their family was able to repay their debts. Tian Bajin and Tian Manmu both had a good impression of the bride they had never met, and they said to Tian Qiusheng: + +"Then you and your wife must treat your daughter-in-law well in the future. Don't imitate other unintelligent adults who think that subduing their daughter-in-law is the only thing you can do. These people are all looking after their own concerns. You are so lucky to have such a sensible daughter-in-law." + +"That's right, our Tian family is lucky to have such a good daughter-in-law. We must treat her like our own daughter." Tian Qiusheng looked happy. He took the money and thanked Tian Bajin and Tian Manmu repeatedly before going home. + +After Tian Qiusheng left, Tian Manmu said to Tian Bajin, "I don't know who Gao Yuzhu is planning to follow in the town? It seems that he is going to spend a lot of money this time!" + +"Whose connections can we still use? It's none other than the Revolutionary Committee director." +Tian Bajin said contemptuously, as soon as Xinhua came back and said that Gao Yuzhu forced Tian Chunfang to go back to her eldest brother to ask for money, they knew what Gao Yuzhu wanted to do. It seemed that his brother-in-law was in trouble now. He Xuewen was really capable. + +"The director of the Revolutionary Committee was greeted by a friend who studied literature. It seems that Gao Yuzhu's money will be wasted." Tian Manmu's tone was relaxed and he was in a very good mood. + +Gao Yuzhu walked to town early the next morning, carrying one hundred and fifty yuan in his pocket, and gave half of his belongings to help his brother-in-law. Gao Yuzhu's heart was full of holes, but thinking of the good days in the future, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and give out half of his belongings. + +Originally, he wanted to ask Zhong Fugao to send him to the town, but Zhong Boqiang was not interested in Gao Yuzhu, and after listening to Tian Bajin's words, he would not let his son help him. When Gao Yuzhu went to find Zhong Fugao, Zhong Fugao was repairing the tractor in the yard. + +Gao Yuzhu, who didn't have a ride, had to rely on the No. 11 bus to walk to the town bit by bit. He was filled with hatred in his heart. Hmph, when I get prosperous in the future, I will clean up all you bastards who look down on others. Do you think I don't know that you, Zhong Fugao, are acting? Yesterday the tractor was still chugging along happily, and it breaks down as soon as I go? You're lying to a three-year-old baby! +Gao Yuzhu was scolding all the way, and finally reached the town at almost noon. He went directly to his brother-in-law's house, thinking to talk to his little sister first, but he didn't expect that his brother-in-law was also at home, drinking alone with a cup, while his little sister was washing clothes in the yard. Seeing Gao Yuzhu coming, she quickly wiped her hands and called Gao Yuzhu to come in and sit down. + +Gao Yuzhu's younger sister is named Gao Yulan.

She would be the stepmother after this marriage, and no one would be willing to change her. + +The eldest brother and the mother-in-law also objected, but Gao Yuzhu persuaded the father, who knelt down in front of her and begged her at an old age.

Just looking at it made people appetite. + +He Xuewen and Yang Wenbin smiled at each other, shook their heads, and ignored Master Wang. They raised their wine glasses, clinked them, and ate. The wine was the ordinary shochu prepared by He Xuewen, but Yang Wenbin was amazed by the taste. He bought hundreds of kilograms of wine from He Xuewen some time ago. He didn't want to sell it, so he planned to give it away. The leaders in the army liked this kind of good wine very much. + +It turned out that this Yang Wenbin was from Beijing, and his family members all held important positions in the army, so he dared to engage in such high-risk business in this era. Moreover, it was Yang Wenbin who helped Gao Yuzhu this time. He just asked one of his friends to make a phone call to the director of the Revolutionary Committee in Suicheng City, and the matter was settled. + +Originally, Yang Wenbin didn't have to come in person to collect dried bamboo shoots, mainly because He Xuewen said that this wine can be brewed with good water and good grain from Yuequan Village, and also uses good medicinal materials from Yuequan Mountain. He Xuewen was referring to diluted Qiong wine. + +What he told Yang Wenbin at that time was the medicinal wine brewed from the Seven Seven Forty-Nine Medicine Village. That was why Yang Wenbin took action personally this time. He wanted to see what kind of Feng Shui treasure Yuequan Village was. It not only had the good water, food and medicine to brew such good wine, but also healed He Xuewen's dilapidated body. + +Yang Wenbin also heard about He Xuewen's life experience, but he didn't care at all. He was a businessman, and he would be friendly with anyone who could bring him benefits. Besides, he also knew He Xuewen's big enemy. Although he was a figure, Yang Wenbin was not a nobody, but he was not afraid of him. + +But that person was in politics, and the Yang family was in the military, so neither party could control the other, and even if he wanted to help, he couldn't do anything. This time, the medicinal wine that He Xuewen brought out reminded him that the other political boss who was tit-for-tat with his enemy was a very good drinker, and he was very particular about health preservation. As long as he used this medicinal wine to pave the way, and wanted to use He Xuewen's intelligence, it would not be a problem to make friends with that boss.(To be continued.) \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/09/eng_cont/i_0101.txt b/09/eng_cont/i_0101.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..3424bfb10766c187377a9caf21234d31a89f6dd6 --- /dev/null +++ b/09/eng_cont/i_0101.txt @@ -0,0 +1,61 @@ +Chapter 101 Wine Commander. + +Outside the door, Gao Yuzhu watched helplessly as He Xuewen and the bespectacled man, who looked like a big shot with extraordinary bearing, walked into the restaurant and watched as He Xuewen ordered so many good dishes without blinking an eye.

How could this person be so sour compared to other people? + +He Xuewen had actually seen Gao Yuzhu at the door a long time ago. Seeing his pitiful look, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart. He didn't sympathize with him at all. He was in a good mood this time because he found his daughter, so he didn't do anything harsh. He just asked Yang Wenbin to tell his friend to demote Wang Shouwang. Gao Yuzhu only asked him not to work as an accountant, which would not hurt his vitality. If it had been in the past when he was more violent, Wang Shouwang and Gao Yuzhu would have been beaten to death by him. + +"Xuewen, does the man at the door know you? I saw him looking in several times." Yang Wenbin had already noticed Gao Yuzhu peeking his head at the door. He was very unhappy with this man. He had a vulgar and sneaky image. + +"This person is the Gao Yuzhu I mentioned to you before. He wants to report me as a bad element who follows the capitalist line. I think he probably wants to come to town to help his brother-in-law." He Xuewen said lightly. + +When Yang Wenbin heard this, he disliked Gao Yuzhu even more. He came from a military family. Although he was not a soldier himself, he was still deeply influenced by the army. What he couldn't stand the most was the villain who caused trouble behind the scenes. He frowned and said: + +"Even if he sent Jinshan over, no one would dare to intercede for his brother-in-law. Xuewen, I think you are still too soft-hearted. You have to hit the snake seven inches away and cut the weeds to get rid of the roots. This is just because the demotion is too intimidating. You can't be soft-hearted towards the enemy." + +He Xuewen smiled and shook his head, "Forget it, I have just recognized my goddaughter, so I have to be virtuous, so I'd better leave others a line in everything. Besides, this Gao Yuzhu and that Wang Shouwang are not my enemies. They are just two ignorant people. Let's teach them a small lesson this time." + +Gao Yuzhu didn't hear it. If he heard He Xuewen's words, he would definitely burst into tears. Your little lesson has caused him to lose half of his fortune. If you are serious about it. Are you going to kill him? This is the truth about Gao Yuzhu. If He Xuewen had his previous temper, he would really kill Gao Yuzhu and Wang Shouwang. + +Yang Wenbin didn’t say much. In his opinion, these two people are just incompetent grasshoppers. They are not worthy of his extra saliva. If he has time, he might as well drink more wine! + +Master Wang looked at these two guys with greedy eyes as they drank the wine one after another. His eyes were almost glowing green. He was also a wine commander. He could smell it but not drink it. His heart felt like a few mice were clawing at him, and he felt very uncomfortable. + +"Master Wang, don't be greedy. I'll make sure you drink enough when we get to Yuequan Village in the evening." He Xuewen said funny. + +"Okay, I'm going to drink to my heart's content tonight. Damn it, I'm so hungry. Brother He, you made really good wine. This is the first time I've had such a good wine. If I could drink such good wine every day, I wouldn't trade it even for a god." Master Wang was generous with his praise. + +Master Wang is a retired automobile soldier from Yang Wenbin's eldest brother's army. He is skilled in driving, has good skills, and is also very capable of doing things. He looks rough on the outside, but is very detailed on the inside. He can take into account many details. What's more, Master Wang has a very strict mouth. He never tells third parties about work matters. Even his wife and children always think that he is the driver of the transportation team. + +The only shortcoming of Master Wang is that he is a good drinker. However, although he is a good drinker, he is very principled when it comes to drinking. He does not drink while driving, while doing errands, or in front of strangers, and even if he drinks, he never gets drunk. Therefore, Yang Wenbin trusts him very much, and many businesses are handled by Master Wang. He can be said to be Yang Wenbin's right-hand assistant. + +"Hejia Wine was a well-known wine in the country back then. You are lucky to be able to drink the wine brewed by an heir of the Hejia family." Yang Wenbin said with a smile. + +"Hehe!" Master Wang smiled naively. + +In the kitchen, the father and daughter Niu Sanxian and Niu Guiyuan were enjoying Chinese food. They had a bowl of fried tofu, a bowl of braised pork, and a bowl of stir-fried vegetables. Niu Sanxian was eating the braised pork with great pleasure. He was surprised to see that his daughter did not eat even a piece of meat today. "Guiyuan, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" + +"No, dad, I want to lose weight. I won't eat meat from today on, and you won't eat it in the future either. I'll watch you eat it. I feel bad, so we both shouldn't eat it." Fat Longan took a bite of green vegetables and looked away from the bowl of braised pork that was full of color and flavor. + +Niu Sanxian immediately grimaced, "Guiyuan, if you want to lose weight, don't drag your father and me. Your mother won't let me eat meat at home, and you won't let me eat meat in the store. What's the point of being a human being, father?" + +Guiyuan relented, "How about you cook less meat in the future, just for one person. If you want to eat, don't eat it in front of me. I will definitely be greedy if I see it. Dad, remember, only cook vegetables for me." + +"Guiyuan, don't you look great now? Dad doesn't think you are fat at all. My daughter, let's not lose weight. How uncomfortable will it be if we don't eat meat?" + +Niu Sanxian really thinks that his daughter is very beautiful, she is as white and fat as a big meat bun, how handsome she is! Those men who think his daughter is fat are blind. + +"No, I want to lose weight. My father blames you. If you hadn't made me eat so much meat since I was a child, I would definitely be as slim as my mother." + +Fat Guiyuan hated her father to death. It was not a good thing to have a father who cooked delicious food. She had never lacked meat since she was a child, and she ate like this. + +Niu Sanxian shut up immediately. Well, he should concentrate on eating meat. He could eat meat happily in a restaurant in just one day. His wife at home was in charge, so he could only eat vegetables. Suddenly, his nose sniffed hard like a dog. It smelled so good. This wine was definitely not the wine in the store. There was no such good wine in his shabby store. + +"Guiyuan, have today's guests bought wine?" + +"No, I just ordered four dishes and two pounds of rice." + +They had brought their own wine. Niu Sanxian walked out of the kitchen with his rice bowl. He Xuewen was the only guest at the table today at noon, so he easily found the soju on the table. Niu Sanxian rushed to He Xuewen's table at a speed that was extremely inconsistent with his fat body, picked up the wine bottle on the table and sniffed it vigorously. + +He Xuewen and the others were startled by the sudden appearance of the fat man. Master Wang reacted quickly and stood up to protect Yang Wenbin. However, seeing that this man was wearing a white coat and just holding the wine bottle and sniffing hard.

He loved drinking, especially Hejia wine, but he hadn't drank it for more than ten years. Hearing that the He family was ruined by someone, the father and son lamented at the time that they would never drink good wine again. Unexpectedly, today he would meet Hejia wine again. Could it be that the He family was not dead? + +He Xuewen was not only impressed by the ordinary fat cook in front of him, but his ability to identify wine was not something ordinary people could have. When he thought about his skills that were comparable to those of a famous chef, it seemed that this fat cook was not an ordinary person either. Unexpectedly, this small town was full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. + +"Comrade, you are flattered. This wine is just ordinary shochu. How can it be compared with Hejia wine?" He Xuewen did not want to use the name of Hejia wine. His current strength was still too low and he should not be too high-profile. + +Niu Sanxian thought for a moment and understood He Xuewen's concerns. He looked at He Xuewen and couldn't help but cheer loudly in his heart. He is really a god-like figure! No wonder that damn girl Guiyuan is clamoring to lose weight, but isn’t she a little too old? To say that Niu Sanxian is also a strange thing, He Xuewen didn't even say that he wanted to marry your daughter, so you think he is too old. + +"Yes, it's ordinary soju, but the craftsmanship of the winemaker is extraordinary. Comrade, please wait for me and I'll bring you some food." + +Niu Sanxian ran back to the kitchen in a hurry, brought out a bowl of meat and a bowl of fried tofu, placed them on He Xuewen's table, and sat down without any hesitation. + +Upon seeing this, Yang Wenbin poured a glass of wine for Niu Sanxian in a very polite manner. Inviting him to drink together, Niu Sanxian raised his glass and clinked it with them, took a sip and sighed with satisfaction: + +"What a great wine! I haven't had such a good wine in years. Where did you buy this wine?" + +Yang Wenbin smiled and nuzzled at He Xuewen. Niu Sanxian's eyes lit up and he hurriedly whispered to He Xuewen: "Comrade, can you get some for me? Don't worry, we will enter the village quietly and we will definitely not disturb other people." + +He Xuewen and others were all amused by Niu Sanxian's words. He Xuewen didn't say yes or no. Just hanging Niu Sanxian like this, pouring him wine constantly, the few of them talked and laughed together for less than half an hour. The eighteenth generation of Niu Sanxian's ancestors, as well as his current sons and grandsons, were dug out by two foxes, He Xuewen and Yang Wenbin. + +"I just said that this dish is even more delicious than the one in Louwailou. It turns out that Master Niu is the descendant of the famous Chef Niu in Louwailou. It is indeed much more delicious than the current sheep chef. The young master of Louwailou really has no vision. He picked up sesame seeds and lost the watermelon." He Xuewen was very good at talking, and he made Niu Sanxian smile with a few words. + +"It can't be said that the Yang family is not good at cooking. It's just that each family has its own characteristics. Moreover, the Shaodong family later personally invited me and my father to come out, but my father refused." + +Niu Sanxian is a kind person and is unwilling to speak ill of people behind their backs. Therefore, in his words, he still defends his former employer and Chef Yang's family who took away their family's status. + +He Xuewen and Yang Wenbin were very fond of this Niu Sanxian. He was hospitable, straightforward, kind, and did not talk about people behind their backs. He was a friend they could make friends with. + +"Then why don't Mr. Niu and Brother Sanxian refuse to come back? Logically speaking, being a chef in the building outside the building is much more respectable than working in this small restaurant, and the salary is much better." Yang Wenbin asked. + +"Firstly, my father was getting old at that time and he didn't want to go out. Secondly, there is no room for two tigers in the same mountain. There is no enmity between our Niu family and Yang family. If we really work together, we will definitely compete for superiority, which is meaningless. Furthermore, I feel that I have the freedom to cook in a small restaurant. I have the final say. I can cook whatever I want. It's quite comfortable. I don't have to go to a big hotel and suffer the idleness." + +Although Niu Sanxian gave three reasons, both He Xuewen and Yang Wenbin could guess right. I am afraid that the second point is the reason why Niu Sanxian and his son are unwilling to come back, so they have a better impression of Niu Sanxian and his son. + +"Brother Sanxian, I don't have this wine now. If you can wait, we can bring you some tomorrow, do you think it's okay?" He Xuewen let down his guard against Niu Sanxian. He thought he still had a good eye for people, and Niu Sanxian was a trustworthy person. + +"You have to wait until tomorrow? Don't you have any wine on you now? You've hooked the drinking bug out of me. How are you going to spend tonight?" Niu Sanxian had a bitter look on his face. He had drank a few small glasses of wine, but he couldn't satisfy his craving at all. + +"If you want to have a good drink, you can only follow me to Brother He's house to drink. You can drink as much as you want then, but we will leave after a while. You are at work, so you should just wait for tomorrow." Yang Xuewen deliberately teased him. + +Niu Sanxian drank so much that he didn't even bother to go to work. Besides, there were only a few customers in this shabby restaurant all day long, so his daughter could handle it all by herself. He then wiped the rice out of the bowl and said, "You guys wait for me for a while, I'll follow you and I'll clean up." + +He didn't even eat the meat, and quickly returned to the kitchen. After explaining to his daughter who was still nibbling vegetables, he took off his white coat and put on his jacket.

No one else could see what was inside. + +Before Guiyuan could react, her father carried the basket and ran out. She hurriedly ran out after him. Her father went out again and left the restaurant in her own hands. Hmm, what a beautiful thought! Guiyuan followed Niu Sanxian angrily and ran out, just in time to see her father and her sweetheart standing together. + +"Guiyuan, come here and recognize me.

The dried bamboo shoots collected from this village were all piled up in his house. There were several thousand kilograms of dried bamboo shoots in a whole room. These dried bamboo shoots were not only from Yuequan Village, but also from Jinkeng Village and other villages. + +The reason why these villages knew about He Xuewen's purchase of dried bamboo shoots was mainly because some girls who were married from Yuequan Village heard the news from their parents' families and secretly dried the dried bamboo shoots and took them back to their parents' homes to sell. For example, Jin Duofu's family dried more than 100 kilograms of dried bamboo shoots. It was the result of their family going up the mountain. A kilogram of dried bamboo shoots was 60. 8 cents, which was three cents more expensive than the purchasing station. One hundred kilograms was three yuan. + +The villagers were told by He Xuewen that every household had left twenty or thirty kilograms of dried bamboo shoots for the purchasing station to collect. Otherwise, the purchasing station would not be able to collect even a kilogram of dried bamboo shoots, and they would definitely become suspicious. He Xuewen was worried that the villagers were greedy for petty money and would not leave dozens of kilograms to the purchasing station, so he specifically told Tian Bajin and Zhong Boqiang to supervise the villagers. + +The price that He Xuewen sold to Yang Wenbin was 76 cents, and when Yang Wenbin was transported to big cities such as Shanghai, Hangzhou, and Suzhou, he would definitely be able to sell it for a high price of nearly 1 yuan. Therefore, all three parties were happy. He Xuewen was happy with the money, and He Xuewen was in a good mood after making a little fortune. Yang Wenbin had just seen the quality of the dried bamboo shoots. They were dry and tender. They were all top-grade dried bamboo shoots and would definitely be sold at a good price, so he was in a good mood. + +The two of them had money and goods, and Master Wang loaded the bags of dried bamboo shoots into the car. The dried bamboo shoots were not weighed, and the three or four thousand kilograms of dried bamboo shoots looked like hills. Master Wang jumped up and down skillfully, and first covered the dried bamboo shoots with a raincloth. Then he pulled a long rope and knotted it crosswise and up and down. In a short while, he wrapped the goods tightly, even if it rained heavily, he was not afraid of it. In addition, he also made a small corner empty, and Yang Wenbin would definitely pack some wine to go back later. + +When Tian Sisi saw the big truck in front of He Xuewen's house after school, she knew that her father was back. She put down her schoolbag and ran towards He's house happily. She didn't know if her father had bought a doll for her this time? + +Tian Sisi has liked dolls since she was a child, but her mother in her previous life was a tomboy. Not only did she not like them, but Tian Sisi was not allowed to like them. She felt that she was playing with them to lose her ambition. Therefore, every time Tian Sisi saw the beautiful dolls of various sizes in the mall, she could only sigh in despair. Now that she has a father who loves her, the wishes that she could not realize in her previous life must be fulfilled in this life no matter what! + +However, she was not sure if there were dolls for sale in Shanghai in the 1970s. She only vaguely mentioned it to He Xuewen last time. He Xuewen said angrily that he should have thought of it earlier. Of course girls have to play with dolls, not to mention such a cute and beautiful baby like him. He Xuewen promised Tian Sisi that when he went to Shanghai again, he would go to the mall to have a look and buy a beautiful doll for his daughter. + +Yang Wenbin and He Xuewen were sitting leisurely in the yard to rest. The breeze was blowing on their faces, and there were red flowers and green leaves. Yang Wenbin took a deep breath of the floral-scented air and said enviously: "Xuewen, you still know how to live. In the afternoon, you can bask in the sun in the yard, enjoy the flowers, and enjoy the wind. Such a day is so pleasant." + +"I'm just a poor guy struggling in the secular world. I choose to live here mainly because it's good for my body." He Xuewen laughed at himself. + +"Xuewen should not be so self-deprecating. I will introduce Mr. Yun for you when I am free for a while. As long as you can make good friends with Mr. Yun, your blood feud will be avenged soon." + +"I really want to thank you Wenbin this time. I won't say any more kind words.

This will not change for a hundred years. I swear by high fives." + +He Xuewen solemnly promised, and he had thought about it carefully. There was not only Yang Wenbin in the Yang family, but also other people. If he didn't get some benefits, he was not sure whether the other people in the Yang family would do their best to help.

Dad was so lazy that he didn't even want to boil water (actually He Xuewen didn't know how to boil water at all). + +He Xuewen took out a large doll that was half the height of Arita Sisi from the back room. It had blond hair, wore a pink dress, and could blink its eyes. Although not as exquisite and beautiful as those of later generations. But for now, it is already a very fashionable doll. It must have taken He Xuewen a lot of effort. + +"Thank you Dad, this doll is so beautiful. I will make many beautiful clothes for her to wear in the future." + +Tian Sisi was very happy. From now on, she can also dress up her dolls like her female classmates in her previous life. very nice! + +Seeing his daughter's happy smile, He Xuewen had long forgotten the hard work of buying dolls, "As long as grandma likes it. Dad will buy other dolls for grandma in the future and fill her bed with them." + +"Daddy, you are so kind. I like you the most." Tian Sisi gave him a kiss without hesitation, and He Xuewen was so happy that he fell from the immortal in the sky to the mortal world and became a mortal. + +Yang Wenbin curled his lips a little jealously. He only had two little boys and had never bought dolls. At most, he could only make wooden pistols for his two sons, and his son would never act coquettishly like Tian Sisi. + +No wonder Xuewen didn't feel tired even after visiting six or seven department stores in Shanghai. Being able to get his daughter's thanks and sweet kisses made it worth all the hard work. How about he work hard and have another little princess with his wife after he returns? + +Niu Sanxian came back humming a tune with his hands behind his back. As soon as he got off the car, he consciously went for a walk in the mountains. He expected to come back when the goods were ready. Brother Yang and Brother He looked like they were people with backgrounds, and they were doing big things that might get them shot. It was better for him to look less, ask less, and talk less. + +As soon as Niu Sanxian entered the yard, he saw two cute dolls in the yard, especially the girl doll, which really looked like the virgin in front of Guanyin Bodhisattva in the New Year painting. It was very pleasant to look at. He squinted and took out two dollars from his body for a long time, and embarrassedly handed them to the two little guys respectively, so that they could buy candies. + +"Thank you, uncle. Uncle, you look really blessed, just like the Bodhisattva, the God of Wealth." + +Tian Sisi's kind words came right out of her mouth, which made Niu Sanxian grin. This girl really knew how to talk, and she was happy to hear it. + +"Dad, where are Uncle Yang and Uncle Niu going to have dinner tonight? Is it my house?" Tian Sisi was worried about the guests' dinner. + +"It's better to eat here. It's not good to bother your mother by always going to your house." He Xuewen mainly didn't think that Yang Wenbin had too much contact with the Tian family. Although he was grateful to the Tian family, he would not reveal all his secrets to the Tian family. + +"Okay, then I'll eat at Dad's place too, and I'll cook dinner." Tian Sisi recommended herself to be a chef. + +"Okay, that's hard work, grandma. You can cook more dishes to go with the wine. Dad and a few uncles will have a good time tonight." He Xuewen knew that his daughter's cooking skills were pretty good, so he nodded in agreement. + +Tian Sisi ran to the kitchen and changed her apron. She was very familiar with the He family's kitchen. When He Xuewen was at home, she often came over to cook for them. After He Xuewen ate the food cooked by his daughter, he no longer wanted to eat the food cooked by He Chengsi. + +Tian Sisi looked around the kitchen and saw that there was only a piece of meat and some snails and eels. She shook her head with a smile. There was no food in the kitchen and she still wanted to invite guests to stay for dinner. Dad was really...! + +If Tian Sisi knew that the piece of meat was brought over from Niu San Xian, her head would definitely shake even more. She then said to He Chengsi who was boiling water, "Brother He, I'm going to go home and get some vegetables. You cut off the butts of these snails and cut open the loaches and eels. We can cook dinner later." + +He Chengsi smiled and nodded. He also likes to eat the dishes cooked by Sisi's sister, they are beautiful and delicious. + +"Sister Sisi, please cook more fried snails tonight. The fried snails you cooked last time were delicious. The fried eel slices and dried loach are also delicious. Please cook more." + +"Okay, Dad also likes to eat, so it's just right to make them a snack." + +Tian Sisi ran home with the doll in her arms and told Mrs. Zhao who was preparing to cook dinner, saying that she was going to He's house for dinner. Mrs. Zhao didn't take it seriously. Her granddaughter always had dinner at He's house five or six days out of ten. She was used to it when she sometimes lived at He's house. + +"Mother, look at the doll my father bought for me. Does it look good?" Tian Sisi held up the doll in her hand to show off. + +"It's beautiful. Your dad is wasting money again. You little bastard doesn't even know how much your dad spent on it?" Mrs. Zhao squinted her eyes and looked at the doll. This thing must be very expensive. + +"Dad, he said he likes to buy me things." Tian Sisi hummed a few times, took the doll and showed it off to the old man again, and then put the doll back upstairs on her bed.(To be continued.) \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/09/eng_cont/i_0105.txt b/09/eng_cont/i_0105.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..3705afe578a9778628b330d1db101621d2644641 --- /dev/null +++ b/09/eng_cont/i_0105.txt @@ -0,0 +1,59 @@ +Chapter 105 Hospitality. + +Tian Sisi took a basket and cut a few green vegetables, and then went to He's house. On the way, when no one was around, she took out fish, meat, tofu skin, vermicelli and other vegetables from the mall, put them into the basket, and covered them with vegetables. When she walked into the yard, He Xuewen saw the basket her daughter was carrying and smiled secretly. Grandma must have brought a lot of vegetables from that blessed land. + +"Dad, Uncle Yang, Uncle Niu, and Uncle Wang, I'll let you try my cooking tonight. I guarantee it's delicious." Tian Sisi started showing off before she even started cooking. + +"Grandma, you can't show off in front of Uncle Niu. Your uncle Niu is a famous chef and has worked in a big hotel." He Xuewen reminded his daughter with a smile, don't brag. + +Tian Sisi instantly blushed with embarrassment. This was really a big deal in front of Lu Ban. Seeing that the little girl was embarrassed, Niu Sanxian laughed loudly, "Grandma, don't listen to your father's nonsense. I'm just a cook in a small restaurant in the town. How can I be called a great chef?" + +A small restaurant in town? Isn't it the same place where I often buy meat buns? Unexpectedly, this fat cook turned out to be the chef there. No wonder this person looked familiar. From a closer look, he looked similar to the fat waiter. They should be father and daughter, right? No wonder they all look so lucky. + +Tian Sisi took out a plate of melon seeds and peanuts from the basket and placed it on the stone table in the yard, letting them peel and eat them slowly. Then she went into the kitchen to cook. In the kitchen, He Chengsi had already cleaned the snails, eels, and loaches, and placed them all on the stove. Tian Sisi took out the vegetables in the basket and asked He Chengsi to clean them, while she went to the backyard to cut some more vegetables. + +Seeing that Tian Sisi left, Yang Wenbin smiled and said to He Xuewen: "Xuewen. Your grandma looks so cute, does she know how to cook? It doesn't matter if it doesn't taste good, but we won't have to go to the hospital tomorrow after eating it today." + +Yang Wenbin didn't believe that a cute princess like Tian Sisi could cook at all. She looked like she couldn't touch Yang Chun Shui. She didn't know what family adopted Xuewen's daughter. They actually raised such a cute baby in a mountain village. And judging from the temperament of this little girl, she was even better than those little girls in Beijing! + +He Xuewen was unhappy and snorted, "Then don't eat for a while. My grandma's cooking skills are very good. I was just being modest." + +Yang Wenbin smiled and stopped teasing He Xuewen. This Xuewen was now a total daughter-in-law and couldn't bear to hear anyone say anything bad about his daughter. + +Probably stimulated by He Xuewen's words. Tian Sisi performed exceptionally well when cooking in the evening. The cooked dishes are full of flavor and aroma. The scent spread into the courtyard, causing Yang Wenbin and others to sniff, especially Master Wang. He loaded a cart of goods in the afternoon, and the meat he had eaten for lunch had already been digested. As soon as he smelled the smell of meat, his stomach growled. + +"Brother He, your daughter's skills are really good. If she cultivates her skills well, she might be able to become a female chef in the future." + +Niu Sanxian is actually just a joke. Women's homes are only suitable for cooking some home-cooked dishes. If you really want to be a chef in a restaurant, you have to be a man. + +However, He Xuewen's reaction made Niu Sanxian angry. He Xuewen looked at Niu Sanxian's big-shouldered and round-waisted figure with disdain. Thinking of the future when the delicate and soft A-nan will grow into a strong body and stir the pot in the smoke-filled kitchen, it would be like seeing a delicate flower suddenly turn into a big tree. He shook his head decisively. + +He Chengsi who was lighting the fire in the kitchen was really suffering. Sister Sisi's cooking skills were getting better and better. It was really uncomfortable for him to just watch but not eat! + +Tian Sisi cooked the last dish of stir-fried tofu skin with green vegetables, and shook off her sore hands. She and He Chengsi took out the hot dishes in the pot one by one. Considering that they were going to drink, Tian Sisi cooked a dozen dishes, wild onions, Dried twice-cooked pork, braised crucian carp, peanuts, spicy snails, dry-stirred loach, fried eel slices, fried tofu, fish-flavored shredded pork, green vegetable tofu skin, hot and sour vermicelli soup, stir-fried dried malan head, etc. filled the Eight Immortals table in the living room. + +"Yes, grandma's cooking is really good. These dishes look delicious." + +Yang Wenbin was quite surprised. He didn't expect that Tian Sisi really had good cooking skills. Let's not talk about the taste. The appearance and aroma of these dishes alone are already making people salivate. + +"Come on, come on, let's eat quickly. Let's have a good drink today. Grandma, bring more wine." He Xuewen greeted several guests to take their seats. + +Tian Sisi pretended to go to the storage room to get wine, but actually took out a ten-pound jar of soju from the space, took out a flask and filled it up for Yang Wenbin and the others. Niu Sanxian and Master Wang sniffed the wine in the glass like dogs, and exclaimed in unison: "What a good wine!" + +Tian Sisi was secretly amused. Birds of a feather flock together. Dad is a drunkard and all his friends are drug addicts. These people drank too fast. He Xuewen felt sorry for his daughter's hard work in pouring wine, so he asked Tian Sisi to bring out three more wine bottles, and poured wine into them. Each person placed a pot in front of them, and everyone poured and drank by themselves. + +Master Wang really liked the twice-cooked pork. He picked up one piece after another and ate it happily. The twice-cooked pork is a Sichuan dish, and Niu Sanxian is good at cooking Hangbang cuisine. He can't cook this Sichuan cuisine, but he also likes to eat it. Tian Sisi's twice-cooked pork has been slightly improved, without adding too much chili pepper and Sichuan pepper. It is more acceptable to Suicheng people, and at least a few people here like it. + +"My grandma's cooking is really good. Why do I feel that your dishes have the taste of Sichuan and Hunan cuisine? It doesn't taste like local cuisine. Where did grandma learn it from?" Niu Sanxian is indeed a chef. As soon as he tasted it, he could tell that Tian Sisi's dishes evolved from Sichuan and Hunan cuisine. + +Tian Sisi had already prepared her words, "I heard my dad say it before. He goes to many places and eats a lot of dishes. He often tells me about the dishes. I cook them all by myself. Uncle Niu, are the dishes I cooked delicious?" + +"It's delicious, it's delicious. Your uncle Niu didn't have this skill when he was your age." + +Niu Sanxian didn't think much about it, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with a little girl who could reconstruct six or seven points of a dish just through people's oral narration. She has talent in everything she does. Maybe Tian Sisi is talented in cooking! + +Several people ate very happily. Not only did they finish the ten kilograms of wine, they also ate all the food on the table. On average, everyone drank almost two kilograms of wine. The ones who drank the most were He Xuewen and Master Wang, but they were both quite sober and there was nothing wrong on their faces. On the contrary, Yang Wenbin and Niu Sanxian were blushing. Although they were not drunk, they were almost there. + +"Hey... He... Brother, your... this wine... is... really good! Tomorrow... you... have to... sell me... a few... dozens of kilograms." Niu Sanxian asked He Xuewen for a drink with his tongue hanging out. + +"Okay, I'll give Brother Niu some good wine tomorrow."

It was really impolite to be guests at other people's homes and get drunk. He Xuewen knew that Yang Wenbin had to rush to Shanghai, so he took out two bottles of Qiong wine from the storage room and gave it to Yang Xuewen. The people in Yang Xuewen's family were all in the army and had more or less hidden injuries on their bodies, so these medicinal wines were very popular with the Yang family. + +Two bottles of Qiong wine are only about four kilograms, and each person is not much. Tian Sisi brews a lot of this special Qiong wine in her space, and you can get as much as you want. However, He Xuewen is not willing to take too much at one time. Things are rare and valuable, and good things become commonplace when there are too many. + +Yang Wenbin accepted it without much shirk. Now that the Yang He family has formed an alliance, some small places don't need to be too polite, but instead seem unfamiliar. As for other ordinary wine, Yang Xuewen bought it at three yuan per catty, and he bought one hundred catties. + +At Niu Sanxian's place, He Xuewen gave him ten kilograms of wine, but Niu Sanxian refused to take it. He directly took out a hundred yuan and said that he wanted to buy thirty kilograms. He Xuewen had to accept sixty yuan, and the ten kilograms of wine were given to Niu Sanxian. + +After sending Yang Wenbin and the others away, He Xuewen rested at home for a day and planned to go to Guangzhou. Before Yang Wenbin left, he mentioned to him that he wanted to get some cheap cloth and clothes to sell in the north. Such cheap cloth and clothes can only be found in Guangzhou. + +He had connections in Guangzhou and it was very convenient to purchase goods. He thought that if everything went well this time, he would be able to make a lot of money. I can rest at home for a while and spend time with my daughter. However, after Tian Sisi learned about it, she strictly prohibited He Xuewen from leaving immediately, telling him to rest at home for three or four days before leaving. + +He Xuewen was very anxious. In this business, we must pay attention to efficiency. How much money will we lose if we miss it by one day? He said good things to Tian Sisi, but Tian Sisi didn't listen. He stared with big eyes and said with a small mouth: + +"Money is more important than your body. Dad, your health is not very good to begin with. Although it is much better than before, you still have to take good care of it. No matter how much money you make, you have to have the life to spend it, Dad. You have to learn to enjoy life! Like me, sleep until you wake up naturally every day. Count..." + +Tian Sisi swallowed back the last sentence, "Counting money until my hands cramped." This was too early to say now, so she swallowed. Then educate dad. + +"In short, Dad, you have to learn to slow down. You can't make all the money, but life is limited. You can't use your limited life to make unlimited money. Do you understand?" + +How could she say such philosophical words? Tian Sisi admired herself deeply, "Dad, do you think I said it too well? I also think I said it very well. Most people will certainly not be able to say such profound words." + +He Xuewen looked at his funny daughter in a funny way. Where did this little girl hear this weird thing? It's limited and unlimited, but it does make some sense. He nodded Tian Sisi's head and said, "Okay, what you said makes sense. Dad will rest at home for three days. I must go after three days. You can't stop me again." + +"I promise you won't stop me. Oh, it would be great if I had a holiday now. Then I could go to Guangzhou with my dad." Tian Sisi really wanted to see what Guangzhou was like in the 1970s. + +"There will be plenty of time in the future, and grandma still has a great time. In the future, daddy will not only take grandma to travel around China, but also around the world. Whether you are a man or a woman, you should go out more often." + +He Xuewen deeply regretted not being able to go abroad, so he did not want his daughter to become a frog in a well like him. + +"Then Dad should take better care of your body. Don't let us go outside to play by then. Dad won't be able to keep up with my pace. You have to ask me to carry you. I can't carry Dad." + +Tian Sisi took the opportunity to emphasize the importance of physical health. This He Xuewen would be a workaholic in later generations. He was definitely the kind of white-bone spirit who was likely to die from overwork. She had to supervise him at all times. + +"Okay, just listen to grandma. Whatever dad does from now on, I will report to you, grandma, okay?" He Xuewen enjoyed his daughter's concern very much and compromised with a smile. + +"That's necessary." + +Tian Sisi was serious at first, then she was amused by her own words and giggled. The silver bell-like laughter was particularly beautiful. He Xuewen couldn't help but laugh. The laughter of the father and daughter intertwined and floated out of the yard and up the mountain. + +Tang Qiubai looked at the two father and daughter from a distance. He came to change clothes. He had just gone to the ditch with Tian Qinghua and the others to touch loaches and came back with mud spots all over his body. This made Tang Qiubai, who loved cleanliness, unbearable at all, so he ran back to change into clean clothes. This time he came back and saw Tian Sisi and He Xuewen cuddling together and talking intimately. + +He Xuewen sat on the chair, while Tian Sisi sat at his feet, lying on He Xuewen's knees and talking, making out affectionately, as if they were a real father and daughter, a real father and daughter? Tang Qiubai was suddenly startled, why didn't he think of it? + +There is no love without reason in the world, and there is no hatred without reason. I heard that this He Xuewen only knew Tian Sisi for less than two months. It took only two months for two strangers to become so familiar with each other? + +Tang Qiubai, who has always been skeptical about human nature, doesn't believe it at all. This He Xuewen and Tian Sisi definitely have an unusual relationship, but he just doesn't know who He Xuewen is and Tian Sisi? Is it the father? uncle? uncle? Family friend? Tang Qiubai thought about many possibilities, but couldn't be sure. + +However, he still felt very excited, thinking that he had discovered a big secret. At this time, Tang Qiubai was still just a young man with a bit of a wealthy mind. He was only thinking about how to protect himself, and did not think about harming anyone. Therefore, he did not want to tell this discovery, not even to his grandfather Tang Tieshan. He did not intend to tell it, he was just out of curiosity. + +Tang Qiubai hurriedly went upstairs to change his clothes, and raised the snails and loach eels in a bucket. After the sediment was spit out, he could eat them. Grandpa and Grandpa Tian made it clear a few days ago that they would also eat at He's house in the future. + +Grandpa gave two-thirds of his salary to the He family for food and accommodation expenses. After he was transferred to Yuequan Mountain, grandfather's salary also began to be paid. Although it was not much, it was seventy or eighty yuan a month, as well as grain, oil and meat stamps, etc., which were also given to He Xuewen for food expenses. + +The old man knew the concerns of his old comrade. Although he was reluctant to give up, he did not persuade him much and followed Tang Tieshan. However, the two still worked together during the day and their relationship was still as good as before. + +Although He Xuewen looked down upon Tang Tieshan's tens of dollars, he still accepted it, but only half of it, and he didn't want the rest. Of course, he was not unkind. Firstly, He Xuewen always admired the anti-Japanese heroes, and he would help Tang Tieshan if he could. + +The second is his own selfishness. With the tides turning, Tang Tieshan may one day make a comeback. If that day comes, Tang Tieshan will look at the current situation, and A'nan will be able to have one more help in the future.

Why don't you want to see him so much? + +"Sisi, do you have an opinion about me? If I did something wrong, just say it and I will definitely correct it." Tang Qiubai decided to be more direct. + +Tian Sisi was startled, shook her head subconsciously and said, "No, no, you are overthinking it." + +"Then why are you always unwilling to talk to me? You and Cheng Si Xinhua are both talking and laughing, but you don't say a word to me." + +Tang Qiubai was a little aggrieved. No matter how precocious he was, he was only a thirteen-year-old boy.

Tian Sisi forced a smile. + +"Oops. I forgot my hat. Why don't you leave first? I'll come find you later." Tian Sisi was too lazy to be the boy's spiritual mentor anymore, so she just used a poor excuse to escape home. + +Tang Qiubai hit his head in frustration. Why can't I still be friends with Tian Sisi? What the hell is going on? Now befriending Tian Sisi has become Tang Qiubai's obsession, and it has long lost its previous purpose. Tian Sisi's rejection aroused Tang Qiubai's competitive spirit, and he did not want to be a loser. + +In Tang Qiubai's heart, being treated differently and pushed out by Tian Sisi was a failure. He got up from where he fell. With this truth, in the long years to come, Tang Qiubai tried hard to get close to Tian Sisi, but Tian Sisi kicked him away mercilessly every time. + +Tian Sisi hurriedly ran home. When she saw that Tang Qiubai was not chasing her, she couldn't help but patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief. This scumbag was so annoying. Why was he always chasing her? She has already made it so obvious, wouldn't he look at her face? + +What Tian Sisi didn't know was that there were two words that could describe a man's characteristics, one of which was called desire to conquer, and the other was called abjection. Although Tang Qiubai was still just a little boy, he still had the above two characteristics. + +Tian Sisi randomly found a lavender sun hat and put it on, then ran to the ditch to find Zhong Anmei and the others. The ditch was very lively, not only Tian Xinhua and Zhong Anmei, the three brothers and sisters were there, but also many children from the farm and Zhongjiawan. + +At this time, the weather was neither cold nor hot, and the children in the village would go to the ditch to touch the loaches and eels to add some meat dishes to the family dinner table. When they saw Tian Sisi wearing a beautiful floral skirt and a sun hat, the boys showed their shyness as teenagers, and the girls were of course envious and jealous. + +Zhong Yuying was also among the crowd. She was touching snails by herself downstream. Ever since it was revealed that she pushed Tian Sisi into the tiger pit, the children in the village were unwilling to play with her. Even her own sister and brother would not stay with her when they went out to avoid being squeezed out. It is the same now. Zhong Yuying's brother Zhong Shoufu and sister Zhong Hongying stayed away from her and touched the snails with other people. + +Zhong Shoufu is 15 years old this year. He doesn’t look like his father or his mother, but he looks like his uncle Zhong Shancai. He is very similar to his cousin Zhong Shouliang. However, Zhong Shoufu doesn’t do much farm work because he was pampered by Zhong Liangcai and Wang Yueyue since he was a child. Therefore, His skin is fair, and he looks like a plain-cut chicken. Unlike Zhong Shouliang, who is tall and has a strong body. When the two of them stand together, Zhong Shouliang gives people the impression of being calm and capable, while Zhong Shoufu gives people the impression of being frivolous and unreliable. + +Not only does he look different, but Zhong Shoufu's personality is also completely different from Zhong Liangcai and Wang Yueyue. Zhong Liangcai and Wang Yueyue wish to break a penny into three and spend it, and a bowl of dried vegetables and steamed meat will be left on the dining table for a month. + +But Zhong Shoufu spends money lavishly and likes to show off. The most important thing is that he doesn't like to work. He only thinks about going to the city to be a worker. However, with his current family background, he can't even go to junior high school, let alone become a worker? + +Apart from being lazy and caring about face, Zhong Shoufu doesn't have any serious problems. Moreover, although his heart is evil, he is not as vicious as his father. He is just a little selfish, perhaps because he is still young and has not yet mastered the art of chain training. + +Zhong Hongying is an outlier in Zhong Liangcai's family. "Bad bamboo produces good bamboo shoots" refers to Zhong Hongying. Zhong Hongying and Tian Sisi were the same age and only attended elementary school for two years. Because her eldest sister Zhong Zhiying was married and there was no one to do the work at home, Zhong Liangcai did not let her go to school and let her work at home. + +Zhong Hongying, like her eldest sister Zhong Zhiying, is a hard-working girl who works the most and eats the least every day. She doesn't like to gossip about others. She is completely different from their parents' character, but more similar to their uncle Zhong Shancai's character. + +It's not that Zhong Hongying doesn't want to be with Zhong Yuying because she's afraid of being ostracized. The main reason is that Zhong Yuying doesn't like to be with her. She dislikes her bad appearance and would embarrass herself if they were together. In fact, Zhong Hongying is not bad looking, but like Zhong Juying before, she has been working for many years, so how can she have time to dress up?

He was just trying to show his face just now to let grandma take the initiative to cook (boy, you are so arrogant). He really wanted to eat Grandma’s food. + +Tian Qinghua on the side listened. My mouth is watering. The food cooked by A-nan is so delicious! At that moment, he came over and said, "Fifth brother, just listen to grandma, we brothers will have a good meal together. Oh, I miss grandma's craftsmanship." + +"Sisi can also cook?" Zhong Ankang looked unconvinced. He thought Tian Sisi couldn't even tell the difference between soy sauce and vinegar, right? + +"Why don't I know how to cook? Brother Ankang, don't look down on me. My cooking skills have been praised by the chef. Brother He, don't you think so?"

In short, she could find all kinds of reasons. A dozen friends would gather together to eat, drink, and have fun, and have a great time. + +But since she came here, she was either going to school or staying at home every day, almost suffocating her to death. It was Tian Sisi who proposed to get together in the name of Tian Xinhua's birthday. It was Tian Xinhua's birthday yesterday.

It's not in vain that he always protects her, so she has some conscience. + +"Xinhua's birthday is a celebration, but it's not good for us brothers and sisters to go to dinner and be seen by others. We can just say congratulations to you here. These eels and loaches are given to you." Zhong Anping is older and considers things more comprehensively. + +Although Zhong Ankang wanted to have a party with his friends, he also knew that what his elder brother said was right, so he nodded in agreement, "Xinhua, let us brothers have dinner together again when we have the opportunity in the future. It is better not to cause trouble now." + +Tian Xinhua bitterly pulled off a handful of weeds. What kind of world is this? You can’t even have a meal with your friends. Aren’t all people created equal? Why are we divided into classes such as rich peasants, middle peasants and poor peasants? What is the reason for this? For the first time, the young boy questioned the current system. + +Others were not in a good mood, especially Zhong Anmei and Zhong Juying. They especially wanted to play with Tian Sisi, but they couldn't be together all the time because of the difference in status. Even when they touched snails like today, they dared to come over when there were many people. + +Zhong Meiying and Zhong Wanhua were not very happy either.

Tian Sisi was in a good mood and asked with a smile. + +"On the fifth day of May, my master picked me up on the Dragon Boat Festival and designated that day as my birthday." He Chengsi said happily. + +Tian Sisi had heard from He Xuewen before that He Chengsi was also a poor baby. He was picked up by the old Taoist priest on a barren mountain in Qingdao when he was traveling. He Chengsi must have been born not long ago. There were still blood stains on his body. His whole body was swollen after being bitten by poisonous mosquitoes on the mountain. He didn't know which cruel parents threw the newborn baby up the mountain. He was lucky if he wasn't eaten by wolves. + +The old Taoist priest happened to be old and felt lonely, so he felt that he was destined to this doll. So he adopted He Chengsi. He wasn't even given a name. Because he picked it up during the Dragon Boat Festival, he kept calling him Xiaowu until He Xuewen adopted him. Then he was named Chengsi. + +Compared to He Chengsi, the original owner was much luckier. They were both adopted, but the original owner was given away by his parents as a last resort, and he was also given to a good family, and he lived a life without worries about food and clothing since he was a child. + +But He Chengsi was so miserable. He encountered a pair of unscrupulous parents. Although he was later adopted by his master, he always wandered with his master, living in the wind and exposure, and never lived a stable life. + +Thinking of this, Tian Sisi said softly: "Then next month, before congratulating brother on his birthday, we will have a meal together on a weekend just like we did today to celebrate brother's birthday." + +He Chengsi grinned and snorted proudly at Tian Xinhua. Tian Xinhua was in a very good mood now. He was too lazy to argue with this guy. Tian Si thought about it and had a good idea in his mind. + +"How about this. We all tell our birthdays and line up in a row. Then we can celebrate everyone's birthday. The location will be Brother He's house. That's our secret base. Do you guys agree?" + +Tian Sisi's idea received unanimous support from everyone. In this dull and gray era, it is really rare to have the opportunity to get together happily with friends. + +He Chengsi also expressed his agreement with his sister's suggestion. Tang Qiubai was also very interested in this novel way of celebrating his birthday and was the first to reveal his birthday, which was the sixth day of October. + +Tian Sisi really didn't want to celebrate Tang Qiubai's birthday, but when she saw the young man's high-spirited face, she opened her mouth but still didn't say her rejection. + +Tang Qiubai really hasn't offended her in this life, and he plays quite well with He Chengsi and Tian Xinhua.

Dad is of course the most important thing, but my mother-in-law said. Grandpa wants to have a drink with you. He said it would be unpleasant to drink with others."

She went to the kitchen humming a song and took out meat, fish and other dishes from the shopping mall. There were more than a dozen people in the evening, so she had to prepare more dishes. He Xuewen followed her into the kitchen and watched her daughter bring out various sumptuous dishes one by one. + +"Dad, if you have nothing to do, can you kill the fish for me?" Tian Sisi saw that her father was idle, so she arranged work for him. + +He Xuewen frowned when he saw the lively crucian carp, but he still went over and took the scissors to kill the fish. But why was the fish so slippery? + +He Xuewen didn't catch the fish for a long time. Instead, the ground was covered with water. Tian Sisi sighed. Her father seemed to be an immortal, and he couldn't do any housework. + +"Dad, have you never cooked before?" + +"No, we used to have nannies at home to cook, and then we basically ate in restaurants. If we really had to cook, your brother Chengsi would also cook." He Xuewen didn't think it was embarrassing at all to let a child cook. + +Tian Sisi sympathized deeply with He Chengsi. No wonder He Chengsi knew how to cook, wash and grow vegetables at such a young age. Although he was not very good at it, it was already rare. + +"Sisi, let's help you." + +Zhong Meiying and Zhong Wanhua shouted in the yard.

The two girls in front of him looked pretty good, with clean eyes, and they were not the kind of people with bad intentions. + +He Xuewen brought Zhong Wanhua and Zhong Meiying into the kitchen and pushed the bicycle out. He himself was a teenager, so how could he not know this feeling? Children are entertaining friends at home, and of course they don't want adults to be present.

It was Tian Xinhua's birthday, and as an elder, he had to give him a decent gift. + +Seeing that He Xuewen was gone, Zhong Meiying and Zhong Wanhua also returned to their former cheerfulness, "Sisi, your father is so good-looking.

Tian Sisi said and was about to call someone. + +"It's better for me to go, I'm a fast runner." + +Zhong Meiying grabbed Tian Sisi and ran out quickly. She ran really fast, leaving Tian Sisi behind. + +Zhong Anmei and the others came very quickly. They looked like they were working underground. They looked around to see if there was no one around, and then scurried into the courtyard of the He family. They were so quick that Tian Sisi couldn't stop laughing. If these two people were in the past, they would definitely be excellent candidates for underground workers. + +Several girls were very interested in taking photos. Tian Sisi took a group photo of them first, with the magnolia blooming in the background. When it came time to take individual photos, Tian Sisi was dissatisfied.

Although they were not ugly, there was a strong rural atmosphere all over their bodies, which covered up their good looks. + +Tian Sisi ran to the second floor and took down her clothes, shoes, and hairdressing.

There were five or six pairs of leather shoes alone, not to mention all kinds of clothes and skirts. + +Tian Sisi chose a beautiful dress for each of the four of them. Zhong Anmei had a little difficulty choosing because she was the tallest, a head taller than Tian Sisi. She had no choice but to choose the only yellow long dress. Fortunately, Zhong Anmei had white skin and a slim figure, so it fit well when she put it on.

When Zhong Anmei puts on this yellow skirt, her temperament immediately improves a lot, and she doesn't look like a village girl at all. + +In order to prove that she was not telling lies, Tian Sisi went to the second floor to get a mirror for her to look at.

She is a beautiful little girl. + +Tian Si thoughtfully pulled them into the bamboo forest and took photos of them one after another with different backgrounds and shapes. After taking a roll of film, he loaded a new roll of film. Tian Sisi used the one-yuan and five-yuan piece of film. In fact, the five-yuan and one-yuan and five-yuan films produced similar photos, but the five-yuan one felt better to use, but the price-performance ratio was definitely better than the one-yuan and five-yuan film. + +Zhong Anmei and the others were a little embarrassed, taking one picture after another.

A good idea was quickly figured out. + +"Don't worry, Sisi. If you can't bake it, we'll steam it. But what is your birthday cake made of? Is it the same as a cake? I made it with my mother." + +Tian Sisi's eyes lit up. That's right, why didn't she think of hair cake? In the movie "Hands Up 2", the cake Guo Da made for the Japanese was a cake with a lot of red dates on it. It was very nice, but it was ruined by that fool Pan Changjiang. Thinking of that plot, Tian Sisi couldn't help laughing. + +"Okay, let's make hair cakes. Sister Wanhua, what ingredients are needed to make hair cakes?" + +"You need cornmeal, flour, eggs, sugar, baking powder, alkali, that seems to be it." + +Zhong Wanhua carefully recalled the process of her mother-in-law making hair cake, and it seemed that it was right. She remembered that this was how her mother made it. + +Every time Zhong Wanhua reported something, Tian Sisi took out the same thing from the cupboard, and also took out a lot of dried red dates and raisins, which can be garnished on the cake later. It will definitely be delicious. + +Although it was the first time for several little girls to make hair cakes, it turns out that unity is strength. Within an hour, a yellow and fragrant cake with red dates and raisins was successfully baked. The little girls all felt a sense of accomplishment. + +"I really want to eat it. This steamed cake must be delicious. There are ten eggs in it." + +Zhong Meiying swallowed her saliva. When she put the eggs just now, she almost felt distressed to death by Tian Sisi, the prodigal. Ten eggs, ten eggs here, even steamed with chaff would be delicious. + +"Where is it? There is still some white sugar, at least half a catty." + +Zhong Juying is also very distressed. Her family only eats one pound of sugar throughout the year. The sugar that Tian Sisi gave to her family last time has not been finished yet. + +"It also has red dates and raisins. It must be delicious. When my mother used to steam it, it was delicious with just sugar and corn flour." + +"It's a pity that we can't eat it now. We can eat it when we are all together in the evening. This big fat cake is enough for us." Tian Sisi said with a smile. + +When He Xuewen came in with the cart, he happened to see five little girls chattering and laughing around a big yellow cake. He was surprised to see the cake that exuded the fragrance of eggs. He didn't expect that these little girls were quite fancy. + +"Dad, this is the steamed cake we made together. Aren't we very good?" Tian Sisi ran to He Xuewen like a little pug to ask for praise. + +"Awesome, all of you are great. When the electricity is connected here, Dad will buy an oven for you so that Grandma can bake a birthday cake." + +Of course, He Xuewen understood that his daughter wanted to use steamed cakes instead of birthday cakes. He had told A-nan before that Shanghainese people would eat birthday cakes on their birthdays, and he also vividly described the appearance of birthday cakes. Unexpectedly, A-nan actually made a beautiful cake. + +"Okay, then I will bake the first cake for my grandparents to eat, and then I will give it to my father and dad." + +Zhong Wanhua and the others were a little shy, but luckily they changed out of Tian Sisi's beautiful clothes before they evaporated the cake. How embarrassing it would be if Uncle He saw this! + +At this time, Tian Xinhua and others also came back one after another. Zhong Anping and Zhong Ankang wanted to come over later, but Tian Xinhua pulled them over. At this time, everyone was still working. Who would come to the back mountain to see? + +Zhong Xiaowu Children's Shoes also brought a shy boy, Jin Duofu, whose life was saved by Tian Sisi.

Why make her Magnolia suffer again! + +Yulan and her son-in-law were in a bad mood this time. Although she was smiling on her face, how could she not tell that she was pretending? But no one at home told her about these things, and she refused to tell Yulan if she asked her. She just said it was okay. How can it be okay? Is it okay? Magnolia will move the fetus? Mrs. Gao made up her mind to stay for a while and ask clearly what was going on? + +Gao Yulan ate a bowl of warm brown sugar eggs. I feel a lot warmer all over my body. Her stomach was much better, but there was still some throbbing pain, and Gao Yulan felt relieved. She was terrified when she thought about almost losing this child. She was so careless. Gao Yulan secretly blamed herself. + +Old Mrs. Gao walked in hurriedly. Although she was anxious, she still smiled and greeted the old man and He Xuewen. It was obvious that she was a woman who knew etiquette. Moreover, this Old Mrs. Gao had a fair and delicate appearance. She did not look like an ordinary rural woman. She actually had a bookish air. + +It turned out that Mrs. Gao's father was a scholar who failed to pass the exam several times. He gradually got older and the family's money was spent. So he went home and set up a private school. He taught more than a dozen students a year, which was able to support the family and had a very high status in the village. + +At that time, Grandpa Gao Yuzhu's family also had a small amount of money, so he was able to marry the daughter of a scholar. Mrs. Gao was very favored in the family because she was the daughter of a scholar. She also had a very nice name, Li Yixiang, which was swaying and fragrant. + +Mrs. Gao chatted with her daughter for a while. Gao Yulan soon fell asleep deeply, and her complexion returned to rosy. It seemed that nothing was wrong. The old lady was relieved. She tucked her daughter into bed, thanked Mrs. Zhao gratefully, and said that she would let Shou Wang take Yulan back now. As for the dirty mattress on the floor, she would replace it with a new one later. She was really sorry. + +Mrs. Zhao had a good impression of Mrs. Gao. She immediately said she didn't want the mattress. It wasn't a good mattress, so she would let Yulan use it. In addition, she also prepared a basket of about thirty eggs and a one-pound bag of brown sugar, which she gave to Mrs. Gao and asked her to go back and cook it to replenish Yulan. After all, it happened at the Tian family, so it would be unreasonable not to send something. + +Mrs. Gao didn't want anything. Yulan just told her that this matter had nothing to do with the Tian family. If Sister Tian hadn't boiled the bowl of brown sugar eggs, Yulan wouldn't have recovered so quickly. It was too late for her to be grateful. How could she accept the things from the Tian family? + +However, the always weak Mrs. Gao could not defeat the strong Mrs. Zhao, so she naturally took away the eggs and brown sugar in the end. + +After they left, Mrs. Zhao hurriedly cooked another large pot of glutinous rice for Tian Sisi, the old man and He Xuewen to eat. Of course, she also ate it herself. There was still a lot left in the pot. She would take it out to more people to eat to get rid of bad luck. + +There is a custom here in Suicheng. If a family encounters bad luck, they will cook glutinous rice and invite more people to eat it to share some of the bad luck. The more people who eat glutinous rice, the more bad luck will be shared, and the better for the host's family. + +The old man and He Xuewen had been silent since Gao Yulan and the others left, even when eating glutinous rice. After eating the glutinous rice, they both spoke at the same time, "Old man (Xuewen)." + +He Xuewen smiled and motioned for the old man to speak first. The old man was a little embarrassed. He pondered for a while and then said: "Xuewen, old man, I want to make a merciless request. Why don't you tell your friend to transfer Wang Shouwang to another department, as long as he doesn't stay in the Revolutionary Committee. I think Wang Shouwang is quite a man. As long as you make it clear to him, he will not collude with Gao Yuzhu." + +"That's what I meant just now. These two seem to be different from Gao Yuzhu. Let's keep a straight line as human beings." + +He Xuewen smiled with relief. It turned out that he was not the only one who had become soft-hearted. It seemed that life was too stable and it was easy for people to become soft-hearted! Even a tough guy like the old man has been softened. + +The two looked at each other and smiled, first smiling lightly, then laughing, seemingly very happy. He Xuewen said that he would call his friend as soon as possible and transferred Wang Shouwang to the meat factory to be the security chief. He heard a while ago that something happened to the security chief of the meat factory and the seat was vacant. + +The meat joint factory is not in Wangjia Town, but in the city. Speaking of which, Wang Shouwang has been promoted, and the meat joint factory is also a good unit in this era. Of course, Wang Shouwang still needs to give him a warning. If he hooks up with Gao Yuzhu again, he will lose his job. + +Mrs. Zhao didn't care about these things. She went to every house with glutinous rice to find people to eat. In her opinion, this matter was the most important thing. + +Tian Sisi pretended to be innocent and asked: "Grandpa, Dad, didn't you say before that you would eradicate your enemies without mercy? Why are you so nice to Gao Hongmei, her sister-in-law, and her uncle this time?"

He is just a villain with a bad mind, so my father and your grandfather did not kill them all." + +He Xuewen paused and then said: "The most important thing is that Gao Yulan's current situation is a bit special.

And why did you two go to Tian's house?" Old Mrs. Gao asked the question that she had been holding back for a long time. + +Wang Shouwang hesitated and refused to say anything. His wife had told her at home not to tell her mother-in-law what had happened, lest she worry. + +"Shou Wang, are you willing to tell me?

I can't eat well or sleep well, just because I'm afraid something will happen to you." + +Mrs. Gao used the policy of mourning the soldiers, and her tears flowed out immediately, so like mother, like daughter.

I'll just say that I found out about it myself." + +Although Mrs. Gao was furious at what Wang Shouwang said, she still felt very relieved.

Mrs. Gao's new hatred combined with the old hatred broke out. + +Gao Shaoyue was about to reprimand his wife when Gao Yuzhu ran over. He came empty-handed, followed by Tian Chunfang who was also empty-handed. Gao Yulan didn't have a good face when she saw Gao Yuzhu, so she turned away and pretended to sleep. Gao Yuzhu didn't want to talk to his little sister. He asked Mrs. Gao and learned that Gao Yulan had nothing serious, so he excitedly said to Gao Shaoyue: + +"Dad, this is a good opportunity. Something happened to Yulan in the Tian family. The responsibility has to be borne by the Tian family. Let Yulan stay in bed for a few more days. Let's be more serious and ask the Tian family to pay for things. Then we will go out to publicize it more. Say that the Tian family bullies others and bullies a pregnant woman named Yulan to the point of almost miscarrying. This time I must make the Tian family pay both reputation and money, so that the surrounding villages know what kind of virtue the Tian family is." + +After hearing this, Gao Shaoyue was silent for a while, with some emotions on his face, but after all, he was older and thought more about it. He immediately said: "No, your sister is fine this time. Besides, Yulan also said that it was because of her own carelessness that she has nothing to do with the Tian family. Moreover, the Tian family is quite generous. They gave thirty eggs, a pound of brown sugar, and a mattress. The gift is not light." + +"Oh, why is Yulan so stupid? There were no outsiders here at that time. How did the fetal movement not occur just because of Yulan's mouth? Anyway, Yulan's accident happened at the Tian family, so we can just hold on to this.

If I had known you would be such a black-hearted person, I should have soaked you in the toilet in the first place to prevent you from harming others when you grow up.

Because she was too fat, she couldn't get up after crawling for a long time. It looked funny. + +"Hahaha!" + +Tian Sisi was happy again. She even ran to the old lady Shou and stuck out her tongue, just to make her mad. Tian Sisi had no sympathy at all for this old lady who abused Tian Manlan. + +After teasing the old woman Shou, everyone was in a very good mood, and Jianguo also had a smile on his face.

When he saw Tian Sisi and the group of people, he secretly complained in his heart, why are these Bodhisattvas here again? He greeted Tian Sisi with a smile on his face.

However, they still hesitated for a moment—Shou Liguo was not like the three brothers of the former Shou Jianguo; his father doted on this boy very much. If his father, Shou Chengzu, found out and came to their homes to complain, they would be beaten by their parents. +Tian Sisi took out another handful of candies from the bag. Hum, she didn't believe that these children were not attracted by it. Sure enough, seeing the full handful of candies in Tian Sisi's hand, the children no longer cared about whether they would be beaten. No matter what, they ate the candies first. So they squealed and threw Shou Liguo, who had not yet reacted, to the ground. Each of them punched Shou Liguo until he cried for father and mother. + +These kids weren't very harsh, and they were much lighter than the beatings Jianguo and Weiguo had before.

She doesn't have to worry about how to save a penny or two cents. He is responsible for making money. A-nan just needs to spend money. Now Tian Xinhua is in charge of making wine. Tian Sisi just takes out the fermented rice berries and hands them to Tian Xinhua, completely becoming the hands-off shopkeeper. + +The thousand-year-old torreya tree king is indeed extraordinary. The diameter of the crown is at least ten meters wide. The tree body cannot be hugged by several of them. The tree is about two or three stories high, with lush branches and leaves, and there are many small green fruits on it, hidden under the leaves. The leaves of the torreya tree are somewhat similar to those of the silver fir tree. They are all feathery leaves. + +Torreya trees grow very slowly. From seedlings to adults, it takes at least ten years to harvest fruits, and the fruits of torreya trees are also very strange. From flowering to fruiting to picking. It takes three years. In other words, the torreya trees picked this year were grown three years ago. + +Moreover, the torreya tree is divided into big and small years, ordinary years are small years, and leap years are big years. Torreya trees in big years will have a good harvest, but in small years the yield will be less. This is the same as moso bamboo. + +In addition, picking torreyas is completely manual, even when Tian Sisi came from the previous life. It cannot be mechanized. Torreyas and pecans in Lin'an are the same. They both have to be climbed up the tree and hooked to hook the fruits. It is very dangerous. Therefore, falling accidents always occur when picking torreyas and pecans every year. This has become a general rule. + +Furthermore, torreya is a tree species that has very high requirements on weather and location. Only cities in the world can grow torreya, and only a few mountain villages in the city can grow it. Huangkeng Village is one of these villages. This is why torreya was so expensive in the previous life, costing nearly 200 yuan per kilogram, and most of it was exported to Japan. + +Thinking of this, Tian Sisi solemnly said to Jianguo: "Jianguo, let me tell you, these torreya trees are precious. If you have the opportunity in the future, you must get more of them at home. Don't want those moso bamboos. You must get more torreya trees. Maybe you three brothers and my sister-in-law won't have to work in the future, and you can make a fortune just relying on these torreya trees." + +Tian Xinhua flicked Tian Sisi's nose, "Don't make blind ideas for Jianguo and make a fortune? Who is willing to buy these torreya seeds to eat now? Jianguo, don't listen to grandma's nonsense." + +"Why am I talking nonsense? No one is willing to buy and eat it now. It doesn't mean that no one is willing to buy and eat it in the future. I only know that scarcity is the price of things. This torreya can only be grown in these few places, and it is so delicious. It will definitely be sold very expensive in the future. Jianguo, you must listen to me." Tian Sisi touched her nose and retorted unconvinced. + +"Things that are rare are valuable, and things that are rare are valuable. Yes, why didn't I think of that?" + +Tian Xinhua murmured a few words, his eyes brightened, but then darkened again, "But no matter how expensive it is, it's useless. These trees are all owned by the public. What do you want Jianguo to do with them? Be careful of being cut off as the tail of capitalism." + +"Oh, it's not like I asked Jianguo to do it now, maybe there will be a chance in the future! Anyway, I just remind Jianguo that when you have the opportunity in the future, you must remember what I said today. If Jianguo really makes a fortune from these torreya trees in the future, I won't accept the thank you gift. You will take care of all the torreya trees I want to eat in the future." + +Tian Sisi said with a smile, she could already foresee the rich scene of eating torreyas and throwing them away one by one in the future. + +Jianguo replied seriously: "If I really get a lot of torreya trees in the future, I will give them all to Sister Sisi. I don't want them." + +"I don't want it either. It's all for Sister Sisi. My brother and I don't like torreya." Wei Guo also agreed. In his opinion, what's so delicious about torreya is that it's not as delicious as biscuits. + +"Haha, then I will make a fortune, but I can't take advantage of you. As long as I have torreya seeds to eat, what do I need the trees for?" + +"Then give me the tree and the seeds to Sister Sisi." Jianguo thought for a while and then changed his approach. + +"Okay, give me the torreya seeds to eat. If you can't finish it, sell it and give the money to my sister-in-law. Is this good?" + +"Okay." + +Tian Xinhua couldn't help laughing while listening to the conversation between Tian Sisi and Jianguo. She might have asked Jianguo to buy more torreya trees just because she wanted to eat them.

Although Tian Sisi understood a little, she was already enveloped in excitement at this time, so she didn't realize that classmate Jianguo had gone astray. + +Tian Manlan looked at her eldest son guiltily and reached out to touch his face. Jianguo gently avoided it. Tian Manlan's tears suddenly flowed out again. Tian Sisi was a little bored. She couldn't help but said: + +"Sister-in-law, what else will you do besides crying? Can crying solve the problem? Grandpa even said we should bleed but not shed tears. Why don't you look like grandpa and my mother at all?" + +Tian Sisi and Tian Xinhua are different. Tian Manlan is now younger than when she had the accident in her previous life. In her heart, she actually treats Tian Manlan as an equal, so she doesn't have so many scruples when speaking. But fortunately, Tian Manlan has a gentle personality. If it were anyone else, she would definitely be provoked by Tian Sisi's tone. + +Shou Jizu laughed, but he was complaining in his heart. This little niece from Manlan's family looked so pretty, but why was she so naughty? And that Tian Xinhua, who seems to be silent, is not a good person either. + +No wonder the eldest brother and his mother suffered such a big loss at the hands of the two of them, and Jianguo, who used to look like a little mouse, how come he has turned into a little leopard now? He looks a bit like his father-in-law. + +Shou Jizu was very afraid of the old man. After he deceived Tian Manlan, he made a special trip to the Tian family and bought a lot of things, but the old man threw them out and told him not to come to the house in the future. The Tian family did not even recognize Tian Manlan as their daughter, and his son-in-law had nothing to do with the Tian family. To this day, he still remembers the way the old man looked at him, cold, like two bayonets. + +It was then that he truly realized what murderous aura was. It turned out that this thing really existed. He had heard Mr. Shu say that if he killed many people, he would have murderous aura in his body. At that time, he only took it as a joke. + +It can be seen that after seeing the old man's eyes, he really believed it. How many people must his father-in-law kill to have such murderous intent? That's why Shou Jizu has never been to the Tian family's gate since then. Of course, it's not because of self-esteem. Self-esteem can't be found in Shou Jizu. He is afraid of the old man and is afraid that the old man will really kill him. + +"Then listen to Jianguo and stay here for one night. We will go back early tomorrow morning, and Jianguo, Weiguo and Baoguo will also follow." Tian Xinhua said lightly. + +"Yes, yes, we'll leave tomorrow. Man Lan hasn't gone to cook dinner yet. Come on, come on, come in and have a drink of water." Shou Jizu, with a smile on his face, asked the children to go inside and sit down. + +As an outsider, He Chengsi couldn't get involved in this kind of family conflict, so he never said anything. Now that the conflict was resolved, he breathed a sigh of relief and was about to pile the firewood on the ground into the woodshed, but Tian Sisi held him back. + +"Brother He, let my brother-in-law move it. How can he, an adult, let us children do such physical work!" + +"Yes, yes, how can I, an adult, let you children carry firewood? Come into the house quickly and leave this to me." + +Shou Jizu followed Tian Sisi's words, but secretly complained in his heart, how come these little ancestors can't get along with him today?

Fortunately, it was not beyond hope. + +Tian Xinhua smiled and pulled Tian Sisi's hair. Grandma was really narrow-minded. Looking at Shou Jizu's thin body, it would probably cost Shou Jizu half his life to carry these two bundles of firewood. He Chengsi and Tian Xinhua were very strong. The two bundles of firewood must have weighed at least seventy or eighty kilograms. They almost cost Shou Jizu half his life. + +When it was almost time to have dinner, Shou Jizu turned pale and walked in with empty steps. Tian Sisi ran out and took a look. The firewood was all piled into the woodshed, but there were many branches and leaves scattered on the ground, and the firewood in the woodshed was also piled in a mess. + +"Brother-in-law, you are really not good at what you do. My father stacks firewood neatly every time. There are not even a single twig or leaf on the ground. Look at what you did, it looks like it was scratched by a dog." + +Tian Sisi was not polite at all. Anyway, in the eyes of the people in Huangkeng Village, she was just a cute young lady, so why should she be so rude. + +"Auntie, please let my brother-in-law rest, his waist is almost broken." + +Shou Jizu wanted to be lazy, but when he saw several children staring at him coldly, he could only say with a bitter face: "Okay, my uncle will do it after dinner, okay?" + +"Okay, brother-in-law, you have to remember that!"

He just needs someone to keep pushing him, and Shou Jizu also has an advantage, that is, he has a very good temper. If it were another adult who was assigned like this by a child, he would have jumped up long ago, but Shou Jizu is still smiling, so Tian Sisi feels less bad about Shou Jizu in her heart. + +The dinner was very rich because of Tian Sisi's pheasant and hare. Tian Manlan put a bowl of pheasant meat in a bowl and wanted to take it out. When Weiguo saw it, he asked, "Mom, where are you going to take the chicken?" + +"I'll send some to your grandparents." + +"No, grandma and grandpa never give it to us if they have delicious food. They give it to Shou Liguo. They often bully us. These chickens were caught by Brother Xinhua and Sister Sisi. Don't give them to them." + +Weiguo jumped up. Although he was young, the bullying and differential treatment he received from Shou's family left a deep mark on his young mind. + +"Oh. If you don't give it, I won't give it. Anyway, my parents don't need this meat to eat. Come on, let's sit down and eat." + +Shou Jizu was not willing to give it to him. He hadn't eaten meat for several months, and his mouth felt like a bird. Besides, he had no feelings for his parents. In the eyes of his parents, only the eldest brother and the youngest brother were their sons. + +"Weiguo, this is filial piety. If the villagers know that we eat chicken but don't send it to your grandparents, they will poke our spines." Tian Manlan rolled her eyes at her husband and patiently explained to her son. + +Wei Guo wanted to say something else, but was persuaded by Jianguo. On this point, Tian Manlan had done nothing wrong. China has always paid attention to filial piety. No matter whether parents are parents, they are still elders after all. Even in such an open era in the previous life, if any child did something unfilial to their parents, they would be criticized by thousands of people, even if the parents were not conscientious parents. + +Tian Sisi rolled her eyes and came up with a good idea. She scratched off some of the chicken on Tian Manlan's hand, found a basket and put it in, then took another bowl and filled half a bowl of sweet potatoes, and then put some chicken on top. + +It's just that the meat Tian Sisi sandwiched was only two or three pieces of meat on the surface, and the lower layer was filled with chicken bones with the meat removed.

Tian Sisi would rather give the meat to the village chief than to the dead old woman and her family. + +When Tian Manlan heard that it was for the village chief, she didn't object. During this period, she was also thanks to the care of the village chief's uncle, but how could the other bowl be filled like this? If people knew about it, they wouldn't be able to scold her. Although Tian Manlan felt it was wrong, she didn't say anything, fearing that her niece would be unhappy. + +Although Shou Jizu was sore with another bowl full of chicken, he knew that the village chief's uncle should still give it to him.

How about adding a few more pieces of sweet potato?" + +Is this the biological son of the Shou family? Tian Sisi was also speechless, but she felt less ill-will towards Shou Jizu. Yes, both parents and wife firmly supported his wife. Based on this, Shou Jizu was still a good husband. No wonder Tian Manlan was so devoted to this scumbag Shou Jizu. + +"Brother-in-law, if you leave too little, people in the village will notice. We still have to do it to save face." + +Tian Sisi educated Shou Jizu in a good voice. Since Tian Manlan was devoted to this man and he was not a scumbag, she should respect him a little. After all, he was an elder. + +"Yes, yes, A'nan is thoughtful." Shou Jizu responded with a smile. + +Tian Xinhua is also a little speechless about Shou Jizu, but like Tian Sisi, although he doesn't respect this elder, he is not as disgusted as before.

Gradually getting on the right track, the schedule written by Tian Xinhua in pencil on the homework paper was treasured by Shou Jizu, and he said with a smile that that day was the new life of his Shou Jizu. + +Tian Manlan, who was making a fire to cook rice, was called away by Tian Xinhua. He asked Shou Jizu to light the fire in the kitchen. Tian Sisi handed the renovation plan to Tian Manlan to read. Tian Manlan read it carefully and couldn't help but laugh. + +How could she not know what kind of person her husband was? Although she sometimes regretted marrying such a man, this path was her own choice. When she broke up with her parents because of this man, Tian Manlan had no choice but to jump into the abyss ahead. + +However, although Stepzu had a lot of problems and could not earn money to support the family, he was still kind to himself. Every time he went out and came back, he would bring gifts for her. Although he did not work to earn work points at home, whenever she came back after working hard, Stepzu would greet her and say some heart-warming sweet words, which were as sweet as honey. After hearing this, she felt less tired. + +If Tian Sisi could hear Tian Manlan's thoughts, she would definitely scold this silly woman to wake her up. Can sweet words be used as food? Say a few nice words without any effort, this man is just trying to coax you to act like a bull. + +"Xinhua, Grandma, my sister-in-law knows your good intentions, but your little-uncle's character has been fixed, and it will be difficult to change." Tian Manlan said it tactfully. She knew that her nephew and niece had good intentions. + +"Sister-in-law, you just need to cooperate with us. We will do the other things. Are you going to do this forever, sister-in-law? Look at your appearance now. When you go out with your uncle, others will treat you as his sister. In a few years, you can be my uncle's mother." + +Tian Sisi knew how to hit a woman's pain point. She handed the mirror to Tian Manlan. As expected, Tian Manlan's complexion changed drastically. She was usually busy with work and didn't even have time to look in the mirror. Even when she combed her hair, she just combed it casually with a comb. How long had it been since she had looked in the mirror? + +Who is this woman with messy hair, old face, and wrinkles in the mirror? Is this her Tian Manlan? How could she become like this? + +Tian Manlan looked at her face in disbelief, as if she didn't believe that this woman was herself. Tian Sisi looked at Tian Manlan's expression with satisfaction. Sure enough, women all care about their appearance, but no one reminded her. + +Tian Sisi continued to stimulate, "Sister, look at what you have become. I heard my mother-in-law said that you were beautiful before, but now you look even older than my eldest aunt, and you are not good-looking at all." + +Tian Manlan burst into tears. Although she knew that she looked old and haggard now and would not look good, but hearing it from the mouth of the child Tian Sisi was more exciting than seeing it herself. At this moment, Tian Manlan felt a little more resentful towards Shou Jizu. If her husband hadn't been too disappointing, how could she have turned into such an old woman? + +The greatly stimulated Tian Manlan wiped her tears, changed from her usual indecision, and said decisively: "Then how are you going to reform Father Jianguo? How do you need my cooperation?" + +"Sister-in-law, you don't have to do anything. As long as you don't coddle my uncle like you did before, you can leave physical work like chopping wood and farming to your uncle. If your uncle doesn't want to do it, then you don't have to do it either. If you want to be hungry, let's all be hungry together. There's no reason for you, sister-in-law, to work alone to support my uncle. Dad has said that men are born to support the family." + +Tian Sisi really wanted to instill the feminist ideas from her previous life into Tian Manlan's mind, so that she would stop being so hardworking and uncomplaining, but she didn't dare to say it. Now she was carrying the body of a little lolita, so Tian Sisi had to try her best to express these ideas in a child's innocent tone, hoping that Tian Manlan could understand her painstaking efforts. + +Tian Manlan seemed a little hesitant. She knew her niece was right, but her husband was so tolerant that he would stay in bed even if the sky fell.

In terms of appearance, he is the most beautiful among the three brothers. It combines all the advantages of the Shouzong couple. But I don’t know why, but they have not been treated well by the Shou Yaozong couple since they were young, and they are always beaten or scolded. If the old lady of the Shou family hadn't given birth to Shou Jizu, the midwife in the village would have personally delivered her. The villagers might suspect that Shou Jizu was brought back by Shou Yaozong from outside. + +It was also because Shou Jizu had no respect for Shou Yaozong and his wife. He never looked at each other more than once throughout the year and was as indifferent as a passerby. + +"Mom, why are you so crazy?

Since there was no shortage of meat at home, they all only ate a few pieces of meat. Tian Manlan was reluctant to eat and only ate a little. Only Shou Jizu was like a hungry tiger descending the mountain, picking out all the meat to eat. + +"Bah, where did the meat come from? There are only two pieces of meat, which are not enough to fill the teeth of a country. You are blind when you look at me!" + +Mrs. Shou was stupid enough.

He is really angry. + +"Yaowu, it's really not meat, it's really sweet potato. I didn't lie to you." Shou Yaozong hurriedly defended. + +Now Shou Yaowu and other villagers were a little suspicious. If the old woman of the Shou family said this, they would not believe it. But now that Shou Yaozong said it again and again, they did believe it a little bit. They all looked at Shou Jizu and Tian Manlan with suspicion. + +Shou Jizu had come to his senses. When he saw the looks in the villagers' eyes, he pressed Tian Manlan, who was still crying in his arms, tighter. Fearing that his wife would be embarrassed, his eyes turned red and he cried again: "Dad, you are so meaty. How could I lie to you with sweet potatoes? You can't wrongfully accuse me and Manlan of our filial piety!" + +This is a good time, it's fair to say it's fair. My mother-in-law said that she was right, and Shou Jizu didn't look like he was just faking it. What on earth is going on? + +Tian Manlan was so ashamed in Shou Jizu's arms that she didn't even dare to raise her head, and others didn't take her seriously. Everyone in the village knew that Shou Jizu's wife was made of water, and she wouldn't stop crying for half an hour. + +Tian Qinghua and the others who were hunting in the mountains had already come back, and they were all watching coldly outside. Seeing that Shou Jianguo was frozen at this moment, he had an idea. So he sneaked into Shoucheng's ancestral home. Based on his understanding of the old woman Shou, the old woman would definitely not be willing to throw away those bones from last night. She would definitely put them away to make porridge. + +Sure enough, it was in the uneaten sweet potato porridge in the kitchen. Jianguo found chicken bones. He took the chopsticks and picked out all the bones into the bowl. He ran to the yard and shouted, "If my mother sent me sweet potatoes, where did these bones come from?" + +Shou Chengzu's expression changed. He didn't expect that this kid Jianguo would find these bones. This time it was really impossible to argue. One step was wrong and the other was wrong. At this moment, Shou Chengzu regretted it. He should have come back earlier. If he had come back earlier, he would have had time to stop his mother-in-law. + +"What they sent last night were bones, with sweet potatoes at the bottom, bones in the middle, and two pieces of meat on top. It's real." Mrs. Shou was anxious and hurriedly explained the situation of the bowl of meat last night. + +But no one believed her at this time, not even Shou Yaowu. He didn't bother to say more, scolded Shou Yaozong and Shou Chengzu severely, and said that if he saw the old lady of the Shou family looking for Shou's successor next time, don't blame him for being rude. + +The villagers dispersed and watched the ups and downs of the farce. They were all still unfinished and talking about it. However, they all showed contempt for Shou Yaozong and his wife and Shou Chengzu, and occasionally let out a few chuckles. + +After everyone left, Shou Jizu immediately returned to his usual ruffian self, and said to Shou Chengzu with a smile: + +"Brother, how does the meat I sent taste? There is so much meat, that boy Li Guo can't eat it all, tsk tsk, it's really delicious! No wonder he is so strong, Thailand is two years older than Li Guo and Li Guo is not strong yet!" + +Shou Chengzu looked at Shou Jizu gloomily, "Second brother, if you have any objections to me, just say so. Why are you so secretive? What you do really makes me, the eldest brother, feel chilled." + +"Oh, brother, you are wronging me by saying this. I have no objection to brother. Why don't I give you meat to eat? Don't be ignorant of the good people's hearts. Man Lan, why don't you go back and cook? Your man's stomach is so hungry. Damn it, I've been working for a long time and I haven't even had a drink of water!" + +Shou Jizu was too lazy to talk nonsense, so he showed an extremely provocative smile to Shou Chengzu, and then pulled Tian Manlan back to the house. Shou Sizu had also been pulled into the house by his wife, and only Shou Yaozong, his wife, and Shou Chengzu were left in the huge yard. + +"If you don't go in yet, it will be embarrassing to stand outside!" Shou Chengzu cursed at his wife and took the lead in entering the house, followed closely by Shou Yaozong and the others. + +As soon as Shou Jizu entered the room, he drank three large glasses of water, then sighed comfortably, lying on the wicker chair with his legs crossed and humming a tune. He didn't look like a good person. + +Tian Sisi looked at her uncle with a smile, and she understood why her sister-in-law Tian Manlan was completely devoted to Shou Jizu in her previous life. Although Shou Jizu could not support his family, he had a great advantage, that is, he fully supported his wife, which many men could not do. + +According to incomplete statistics in previous lives, many divorced couples died because the man could not handle the conflict between his wife and mother-in-law, and even intensified the conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, which led to the demise of the marriage. + +"Xinhua, you were not honest just now. Your uncle almost died." Shou Jizu then remembered to settle old scores. + +"If I don't do that, how can my uncle act realistically?" + +"That's right, but if this happens again next time, Xinhua, you have to act faster, your little uncle can't help but be scared." Shou Jizu is so weird that he still thinks about it next time. + +Tian Manlan, who was cooking, heard their conversation. When she heard that it was an act, she was furious. She ran to Shou Jizu and grabbed his ear, "Are you out of your mind? You can pretend to seek death? You have to scare me to death before you accept it, right?" + +At this time, Tian Manlan was not at all the Wei Wei Nao Nao of the past, but she looked a bit like the Hedong Lion. + +"How can you? I'm just trying to scare you there, so that the old woman won't always come to trouble you." + +Tian Manlan laughed at Shou Jizu's words and ran back to continue cooking. Tian Sisi shook her head. Tian Manlan was eaten to death by Shou Jizu. + +He Chengsi and the others still gained something in the mountains in the morning, a pheasant and a hare. Tian Manlan planned to cook a chicken at noon, but Tian Sisi stopped him. The noon time was too hasty and they were about to go back after dinner. They should save the meat for dinner. + +Shou Jizu smiled brightly and persuaded Tian Sisi and the others to stay for a few more days. Although these little guys loved to take care of him when they lived at home, they had meat to eat every day. Considering the two factors, Shou Jizu didn't mind being controlled by Tian Sisi and the others.(To be continued.) \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/09/eng_cont/i_0139.txt b/09/eng_cont/i_0139.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..250dff6d5b36962456190d1d5dea6a04563f146f --- /dev/null +++ b/09/eng_cont/i_0139.txt @@ -0,0 +1,61 @@ +Chapter 139 Oversight. + +"Uncle, if we are not here, you still have to go to work every day.

I will supervise you at all times." + +Although Wei Guo is only 6 years old, he is quick-thinking and articulate.

He was really a boy who was born to collect debts! + +In the afternoon, Shou Jizu was dug out of bed by Wei Guo and forced to go to work. Tian Sisi and the others were also preparing to go back. Bao Guo couldn't bear to leave his second brother and kept pulling Wei Guo to follow him. Wei Guo's eyes were red. He actually wanted to go back with his eldest brother and Sisi, but with his father's virtue, it was really impossible for no one to watch! + +Wei Guo also hopes that his father will get better, just like his uncle and the others. Every time Tsinghua University mentions his fourth uncle, he always looks proud. He also hopes that he will no longer look ashamed when mentioning his father in front of others. And just like Tsinghua University, I can proudly say my father's name. + +Tian Sisi took out ten dollars from her pocket and handed it to Wei Guo, "Wei Guo, keep this money. If there is no good food at home, you can go to the village to buy eggs and cook them yourself. But you must not go hungry. Do you hear me?" + +"Sister Sisi, we have food at home, but I can't use this money." Wei Guo refused to accept it. Ten yuan was a lot. Even my mother may not even have ten dollars on her! + +"Just take it if you are told to. Keep the money and don't let your father know about it." + +Tian Sisi stuffed the money into Weiguo's pocket, and also stuffed him with a pack of biscuits and a pack of candy.

So as not to suffer a loss. + +Wei Guo agreed one by one and sent Tian Sisi and the others away with red eyes. They stood on the hillside until no one could see them before going back. I'm looking forward to Saturday coming soon. + +Going back was downhill, so the speed increased a lot. Tian Sisi sat on the front bumper of the car, her little head falling asleep little by little. She lay in Tian Xinhua's arms, like a little pig. Tian Xinhua smiled and slowed down, letting He Chengsi and the others go first, while he slowly followed behind. + +Tian Sisi didn't wake up when she got home. Tian Xinhua simply carried her upstairs, put her gently on the bed, and covered her with a quilt. Tian Xinhua looked at Tian Sisi sleeping soundly for a while, with her mouth slightly open and her cheeks rosy. With a thought, Tian Sisi flicked her nose. Tian Sisi hummed twice, pouted, turned over and fell asleep again. + +What a little pig. Tian Xinhua shook his head and went down. Mrs. Zhao was not at home, but the door was unlocked. He thought she was nearby. He didn't go looking for anyone, bolted the door and went home. + +Tian Sisi slept until she was about to eat and woke up. As soon as she woke up, she asked Mrs. Zhao to boil water for her to take a bath. It was inconvenient to take a bath at Tian Manlan's place last night, and Xiao Baoguo was soaked in child urine. She now felt uncomfortable all over her body. + +Mrs. Zhao still didn't know that Wei Guo hadn't come back with her. When it was time for dinner, she served two bowls of food as usual and called out, "Wei Guo, help grandma deliver the dishes to your Uncle He." Since Tang Tieshan and his grandson didn't eat at home, Mrs. Zhao would ask Wei Guo to send two bowls every time she cooked good food. Wei Guo himself also liked to do this job. + +No one answered the call. Only then did Mrs. Zhao realize that Wei Guo was not there. Others also noticed and looked at Tian Sisi. She hurriedly said: "Mother, Wei Guo has not come back. He stayed in Huangkeng Village." + +Mrs. Zhao's expression changed, "What's going on? Why didn't Wei Guo come back with you? Is it your brother-in-law who didn't let him come?" + +Mrs. Zhao had a conspiracy theory. She first thought that it must be Shou Jizu, that bastard, who prevented his grandson from getting married to her (Shou Jizu cried bitterly, I wish Weiguo could go to your old man's house).

Tian Sisi comforted the anxious old lady. + +Mrs. Zhao asked Donghua to deliver the dishes. After hearing what her granddaughter said, she was no longer in a hurry.

That king Shou Jizu..." Mrs. Zhao seemed to realize that it was not good to call Jianguo's father a bastard in front of Jianguo, so she changed her words and said: + +"How can your little uncle be able to change? Country can be changed, but nature is hard to change. Can a dog be changed to eat shit? You'd better stop fooling around, Man Yin. Tomorrow you go and bring Wei Guo back. I'm not worried if Wei Guo is left alone." + +Tian Sisi cursed in her heart, of course dogs can eat shit. The Samoyed that her neighbor raised before she came here in her previous life shouldn't be too well-fed. The dog food cost tens of dollars a pack, and the dog accessories on her body were all famous brands. The shampoo and shower gel were higher-end than what she used. When she got sick, a specialized pet doctor came to treat him, and the treatment was much better than that of a human being. + +"Mother, let's give it a try.

Besides, he is also quite smart, but a little lazy." + +Then Tian Sisi sent her sweet potatoes pretending to be meat, and Mrs. Shou came to make trouble.

And if you press the nozzle of this pepper spray and spray it on the enemy's face, the high-concentration pepper spray sprayed out will make the enemy incapacitated and you can take the opportunity to escape." + +He Xuewen has lived in Shanghai since he was a child. Of course he understands the concept of 20, 000 volts of high voltage. Is this little thing like a flashlight really so powerful? Where did Grandma come from? + +In the last words left by the ancestors, they only said that there were secret recipes and materials for brewing wine and some food in the blessed land, but they did not say that there were these weird things in it? + +Did Grandma bring these herself?

Are there many such things there?" + +Although He Xuewen was in a state of turmoil, his face remained calm and he asked Tian Sisi in a low voice. + +"Yes, they are all from the blessed land. The blessed land not only contains the ingredients and secret recipes for making wine, but also a large house with many strange and weird things. These two are just the most inconspicuous among them. It's a pity that you can't go in, otherwise you can see it with your own eyes." + +Tian Sisi told half-truths about the shopping mall, and to show that what she said was true, she also took out a mobile phone from the shopping mall and handed it to He Xuewen with a smile. Even if He Xuewen was well-informed, how could he know the future? + +He Xuewen studied this small square that glowed and produced portraits like a movie for a long time in his hand, but he couldn't figure out the reason.

There are images in it, and it can also sing. It's just like a movie." + +Tian Sisi asked this deliberately, with the intention of convincing He Xuewen that she did not know these things, so that He Xuewen would not suspect that she was not the original owner. In fact, Tian Sisi was overly concerned, and He Xuewen would never suspect that she was not his biological daughter. + +He Xuewen's face was slightly red and he looked a little embarrassed. This question really stumped him. Fortunately, he still boasted in front of his grandmother that he could ask his father if he didn't understand anything. It hurt his pride too much. + +"My father doesn't know this thing. It should be something similar to a radio. Ah, put it away quickly and don't take it out again, lest it be seen by others." + +What He Xuewen said was not completely wrong. The mobile phone and the radio are the same ancestors, but they are just a few generations apart. Tian Sisi nodded obediently, put the phone back in, said a few more words to He Xuewen, and then went to sleep in her room. + +He Xuewen didn't pay much attention to what Tian Sisi took out. In his opinion, no one had ever entered the blessed land mentioned by his ancestors, and no one knew what was in it.

There were no ready-made red envelopes to buy at this time. She bought red paper, cut it, and then glued it with rice grains or batter. Mrs. Zhao had already glued several red envelopes and was putting money in them. + +Mrs. Zhao prepared only one-yuan banknotes. Each red envelope contained two one-yuan bills. She wrapped a total of four red envelopes and spread them out on the table. + +"Mother, what are you doing with the red envelope? Does anyone in the village want to hold a wedding reception?"

Will grandpa go too?" + +"Your grandpa is not going. He is having dinner at home with your grandpa Tang and Qiu Bai." + +The old man rarely participates in village activities, and Mrs. Zhao usually takes the initiative. However, if a family can invite the old man to do something, then the host family will be quite respectable. + +So far, the old man has only attended the 90th birthday banquet of Uncle Zhong, the oldest person in the village, last year. People in Suicheng have to hold birthdays two years in advance. Therefore, although Uncle Zhong is only eighty-nine now, he has already celebrated his 90th birthday. At that time, the old man went to congratulate him in person, which made Uncle Zhong and his family feel very glorious. + +"Mother, why are you giving so many red envelopes?" Tian Sisi was very surprised why Mrs. Zhao was giving so many red envelopes. + +"Your grandpa and I have one share, and your third uncle, father, and brother-in-law have three shares. This means four shares." + +Although Tian Aiguo and Tian Mantong do not live in the village, whenever there is any wedding or wedding in the village, they will ask Mrs. Zhao to pay the favor first and pay it back when they come back later. This is also an attitude that shows that although they no longer live in the village, their roots are still in Yuequan Village. + +Some people may think that this is a waste of money. How can someone like Tian Aiguo come back to this mountain nest when he is a high-ranking official outside? + +At the beginning, Tian Aiguo's wife Xu Qianwen felt a little distressed about these favors and money. Although they are only one or two pieces. But it would be a lot after one year, so she took advantage of the Chinese New Year to go home and proposed to Mrs. Zhao that she would not leave the village in the future. Anyway, she and Aiguo did not live in the village. + +Mrs. Zhao didn't say much, she just called her eldest son over. Ask him if that's what he meant. After hearing this, Tian Aiguo glared at his wife. Dang even firmly stated that the favor in the village must continue. He walked out of Yuequan Village, so of course he could not cut off his connection with Yuequan Village. + +Only then did the old man and Mrs. Zhao feel satisfied. As long as it wasn't their son's idea, as for Xu Qianwen, they didn't take it to heart at all. Huh, isn't he just a Shanghainese? What's so impressive about it?

He originally planned to pretend to have two pieces." + +He Xuewen refused to admit that he had made a mistake. This was related to his face in front of his daughter.

At the same age of three, Bao Guo looked much more mature. Although sometimes Bao Guo would be naughty, most of the time he was sensible and well-behaved. This was probably because the children of the poor had already taken charge. + +Li Yuedi didn't care about their children.

Uncle Chunsheng asked my fourth brother to be the best man." Tian Qinghua chirped while eating toffee. + +Tian Sisi suddenly realized that after being a child for so long, she had forgotten the customs of the city. When getting married there, the groom needs to have more than two groomsmen. The principle is similar to the current best man. Generally, young unmarried men who are handsome, tall, articulate, and have a good drinking capacity are chosen to serve as groomsmen. + +The number of groomsmen should be equal to the number of bridesmaids of the other bride, and they are all even numbers. The more they are, the more solemn they are. This time I heard that the bride’s family invited six groomsmen, so Tian Chunsheng’s family also had six groomsmen. They had no choice but to recruit Tian Shouhua, who was still only sixteen years old, to make up the number. Fortunately, Tian Shouhua was tall and handsome, and he was talented, so being the best man would not bring shame to the host’s family. + +"Auntie, do you have any more toffee? I can't get enough of one." + +Tian Qinghua finished chewing the toffee in his mouth and asked Tian Sisi for another one. The white rabbit is really delicious, even more delicious than wedding candy. + +"Brother Qinghua, you can't eat it. You can only eat one piece a day.

The number of the six concubines gradually decreased with the toasting, and they were all dragged by the young men at the table to accompany them to drink. + +When they arrived at Tian Sisi's table, none of the concubines were left, leaving only the groom, the bride and six groomsmen. Tian Shouhua probably drank a few too many glasses of wine, and his face was a little rosy, which was very different from his usual gentle appearance. The bride's relatives kept asking about whose family this handsome young man belonged to. + +Tian Sisi took a piece of braised pork and put it in Tian Shouhua's mouth. The groomsmen must have not had time to eat. Drinking on an empty stomach is the worst thing for the stomach. It's better to fill Brother Shouhua with something to eat. Tian Shouhua was hungry and hurriedly opened his mouth to eat the piece of meat. Seeing this, Tian Xinhua simply asked him to sit down and eat. + +Since the table was full of elders and no one was making any fuss, everyone took a sip of wine and let the bride and groom go. The bride looked at Tian Sisi a few more times before leaving. She didn't expect that there would be such a fashionable little girl in the countryside. Even her little cousin in Shanghai was not so fashionable. She didn't know whose family she belonged to? + +Tian Pinggui followed his wife's eyes and smiled knowingly: "That little girl's name is Tian Sisi. She is the grand-nephew daughter of our village secretary. Her grandfather is an old revolutionary who retired from Beijing. She is the baby of the whole family, as you will know later." + +The bride wanted to ask a few more questions, but she quickly walked to the next table. I had no choice but to toast with my husband’s sweet smile. + +In the middle of the banquet, there was a sudden commotion outside. Many people were making noises. They didn’t know what they were shouting because they were too far away to hear clearly. + +Tian Sisi ate a chicken foot and chicken wing, and then half a bowl of fried tofu, and her stomach was full. She was bored next to Tian Manyin, being a good baby. When she heard the noise outside, she ran to watch the excitement, and Tian Xinhua grabbed her. + +"There's no need to go, Grandma, they will come in soon." + +Sure enough, not long after, Comrade Tian Chunsheng tied a rake to his back, followed by a group of people, smiling. Tian Sisi knew what he was doing at a glance. She didn't expect that this prank wedding custom would start now. It was really speechless. + +It turns out that there is a very bad custom in Suicheng when getting married. In the middle of the wedding banquet, the bride's father, the father-in-law, has to carry a rake on his back and walk around the banquet. As he walks, he shouts, "Grandpa doesn't pick up the ashes, where will the grandson come from!" + +Because people in Suicheng like to call grandpa with the word "picking ash" in front, that is, "picking ash grandpa". The person calling is just joking, and the person being called doesn't take it seriously and is used to it. + +However, Tian Sisi didn't like this custom at all. In her previous life, when she was having a wedding reception, her ex-father-in-law was also teased like this. She felt really uncomfortable at the time and had to endure it to keep her face. + +At this time, Tian Chunsheng was walking happily and shouting, "Grandpa doesn't pick up the ashes, where will the grandson come from!" He happened to come to Tian Sisi's table. Tian Manyin and He Xuewen were all smiling, seeming to appreciate Tian Chunsheng's performance at this time. + +"Dad, what does picking up ashes mean?" Tian Sisi asked narrowly. + +Tian Manyin's face froze. How should he answer this? Could it be that for him to say that removing ashes means that the father-in-law and his daughter-in-law committed adultery? How could he say this in front of his daughter? Really, Tian Manyin was a bit complaining about Tian Chunsheng at this time. + +What's wrong with shouting? Why do you want to come to their table and shout? He screamed so loudly, and his grandmother heard it. Tian Manyin had forgotten that he was quite happy to see it just now. + +"Well, ask your father, your father knows more." Tian Manyin slyly kicked the ball to He Xuewen. + +He Xuewen glared at Tian Manyin fiercely, cleared his throat, and after thinking for a long time, said: "Ana, you will understand this problem when you grow up. Now that you are still young, you can't understand even if my father tells you." + +"Oh!" + +Tian Sisi was secretly amused, but she didn't push the two dads too hard. Huh, she already knew what it meant. She asked this on purpose. Who made you two so happy watching the show just now? + +Seeing that Tian Sisi did not break the casserole and ask the truth, Tian Manyin and He Xuewen both secretly breathed a sigh of relief, finally getting over it. + +Tian Sisi and the others were going home after dinner because they didn't want to attend the wedding ceremony. The remaining young people were still dragging six beauties to accompany the concubines to drink! Today's six concubines are not only beautiful, but also very generous, and they are not at all ambiguous when drinking. + +One of the prettiest concubines, looking so delicate and weak, unexpectedly turned out to be a female man. She drank wine without blinking an eye. She had already beaten several young men, and they all ran outside to vomit. After vomiting, they came back and lay on the table and groaned. + +"This concubine is great, she has the most beautiful appearance, and she is also the best at drinking. She has already drunk three or four of our young people from Yuequan Village." + +"These young men are so bad, they can't even drink a girl. Old man, if I were a few decades younger, I would definitely be able to drink this girl." + +The one who spoke was Tian Bajin. When he saw that the younger generation in his village was so unsatisfactory, his beard stood up with anger. He really wished he could rush forward and compete with that little girl who could drink. + +Zhong Boqiang also felt sad. He kept shaking his head as he looked at the young men who had fallen down from drinking. One of them was his eldest grandson. He was really embarrassed. Alas, he was still poor. He didn't drink much.

He didn't know it was Tian Sisi's idea. Tian Xinhua kept it secret and didn't dare to tell him. It's just that he had a pig teammate. + +"Brother Shouhua, you're here. You have to thank me. If I hadn't come up with the idea, how would you have had the chance to drink with that pretty sister!" + +Tian Xinhua had a bitter look on his face when he heard this. This grandma was really full of shit. Tian Shouhua glared at Tian Sisi and said, how could grandpa come up with such a bad idea? It turned out that it was this dead girl who came up with it. He would settle the score with her later. + +"Second Grandpa, Brother Shouhua, he glared at me." Tian Sisi was not afraid of being stared at for no apparent reason, and immediately found someone to complain. + +"Don't be afraid, grandma. Brother Shouhua doesn't dare to do anything to you when Grandpa is here." Tian Bajin hurriedly comforted the little girl. Only then did he remember that his grandson didn't seem to like drinking very much, but for the sake of Yuequan Village's sake, he had to do it even if he didn't like drinking. + +"Shouhua, go and compete with that beautiful girl. Don't embarrass Yuequan Village. You must win over that girl." Tian Bajin ordered his grandson. + +Tian Shouhua had no choice but to obey the order. At this time, the beautiful concubine was looking proudly at the young men who were knocked down by her, and was talking with the other five concubines. Although the other young people were not drunk. But they didn't dare to drink with them anymore. This girl drank two or three kilograms of soju, just like drinking water, and nothing happened. How could they have that ability? + +"Shouhua is coming. Shouka is coming!" someone shouted. Everyone else also looked happy. + +"I'll drink with you." Tian Shouhua knew this girl. She is a little cousin of the bride, about the same age as him, and the bride seems to call her Xiaomi. + +The girl named Xiaomi saw Tian Shouhua coming. He was a little surprised, but he soon laughed again and replied generously: "Okay, how do you drink it?" + +"You had a drink before, and I had a drink before. Our starting points are similar, but I won't take advantage of you. I will drink three bowls first, and we will compete after three bowls." + +Tian Shouhua picked up the soup bowl, and the people next to him hurriedly poured it for him. Tian Shouhua drank it all in one gulp, and the people next to him cheered one after another. The commotion here was so loud that even the bride's relatives were attracted. After the bride and groom finished toasting, they also came to watch the fun. + +Tian Shouhua drank three bowls of wine in a row, which amounted to at least a pound of shochu, and his face had a touch of luster. Tian Sisi looked on and became anxious, "Brother Xinhua, why is Brother Shouhua so stupid? No one asked him to drink these three bowls of wine, why did he ask for it himself!" + +"You don't understand, this is a matter of man's dignity." Tian Xinhua said something quite profound, and Tian Sisi rolled her eyes at him. + +She wants to save face and suffer the consequences. If she loses later, let’s see how much face you have as a man. No, she has to think of a way. She can’t let Tian Shouhua lose, otherwise it will hurt her self-esteem! + +Yes, she remembered that the book in the space said that as long as you eat one hangover fruit, you can avoid being drunk after a thousand drinks. There is only one hangover fruit tree in the space, which looks very similar to the koji fruit tree. At first, she almost thought it was a koji fruit and picked it to make wine. She realized something was wrong when she found the color was wrong when picking it, so she ran to find a book to check. + +The color of the hangover fruit was much lighter and the size was larger. Tian Sisi used the excuse of needing to urinate and found a deserted place to pick a hangover fruit. After a while, she would find an opportunity to let Tian Shouhua eat the hangover fruit. + +When Tian Sisi went back, Tian Shouhua and the girl were drinking hard, and the people around them were cheering them on. The bride was a little worried about her cousin, fearing that she would be harmed if she got drunk, but her aunt, Xiaomi's mother, was not worried at all. + +"It's okay. Xiaomi has been drinking wine since she was a child. It's very difficult to get her drunk. I'm worried that the younger one will suffer tonight." + +Xiaomi's mother-in-law came here to see her off, and she was standing aside watching the fun with great interest.

He is not a relative of mine, but the grandson of our village secretary. He is 16 years old and is still in high school!" Tian Pinggui answered accurately. + +"Then that pretty little girl just now is his cousin?" the bride suddenly interrupted. + +"Yes, Sisi is Shouhua's cousin." + +"Who is Sisi? What kind of beautiful little girl?" Xiaomi's mother asked. + +"Nuo, it's that pretty little girl named Tian Sisi.

Before leaving, he glanced at them resentfully, as if he was making a last-ditch effort. Tian Xinhua was too lazy to talk and stretched out his hand in a punching gesture. Shou Jizu immediately shrank, put on his straw hat and went out, and disappeared after a while. + +"Jizu, why are you walking so fast? Wait for me!" Tian Manlan quickly put on her straw hat and chased after her. Before stepping out of the threshold, she told Tian Sisi and the others: + +"Xinhua, grandma, don't go back now. Wait until the sun is about to go down. The sun is very hot right now, so don't get heat stroke." + +Tian Sisi and the other three agreed with a smile. They had no intention of going home at noon. Tian Xinhua and Jianguo didn't care when. They mainly thought about Tian Sisi, who hated the sun the most. + +Jianguo was not idle all afternoon. He ran to the mountains and chopped several bundles of firewood to carry back to the woodshed at home. If he did more now, his younger brother would be able to do less. Of course Tian Xinhua would not watch from the sidelines. After helping Jianguo chop the firewood, he picked up a bucket and went to the well at the entrance of the village to carry water. He picked up several loads of water and filled the large water tank at Tian Manlan's house. + +The afternoon passed quickly. Tian Sisi left a pack of biscuits and sugar for Wei Guo as usual before leaving. Wei Guo let Wei Guo eat the biscuits himself, and distributed the sugar to the children in the village, so that Wei Guo could have a good relationship with the children in the village. + +Tian Sisi originally wanted to leave some more money, but Wei Guo refused, saying that the ten dollars Sister Sisi left last time had not been spent yet. + +"Weiguo, money must be spent. Didn't I tell you to go to the village to get money to buy eggs to eat?" Tian Sisi spoke earnestly for a long time before getting Weiguo to agree to eat an egg every day from now on. + +In fact, Wei Guo really feels that there is no need to eat eggs. Compared with the past, his life now is like a day and a day. Now he can eat enough rice every day and eat meat every now and then. Even the village chief's house has good food. Compared with the past when he could not get enough even if he drank porridge every day, Wei Guo felt extremely satisfied. + +"Weiguo, you should supervise my father well at home, and be careful of him stealing my mother's money and sneaking out. You should also keep your own money. As soon as the school is over, I will come back and take care of my father with you, and we will take care of my father together in the future. We three brothers will not be separated." + +Jianguo Yin Yin warned his younger brother. However, his words caused Tian Sisi to exclaim. Tian Xinhua seemed to have expected it. The face is still light. + +"Jianguo, aren't you ready to go to school?" Tian Sisi was anxious, if Jianguo refused to study because he wanted to control Shou Jizu. Then his life will change in the future. Isn’t it worth the loss? So what's the point of her reforming Shou Jizu? + +"Of course not. You can also go to school in Huangkeng Village, but you can no longer go to school with Sister Sisi." + +Jianguo is a little lonely. He really wants to go to school with his cousin, but he is from Huangkeng Village after all, and this is his home. Although his grandparents, uncle, and aunt are very good to him, he still has to go back to his home after all. Besides, he doesn't trust Weiguo staying at home alone. + +"Oh, there is a school in Huangkeng Village. I didn't think of it just now, haha." Tian Sisi smiled awkwardly, and in a moment of anxiety, she forgot about it. As for going to school, hey, she won't have to go to school in the future. + +"I don't have to go to school next semester. I made an agreement with my grandpa. As long as I get a score of 90 or above in the final exam this semester, I don't have to go to school. I just need to take the exam at the end of the semester. Haha, I'm not like someone who can only get 80 points in the exam, hum!" + +Tian Sisi remembered what Tian Xinhua said about her before, and did not forget to make a few sarcastic remarks. Tian Xinhua looked at Tian Sisi with a smile. The little girl was quite vindictive. + +Jianguo didn't expect that reading could be done this way, and that he didn't have to go to school every day. It was a good idea. His eyes lit up, "In this case, I don't have to transfer to another school. I just need to take the exam with you and Sister Sisi at the end of the semester. That way I can work and study at the same time, and I can also make money!" + +Some time ago, Jianguo and Weiguo dried fungus, dried mushrooms, dried bamboo shoots and other local specialties together. He Xuewen helped sell them and earned fifteen or six yuan of pocket money. Jianguo gave the money to Mrs. Zhao for living expenses, but Mrs. Zhao refused. She couldn't ask for her grandson's hard-earned money, so she helped save it! + +Although the money was not much, he earned it with his own hands, so when Jianguo heard that he didn't have to go to school, his brain started to get active. The school classes were quite simple. He only had to study by himself at home. If he didn't understand anything, he could ask Brother Shouhua. In the remaining time, he could go to the mountains to pick mushrooms, fungus, and herbal medicines, which Uncle He collected. + +Thinking that in the future he could earn his own tuition and subsidize his family, the smile on Jianguo's face deepened. Seeing this, Tian Sisi hurriedly said, "That won't work. Jianguo, you have to go to school. You are too young now. You don't have to worry about making money. Your brother Xinhua and I will make it." + +Tian Sisi was anxious. She didn't have to go to school because she had the foundation in her previous life. Besides, she had never thought about becoming a top student in this life. Tian Xinhua also knew that this person would not make his fortune by studying in the future. + +But Jianguo is different. In her previous life, Jianguo was a fighter among top academics. If she turned into a scumbag because of her bad ideas, wouldn't she have committed a crime? + +"Sister Sisi, I am not young anymore. You are only one year older than me. Actually, you are not even one year old. I am in the first half of the year, and you are in the second half of the year, Sister Sisi. In fact, you are only half a year older than me. Besides, I am taller than you!" + +Jianguo disagreed. He really thought this method was good. It couldn't be better to take both into consideration. Tian Sisi was so anxious that she tried to persuade her several times, but Jianguo just made up her mind and refused to let go. Next to her, Tian Xinhua was puzzled that she was so anxious and asked her several times with her eyes. Tian Sisi couldn't persuade her any more. She thought about it and said: + +"Then you don't have to go to school, but you must get a score of 98 or above in the exam. If you fail even once, you have to go to school." + +Of course, a super academic must use high standards. Tian Sisi originally wanted to settle for 100 points, but after thinking about it, it seemed a bit overwhelming, so he decided to settle for 98 points. After hearing this, Jianguo agreed nonchalantly, with a relaxed look on his face, as if he didn't care about the high standard of 98 points proposed by Tian Sisi. + +Tian Sisi looked at Jianguo with admiration. Are all high school students like this since they were young? But did all the excellent genes from the Shou family descend to the three Jianguo brothers? Otherwise, why did the Shou family only have three elites from Jianguo in the previous life, and the remaining cousins ​​were just ordinary people, and no one was known to be particularly promising.(To be continued.) \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/09/eng_cont/i_0150.txt b/09/eng_cont/i_0150.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..9aaf652cb575fad2db2285ef19b2bbd7e493f790 --- /dev/null +++ b/09/eng_cont/i_0150.txt @@ -0,0 +1,71 @@ +Chapter 150 Yang Family. + +As soon as He Xuewen left the entrance of the Beijing train station, he saw Yang Wenbin standing in the crowd.

Where will the government get the money to spend on urban construction?" Yang Wenbin, who was driving, replied angrily. + +"Well, I don't know when our country will be able to open up its policy. Being closed to the outside world will only make the Chinese people like frogs in the well!" He Xuewen frowned. + +"No, it makes me have to be timid in doing some business. It's so frustrating. I don't know when I will be able to do it again?" + +Yang Wenbin's biggest ideal is to set up a factory and engage in industry, and build a family like the European families that have been passed down for hundreds of years, so that the Yang family can be passed down from generation to generation, and not just a wealthy upstart. + +"It's coming soon. I estimate that it will probably be in the past few years. Our country cannot continue like this. In the past few years, we just need to accumulate capital.

If Yang Wenbin can not dislike himself at such a special time, then he, He Xuewen, is not an ungrateful person. If he, He Xuewen, becomes prosperous one day, he will definitely reciprocate his kindness. + +Yang Wenbin lives with his parents. The house in the military compound is also his parents' house.

Unexpectedly, Yang Sanlang, who was so powerful back then, has become an old man. + +Because Mr. Yang's surname was Yang, he was the third eldest son in the family.

It's also a prince's residence after all!" + +"That is, although it cannot be compared with the more than 90 acres of land in Prince Gong's Mansion, it is still about 20 acres." + +After hearing this, He Xuewen. He was even more curious about this mysterious Mr. Yun. To be able to maintain such a large house in such a turbulent era showed that this Mr. Yun was not a simple person. Thinking of this, He Xuewen became more confident in defeating Liu Jinyi. + +Yang Wenbin parked the car, came to the vermilion door, and knocked on the door.

What do you want me and your Uncle He to eat?" + +"Aren't there two more bowls of food? There's exactly one bowl for each of the three of us. I'll just have this bowl of green beans. I'll save the good food for you two." + +"Hey! This damn girl is so rude!" + +Niu Sanxian looked at the two bowls of food left on the table and patted his thigh."Brother He, please wait for me for a while, and I'll go stir-fry some more." + +He Xuewen hurriedly stopped him, "Brother Niu, stop being busy. Two bowls of food are enough. Your food is quite generous. I'm afraid we won't be able to finish it!" + +Niu Sanxian was not too polite, and the two just drank and chatted. He Xuewen was in a hurry to go home, so he finished lunch in a hurry, leaving behind a lot of Beijing specialties. Anyway, he bought a lot of things this time, which was enough to share. + +After He Xuewen returned home and tidied up, he went to the old man and told him the good news. Of course, he did not think about recognizing his grandmother. He had promised the old man not to recognize his grandmother back in the past few years, and he would definitely do it. Besides, the current situation is still a bit chaotic, so it is better to be careful. + +However, this good news still needs to be told to the old man, so that he can relax and not worry all day long. In addition, the old man asked him to inquire about his comrades, so he also has to talk to the old man. + +When the old man saw the rare joyful look on He Xuewen's face, his mood improved, "What? Is there good news in this trip to the capital?" + +"Old man, you are really clever. Yes, from now on, I can focus on protecting my grandma when she grows up. My enemy will never come back to try to get my family's secret recipe." He Xuewen smiled heartily. + +"Oh? Why did you get it done so quickly? Didn't you say that your enemy is very powerful up there?" The old man also became interested. + +He Xuewen was in a very good mood, and immediately told the story about his enemy and Mr. Yun's help. Of course, he also talked about the Yang family's matchmaking. Originally, he planned to conceal his relationship with the Yang family, mainly because of his usual vigilance and unwillingness to reveal all his trump cards. + +But this time when I went to Yang's house for a short stay and inquired about the comrade's news with Mr. Yang, Mr. Yang asked him seriously who asked him to inquire about it. When he said the old man's name, Mr. Yang burst out laughing. + +Mr. Yang enthusiastically inquired about the old man's news, and also asked how Tang Tieshan was doing. Although He Xuewen was full of doubts, he still answered Mr. Yang's question, saying that both old men were in good health and lived a leisurely life. + +Mr. Yang didn't say much at that time. He just asked him to go back and ask Tian Liujin if he knew Yang Haoyuan. He also asked him to tell him that Zhang Liuming was fine for the time being. After a while, Zhang Liuming would go to the labor camp where he was and Tian Liujin would entertain him. + +After hearing He Xuewen's words, the old man stood up excitedly, with trembling lips and sighed, "It's Commander Yang. I wonder why Old Tang has no one to take care of him for so long. It turns out that Commander Yang is protecting him from behind! I wrongly blamed you, Commander Yang, I, Tian Liujin, can't help you!" + +"Xuewen, how is Commander Yang's health? Is there anything blind to harass him?" the old man asked as if he was remembering something. + +"Fortunately, he seems to be in good spirits. Uncle Yang has a great reputation. No one with no eyes would dare to offend him. Don't worry, old man." He Xuewen didn't expect that the old man would be so excited and answered his question subconsciously. + +"That's good. Alas, Commander Yang is probably having a hard time in this world, right?" + +The hero in his mind is still the unyielding Green Pine, and his old comrades are still alive and will soon be reunited with him. The old man's mood is as light as flying catkins. + +"Xuewen, let's have a couple of drinks tonight. Damn it, I haven't been this happy in years." + +"Okay, let me cook some dishes to go with the wine. We won't go home until we get drunk." He Xuewen was also very happy, and he was in a better mood than the old man. + +Hearing Grandma's name, the smile on the old man's face stopped, "Xuewen, your enemy has been restrained, where is Grandma...?" + +"Don't worry, old man. I promised you that I would definitely do it. The world is still too chaotic now. Let's wait until peace comes." + +He Xuewen's words were like reassurance, which made the old man feel relieved.

The names are either spices or medicinal materials, all of which are used in the kitchen. It is truly a home of chefs. + +It’s no wonder that the conditions of the Niu family are good, and the banquet they host is so high-end. The family is all paid, and they all have lucrative jobs, so it’s no wonder that the conditions are not good! + +In the evening, there was a table for men, and a table for women and children. Since they were guests, Tian Sisi and Tian Xinhua sat at the men's table. + +Tian Sisi drank a bowl of hawthorn digestion soup before, and her appetite improved a lot. She kept picking up vegetables to eat, and the one she picked up the most was the lion's head. He Xuewen said with a smile: + +"My grandma has eaten the most today. She eats like a kitten at home, counting the grains of rice she eats. I'm worried that she won't be able to keep up with her nutrition if she eats too little." + +"Dad, I also eat at home, but today the food at Uncle Niu's house is particularly delicious, so I eat more." + +Tian Sisi hurriedly defended herself. How could she not keep up with her nutrition? She had to make a cup of milk powder every night before going to bed! + +"If it tastes good, eat more. A girl must be chubby to look good. My longan looks so good!" + +Niu Sanxian said with a smile. Tian Sisi and Fat Guiyuan rolled their eyes in unison. Of course, Tian Sisi rolled their eyes inwardly. + +He Xuewen secretly looked at Fat Longan, imagining that his daughter would look like this chubby in the future. Busy and shivered. It’s better to let Grandma have a smaller appetite! + +"Brother He, if you keep A'nan in my house for two months and raise your daughter to be fair and fat, no one in our family will be thin." + +Niu Sanxian knew that his daughter-in-law was particularly fond of Tian Sisi, so he thought about letting the little girl live at home for two months. My wife was so happy. + +"I can't promise this to Brother Niu. My grandma still has to go to school. But if I have the opportunity in the future, I will come to bother Brother Niu more often. Who makes your food so delicious!" + +He Xuewen said half-jokingly, and expressed his intention to come to have a meal in the future. It all depends on how the Niu family reacts. + +"That's good, Brother He, you can come anytime. We'll eat in the town at noon, and we'll eat at home in the evening!" Niu Sanxian was very happy, without any reluctance on his face. + +"Okay!" He Xuewen was also very happy. Making friends requires sincerity. Niu Sanxian treats him sincerely, so of course he will not treat his friends badly. + +Niu Sanxian's four sons are also very talkative, and they are all good people. He Xuewen is an extraordinary person, well-informed and generous. You can tell at a glance that he is not an ordinary person. Like the birthday gift given by others, one portion is worth several portions to others. + +Adhering to the truth that one more friend means one more way out, Niu Bajiao and He Xuewen also had a good chat with each other, and even left their contact information in the city so that He Xuewen could go to their place to play when he went to the city. + +He Xuewen agreed sincerely. No matter what kind of friends they are, they are useful. They might come in handy at some point. It's just like playing cards. Even if the cards are small and connected into a dragon, it's a good deck of cards. + +"Speaking of which, there is a person in our village who works as the security section chief at the Angelica Factory. His name is Wang Shouwang. He looks a bit scary. His wife is from our village." He Xuewen took the opportunity to inquire about Wang Shouwang. + +"Uncle He, you're talking about Section Chief Wang. You don't know that Section Chief Wang scared us when he first came to work, but as time went by we got used to it. This guy looks scary, but he's quite easy to get along with. And he's very nice to his wife, just like a pug." + +Niudanggui spoke lively and lively, making everyone present laugh. Tian Si thought of Wang Shouwang, a rough guy who turned into a pug, and couldn't help but burst into laughter. + +Seeing that he had made the pretty girl laugh, Niu Danggui was very proud, and continued: "This section chief Wang's wife is really pretty. At first we all said that his wife was a flower stuck in cow dung, but we didn't expect that his wife is from Uncle He's village. It seems that your village raises people, and all the girls it produces are pretty." + +The young man is twenty-one years old this year and is not married yet. It is the time when love is budding. He winked at He Xuewen and asked, "Uncle He, are there any beautiful girls in your village? If so, introduce one to me!" + +He Xuewen was quite amused by Niudanggui. He smiled and shook his head and said, "I really don't know that. I'm not a local. I've only lived there for more than two months. How about I go back and find out for you?" + +"Okay, Uncle He, please be careful for me. She must be a pretty girl, and of course she has a good personality, but you can't give me a tigress!" + +"You are the only one who knows how to find a wife for yourself. How can you find a wife for yourself? Your aunt has introduced you to so many girls, but you can't like any of them. I think you are just messing around." + +Niu Sanxian laughed and scolded and slapped his son on the head. Niu Angelica didn't take it seriously. He laughed and started drinking and eating vegetables again. + +Deng Yuxiu, who was sitting at the table next to her, felt something move in her heart. She sat down with her rice bowl and asked with a smile, "Who is Brother He?" + +"I'm from Shanghai. I settled in Wangjia Town to take care of my health." + +"So Brother He is from Shanghai. No wonder I heard you speak softer than us. I think Brother He looks pretty good and is quite healthy!" + +"My body was also recuperated in Wangjiazhen, and that's why I stayed." He Xuewen replied with a smile. + +"So that's it. Did Brother He's wife come with you?" He Yuxiu finally asked the most important thing. + +Tian Sisi glanced at the enthusiastic Deng Yuxiu in surprise. Why did this Mother Niu ask in such detail? It's like checking your household registration. + +The smile on He Xuewen's face stagnated for a moment, then quickly returned to normal, and he said vaguely: "My wife had an accident and disappeared." + +Deng Yuxiu smiled awkwardly, laughed a few times, and then stopped questioning.

Niu Guipi had already driven the tractor from the village and was waiting at the door. + +Naturally, the pulling machine is much faster than a bicycle, and we arrived in just over an hour. Because it was getting late, He Xuewen didn't leave the beef cinnamon at home for a long time, so he put two jars of soju in the car and sent him home. + +It was past eight o'clock when Niu Guipi arrived home. The Niu family were still sitting in the living room, as if waiting for him to come back. When Niu Guipi put down the two jars of wine in his hands, Deng Yuxiu asked anxiously: "Guipi, have you sat at He Xuewen's house?" + +"Sit down, Uncle He was very polite and gave me two jars of wine, saying they were for grandpa and dad to drink." + +Niu Guipi's words made Niu Sanxian and Niu Wuwei nod. Niu Guipi continued: "Uncle He's house is really beautiful. It looks like a painting from the outside. The furnishings inside are all high-end goods.

He is friendly and generous. It's good." Niu Sanxian answered honestly. + +"I also think it's pretty good. The most important thing is that he has such a good appearance. He makes you feel comfortable just looking at him. How come there are such beautiful people in the world! I thought they were all sung in dramas!" + +The more Niu Sanxian heard, the more something was wrong. He felt sour in his heart, "Are you having sex? You're an old woman and you still act like a big girl. How shameless! Besides, what's the use of good looks? Can you eat it as a meal or as a vegetable?" + +Deng Yuxiu rolled her eyes at the man. He said angrily: "What kind of jealousy are you feeling? It's your daughter who's having sex. Haven't you noticed that your daughter has been acting strangely for a while? She doesn't think about food and tea. She became very lively when she saw He Xuewen today. Do you think Jia Guiyuan and He Xuewen can get together as a couple?" + +"No. Absolutely not. We're a generation behind! He Xuewen is my brother. Guiyuan wants to call him uncle." Niu Sanxian refused resolutely. + +"What brother? How could your father give birth to a son as handsome as He Xuewen? It's just a random shout. I'll change it next time." + +Deng Yuxiu didn't care. These were not relatives of the same clan. There is nothing to be afraid of. Seeing his wife's serious face, Niu Sanxian was afraid that she was really interested, so he hurriedly said: + +"It really doesn't work. He Xuewen is already 33, but Guiyuan is still only 18. It won't be long before he can be our father." + +Deng Yuxiu was also shocked. She didn't expect He Xuewen to be 33. She really couldn't tell. She wanted to give up, but she thought of her daughter's decadent appearance. Besides, she really wanted such a handsome son-in-law. It would be so beautiful to take him out. She gritted her teeth and said: + +"It's okay. He Xuewen looks like he's only in his twenties anyway. When you two go out, others will definitely treat you as their father and He Xuewen as their son." + +"Oh, why can't you, a woman, make sense? Anyway, I don't agree. Besides, I have a wife and children, so don't have such wishful thinking." + +"Didn't you hear He Xuewen say that his wife and children are missing? The little girl who came today is his goddaughter. I have already found out about it." Deng Yuxiu was very proud. If He Xuewen had children, she would not be willing to marry her daughter off! + +Niu Sanxian was speechless. After holding it in for a long time, he suddenly had an idea and said, "Let's not argue here. We don't know what Brother He is thinking. Don't be too wishful thinking. Maybe Brother He doesn't like our daughter!" + +"Why should he look down on Gui Yuan? Gui Yuan is a young girl who is so many years younger than him. How could he look down on her?" Deng Yuxiu was unconvinced. + +"Why should I look down on him? Just because he is the heir to the He family wine, what kind of family background did he have back then? We live in a foreign house, drive a foreign car, and wear Western clothes. What kind of family are we? We are just ordinary people, and we, Gui Yuan, are so heartless. If we really want to marry into such a family, how can Gui Yuan live a good life?" + +Niu Sanxian said more and more eloquently, "Even if he is in trouble now, he is not short of money. As the saying goes, there are still three nails in a broken ship! Besides, it's not that I dislike our daughter, our image of Guiyuan is too different from others. Ren He Xuewen and we are not the same people, so please calm down!" + +Although Deng Yuxiu was not convinced, she had to admit that what her husband said made sense. Although a mother would definitely not dislike her daughter, the image of Guiyuan did not really match He Xuewen. Thinking of this, she became angry again. + +"It's all your fault. If you hadn't been cooking meat for Guiyuan all day long, would our Guiyuan have grown like this? Guiyuan's appearance has followed me. If it weren't for that meat, she would definitely be a handsome girl." + +"Ouch, why are you blaming me again? Then when I was roasting meat, why didn't you stop me from ordering it? You ate more than longans." + +Niu Sanxian died unjustly. His children had no meat to eat and his wife despised the man for being incompetent. His children had to be scolded even though they had meat to eat. It was really unreasonable. + +"Stop daydreaming all day long. It's better to find an honest and capable young man nearby for Guiyuan. We are ordinary people, so we have to live the lives of ordinary people. Don't always think about unrealistic things." + +Niu Sanxian earnestly warned his wife, "Oh, his wife is good at everything, but sometimes she likes to think wildly and is unrealistic, so he has to keep an eye on her from time to time, otherwise she won't know where she is." + +After Tian Xinhua returned home, he thought about it and couldn't sit still.

Tian Xinhua was still young after all, so the first thing that came to his mind was to discuss it with the old man. + +"What's the matter?" The old man patted his great-nephew on the shoulder and motioned for him to speak slowly. + +"I think the relationship between Uncle He and Ah Nan is not simple. Uncle He's missing biological daughter is probably Ah Nan." + +Tian Xinhua gritted his teeth and expressed his suspicions. The old man was startled. He didn't expect that Xinhua's senses were so keen that he would discover this secret. + +Seeing that the old man was not as shocked as expected, Tian Xinhua said in astonishment: "Grandpa, did you know this a long time ago?" + +The old man nodded and said seriously: "Now that you know it, keep it in your heart and don't tell it to the second person. Originally, your Uncle He and I planned to wait for the world to be peaceful before telling this secret. Unexpectedly, you little guy discovered it." + +The old man was quite relieved and warned: "Don't show it in front of your Uncle He. Everything is the same as before. Your Uncle He's identity is a bit sensitive. If you don't handle it well, I'm afraid it will bring danger to my grandmother." + +Then the old man briefly told Tian Xinhua about He Xuewen's background. Finally, he told Tian Xinhua not to talk about it to anyone else. Tian Xinhua was shocked and agreed vaguely. + +When Tian Xinhua returned home, she tossed and turned in bed. She didn't expect that A'nan was really a descendant of a wine-making family. So where did her knowledge of wine-making come from? Is it something you are born with?

Tian Qinghua muttered. + +"Brother Qinghua, what are you planning to do in the future?" Tian Sisi saw that Tian Qinghua didn't seem to be interested in studying at all, so she planned to give him a nod. + +"Of course I want to be a soldier.

I will definitely be the most powerful general in the future, and the soldiers I lead will be the most powerful." Tian Qinghua yelled, holding his neck.

There was an emperor who didn't even know how to read!" + +Tian Xinhua is getting angry again. Although he doesn't like studying, he can control it freely. It is very simple for him to get high scores, and he has already made it clear what he needs to do in the future, unlike Tian Qinghua, a bastard who just knows how to mess around. + +Tian Sisi hurriedly covered Tian Xinhua's mouth to prevent him from causing conflicts. The little girl's soft hand covered his lips, causing Tian Xinhua's anger to dissipate instantly. + +"Brother Qinghua, you only see the surface of things. Although our second uncle only graduated from junior high school, didn't he go to the military academy to study? And brother Guanghua and Brother Chaohua also went to the military academy? It means that if you want to get ahead in the army, you have to go to the military academy. If you want to be a general, you will definitely have to go to the military academy in the future." + +Tian Sisi tried to put things in plain terms. The army was not that simple, it was more complicated than the society. Tian Qinghua had a background, but he lacked academic qualifications. She knew from her previous life that although Tian Qinghua had enough qualifications, he was stuck at the captain level for many years before he was promoted to major just because of his academic qualifications. + +Tian Sisi smiled when she saw Tian Xinhua's look, "This is what my father said. He told me before that if Brother Qinghua wants to go to the army, it is best to go to a military academy, so that he can become an officer as soon as he comes out. If he is recruited into the army, he has to start as a soldier. There is a lot of difference!" + +"Brother Qinghua, do you want to be an officer as soon as you join the army, or do you want to be a soldier under the command of an officer?"

Tian Qinghua shouted with eyes wide open. + +"Why don't you dare to assign you? Who can take a fancy to you, a little soldier? Didn't you hear that the second brother and the third brother came back and said that when they first joined the army, they had to wash clothes for the veterans!" + +Tian Xinhua gave his younger brother an example. The hierarchy in the army is very strict. When the second brother and the third brother came back, they both said that if you want to get ahead in the army, you have to endure a lot of hardships.

He can still make a name for himself in the outside world. + +"Yes, my father said so too, but brother Qinghua, you don't have to worry if you get admitted to the military academy.

Tian Mantong sent Tian Sisi and the others to the guest house where he often went, while he went to deliver the goods and agreed to have dinner together when he came back. + +Today's guest houses are very simple, but the one Tian Mantong took them to live in was pretty good, and Tian Mantong booked the best room, with a separate bathroom and hot water supply. Of course, the price was also more expensive, costing three yuan a night. + +Although Tian Xinhua felt distressed, he remained calm on his face. Don't worry about money when you go out. The most important thing is that he had more than a hundred yuan with him, and he was confident. Tian Xinhua wanted to pay his and A-nan's share of the money. How could He Xuewen let a child pay, so he refused immediately. + +"Brother Xinhua, don't worry about anything. Let my dad take care of the whole trip. We just have to eat, drink and have fun. My dad is rich! Let's help him spend some." + +Tian Sisi said with a smile. Tian Xinhua stopped insisting when he saw this and collected the money. The uncle also said that he should just play along the way and don't worry about anything else. + +After Tian Mantong came back, he took them out to eat. Tian Mantong often went to Shanghai and was very familiar with Shanghai. This time he returned Li Yuedi's order to bring some local specialties to his third sister Tian Manxing. He planned to go there early tomorrow morning. + +Although Shanghai at this time was not as prosperous and lively as later generations, it looked very beautiful to Tian Sisi. The place where they lived was Yangshupu Road, which used to be the American Concession. Therefore, there were many European-style buildings with a retro style, which later generations would never be able to appreciate. + +The place where they ate was the Siping Hotel (fictional), which is considered a relatively high-end restaurant in this area.

They are sour, sweet and delicious. + +Tian Sisi drank a bottle of soda and felt that it was not enough. She ran to the counter to get another bottle of soda. She saw a young man and woman next to her ordering two bowls of ice cream. Unexpectedly, there was ice cream on sale now. She quickly ordered three bowls. Each bowl cost 1 cent and 50 cents. They were placed in small bowls with a white background and blue rims. They looked very nice. + +Tian Sisi asked the waiter to bring three bowls of ice cream to her, and returned to her seat happily. She really wanted cold drinks. She would definitely have a good time when she came to Shanghai this time, but there were too few types of cold drinks now, and there were only a few kinds of sorbet. Oh, forget it, it would be nice to have some. + +"I forgot, I was supposed to order ice cream just now. Grandma, Xinhua, this is your first time eating it, right?" + +When He Xuewen saw the ice cream brought by the waiter, he suddenly thought that he had forgotten all the girls' favorite food. Xiulian used to like it very much. + +Tian Mantong also smiled and said: "Uncle, why did I forget this thing? If grandma likes it, just have another bowl." + +"Well, I'll finish this bowl first." Tian Sisi scooped it up with a small spoon with satisfaction. It tasted good. Although the variety was a bit single, the milk tasted great, and her mouth was full of fragrance. + +This was not the first time He Chengsi had eaten it. He had traveled with He Xuewen since he was a child, so he had seen a lot. Seeing that Tian Sisi liked cold drinks very much, he said, "Sister Sisi. I'll treat you to cream ice cream later. That one is delicious." + +"Well, I also want to eat chocolate sorbet. I saw someone buying it just now." + +"Okay, let's take turns eating." + +Tian Xinhua feels uncomfortable. Humph, isn't it because he goes out a lot? What's so great about knowing a few ice creams? At this moment, Tian Xinhua realized for the first time that going out more was really useful. At least he wouldn't let that silly boy He Chengsi know more things than he did. + +After dinner, He Xuewen rushed to pay the money and food stamps. Tian Sisi saw the neatly arranged ice cream. The ice cream addiction came back, "Dad, uncle, I also want to eat ice cream." + +"Okay. Then three more sticks of cream ice cream." Tian Mantong was very grand. I bought three more ice creams. A dime a piece, very cheap. + +He Xuewen and Tian Mantong both looked at Tian Sisi licking the ice cream with smiles. They didn't expect Grandma to love cold drinks so much. I will buy more tomorrow. These two grown men did not expect that Tian Sisi is still a little kid now, and he is still a child who is not in particularly good health. + +So, when she was about to go to bed at night, Tian Sisi had a stomachache. She ran to the toilet several times in a row, her face was pale and her mouth was moaning. + +"Go to the hospital, go to the hospital quickly." He Xuewen held Tian Sisi and felt heartbroken. Although he knew medicine, he only knew a little about bruises and gynecology. He learned gynecology for his wife, but he really had no experience with children. Now when he saw Tian Sisi's appearance, his heart was in confusion. + +"Yes, yes, yes, go to the hospital. You wait while I drive." Tian Mantong was about to go outside and drive the car over. + +"Uncle, you are drunk and cannot drive." Tian Xinhua reminded from the side. He was also anxious. How could Grandma suddenly become ill? It was fine when I ate just now. + +"I remember there should be a hospital nearby. Let's run there." He Xuewen hugged Tian Sisi and ran out. + +The others followed. He Xuewen had a good memory. There was indeed a hospital nearby. They went directly to the emergency room. The doctor was a middle-aged woman in her forties. Seeing the two grown men looking like they were mourning for their heirs, they thought something serious had happened and hurriedly motioned to He Xuewen to put the child in his arms on the bed. + +Of course Tian Sisi knew that she must have eaten too many cold drinks, but she couldn't tell her. Who made her a little brat now! + +Moreover, she now had a terrible stomachache and couldn't think of talking. He Xuewen explained Tian Sisi's symptoms to the doctor, "It was fine when I was eating, but I started having stomachache after taking a shower. I had diarrhea several times." + +The female doctor had a rough idea. She pressed Tian Sisi's belly a few times and asked softly, "Does it hurt?" Tian Sisi nodded. + +"What did this child eat at night?" the female doctor asked He Xuewen. + +"I ate a bottle of ice soda, a bowl of ice cream, and a stick of cream ice cream." It was Tian Xinhua who answered. + +"Are you the parents of this child?" The female doctor frowned. + +"Yes, I am the child's father and he is my brother-in-law." He Xuewen explained. Although Tian Mantong felt something was wrong, he didn't care too much. + +"How do you become a parent? How can you give your child so many cold drinks? What's more, your daughter has a weak stomach. It would be strange if she doesn't have a stomachache! I will prescribe some medicine for you. When you get back, you will give the child one tablet, two tablets a day, after meals. I will prescribe it for two days, and let the child drink more warm water during these two days." + +He Xuewen and Tian Mantong kept nodding and kept the doctor's words in mind. The female doctor wrote the prescription quickly and couldn't help but said: "Be careful in the future and don't let the children eat too much cold food. Children are not sensible. Are you adults not sensible too?" + +Today's doctors are still very ethical. This female doctor trained He Xuewen like a grandson. He Xuewen regretted it deeply. He only knew that women should not eat cold drinks when they come to Kwai Shui. Who knew that children should not eat too many cold drinks? He was also happy that Grandma’s appetite had improved a lot and she ate so much food! + +Forgive Comrade He Xuewen's ignorance. He grew up under the care of servants and has no experience in taking care of people. Even He Chengsi didn't take care of him. He went to a restaurant when he was hungry, drank water when he was thirsty, and dressed when he was cold. It took less effort than raising a puppy. He Chengsi was too easy to raise, and he was quite strong just by raising him like this. + +"But my son and nephew also ate so many cold drinks, how come nothing happens to them?" + +He Xuewen still couldn't understand why the three children ate the same food, but only Grandma got sick. Could it be that the doctor made a mistake? + +The female doctor smiled when she saw He Chengsi's figure like a little tiger, "These two boys are in good physical condition. Even if they eat a few more ice creams, they won't have stomachaches. But your daughter is different. Her intestines and stomach are too weak. Doesn't she usually like to eat?" + +"Yes, yes, you eat like a kitten. You count the grains of rice and eat more. Even if you like to eat, you will eat more." + +"Then you usually make more hawthorn water for her to drink, and let the child exercise more, and don't raise it too spoiledly." + +The female doctor could tell by looking at Tian Sisi's dress how much this family pampered their daughter, but if she had a daughter who looked like a doll, she would be so rare. + +She wrote the prescription and asked He Xuewen to pay for the medicine. After thinking about it, she still felt uneasy. This father was really too ignorant. She also told him, "You have to be careful in the future. Don't let your child eat too many cold drinks, or other irritating foods." + +"I know, thank you, doctor!" He Xuewen thanked him gratefully. He remembered the doctor's words firmly and implemented them very strictly in the years to come, which made Tian Sisi worried to death.(To be continued.

In the end, Hu Dingbei, a gentle and honest man, won the heart and became the son-in-law of the Tian family.

I won’t marry anyone other than that little nanny. + +Hu Dingbei's parents were so angry that their son fell down. They wanted to disagree, but when they saw their son who was as thin as firewood due to hunger, they still relented.

The place is easy to find, and Tian Mantong has been here several times, each time carrying things for Li Yuedi. + +No. 56 Changyang Road is a long alley. Most of it is small bungalows, and some are old-fashioned lofts. It can be seen that this used to be a wealthy area, and the housing was very high-end. + +They were lucky today. Tian Manxing and his wife were both here. When they went there, Tian Manxing was drying clothes in the front yard. The person who opened the door for Tian Sisi was Tian Manxing's youngest son Hu Weixin. He was the same age as Tian Qinghua and was a very shy little boy. + +Tian Manxing gave birth to three sons, the eldest son Hu Weiwen, 18 years old, and the second son Hu Weichao, 15 years old. The three sons all look like their father Hu Dingbei. They are elegant and scholarly. This is also an important reason why Tian Manxing's mother-in-law was able to change her attitude, because Hu Dingbei looks like his mother. + +The three brothers Hu Weixin would return to Yuequan Village every New Year to pay New Year greetings to their grandparents, so they were very familiar with Tian Xinhua and Tian Sisi. When Hu Weixin opened the door and saw Tian Xinhua and the others, he shouted happily, "Mom, my uncle is here." + +Of course Hu Weixin is happy.

Probably because she worked under foreigners before, Zhou Yali pays great attention to her image, unlike most Chinese old ladies at this time who don't pay much attention to dressing up. + +Moreover, Zhou Yali, an old lady, is a bit spoiled and never does housework. Before Tian Manxing married, it was done by Hu Dingbei's father, Hu Yaohan. Hu Yaohan is a typical Shanghai man. He is good at washing, cooking and taking care of children. He never hesitates in front of his wife and is a true model husband. + +"Grandma, grandma, third uncle." + +Tian Sisi's three children followed Hu Weixin to call for help. All three children were beautiful, well-dressed and very popular. + +As soon as Zhou Yali saw Tian Sisi, she knew that this must be the niece that her daughter-in-law often talked about. She was the beloved daughter of the Beijing uncle.

She doesn't look like someone who came from the countryside at all.

She is also a lot older, and she is really annoyed by the neighbors in the alley. She is always commented on when she goes out to buy groceries. Of course, Tian Manxing, who had always wanted to be strong, couldn't bear it anymore, so she had to escape back to her parents' home. + +Later I heard that the Hu family spent a sum of money to treat his ex-wife's illness, and the two daughters also stayed with the Hu family. However, these two daughters were not good friends. They were at odds with Hu Weiwen's wife all day long, making the family restless every day. + +Thinking of this, Tian Sisi looked at Hu Weiwen sympathetically. Although she also looked down upon Hu Weiwen's behavior of abandoning his wife and children at that time, strictly speaking, this was not a person's fault, and it should be a tragedy of that era. + +Alas, for the sake of relatives, she should help this cousin. + +Zhou Yali was anxious. She pulled Hu Yaohan's sleeve to wipe her tears, "Yaohan, please tell me what to do. Wei Wen is going to those poor and remote places. I heard that there is no water or electricity in such places. There are mosquitoes bigger than bees. There is no meat to eat all year round. There is no water to bathe. The bed is full of fleas." + +"Oh, grandson Ara is so pitiful. How can he bear this kind of suffering?" + +The old lady cried softly, which made Tian Sisi dumbfounded. Why do these tears come so easily? In her impression, the mother-in-law who could torment Tian Manxing to the point of almost miscarriage should be the type of Grandma Rong, but why is this style of painting wrong now? + +"Yali, don't be sad. I'll go find some connections after dinner later and see if I can get an immunity indicator. Ah, don't cry. There's still a little person here!" + +Hu Yaohan comforted his wife softly and wiped the old lady's tears with such tenderness that Zhou Yali also remembered that there were guests at home, so she slowly stopped crying and wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief. + +"Non, please be more careful. I don't want to let my grandson go to the countryside. My eldest sister's eldest grandson went to that hellish place in Xinjiang and hasn't been home for four years. My eldest sister is going blind from crying!" + +"Grandpa, grandma, don't ask for help. I've already registered my name and will be leaving in November." Hu Weiwen said softly. + +"What? You damn villain, where did you get such a big idea? Ouch, I'm dizzy and can't breathe!" + +Zhou Yali leaned on the back of the sofa, panting, and kept moaning in her mouth. He Xuewen and Tian Mantong were both a little embarrassed. They didn't expect to encounter such a thing when they came to visit. + +Hu Weiwen cleverly took out the cooling oil from the chest of drawers and skillfully applied some on Zhou Yali's temples and philtrum, which seemed to be a common practice. + +"I beat this disobedient thing to death. I'm so angry that I'm so angry. Yaohan, hurry up and find some connections to see if Wei Wen's name can be erased." + +Zhou Yali regained her energy after applying cooling oil. Her hand stayed on Hu Weiwen's head for a long time but she still couldn't bear to hit it, and she asked Hu Yaohan to think of a way. + +At this time, Tian Manxing and Hu Dingbei in the kitchen heard the movement in the living room and came over. After they heard Zhou Yali tell the whole story, Tian Manxing became furious on the spot. + +"Aren't your wings hard? Don't you know how hard it is to work in the countryside? You usually don't even wear clothes at home. Can you bear it when you go to farm and harvest rice?" + +"**His elders have said that educated young people should go to the countryside to receive education from poor and lower-middle peasants. Allah is responding to**'s call!" + +Hu Weiwen said confidently that he actually wanted to go to the countryside, go to a strange and distant place and meet a group of strange friends. This was an extremely fresh and exciting experience for him. + +A good man should have ambitions in all directions. Hu Weiwen does not want to stay under the wings of his parents forever. He just wants to get out of Shanghai and strike out on his own. + +At this moment, Hu Weiwen had no idea of ​​the hardships he had to endure in rural life. + +"I'll beat this little beast to death!" + +Tian Manxing was blocked by her son and couldn't say a word. How could she dare to say that what she said was wrong? But in her heart she strongly disagreed with this statement. + +She comes from the countryside. How can these young people in Shanghai, who have never experienced hardship, endure the hardships of the countryside? + +Unable to refute, Tian Manxing took a feather duster and hit Hu Weiwen on the body. Zhou Yali felt distressed and angry, turned her face to the side, and simply stopped looking.(To be continued.

Tian Manxing interrupted coldly. + +Hu Weiwen curled his lips and did not dare to refute. My mother is too realistic and not romantic at all. Hu Weiwen is still a Shanghai youth with a bit of a petty bourgeoisie and cannot understand the importance of firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar in a person's life. + +"Yunnan is full of bandits. There used to be a lot of horse bandits there. A doctor named Smith at Ala Hospital was killed by horse bandits in Yunnan. Oops, I'm dizzy and out of breath!" + +Zhou Yali couldn't stand it anymore, so she leaned on the sofa and had sex. Hu Weiwen hurriedly applied some cooling oil on her. Tian Sisi looked secretly amused. This old Mrs. Zhou was very similar to Mrs. Bennet in "Pride and Prejudice". It's just that Mrs. Bennet's catchphrase is "My nerves are failing again." + +"Auntie, that was before liberation, okay? Now in the new society, where are the horse bandits?" Hu Weiwen was a little helpless. + +"That also shows that the people there are very barbaric. Anyway, I don't want Gennon to go to that ghost place." Zhou Yali simply acted rogue. + +"Aniang, I've already signed up and I can't change it! If I don't go, Ala's family will be labeled as backward elements." + +The Hu family were all frightened. It would be extremely terrifying to be labeled a backward element at this time, as it would affect their children's marriage, career, and studies. + +"Let me interrupt. Don't think too scary about going to the countryside. It's okay for young people to go to the countryside to exercise, but the place can be changed. It's better to go to a place where there are acquaintances to take care of you, so you don't have to worry so much." + +He Xuewen originally didn't want to interfere with other people's housework. It was just Tian Sisi whispering in his ear for a long time. He must come out and say this. His daughter's orders are greater than those of heaven, so He Xuewen could only come to this conclusion. + +"What Xuewen said makes sense, but Ala's family members are all in Shanghai. There are no acquaintances outside at all!" + +Zhou Yali's eyes lit up at first, but then dimmed again. She suddenly said, "Why don't we let Wei Wen go to Xinjiang? At least there is my eldest sister's grandson Ahua there, and the two sisters will still have someone to take care of them." + +"Ah Hua himself is miserable, how can he take care of Wei Wen?" Tian Manxing retorted. + +Zhou Yali thought about it and felt dizzy again. She put the cooling oil under her nose and sniffed it hard. Others were also looking sadly at where they could find acquaintances to entrust. When Tian Sisi saw this, she seized the opportunity to intervene. + +"Third aunt, can you let Brother Weiwen go farm at Third Uncle's place? If someone bullies Brother Weiwen, Third Uncle will kill those bad guys with one shot." + +Tian Sisi said while making a gun gesture, which was so cute. Tian Manxing and Tian Mantong's eyes lit up, yes, the third brother, the Ulanqab League in Inner Mongolia, just let Wei Wen go to the third brother. + +Seeing a smile on his daughter-in-law's face, Hu Yaohan hurriedly asked: "Man Xing, where is Brother Nong?" + +"Dad, my third brother is in the Ulanqab League of Inner Mongolia. He is a leader in the army and can still speak locally." + +"Grandpa, my third uncle is very powerful. He is the division commander there. My grandpa said that my third uncle has to take care of many, many people, more than ten thousand!" + +Tian Sisi had an exaggerated tone and made a big circle with her hands. She also said this on purpose. Tian Manxing couldn't say that her relatives were prestigious. Of course it didn't matter that she was a child. + +"Oh, sir, Man Xing, why didn't Brother Nong, Third Brother, say anything to Ara when he was so majestic? Just like that, let Weiwen go to Brother Nong, Yaohan, Nong, hurry up this afternoon to find connections and get Yaohan to go to Inner Mongolia." + +Zhou Yali immediately beamed with joy and regained her spirits. Tian Sisi looked funny. This old lady Zhou was not too difficult to get along with.

Hu Dingbei and Tian Manxing were going back to continue cooking lunch, but Hu Weiwen was not happy. + +"I don't want to go to Inner Mongolia. I want to go to Xishuangbanna. I have already signed up." + +Tian Manxing was furious and looked for a feather duster everywhere. Tian Mantong hurriedly hid the feather duster behind his back to prevent the third sister from losing her temper, which would be neither serious nor serious. + +"Wei Wen, uncle, I have to talk about you. You can't just think about being happy for yourself, but also think about your grandpa, grandma, and parents. If you went to a place as far away as Xishuangbanna, how worried they would be at home. And your grandma is not in good health. Can you bear to let your grandma worry about you every day?" + +Tian Mantong spoke very emotionally. Zhou Yali was so moved that she was about to burst into tears again. Hu Dingbei also said at the side: "Wei Wen, Nong has made us so sad today. He didn't discuss such a big thing as going to the countryside with his family. He just signed up on his own initiative. That's fine. Now Ala hopes that Nong will go to his third uncle's place to reassure the family. Why don't you go?" + +Hu Weiwen's face felt a little relaxed, and Tian Sisi hurriedly added, "Brother Weiwen, my third uncle's place is really fun. There is a prairie there, where you can ride horses, drink milk every day, and eat beef jerky. Third uncle said he would take me there to ride horses when I am older!" + +"Yes, Brother Weiwen, you go first, and then we can go horse riding together. How fun it is!" + +Tian Xinhua also joined in the fun. Although he didn't understand what going to the countryside meant, he subconsciously felt that Hu Weiwen should go to Inner Mongolia.

Now that the Hu family was so enthusiastic about staying, the most important thing was his little niece's pleading eyes, which made him feel as soft as marshmallows, so he nodded and agreed. + +Tian Sisi immediately smiled like a flower, lowered her head and started eating the food happily. Today's dish was quite hearty, braised pork. Braised hairtail fish.

Normally Ala wouldn't be able to eat it much." + +Zhou Yali enthusiastically took a piece of hairtail for Tian Sisi. Tian Sisi was really flattered. I remember Zhong Juying said in her previous life that Shanghai people in the 1970s and 1980s lived very frugally. One piece of hairtail would cost a family several meals, and half a piece of fermented bean curd would cost a family of about ten people one meal. + +"Thank you, Mom. Mom eats hairtail. I don't like fish because there are too many thorns." + +How could Tian Sisi be willing to eat this luxurious piece of hairtail? At this time, even the Hu family might only be able to eat hairtail two or three times a year. + +She put the hairtail into Zhou Yali's bowl. Zhou Yali wanted to put it back.

Tian Sisi felt bad when she saw it. She was tired of eating hairtail in her previous life because it was too bad. In her previous life, she only liked to eat opium fish and turbot fish. The one had no spines and the meat was tender. + +But now this small piece of hairtail has become a luxury product like a shark's fin. The family is pushing it back and forth. Although it is heartwarming and touching, it is also sad. + +Alas, she had better think of a way to get some food.

Zhou Yali said that after she woke up, she took He Xuewen and Tian Sisi to her friend's house to take a pulse test.

Otherwise, like other families where four generations would squeeze into one room, they wouldn't have the confidence to have overnight guests. + +He Xuewen borrowed the Hu family's bicycle and went to the hotel to pick up his luggage. He had never thought of staying overnight at the Hu family before. Now that the Hu family was so enthusiastic, he couldn't refuse. + +Tian Sisi insisted on following, so He Xuewen took her with him. In fact, their luggage was not much, just some clothes, and other things were placed in the space. The things outside were also used for cover, fearing that Tian Xinhua would become suspicious. As for He Chengsi, he never cared about what was in the luggage. + +The hotel is not far from Hu's house, and it only takes ten minutes to ride a bicycle. When passing by the market on the way back, Tian Sisi whispered: + +"Dad, let's bring some food back. I don't think there are too many dishes at San Gu's house." + +He Xuewen thought about it.

Tian Sisi was embarrassed and refused with a busy smile. + +It's just that this middle-aged woman was too enthusiastic, and the final result of the negotiation was that the middle-aged woman hugged her and sat down. In fact, Tian Sisi would rather stand.

Several families lived together and shared the kitchen and bathroom. This kind of house was very common in Shanghai in the 1970s and 1980s. You could often see several families cooking together, and various aromas wafted out of the kitchen, mixing into another wonderful aroma. + +At this time, every household is not eating well. It’s rare to have a good meal.

The satisfaction and full vanity in this process are something that people today cannot understand. + +Zhou Yali’s friend’s husband is a thin old man. Zhou Yali called him Ouyang Tao. With a goatee.

I'll just treat it." + +"Crancre? Why does my grandma still have crocodile when she is 10 years old? Isn't this disease only suffered by three or four-year-old children?" + +He Xuewen knew a little about malnutrition, but he never thought that his daughter would still suffer from malnutrition at such an old age. + +"Although malnutrition is more common in children around five years old, it is possible to have malnutrition at your daughter's age. Your daughter is usually raised too delicately. Haha, it is better for children to be raised extensively. They must eat everything to have comprehensive nutrition!" + +Ouyang Tao took out a shining silver needle from the medicine bag. The needle was three-sided and sharp, and it was very cold. Tian Sisi was confused at the first sight. Wasn't it meant to be recuperated? Why do you still need to use needles? + +Doctor Ouyang lit the alcohol lamp and burned the needle on the blue flame. The burned needle gave off a cold light. Tian Sisi's hands and feet suddenly became weak, her chest was tight and she felt dizzy. She really wished she could have cooling oil now! + +"Don't be afraid, little grandma. Grandpa's injection won't hurt at all. It's just like a mosquito bite." + +"Does it really not hurt?"

Zhou Yali added on the side. + +Although Tian Sisi didn't believe it too much, she had no choice but to bite the bullet now. She stretched out her hand with a look of desperation, which made everyone laugh. + +Ouyang Tao held Tian Sisi's right hand and held the needle to search for acupuncture points. As soon as the needle touched the skin, Tian Sisi subconsciously wanted to withdraw her hand, but it was too tight and she couldn't, so she had to look at Ouyang Tao pitifully. + +Ouyang Tao's heart was as hard as iron and he was indifferent. He pricked his index finger first. After finding the acupuncture point on the second knuckle of his finger, he quickly pricked it. Ouyang Tao gently squeezed Tian Sisi's finger.

Therefore, Shanghainese were very economical in burning briquettes, and they had to burn each briquette until only yellow mud was left. + +Tian Mantong, Hu Dingbei and Hu Weiwen moved in and out together, and they were so busy that they were sweating profusely. The four young men, Tian Xinhua, He Chengsi, Hu Weichao, and Hu Weixin, soon became good friends. At this time, people in Shanghai did not have common TV sets, so the four of them stared at each other at home. In the end, Hu Weichao had the idea. + +"Let's go watch a movie. My eldest brother said that the Albanian film "Better Than Die" is playing in the cinema these days. It's really good. Mila in it is very beautiful!" + +Hu Weichao is the moment when a young boy's heart flutters. Therefore, the standard for evaluating the quality of a movie is often whether the heroine in the movie is beautiful or not. + +"Okay, let's go watch a movie, let's go!" Hu Weixin also agreed. + +The boys went as they were told. They said hello to the adults and went out happily. Tian Sisi didn't want to go because she didn't want to watch old movies. Her makeup skills were poor and the images were blurry. + +The most important thing is that she knows the movie Better to Die. It tells a story during World War II, and it completely follows the style of this period. The protagonist is a perfect and noble saint, and the bad guy is as bad as possible. It is pure black and white. Tian Sisi doesn't like this setting very much. + +In her opinion, no matter any time, any country. No one can be absolutely good or absolutely bad. People should all be gray, but some are dark gray and some are light gray. Everyone should have their pain points in their hearts, it just depends on whether they are discovered! + +He Xuewen borrowed the Hu family's bicycle and took Tian Sisi out. Tian Sisi took out the camera from the bag. Zhou Yali was shocked and a little sour when she saw the camera hanging around the little girl's neck. + +She was proud of her family's good conditions. But even they don’t have a camera at home. Firstly, I can't bear the money for the camera and the cost of developing the film later. Secondly, the current camera requires a ticket, so it doesn't matter, you can't buy it at all. + +I didn’t expect my daughter-in-law’s uncle to be so particular that he would buy a camera for a little girl. It really scared me to death! + +"A-Niang. Let me take a picture of you and Grandpa. A-Niang, you look so good-looking, you will definitely look good in the photo." + +Tian Sisi's good words came out one after another. Zhou Yali was so excited that the little bit of sadness in her heart had already flown to the Pacific Ocean. + +Zhou Yali combed her hair in front of the mirror, flattened her collar, and posed with Hu Yaohan who was listening to the radio. Tian Sisi took group photos and single photos for them, with Zhou Yali taking the most photos. + +"Auntie, you pose so beautifully, just like a movie star." + +Tian Sisi sincerely praised her. In this era, many people have stiff postures when taking photos, and their original beauty has turned into a seven point beauty. However, Zhou Yali is different. Her posture is elegant, her smile is natural, and she is very photogenic. + +"My little grandma has such a sweet mouth. She was so pretty when she was young, but now that she's old and her skin is wrinkled, she doesn't look good." + +Zhou Yali can't close her mouth. She is a very fashionable person. Even if it is an ordinary shirt, she will add two streamers to the collar and tie a beautiful bow to make it look elegant and charming. + +"My grandma is not old at all, she looks just like my aunt." Tian Sisi flattered her, she would be staying here for half a month, and she had to have a good relationship with the hostess. As expected, Zhou Yali was so coaxed that she couldn't close her mouth. + +After He Xuewen and Tian Sisi went out, Zhou Yali said to Hu Yaohan: "Oh, Yaohan, it would be great if I had a grandson like Grandma. No wonder they say that daughters are little cotton-padded jackets. Grandchildren are better than grandsons, and they are less naughty. Unlike those three little red guys, who know how to naughty me every day." + +Hu Yaohan agreed with his face, but secretly cursed in his belly. When your daughter-in-law was pregnant, didn't you go to the temple to ask for a grandson? Are you talking about Sun Nan now? + +"Then let Dingbei Manxing have another grandchild. Ala is still young and can eat well." + +Hu Yaohan also liked Sun Nan very much, especially when he saw the beautiful and cute Tian Sisi, the long-hidden granddaughter control in his heart immediately sprouted. + +"Yes, I want Man Xing and Ding Bei to have another child. Oh, Ara will have a beautiful grandson soon. I am so happy!" + +Tian Sisi would definitely roll her eyes if she heard this, but Zhou Yali made it look like Tian Manxing already had a baby in her belly, even if it hadn't happened yet. Moreover, even if Tian Manxing was born again, you, the old man, must have known that he would give birth to a granddaughter, just in case it was a grandson again! + +He Xuewen rode out of the alley with Tian Sisi. He wanted to get some rice and oil to go back. Before, he thought he would only stay for two or three days before leaving the Hu family, but now he would have to stay for at least half a month, so he would need to get more supplies for the Hu family, especially rice. + +As far as he knew, Shanghai people now only have 8 kilograms of rice per person per month, and the rest is yellow rice. Although the price of rice has increased now, and it is said to be nutritious and especially suitable for diabetics, people at this time did not like to eat hard and rough rice. + +Therefore, Shanghainese people generally eat chanmi, and only cook rice during festivals or when guests come over. The Hu family cooks soft rice at noon. Shanghai people are so face-conscious that they will definitely not let them eat chanmi. If they cook rice for half a month, they will probably finish all the Hu family’s rice. + +They came to a secluded place. Tian Sisi took out a bag of about thirty kilograms of rice and a jar of soybean oil, weighing five or six kilograms. He also took out a bag of about ten kilograms of flour. He Xuewen carefully tied the things to the back seat of the car. + +"Dad, are these enough? Do you want some more?" + +"That's enough. Don't take too much at one time. We'll take it again after a while." + +"Well, Dad, where is our home? Is it here too?" + +"No, our home is on Fenyang Road. My father will take you to see it tomorrow. I will take some time to go with you to collect the treasure trove of our He family. These things all belong to Grandma." + +"Where's Brother He's?" Tian Sisi couldn't bear it. He Chengsi was also very kind to her. + +"Don't worry, Grandma, your brother He's father has already arranged it, and he has other things for him." + +He Xuewen comforted his daughter softly. Of course he would not treat his adopted son badly. He had already planned that in the future, half of the money he earned would be given to his daughter and half to Cheng Si. However, the He family's treasure trove must definitely be left to A-nan. This is something belonging to the He family and can only be left to the blood of the He family.

He can get these good things when supplies are so tight. How can ordinary people do it? + +What Tian Sisi didn't know was that just because of the things she and He Xuewen had brought back these few times, Tian Manxing's status in the Hu family was rising steadily, and her life was much more comfortable than before. Zhou Yali no longer always disliked her for being from a rural area as before. + +With the food brought back by He Xuewen, the dishes in the evening were more abundant. Tian Manxing used all his skills to cook a table full of dishes. Even Hu Yaohan got interested and cooked a simple version of borscht himself. + +"Oh, Aladu, old man Chen Guang didn't eat the borscht made by Nong's father. Now I can have a meal thanks to your help." + +Zhou Yali spoke to Tian Manxing in a slightly exaggerated tone. Tian Manxing smiled and said nothing. She was in a very good mood today. How could she not notice the change in her mother-in-law's attitude? Although it was a bit ironic, she was still very happy and grateful to He Xuewen. + +"Humu, you are too polite. Don't be so open to outsiders." He Xuewen said with a smile. + +"The most important thing in making borscht is the oil sauce. The best oil is butter, but without butter, lard and rapeseed oil are also good. The ratio is one to one. But Nong Mu thinks it is too greasy, so I will put less oil. Nong will keep it in mind so that it can be cooked for Man Xing next time." + +Hu Yaohan said to Hu Dingbei while frying the oil and flour sauce in the pot. Hu Dingbei responded repeatedly. Tian Manxing's face turned red slightly, but there was a smile on his face. + +Tian Sisi finds it quite interesting. In previous generations, Chinese people often used terms such as "stingy, snobbish, shrewd, and xenophobic" to describe Shanghainese people. But in her opinion, Shanghainese people still have many advantages, especially Shanghainese men. They are really models of doting on their wives, and there is no second one in the world. + +"Originally, it would be more delicious if it had beef and tomato sauce soup, but it would also be nice to have sausage and tomatoes. It tastes just as good." + +Hu Yaohan felt a little regretful. He Xuewen interjected: "I'll go look for it tomorrow. Maybe I can get beef and tomato sauce. What other special dishes does Uncle Hu have and what ingredients are needed. If not, I'll make some lists. I'll go look for them. It will also open our eyes!" + +"Oh, I have no luck." Tian Mantong joked. + +"Brother-in-law, don't worry. Once I learn how to cook it with Grandpa these days, I will cook it for you when I get back." + +Tian Sisi comforted Tian Mantong, which made Tian Mantong hug her and kiss her several times. She was very happy. + +"Oh, why is this so embarrassing? What's the point of asking customers to buy groceries? It's so embarrassing." + +Of course Zhou Yali is very happy in her heart, but she still has to be polite. In fact, she is also hungry for those good dishes, but now she can't buy these good things even if she has money. + +"It doesn't matter. I've long heard that Uncle Ho's cooking skills are better than those of chefs in big hotels. I'll take this opportunity to indulge in a feast." + +He Xuewen's words were sincere and made the Hu family very happy and they did not feel embarrassed. This was the brilliance of He Xuewen's words. + +Tian Sisi stood next to Hu Yaohan with a serious look on her face and watched his steps and ingredients. Although Hu Yaohan thought it was funny for a little person to learn to cook, he still explained carefully, "This cabbage cannot be cut with a knife. It must be shredded by hand. This will make it easier to taste." + +Tian Sisi nodded while listening. In fact, the making of borscht is not complicated, and the ingredients can be used in a variety of ways, but you must be patient. You can't make delicious borscht if you are in a restless mood. Because there is no beef, the soup does not need to be cooked for too long, and it will be out of the pot in half an hour. + +The soft boiled vegetable leaves floated on the red soup, and the rich fragrance filled the entire kitchen. Everyone took a deep breath with satisfaction, "It smells so good!" Zhou Yali exclaimed. + +Hu Yaohan specially took a large white jade-like soup bowl to serve the borscht soup. "The container used to serve the soup is also very particular. The color, smell, shape, and everything are indispensable. If you use a steel pot to serve the soup, even the most delicious soup will be discounted by half." + +Although Tian Sisi had always thought that even soup in a wooden bowl was delicious when she was hungry, the red soup rippling in the white jade bowl before her eyes, red and white, and Zhou Yali also specially washed a few celery leaves and floated them on the soup surface as a decoration, really made people's eyes brighten and increased their appetite. + +Tian Sisi suddenly had a realization. How a person lives is actually closely related to his or her own personality. A discerning person will try his best to live a tasteful life. Even if he or she does not have money to buy flowers, he or she may go to the wild to pick a handful of wild flowers and put them in a glass vase. If he or she does not have money to buy a cake, he or she can use flour to bake a birthday cake for himself on a simple stove. + +If there is no romance, create romance yourself, so that life will not be wasted. I don’t know who said this sentence, but it is extremely appropriate at this time. Tian Sisi suddenly admired Hu Yaohan and Zhou Yali. They are romantic. In this gray, green and blue era, they still maintain a romantic heart. + +Everyone ate to their heart's content at dinner, especially the bowl of borscht that was praised by everyone. However, Tian Sisi was not included in this group. She was holding a bowl of white porridge and drinking it, watching eagerly as others drank the delicious soup. + +"Aren't you greedy? It doesn't matter. In two days, grandpa will cook soup for Nong so that Nong can enjoy it." Hu Yaohan looked at Tian Sisi's pitiful look in amusement and comforted her softly. + +"Thank you, grandpa." + +Tian Mantong went back after breakfast early the next morning. Tian Xinhua and the others were obsessed with watching movies recently. Yesterday's "Better Die Than Surrender" made them enjoy themselves. The four of them discussed that they must watch all those good movies in the past few days. + +Tian Sisi did not participate in their program, mainly because she was really indifferent to current movies. In her previous life, she often heard Zhong Juying talk about how good a North Korean film "Pygmalion" was, and said it was much more touching than "Mom Love Me Again". She would cry every time she watched it. + +After hearing more, Tian Sisi became interested and downloaded the movie on her computer. After watching a third of it, she couldn't stand it anymore. The landowner was extremely evil and had no conscience. The heroine was only worse but not the worst. In short, it was a story about a poor girl who finally found the warm spring after experiencing a cold winter. + +The plot is old-fashioned, the costumes are crude, and the makeup skills are poor. This is how Tian Sisi felt in the eyes of Tian Sisi, who has watched many high-tech Hollywood blockbusters. But at this time, the movies shown in the cinema are of course excellent. + +Hu Yaohan and Tian Manxing both went to work, and He Xuewen also took Tian Sisi out. Before going out, he told the Hu family that they would not come back for lunch. They had to go to several places today.(To be continued.

The He family's old house is located on Fenyang Road, not far from the famous White Mansion (fictional). Fenyang Road was originally the site of the French Concession, so there are many European villas here. Walking on this road full of French plane trees, I thought I was in Europe. + +"Wow, Dad, our home is so beautiful!" + +When Tian Sisi saw the beautiful and pure European-style He's house, she couldn't help but admire loudly. Even in the 21st century, this villa was not out of date. On the contrary, it had a kind of precipitation of time, which could not be compared with those exquisite villas in previous lives. + +"Of course it's beautiful. Our He Mansion and Bai Mansion were built by the same company. It seems to be a construction company in the United States. It took seven or eight years to build this house. I wasn't born at that time. It was built by your great-grandpa." + +He Xuewen looked at the familiar home in front of him, his eyes warmed up. He didn't expect that He Xuewen would be able to come back in this life and take his daughter with him. But he didn't know if the three of them could be reunited? + +The heat was gradually rising. He Xuewen hurriedly lowered his head and coughed, wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes. Tian Sisi pretended not to notice and grabbed He Xuewen's hand, trying to give him some comfort. + +He Xuewen took out a bunch of keys from his bag, took out one and inserted it into the door of the villa. "Click", the door opened in response, revealing the shiny marble floor and pieces of white cloth inside, which looked a bit scary. + +Tian Sisi suddenly felt cold and tightened her hand on He Xuewen's hand, "Don't be afraid, grandma, this is our home." + +"Yeah." + +Tian Sisi was actually very confused, judging from the history she had learned in her previous life. A garden house as big as He's house should have been expropriated by the government long ago, right? But now it seems that this house should still be under He Xuewen's name? + +"Dad, I heard from my brother-in-law that many bungalows in Shanghai have been confiscated by the government. Why hasn't our house been confiscated?" + +He Xuewen sneered, "Our family doesn't just have this bungalow. There are villas in other places such as Huaihai Road, Hongqiao Road, Yuyuan Road, and Xinhua Road. There are eight units in total, but none of them are as big as this one. Those bungalows have been confiscated by the government, and now some government officials live there." + +"As for this house, it is the old house of our He family. It is the largest and best. It should have been confiscated originally, but Liu Jinyi thought that the treasure trove of our He family was in this house, so he stepped in to save it, and it is still in my name." + +He Xuewen felt funny when he thought about it. Liu Jinyi can be regarded as stealing the chicken but losing the rice. But he should also thank Liu Jinyi. If he hadn't saved this house out of selfish motives, how could the He family be ruined by those people? + +"These are the ancestors of our He family. Grandma, come and pay homage!" + +He Xuewen brought Tian Sisi to a room. The room was filled with memorial tablets and several photos. Tian Sisi knelt down obediently and kowtowed three times. + +"The ancestors of the He family are on high. The unfilial descendant He Xuewen brought his daughter to pay homage. Here, Xuewen would like to tell all the ancestors that the little girl Sisi is the real heir of the He family and has found the real treasure house of our He family. I also ask all the ancestors to bless Xuewen to re-expand the Hejia wine and restore its former glory in his lifetime!" + +He Xuewen knelt on the ground and knelt down devoutly, with tears in his eyes. + +"Dad, are the people in the photo your grandparents?" After He Xuewen bowed down, Tian Sisi looked at the photos on the wall and asked. + +"Yes, this is your great-great-grandfather and great-great-grandmother. This is your great-grandfather and great-grandmother. These are your grandfather and your mother-in-law." + +Every time He Xuewen introduced someone, Tian Sisi kowtowed on the ground and muttered in her heart, "Ancestors of the He family, although I am not a real He family, I will definitely help my father to promote the He family wine so that foreigners will also love to drink our He family wine. You can play freely underground, and I will honor you during every New Year and festival." + +Maybe it was a psychological effect, but Tian Sisi always felt that her great-grandfather was smiling at her, with a kind face, "Dad, great-grandfather smiled at me." + +"Don't be ridiculous, that's what your grandpa Zeng was smiling at when he took the photo." He Xuewen couldn't laugh or cry, and the kid was talking nonsense. + +Tian Sisi smiled. He Xuewen carefully wiped every tablet and photo clean. Tian Sisi also helped wipe it. After wiping it, they kowtowed a few more times and went to other rooms. + +He Mansion is very large, three stories high, with an attic, a large lawn in the front, and a garden with a pond in the back. According to He Xuewen, it covers an area of ​​nearly 10, 000 square meters, and the building area is about 3, 000 square meters. Every time He Xuewen said something, Tian Sisi's little heart started pounding, and it almost jumped to her throat. + +Mom, a 10, 000-square-meter bungalow is still in Shanghai, and it's in the city center. Oh my God, this is a golden mountain! It must be worth at least 100 million, right? Tian Sisi suddenly felt that God was really her ancestor, why did he give her such a rich biological father? + +Tian Sisi's face turned red with excitement. He Xuewen thought she was hot, so he asked Tian Sisi to rest for a while before going shopping. Tian Sisi shook her head. There were so many houses in the He family, so it would take a long time to go shopping. + +There were many antiques and furniture in the house. He Xuewen said that some of the furniture was made of yellow plow and red sandalwood. Tian Sisi thought about it and asked, "Dad, are these things valuable?" + +"Of course they are valuable. These were used by the palace in the past. Your grandpa Zeng and grandpa spent a lot of effort to get them back." He Xuewen said with a smile. + +"Then I'll put them away to prevent others from breaking them, and Grandpa Zeng and Grandpa will be sad." + +He Xuewen felt the same. Although these things were not the most valuable in the He family, they were still the hard work of his grandfather and father. He nodded. Tian Sisi smiled happily and, under He Xuewen's guidance, put some valuable furniture and antiques into the space. + +"Auntie, this house belongs to you. Your mother and I decorated it together." + +They arrived at the second floor. He Xuewen pushed open a pink room and said with emotion. This room was decorated with great care. It was like a luxurious princess room.

I will definitely be able to eat two bowls of rice tonight." + +When He Xuewen saw that his daughter would definitely refuse to climb up, he had no choice but to give up.

The corridor was winding and it was very difficult to walk. After about ten minutes, they came to a square room, about 100 square meters. The surrounding walls and floor were covered with cement. It looked very clean, and the air inside was also very fresh. I thought there should be a ventilated place here. + +There are many large and small wine jars on the ground, probably more than a hundred of them. There are also small signs on them, which read "Fei Yang Wine", "Yang Yang Wine", "Kidney Wine"... etc. These are probably the ancient wines passed down by the ancestors of the He family. + +He Xuewen touched the wine jars excitedly. After a long time, he asked Tian Sisi to put away the wine. As soon as the wine jars were put away, the room suddenly became quite empty, with dozens of sandalwood boxes left. + +He Xuewen didn't care about these boxes. Although these boxes contained the He family's wealth for two hundred years, in the hearts of the He family, as long as there was a secret recipe and someone found it, the wealth could always be earned. + +Tian Sisi curiously opened a box at her feet. It contained jade articles, which looked very valuable. + +"There used to be an ancestor of the He family who liked jade very much. There are several boxes of jade here that this ancestor collected. Grandma would wear one if she liked it." + +He Xuewen picked out a piece of milky-white safety buckle from the box as he spoke, "There is no jade rope now. When I go back, my father will find a jade rope for you to tie it on, and grandma can wear it. Girls wear jade to support others." + +"Yes." Tian Sisi nodded happily. She also liked wearing jade in her previous life, but of course the one she wore was not as good as the one in front of her. This safety buckle looked extraordinary at first glance. + +Most of the remaining boxes are filled with jewelry and gold, probably because there are too many treasures. Tian Sisi's mood is not that exciting. She is very calm now. + +After putting away all the boxes, He Xuewen glanced at the warehouse with nostalgia, then pulled Tian Sisi out of the treasure house.

Tian Sisi looked at the beautiful scenery with regret, oh, it would be great if she brought a camera, so that she could take pictures of the unexplored scenery of Sheshan Mountain. + +When they were going down the mountain, they met a middle-aged man in his forties, with a hare hanging on his waist and a basket in his hand. Tian Sisi pulled He Xuewen's hand hard. How could He Xuewen not know what his daughter was thinking, so he immediately greeted the man and pulled out a cigarette and handed it to him. + +"Master, can you sell this hare?" + +The man was startled by the two of them, but when he saw how the two father and daughter were dressed, he felt at ease. They were probably city people who came here for an outing. City people just like to play this way. He has been watching this mountain for forty years. + +"It's for sale. How much money do you have to pay?" The man nodded repeatedly. + +"Do you think this is okay? The pork in the city is 70 cents per pound, and I will give you 70 cents per pound. This rabbit is about seven or eight pounds. Even if it is eight pounds, I will pay you six yuan, okay?" + +"Okay, okay." The man was very happy. He met his boss today. He used to go to the black market to sell a rabbit for only three yuan at most. + +He Xuewen paid the money and took the rabbit. The man put the money into his pocket, hesitated for a while, and asked, "Do you want Nong Changchong?" + +"Longworm? Let me take a look." He Xuewen put his head into the basket and took a look. It was a cauliflower snake as thick as a child's arm, curled up in a ball in the basket. + +"If you want it, I'll pay you another five yuan and give me this basket." + +Of course the man was very happy. He took the money and gave both the snake and the basket to He Xuewen, and went back happily. + +Tian Sisi didn't understand what the long worm was at first. When she realized that the long worm was a snake, He Xuewen had already bought it. She was so frightened that she immediately stayed two meters away from He Xuewen and said, "Dad, I don't eat snake meat, you can eat it yourself." + +He Xuewen smiled helplessly. He was not thinking about his daughter. Eating some snake meat in summer would not cause prickly heat, and it was also nutritious. Who knew this little girl wouldn't appreciate it.(To be continued.

It's a pity that you didn't go to the movie. The movie was so good." He Chengsi ate the ice cream with relish, looking like Tian Sisi regretted not going to the movie. + +Tian Xinhua didn't say anything. Uncle He and A'nan must have some secrets that they don't want others to know. That's why he didn't ask anything in the past two days, but seeing how happy Uncle He and A'nan were, I guess the matter has been settled, right? + +"We went hiking, Brother He, Brother Xinhua, let's go hiking next time. I forgot to bring my camera today. Next time we will bring my camera to take pictures." + +"Where did Grandma go to climb the mountain?" Hu Weichao asked. + +"It's Sheshan. The scenery there is quite beautiful!" + +"It turns out that Grandma and Uncle He went to Sheshan to play. It's really nice there. My classmates and I also went there. How about we go there tomorrow and take more photos." + +Hu Weichao became interested. How could a young boy not like to play? Besides, there are advanced gadgets like cameras. Hu Weichao has long wanted to take photos by himself. But the family just refused to buy it. + +"Okay. Let's go to Sheshan tomorrow." Hu Weixin happily licked the ice cream and echoed loudly. + +"Brother Wei Chao, I want to play too." The little girl called from the side. + +"I won't take you with me. You have to hold you back every time you go out. I can't carry you." Hu Weichao refused without even thinking. + +The little girl's eyes turned red instantly, and tears kept rolling in her eyes, but they just refused to fall down. I have to say that this is a skill. + +When the little girl saw that no one was speaking to her, she immediately called for reinforcements. Seeing the little girl's aggrieved look, Zhou Yali immediately ordered Hu Weichao: "Weichao, take cousin Nong Qiqi to climb the mountain with you tomorrow. Remember this!" + +The little girl, Qiqi, snorted at Tian Sisi proudly, which made Tian Sisi confused. Why are you snoring at her? It's not like she refuses to take you to climb the mountain? + +"Brother Wei Chao, we bought a rabbit from an uncle on the mountain today. We can eat rabbit meat tonight!" Tian Sisi said proudly. + +"Really, where is the rabbit?" Hu Weichao was indeed interested. The temptation of meat is always the greatest. + +"There is also a big snake in the yard. It's scary." + +"Snake! Where did the snake come from?" Zhou Yali jumped up when she heard the snake, her expression was nervous and her voice was trembling. + +"Oh, you are so old and you still look like a little girl. Why are you afraid of snakes? I didn't hear you clearly. I clearly said that I bought them from the mountains." + +Zhou Meili couldn't stand her sister's behavior. Her sister has been like this since she was a child, petite, making a fuss at every turn. It's because she was lucky, married a good husband, and never had to worry about anything in her life. She is still as young as a little girl at this age. + +"Go and have a look!" + +The boys were even more happy when they heard about the snake, and swarmed to the yard. Qiqi thought about it and followed her. Zhou Yali said to Zhou Meili: "Sister, tonight's dinner is at Ala's house. I don't know how good the food at Ala's house has been in the past two days. It's all thanks to the good things that Xue Wen got." + +Zhou Yali spoke with a bit of pride, of course she also really wanted her sister to have a good meal. Her sister is a retired teacher, and her brother-in-law is a retired bank employee. She has always been very economical in her life, and she is reluctant to throw away a pair of torn socks, let alone buy some good ones. + +"It's not good. No one at home cooks dinner, and brother-in-law Nong can't cook it." Zhou Meili disagreed. + +"Oh, what's wrong? I'll ask Weiwen to pick up my brother-in-law, and we'll have dinner here together. That's what we agreed. Don't be polite to me." Zhou Yali got up and was about to ask Hu Weiwen to pick him up. + +"And your nephew and his wife are here. They come back from get off work and want food. Don't bother Wei Wen." + +Zhou Meili grabbed her sister. These days, every family is not rich in food, and no one would go to someone else's house and stay for a meal. Of course, she is not such a shy person. + +"Oh, I'm really worried. My daughter-in-law is asking for it just to show off, isn't she? They don't have any hands or feet at home? Why do they want an old woman to cook for them? I really can't think straight!" + +Zhou Yali hated that iron could not become steel, so she put her hands on her hips and lectured her sister. At this moment, she thought about Tian Manxing's good fortune. Her daughter-in-law took care of all the housework at home, and she, the mother-in-law, did not have to interfere at all. + +Zhou Yali was too lazy to talk to her sister and asked Wei Wen to go pick her up directly. She continued to brainwash her sister, "I have a retirement salary, and I don't want my son and wife to support me in old age. What is there to be afraid of? From now on, I can straighten my back and do the housework if I want to do it. I don't do it if I don't want to. She is their mother, not the nanny they hired! Besides, the nanny also has to pay wages!" + +Zhou Yali doesn't look down on the eldest sister's two daughters-in-law at all. She's just a teacher. What's so big about her salary of thirty yuan? Her family, Manxing, still has more than 80 yuan a month, but none of them can look at the sky like those two. + +There are two nephews who are equally heartless. They married a wife and forgot about my mother. They treat me like a nanny all day long. Next time she sees her, she must give her a good scolding. She is really a black heart! + +Zhou Meili lowered her head and listened to her sister teach her, and didn't bother to explain. Every family has its own rules, and not every woman is as lucky as her sister. Besides, her son and daughter-in-law are pretty good. At least they bring in living expenses every month.

Although it will be a bit difficult, but with his third uncle taking care of him, it should be better after thinking about it." + +"Oh, Nong's Man Xing really doesn't show off his mountains and rivers. For so many years, Ala didn't know that Brother Man Xing was such a high-ranking official in the army. If he had known earlier, my Ahua could have gone to Inner Mongolia four years ago. Alas, my poor Sun Nan!" + +Zhou Meili was envious at first, and then complained about her sister. Since your family has such a well-connected in-law, why didn't you establish a relationship with her granddaughter? It's really unscrupulous. + +"Ah, Ala just found out about it.

I think you eat more than us!" + +Hu Weichao also joked: "Oh, Qiqi, isn't this called false compassion?

But he is not the kind of unreasonable person, and he is quite simple, so Tian Sisi doesn't mind giving in to her. + +Tian Sisi actually doesn't like visiting these famous places. In her previous life, she had played all the time. She was more interested in the old alleys in Shanghai. Most of these ancient alleys were demolished in their previous lives. If you want to see them, you can only see them in photos. + +Tian Sisi took a lot of photos of the alleys, including various tiger stoves, old ladies pushing toilet carts in the early morning, public urinals in the corners of the alleys, old ladies queuing up to buy food at the market, alleys where households collectively fired coal stoves in the early morning, and bustling alleys returning from work in the afternoon. All these were stored in Tian Sisi's camera, and she took at least a dozen rolls of film. + +Tian Sisi's generosity shocked the two brothers Hu Weichao, and it was difficult for them to understand her feelings in the alley. + +"Auntie, why are you taking pictures of these alleys? Is there anything good to take pictures of in the alleys?" + +"Let's keep it as a souvenir. Maybe these alleys will no longer be visible in the future." Tian Sisi sighed with emotion. + +Hu Weichao and Hu Weixin both laughed. If there is one thing that is most popular in Shanghai, it must be the alleys. How could they not see it? + +Tian Sisi did not try to explain anything. Time will prove everything. She did not expect at the moment that the more than a hundred photos taken in the past few days would become high-quality products decades later. Many newspapers and magazines asked her to buy the copyright of these photos, and many so-called experts came to her to borrow photos, just to understand the Shanghai alleys in the 1970s. + +Half a month passed quickly.

This time he brought a lot of gifts, including meat, chicken, rice, sugar, snacks and other things, which were all used in daily life and were very affordable. + +Xu Chunjiao couldn't help but smile when she saw these gifts. She immediately poured the ordinary tea she had brewed into her cup and replaced it with the treasured West Lake Longjing tea.

Ouyang Tao put away the needle with a smile and said that Tian Sisi was cured and that as long as she pays attention to her diet, she will be fine. + +After He Xuewen thanked him, he left each other's contact information, saying that they would move around as relatives in the future. He Xuewen thought that Ouyang Tao's medical skills would definitely come in handy in the future, and Xu Chunjiao was even more eager to do so. It would be so honorable to have such a wealthy relative! + +After returning from Ouyang Tao's house, He Xuewen also got a lot of supplies for the Hu family, and stayed at the Hu family for half a month. The Hu family was also very enthusiastic, and He Xuewen was very grateful. He said goodbye to the Hu family the next day, saying that he would come back to play again in the future, and asked Hu Yaohan and Zhou Yali to go to Yuequan Village when they were free, so that he could fulfill his friendship as a landlord. + +Qiqi's eyes were red from crying, and she refused to let Tian Sisi go, which made Tian Sisi, who was originally indifferent, feel sour. "Qiqi, after we come back from Beijing, I will ask my uncle to pick you up and go to my house to play. My house is very fun. There are many little rabbits and birds, and you can also catch fish." + +After hearing this, Hu Weichao and Hu Weixin both said they wanted to play, and they also high-fived Tian Xinhua and He Chengsi and swore an oath, which was very grand.

The interiors of the carriages are also very dilapidated. In addition, it is summer and they are crowded, dirty, messy, smelly and hot. This is how Tian Sisi feels about today's trains. + +Their sleeper carriages were slightly better. The people in the carriages were usually cadres in the work units or officers in the army.

In her previous life, she had also worked on a green train when she was a child. When she was in her teens, Zhong Juying had just made a lot of money and was in a good mood, so she and her friends took their children out for a trip. They took this kind of coal-burning slow train. + +But this was the only time, so this "clang, clink, clink, clink" sound made Tian Sisi feel very warm. However, no matter how nice the sound is, it will become boring after listening to it for a long time, not to mention the sound of the train moving without any texture. + +Not long after, Tian Sisi's eyelids started to twitch and she fell asleep on the bed. He Xuewen lovingly carried her daughter to the upper bunk and covered her with a blanket. + +The next journey is even more boring. Today's trains are not only slow, but also stop at many and long platforms. They will stop to replenish water at large and small platforms.

The luggage this time mainly consisted of about ten jars of wine, and the rest was just some changes of clothes. Fortunately, Tian Xinhua came with him, otherwise it would be quite difficult for him and Cheng Si to carry so much wine. + +There was an episode when sleeping at night. Tian Xinhua was sleeping lightly. At two or three o'clock in the morning, he found a sneaky black figure, bending over and trying to take away the bag containing the wine jar.

I will help you look after the bag to prevent the wine jar from breaking." + +Tian Sisi especially emphasized the word "break". He Xuewen understood what his daughter meant as soon as he heard it, and laughed to himself that he was stupid.

He grinned as soon as he saw He Xuewen, "Young man, you came very quickly. Come in." + +Luo Datou has a good attitude, but he has probably been a villain for too long.

If she had been an ordinary little girl, she would have been scared to tears. Luo Datou looked at Tian Sisi with interest. This little girl is good and courageous. Her husband happened to be bored, so she asked her to accompany him to relieve his boredom. + +Mr. Yun was enjoying tea and flowers in the back garden when he saw He Xuewen smiling faintly. Luo Datou had already put the five jars of wine into the warehouse like treasures. Mr. Yun felt much better after drinking the wine.

However, she thought about it for a long time and had never heard of such a person in the central government. She had never heard of Mr. Yun on TV or in news reports. + +It makes no sense. From what her father said, Mr. Yun should be a very powerful person, even more powerful than Grandpa Yang, but she had seen Yang Haoyuan on TV a few times in her previous life. Yang Haoyuan didn't seem to be doing very well in his previous life, even worse than now. However, Yang Haoyuan lived a long life, and he didn't die until he was over ninety years old. + +As for the reason, Tian Sisi is not sure, but some people analyze that it is because Yang Haoyuan participated in the operation to arrest the four people. It is said that the political and military leaders who participated in that operation did not seem to be doing very well. + +Although she didn't know if this was the reason, since the Yang family and He Xuewen were in a cooperative relationship, the better the Yang family was, the better the He family would be. She might as well give it a subtle reminder when the time comes! + +But this Mr. Yun is a bit strange.

Tian Sisi couldn't help but mutter to herself. + +He Xuewen was shocked. This dead girl didn't even look at where this place was and dared to say anything nonsense. He was about to apologize. Mr. Yun was startled at first, his face was in a daze for a few seconds, and he looked at Tian Sisi in a daze, as if he was looking at her, and he seemed to be looking at another person through her. + +When Tian Sisi realized what she said, she wanted to bite off her tongue and let you talk nonsense.

Anyway, he was thick-skinned, and he would not lose any flesh if he stared at her a few times. Besides, it was for his own good. It was rare for him to be interested in one thing in recent years, so of course he had to make him happy. After all, Luo Datou treated Tian Sisi as a toy. + +In these short few minutes, Tian Sisi has thought a lot. Judging from the appearance of Mr. Yun, she should like her more, because she can't feel any bad breath about Mr. Yun.

The so-called heavily guarded military compound could not even watch a child. It was really embarrassing for him to be thrown into his grandma's house! + +"Just calm down! After a few days of hard work, don't cause trouble! Besides, you are no longer in that position, why do you care so much!" Xiang Yingchun rolled her eyes at her husband and said angrily. + +"Uncle Yang, don't blame the sentries for being irresponsible. To be honest, the skills of those sentries are not as good as Xinhua's! You don't know, but Xinhua is a descendant of the authentic Baji Sect. According to his grandfather Tian Liujin, this kid can defeat more than twenty big men now with no problem at all." + +He Xuewen's words really interested Mr. Yang, even though he was a Confucian general. I don’t know much about martial arts, but I certainly know about the Baji Sect. Back then, the Baji Sect’s magic gun Li Shuwen was invincible in the world, and his style was unparalleled! + +I didn’t expect that that gentle guy Tian Xinhua could be so capable. He really can’t be judged by his appearance! But thinking about Tian Liujin's life-threatening style in the past, Mr. Yang didn't find it strange. + +"Dad, I am also very powerful. Huh, Xinhua took the lead last night. I will also sneak out tonight. I bet those sentries don't know." He Chengsi said unconvinced. + +Mr. Yang was very happy with He Chengsi's tough-headed appearance. Although he also wanted to see what He Chengsi was capable of, he still shook his head and said, "I'm afraid Xinhua was lucky last night. If he was discovered by a sentry, he could shoot him with one shot. But it's extremely dangerous. Chengsi better not try, your father and sister Sisi will be worried." + +He Xuewen broke into a cold sweat when he heard that the sentry really knew how to shoot. He hurriedly reprimanded He Chengsi with a straight face and asked him to give up the idea before he felt relieved. But in his heart, he planned to talk to Tian Xinhua when he saw him later, and he would not do such dangerous things in the future! + +After Tian Sisi got up early, she was startled by Tian Xinhua who suddenly appeared, but then she thought that Brother Xinhua must have slipped over because he was worried about her. The little girl looked at Tian Xinhua with red eyes, and was so moved! + +Tian Xinhua saw that A'nan's face was rosy and refreshed, so he knew that the little girl had slept very well. He put down his worries all night, but he was speechless about the girl's carelessness. He was worried about her, but she slept soundly! + +Yun Mansion's breakfast was very sumptuous, including preserved egg and lean meat porridge, steamed buns stuffed with vegetables and mushrooms, and steamed buns with meat. It was so fragrant that it made Tian Sisi's mouth water and her stomach growl. Her appetite was so good now that she could eat more than twice as much as before. + +Niu Erniu first served the porridge for Mr. Yun, and then served it for Tian Sisi. Tian Sisi took a sip of the porridge first and squinted her eyes with satisfaction, "Grandpa Yun, you are really lucky. You can eat so many delicious things every day!" + +"It's not easy to eat good food. If you live in my house, you can have all the delicious food you want, and it won't be the same every day!" Mr. Yun teased her. + +"I think so too, but I still have to go back and honor my grandpa and mother-in-law. Alas, there's no such thing as the best of both worlds. I'd better eat more while I'm staying with you." + +Tian Sisi said seriously, looking like an adult, making Mr. Yun chuckle, "Then you eat more, there won't be this shop after passing this village." + +Tian Sisi nodded very carefully, then bit down hard on the meat bun in her hand, and half of it was gone in one bite. The meat bun made by Niu Erniu was oily but not greasy, which was very suitable for Tian Sisi's taste. + +"Brother Xinhua, these meat buns are delicious, much better than the buns in our town!" Tian Sisi was immediately captured by Niu Erniu's buns, and she did not forget to pass them to Tian Xinhua, and the two little guys started eating them with big mouthfuls. + +Mr. Yun looked at the little girl and Tian Xinhua devouring their food, and muttered to himself, are these meat buns so delicious? He thought about it and picked up a meat bun. When he ate it, it was probably because there were so many people. He also felt that the meat bun was quite fragrant and not as greasy as before. He ate two meat buns and drank a bowl of porridge, which made Luo Datou and Niu Erniu very happy. + +"Grandpa Yun, you eat too little! I eat more than you! Why don't you also get an acupuncture? I just feel better after the acupuncture." Tian Sisi deliberately teased. + +Mr. Yun didn't know what acupuncture meant. He looked at Tian Xinhua in confusion. Tian Xinhua, holding back his laughter, told him about Tian Sisi getting acupuncture for a malnutrition in Shanghai, which made Luo Datou laugh. + +"What do you, a little kid, know? That rickets only occur in children. How old is our husband? If there are still rickets, I'll laugh to death!" + +Of course Tian Sisi knew that the adults would not be in trouble, wasn't she just pretending to be a clown to make them happy? If you are in a good mood, your appetite will be good, but if you have a good appetite, your health will be better. My father still has to rely on Mr. Yun to protect him! Besides, she also liked Mr. Yun very much and didn't want to see him looking so sick. + +Tian Sisi rolled her eyes at Luo Da, who was still laughing, and smiled, not understanding her painstaking efforts at all! + +Luo Datou didn't mind her little girl. Seeing that Mr. Yun actually took a meat stuffed bun and ate it, he was only grateful to Tian Sisi. Over the years, he and his wife were able to eat more for their husband, but they tried their best and couldn't even say a word to this little girl! + +Thinking of this, Luo Datou's eyes looked at Tian Sisi as if they were shining, as if Tian Sisi was some kind of treasure. Now Tian Sisi is a treasure in Luo Datou's heart, even more precious than the gold in his warehouse! + +Before breakfast was finished, He Xuewen came and brought He Chengsi with him, along with a change of clothes for Tian Sisi and Tian Xinhua. + +Tian Sisi saw He Xuewen rushing towards him happily.

The two brothers and He Chengsi played all over the Yun Mansion, and they were happy to miss Shu. + +However, no matter how much they didn't miss Shu, they would ride home obediently every day and never stay overnight in Yun Mansion.

Tian Sisi felt that Mr. Yun just kept her here for fun and tried his best to make her do hard work every day. + +There were many crucian carp in the pond in the back garden of Yun Mansion. Tian Sisi was so bored that she became interested in these fish. She asked He Xuewen to get a fishing rod, ran to the pond and squatted for a long time, and caught two big crucian carp.

It turned out that this handsome guy married another girl. The sour and refreshing feeling can only be understood by trying it yourself. + +Feeling angry, Tian Sisi went fishing obediently, two fish a day.

He Xuewen responded quickly. + +"It's not necessary every day. I think this girl doesn't have the patience, so she can just study a few classes a week. She doesn't expect her to be a great person.

In fact, he had hesitated for a long time before coming out to report the news. If he was alone, he would not be afraid of Li Heizi and the others, but he still had younger brothers and sisters.

He was embarrassed to accept such high-end things. Tian Sisi didn't say much, smiled and stuffed the things into his arms, and urged Tian Xinhua to ride away. + +Ma Xiaoming was holding two packages of things, his eyes were a little moist. He sniffed, said thank you softly to the three people who were walking away, and turned around to go home. + +However, he did not expect that his life would change on this day, heading towards a bright road that he could not imagine before. In the years that followed, Ma Xiaoming was extremely grateful to him for his impulse that day. + +"Brother Xinhua, do you think that Li Heizi will take revenge on Ma Xiaoming?" Tian Sisi was still a little worried. With Ma Xiaoming's thin figure, Li Heizi could kill him with just one finger. + +"Probably not. Besides, I think that Ma Xiaoming must be quite capable. I don't think that Li Heizi still gives him face?" + +Tian Xinhua also wondered what Li Heizi valued about Ma Xiaoming. Mr. Yun often said that the masters are in the market. Maybe an old man doing business under the overpass is a martial arts master, so he must not underestimate anyone in the market alley. + +Tian Xinhua, who became interested, planned to wait for Ah Nan and the others to leave, then come back to the alley to look around. If Ma Xiaoming was really capable, he would like to make some friends. This was also what Mr. Yun taught, there are three religions and nine streams, and people from all walks of life must know each other in order to get first-hand information. + +Tian Si thought the same thing and stopped asking any more questions.

Then he was busy in the kitchen alone, and asked Tian Xinhua and others not to go in. Only Niu Erniu could go in, but there was a burst of fragrance coming from the kitchen. + +Luo Datou was so attracted by the aroma that he couldn't help it anymore, so he asked his wife what kind of good food the little girl was cooking there. Niu Erniu refused to say more, only saying that grandma was preparing a big meal and that she would be able to eat it in the evening. + +The more Niu Erniu said this, the more Luo Datou felt itchy. He wanted to run into the kitchen several times to see what was going on, but he held it back in the end. It was not that he was afraid of Tian Sisi, but mainly because his husband had told her not to disturb the little girl when she was doing her work. + +It was finally dinner time, and the dinner was served in the back garden. Under the enthusiastic anticipation of everyone, Niu Erniu helped Tian Sisi push out the dishes prepared in the kitchen to the dining cart. The most eye-catching thing was a sauce-colored wine jar, covered with lotus leaves. + +"Haha, Sisi girl, you were so busy that you prepared the jar of wine in just one day! It really made me laugh to death." Luo Datou looked at the jar of wine and clapped his hands and laughed. + +"Huh! Grandpa Luo, you are laughing at me, so stay here for a while and don't drink from my cup of wine." Tian Sisi rolled her eyes at Luo Datou, she was really ignorant! Luo Datou chuckled twice and did not respond to Tian Sisi's words. + +As soon as Mr. Yun looked at the wine jar, he knew why the little girl had to spend a whole day, and he felt a little more excited. Speaking of which, he had not eaten this dish for many years. + +Niu Erniu held the wine jar with a thick cloth and placed it on the table. Tian Xinhua helped bring other dishes to the table one by one. The dishes were all home-cooked dishes. There are many dishes such as steamed pork with rice flour, pot-roasted pork, garlic pork ribs, spring rolls, fish head with chopped pepper, steamed crucian carp, fish-flavored shredded pork, braised eggplant, steamed egg dumplings, borscht soup, etc. + +Tian Sisi stood up and lifted the lotus leaf covering the wine jar. Suddenly, the aroma of wine hit her nostrils and penetrated her heart. "It smells so good! Girl Sisi, what good things did you make?" Luo Datou sniffed hard. + +"Of course it's a good thing! Buddha jumped over the wall!" + +Tian Sisi scooped up a bowl with a spoon and handed it to Mr. Yun. The soup in the bowl was rich in color, brown, thick but not greasy, and full of aroma. Mr. Yun took the soup bowl with a smile and took a scoop into his mouth. Then he closed his eyes. It took a long time to open it. + +"Grandpa Yun, does it taste good?" Tian Sisi was a little anxious. This was a dietary method she had thought about for several days. + +It is said that this Buddha jumping over the wall can enhance immunity and prevent cancer. In short, it is very good for the human body. It’s just that this dish requires both materials and time. Most people are not willing to make this dish, but Yunfu can do it. Village ingredients are not a problem. People are not a problem and time is not a problem. + +That's why she thought of this method. According to her previous life, Mr. Yun was either killed by someone or died of illness. From her perspective, it was absolutely impossible for Mr. Yun to be killed. It would be good if Yun Huhu didn't harm others. Then the reason why Mr. Yun was not born in the previous life should be because he had died of illness. + +Thinking that this treacherous Yun Fox would die in a few years, Tian Sisi felt uncomfortable. She was not a heartless person. How could she not realize how kind Mr. Yun was to her? + +He Xuewen also told her about Mr. Yun's painstaking efforts and asked her to be filial to Mr. Yun in the future. In fact, Tian Sisi was a little uneasy. She was someone who would repay ten points of kindness to others. She was afraid that she was not qualified to receive the kindness from so many people, and she didn't know how to repay the kindness. + +The little girl was feeling uneasy. The activities in Tian Sisi's heart could not be hidden from the sensitive Mr. Yun. She looked at Tian Sisi meaningfully and didn't ask any questions. She just drank Buddha Jumping Over the Wall one sip after another. She drank until a thin sweat broke out on the tip of her nose and made her whole body feel comfortable. + +"It tastes good, but the heat is a little off." Mr. Yun finished the soup in the bowl, originally intending to say it was delicious, but when he saw the little girl's slightly expectant face, he discounted his praise by half, wanting to see the little girl's angry pout. + +But the little girl didn't jump as expected. Instead, she nodded and said, "This is my first time cooking this dish. The heat is definitely not enough. I'll just cook it a few more times in the future." + +Tian Sisi continued: "Grandpa Yun, this soup is very good for your body. I have written down the ingredients and methods for making this dish on paper and handed it to Nainai. Nainai will make it for you every week." + +Niu Erniu grinned and nodded: "Sir, I know how to cook it. From now on, I will stew it for you every day." + +"No, just do it once a week." + +Mr. Yun signaled Tian Sisi to fill up another bowl of Buddha Jumping Over the Wall. After finishing the drink, he lay down on a wicker chair to enjoy the coolness. His face was still pale, but only he knew that the hole in his heart was getting bigger and bigger, and he was afraid it would never close! + +He hates himself now. He is too fragile. He is just a bowl of Buddha jumping over the wall. When did his heart become so soft? + +But he likes the feeling now, as if he is stuffed with something, it is very comforting. He has never experienced this feeling, but he wants to have it all the time. Although it makes people weak, it can also make people feel comfortable! + +Everyone drank the delicious soup happily, and no one noticed Mr. Yun's mood at the moment. The main reason was that Mr. Yun's disguise was so good. Although he was very moved in his heart, his face was still cold. Only Tian Sisi, who was always sensitive, felt it. She quietly moved to Mr. Yun's side. + +"Are you very moved now? Too moved to speak?" + +Mr. Yun gave her a reserved look, "Do you think a mere bowl of soup can move me?" + +Mr. Yun would never admit to his death that he was so moved that he almost shed tears at that moment. Wouldn't that make this little girl laugh to death? + +"Come on, don't hold on, you can't deceive me." + +Tian Sisi looked like she was very moved, and Mr. Yun didn't bother to argue with her. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the coolness, smelling the fragrance of flowers, the breeze blowing, and the little girl's chirping in his ears. It was unexpectedly harmonious, so harmonious that he hoped that time would stay at this moment forever and not pass by. + +Tian Sisi, who had been chattering for a while, finally stopped.

Aren't you just afraid that he would feel uncomfortable? Haha, you know your own body best. I'm afraid he won't be able to survive for long! + +Luo Datou had no choice but to take off his clothes, only shirtless. He was indeed very hot, so he felt much more comfortable after taking off his clothes. He carefully fed Mr. Yun to drink the ginger soup, and saw that the greenish white on Mr. Yun's face seemed to have faded a lot. He felt a little more at ease. Mr. Yun will definitely survive this winter like before! + +"Datou, please take me outside for a look. I want to see the snow scene." + +"Sir, it's snowing outside now. It's very cold, let's just stay in the house, okay?" Luo Datou said kindly, hoping that Mr. Yun would change his mind. + +"Big head, please carry me out. I just want to see what snowflakes look like.

In Luo Datou's memory, his husband was like a god, but how could a god be so weak? + +Luo Datou wiped his eyes. He didn't object anymore. He seemed to have expected something. He got dressed in silence, put another quilt on Mr. Yun, put on a fur hat and scarf for Mr. Yun, and stuffed two more Tangbaozi under the quilt. + +Niu Erniu opened her lips, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything, but her eyes turned red involuntarily. She wiped her eyes with her apron behind her back, then turned around and returned to normal. + +Luo Datou hugged Mr. Yun with both hands and placed him on the wicker chair. With luck, he carried the whole wicker chair and Mr. Yun out. Niu Erniu followed behind and held an umbrella to protect him from the wind. + +Luo Datou carried Mr. Yun to the back garden.

He only wished that the north wind would blow harder. + +"Da Tou, Er Niu, you two have been with me through thick and thin for so many years. Sir, thank you here!" Mr. Yun seemed to be in much better spirits, and his voice became louder. + +"Sir, it's our duty to accompany you. Datou's life was given by him. Why do you say that?" Luo Datou choked. + +Mr. Yun smiled and continued: "Butou, you know my HSBC and Citibank passwords. If I am no longer here, you can take out the money and use it for whatever you want, whether you spend it yourself or give it to others. Anyway, you stole the money." + +Without waiting for Luo Datou to answer, Mr. Yun continued: "As well as those things in our basement, I estimate that in a year or two, someone will take care of those four people. When you see that the political situation is stable, you can donate those things to the country. For the sake of those things, you and Erniu will live in peace." + +"Sir, please stop talking. I will follow you, sir. Wherever you go, sir, Datou will go too! Sir, don't even think about leaving me alone." + +Luo Datou was lying on the armrest of the wicker chair, sobbing like a child. Niu Erniu couldn't help wiping her tears, but she wiped them more and more. + +"Nonsense, why are you following me? I've been annoyed by you all my life. Don't bother me again in the next life." + +But Luo Datou was so sad that he ignored what Mr. Yun said and kept crying. Mr. Yun stretched out his bony hand and gently stroked Luo Datou's bald head, "Datou, be obedient. Sir, I hope you and Erniu will live well and make up for the days that Mr. Yun didn't live enough. Datou, you promise me!" + +Da Tou wanted to object, but he had always obeyed Mr. Yun's words and had never objected to him. He agreed without knowing it. Mr. Yun smiled happily. Da Tou would always do what he promised himself, so he could go with peace of mind. + +Mr. Yun only felt that the snowflakes in the sky were becoming more and more blurry.

The boy closed his eyes and shed tears from the corners of his eyes. When he woke up the next day, he rowed for three days and three nights to find his sister's body. After burying her, the boy left the home where he had lived for fifteen years. From then on, there was a moody and unpredictable Yun Pobi in the world. + +"Datou, Nannan is here to pick me up.

Judging from the posture of the two men, he was afraid that there would be a fuss. + +"Auntie, daddy is carrying you home. If your grandparents know that you are coming home today, they will be extremely happy." + +Tian Sisi looked at her increasingly rounded figure and was worried that Tian Manyin couldn't carry it on her back. She had gained a lot of weight during the summer vacation. + +Tian Manyin carried her daughter on her back without a care and walked home easily, greeting the villagers along the way. + +"Oh, grandma is finally back. If she doesn't come back, your father will see through her eyes." + +"As soon as my precious daughter comes back, Man Yin will look several years younger!" + +"My grandma is getting more and more beautiful. The water in the big city is better. Look at how well our grandma has been raised. Her face has become a lot rounder." + +"Yes, how about saying Man Xing's good fortune!" + +Tian Manyin always responded with a smile to the villagers' words, his eyes narrowing into slits. + +Naturally, Mrs. Zhao started to think about her again when she returned home. Seeing her granddaughter's round figure, Mrs. Zhao was instantly satisfied. + +"Ah-nan has put on a lot of weight this time when she went out to play. She looks so good now, but she was too thin before. The little girl just needs to put on more weight to look good." + +"Thank you so much for Xue Wen. Otherwise, we wouldn't have thought that grandma's inability to eat was due to malnutrition!" + +Regarding Tian Sisi's body malnutrition, Tian Mantong came back early and talked to Mrs. Zhao and the others. Mrs. Zhao was very upset when she heard it, feeling that she had not thought of this. How irresponsible. + +"Mom, Dad and I bought a lot of things. Let me show them to you." + +Tian Sisi played coquettishly with Mrs. Zhao affectionately, and showed the things she and He Xuewen bought in Beijing one by one. She also showed the photos of her and Tian Xinhua taken in the National Palace Museum, the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace and other places to the family. + +Mrs. Zhao has lived in Beijing for several years. Therefore, I feel very close to the scenery in the photos. I will recite each one when I look at it, and I will say the same sentence over and over again, "Oh, I have been here before. More than ten years have passed, but I didn't expect that it is still the same. It has not changed at all." + +The old man at home was not here. According to Mrs. Zhao, he, Tang Tieshan and Zhang Mingliu went to the back mountain to see if there were any wild animals that had fallen into the trap. During this period, the three old men got a lot of wild animals back through the trap. Therefore, even though Tian Sisi was not here, they were not short of meat. + +Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao was about to arrive. Before the old man entered the house, he heard his angry voice from a distance. + +"Old Zhang, I can't match you in terms of planning, but in terms of hunting skills, you, Zhang Mingliu, are absolutely not as good as my Tian Liujin." + +"Tian Liujin, you are practicing individualism. You just laid a trap. Old Tang and I dug the trap together!" + +The man who spoke spoke authentic Beijing movies, and his voice was a little hoarse, but it was not the kind of dull and unpleasant voice, but the kind of slightly hoarse voice that occurs when the throat is just infected. It was magnetic and very pleasant. + +"Old Zhang, please don't put such a big hat on me. This is not Beijing. No one is practicing ism." + +"Lao Tian, Lao Zhang, I say you two just calm down. You haven't stopped talking since you went up the mountain, just like the old woman selling melons." Tang Tieshan started to act as a peacemaker with a smile. + +Tian Sisi heard it funny. It seemed that the arrival of his old comrades made the old man feel very good and he became more and more like a child. + +"Grandpa, I'm back." + +Tian Sisi made a silent gesture towards the others, while she hid behind the door. When the old man and the others approached the room, she suddenly jumped out and said hello loudly. + +Tian Liujin actually saw the smiling He Xuewen as soon as he entered the door. Seeing that everyone was glancing behind the door, he pretended to be unaware and cooperated with his granddaughter in playing the games he often played when he was a child. + +"Oh, you damn girl, you scared grandpa to death!" The old man pretended to be scared. + +Hahaha! Tian Sisi was so happy that she hugged the old man and acted coquettishly. She had not seen the old man for two months, and she missed him more than she expected. At this moment, she just wanted to hug the old man and make out with him to make up for the two months' absence. + +"Grandpa, I miss you so much. Do you miss me?" + +"I don't think grandpa will come back early? I don't want to. Why do you miss such an annoying spirit like you?" The old man deliberately squeezed his granddaughter, causing Tian Sisi to pull him and twist him several times. + +"Okay, okay, grandpa's eyes are dizzy because of you. A-nan, this is Grandpa Zhang. From now on, your grandpa Zhang will be responsible for teaching you how to play the piano and draw. A-nan, you have to study hard. Once you learn, you will have a good temperament." + +The old man has never understood what temperament is. He just followed Lao Zhang's original words. Lao Zhang said that girls will become more beautiful when they have temperament, but he feels that his granddaughter is already pretty enough. If she has temperament again, she will fly into the sky! + +"Hello, Grandpa Zhang, hello, Grandpa Tang!" + +Tian Sisi straightened her body, called someone politely, and quietly looked at Zhang Mingliu, who Mr. Yun said was only qualified for elementary school students' enlightenment. + +He is tall and thin, with a side-parted head, high cheekbones, and a flat nose. He looks very ordinary, but he has the aura of a tall scholar and a graceful demeanor, which is very obvious especially when standing between the old man and Tang Tieshan. + +Zhang Mingliu was also looking at Tian Sisi, a beautiful, delicate and delicate little girl. This was his first impression of Tian Sisi, and she was indeed quite likable. + +It's just that there are so many beautiful little girls in Beijing. Before Mr. Yun could rest, I don't know how many of them sent their juniors to serve him. Everyone knew Sima Zhao's intentions, but none of them could win Mr. Yun's favor. Unexpectedly, it was Tian Liujin's granddaughter who caught his eye. This was probably determined by fate after a drink and a peck. + +Even without Mr. Yun's instructions, for Liu Jin's sake, he would teach this little girl well and train her to become a top socialite who is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is proficient in English, French, German, Italian and Japanese.

Xu Xiaona is pursuing love, pursuing freedom, and resisting feudal arranged marriage. What a great lady she is!" + +Zhang Mingliu was so angry that the blood vessels on his forehead were about to burst. During the Republic of China in the 1920s and 1930s, Xu Xiaona should be regarded as a goddess in the Chinese literati circle at that time, and her cheating behavior in marriage was also considered by those literati who pursued love as a yearning for freedom and love, and received the support of most literati. + +Especially those male literati, their love for Xu Xiaona is no less than those of today's star-chasers, and they are even more fanatical, and Zhang Mingliu is no exception. Therefore, Tian Sisi insulted the goddess in his mind, so naturally he was furious. + +"Is it okay to hurt others if you pursue freedom? If you want love, you can divorce. Can't you just wait until the divorce and marry her lover Lu Zhimo? Why do you have to make her husband known to the world while still married and make her husband wear such a cuckold? What's more, her husband has not treated her badly. Is Xu Xiaona worthy of her husband by doing this?" + +"That's because love can't be controlled. Xu Xiaona's husband is busy with business every day, and his personality is relatively rigid. Xu Xiaona is a romantic person, so naturally the two of them can't get along." Zhang Mingliu patiently defended the goddess. + +"What's the point of talking about romance when you're hungry? If Xu Xiaona's husband doesn't work hard to earn money, what will Xu Xiaona eat, drink, and wear? She spends her husband's hard-earned money and betrays him. What is this kind of woman but selfish?

Speaking of which, there was no man in that era who didn't appreciate Xu Xiaona, right? + +She was a little impulsive just now. At Zhang Mingliu's age, don't let yourself get angry because of your high blood pressure. The more Tian Sisi thought about it, the more regretful she became. She hurriedly mixed a bowl of honeysuckle soaked in well water. This honeysuckle was made by her after imitating rose water. At this time, honeysuckle is everywhere on the mountain and can be seen everywhere. + +After thinking about it again, Tian Sisi cooked another bowl of noodles with soybean paste herself.

She put the honeysuckle and noodles with soybean paste into the basket, and Tian Sisi carried them back to the classroom. + +Zhang Mingliu was first shocked when Tian Sisi suddenly rushed out of the classroom, and then became furious. He planned to teach Tian Sisi what it means to respect teachers and value education when she comes back! + +After sitting alone for a while, Zhang Mingliu regained his composure and thought carefully about Tian Sisi's words. He was not a headstrong person. As a political commissar, the most important thing was to be able to listen to other people's opinions with an open mind. At this point, he asked himself that he was relatively successful. + +Although he was still angry at Tian Sisi's accusation against Xu Xiaona, he had to admit that Xu Xiaona's behavior at that time was indeed unethical and illegal, and it also caused great harm to her ex-husband, so much so that the outstanding officer lived alone and died young. + +Alas, it can only be said that I met the right person at the wrong time. Who can explain love clearly? Zhang Mingliu smiled and shook his head. + +He was also dizzy today. He actually discussed love with a teenage girl. What does a child know about love and not? It really made me laugh to death! + +Zhang Mingliu got up and planned to find the students back, but the afternoon classes were not finished yet! + +Tian Sisi came in with a smile while carrying a basket, "Grandpa Zhang, I'm sorry! I will never say anything bad about Xu Xiaona again, but don't ask me to learn from her in the future. Let's not mention Xu Xiaona again, okay?" + +Tian Sisi said as she took out the honeysuckle dew and fried noodles in the basket, and the fragrance kept getting into Zhang Mingliu's nose. It made him glance down quietly. The fragrant meat sauce, green cucumber shreds, no matter how fragrant it looks, and the bowl of yellow flower dew. It’s also a pleasure to look at. + +"Grandpa Zhang, are you hungry? Hurry up and eat the honeysuckle dew and noodles with soybean paste. I made this specially for you. Don't be angry again after you eat it!" + +Zhang Mingliu had actually stopped being angry a long time ago. How could he, an old man, argue with a little baby? What's more, he actually likes this little girl Tian Sisi, otherwise he wouldn't have put all his effort into teaching her. + +Alas, he was a little eager for quick success. Zhang Mingliu reflected on his teaching methods and felt regretful. He planned to change it to make teaching more entertaining, at least not to let the little girl have a rebellious mentality. + +"Grandpa Zhang, you eat the noodles first, and then drink the toilet water after eating the noodles. Your whole body will feel very comfortable. My grandfather likes to drink like this. He can drink several bowls a day!" + +Zhang Mingliu looked at the chirping little girl, nodded her head helplessly, lowered his head and ate the noodles.

I didn’t expect that this little girl Sisi was quite talented in making food. However, it seemed that this little girl was also quite talented in other things. Could it be that this little girl was actually a legendary genius? + +Zhang Mingliu, who was still a teacher in essence, felt vaguely excited, but he learned his lesson, kept a calm expression on his face, and still attended class in an orderly manner, only inserting some light-hearted topics into the class from time to time. Throughout the class, Tian Sisi was not as resistant as before. + +Maybe this body's talent is really good. In addition to the foundation she laid in her previous life, even those languages ​​​​are very easy to learn. Within two months, Tian Sisi was able to have simple daily conversations with Zhang Mingliu. + +Just because she has learned so many languages, sometimes she often cross-talks. She obviously wants to say English, but French or German comes out of her mouth, which is very funny. + +Zhang Mingliu is naturally very satisfied with Tian Sisi as his student. If it was purely for the sake of Mr. Yun and the old man before, now he truly regards Tian Sisi as his disciple. + +Also studying with Tian Sisi were Tang Qiubai and Tian Shouhua. Because Tian Shouhua was studying in high school in the town, he only came to consult Zhang Mingliu every weekend. Zhang Mingliu also liked the studious Tian Shouhua very much and gave careful guidance every time. + +Tang Qiubai did have time, but he took classes selectively. He did not take classes such as guzheng and sketching. He only chose Go, English and Japanese, and he helped Tang Tieshan with his work the rest of the time. + +It can also be seen from this that Tang Qiubai is a very purposeful person and never wastes time doing useless work. + +Tian Sisi really doesn't have much interest in Go. It should be said that Tian Sisi is not very interested in activities that require brain use. Zhang Mingliu also discovered this, so he didn't force Tian Sisi to spend more time on Go, as long as he knew how to play. + +Tang Qiubai was very good at Go. Although he started later than Tian Sisi, he quickly caught up with her. From before, Tian Sisi needed the third son to play, but now, Tian Sisi needs him to play the fifth son. The most hateful thing is that she still lost. + +However, Tang Qiubai is not as good as Tian Sisi in terms of language, which also makes Tian Sisi's psychological balance a lot. She is worse than you in Go, but you are worse than me in English and Japanese, two to one, but speaking of it, she is still better! + +Since Tang Qiubai didn't choose other subjects, Tian Sisi didn't have much motivation. She just completed the tasks assigned by Zhang Mingliu every day and didn't want to study more. + +Zhang Mingliu loves and hates Tian Sisi. He obviously has such a good talent, but he is too lazy and refuses to learn more. What a waste of resources! + +When the old man saw the love-hate look on his old friend's face, he was certainly proud of himself. It was rare for him to boast about his old friend.

She must be working too hard in class. Why don't you drop two courses, Lao Zhang?" + +The old man felt sorry for his granddaughter and fought for Tian Sisi's welfare, which earned him a blank stare from his old friends. + +Zhang Mingliu didn't bother to tell the old man.

Mr. Yun said while looking at the photo with a smile. + +"Yes, A'nan said that she is 140cm now, which is several centimeters longer than the first half of the year. Many of her clothes are shorter. A'nan said that she has only worn some clothes once or twice!" + +"Throw it away if it's too short. Let He Xuewen make a new one for her. Don't follow those buttons and shrinking style.

The villagers greeted Mrs. Zhao politely. + +"Mother Tian Da, you heard about it too. Oh, it's so tragic. The cousin of Chunsheng's family has lost a lot of blood and she hasn't woken up yet. Tsk, tsk, what if such a beautiful little girl turns into a fool?" + +"Yes, what a crime! How sad her parents will be if they find out!" + +.. + +The villagers talked about what happened intermittently. When Mrs. Zhao heard that there was something wrong with her belly, she felt a little more relaxed. Next to her, Tian Sisi's heart was raised, cousin? Is it Mo Xiaomi or Zhou Nana? + +Tian Sisi prayed in her heart that it wouldn't be Mo Xiaomi. She still had a good impression of Mo Xiaomi and didn't want her to get hurt. + +There were many people gathered in the yard, including Zhong Boqiang and Tian Bajin, with serious expressions on their faces. The three Tian Chunsheng brothers were all sullen, smoking cigarettes one after another without taking them in, just passing them through their mouths, as if they wanted to spit out all the depression in their hearts. + +There was a shocking puddle of blood on the ground that made people dizzy. The blood stain had turned dark red, and there was a lot of plant ash next to it. Zhou Nana stood blankly not far from the blood stain, her eyes were blank, and no one paid attention to her. + +Zhou Nana was fine. The accident must have happened to Mo Xiaomi. Tian Sisi's heart sank and she whispered to Tian Shouhua, "Brother Shouhua, something happened to Sister Xiaomi." + +Tian Sisi noticed something was wrong with Liu Qiqi next to her. Her face was pale and her hands were cold, "Sister Qiqi, what's wrong with you?" + +"Sisi, does all that blood belong to Sister Xiaomi? I'm afraid, I'm afraid that Sister Xiaomi will... will..." + +Liu Qiqi couldn't go on. She had been pampered since she was a child, and her family would not even let her see her kill a chicken. Now that she suddenly saw something like this, she couldn't stand it for a while. + +"Sister Qiqi, don't be afraid, nothing will happen to sister Xiaomi." Tian Sisi grabbed Liu Qiqi's hand and whispered to comfort her. + +Tian Shouhua's face didn't look good either. He didn't expect that such a big thing would happen to Mo Xiaomi in such a short period of time. He would shed so much blood. How big of a wound would it be? + +"Give in, give in!" + +Tian Pinggui ran in panting, and with him was Tian Mantong. Tian Chunsheng looked happy when he saw Tian Mantong. + +"Man Tong, I'm really troubling you!" + +"Brother Chun Sheng, stop saying polite words and carry the person out quickly. I'm going to the city hospital now." + +"Okay." + +Tian Chunsheng didn't say any more polite words, mainly because he didn't have much to think about. His in-laws' cousin didn't know anyone's affairs. If something happened to him, how could he explain it to his in-laws' aunt? + +Lou Jinfeng and her two sisters-in-law carried Mo Xiaomi out using a door panel. The bleeding on Mo Xiaomi's head had stopped, and she was wrapped up in a cloth by Zhong Shaobai. There were bright red blood marks on the cloth, and her face was pale and pale. She looked like a dead person, without a trace of life. + +How could it be hurt so badly? Tian Sisi covered her mouth to hold back from screaming. Liu Qiqi was also horrified, her teeth chattered up and down, and she held Tian Sisi's hand tightly. + +Tian Shouhua's face became even uglier. He didn't expect that Mo Xiaomi, who was so energetic just now, would now look like this lifeless. What happened? + +Zhong Shaobai came out with the medicine box and told Tian Pinggui: "Keep a close eye on the road and be careful of the wound opening. It took a lot of effort for me to stop this girl's bleeding." + +"I know, I will pay attention to it, thank you, Uncle Shaobai." Tian Pinggui thanked Zhong Shaobai gratefully and got into the car with Tian Pingxiu. After a while, the car sped away.(To be continued.) + +ps: Mo Xiaomi will appear one after another in the future.

Although she felt that she was not wrong, she should not have done anything. Zhou Nana should not have hurt Mo Xiaomi so badly as soon as she returned.

Is there any food at home? I'll eat some more." Tian Mantong walked to the stove to warm himself, but he was frozen to death. + +Tian Sisi hurriedly ran to the kitchen to pick up the rice that Mrs. Zhao had left for her son.

Zhong Liangcai's daughter Zhong Yuying escaped from her marriage, stole the 200 yuan gift money given by her husband, and left quietly. + +Zhong Liangcai betrothed Zhong Yuying to a fool in the town. The fool was seven or eight years older than Zhong Yuying. He was born a fool. According to current sayings, he had cerebral palsy. He could not take care of himself and could not even speak clearly. + +However, this fool's family was well off. The betrothal gift alone amounted to two hundred yuan, and he also had four large items as betrothal gifts. Although the wealth was exciting, many families would rather marry their children to normal people with less favorable conditions than to marry their daughters to such a fool. This is even more uncomfortable than being a widow! + +But Zhong Liang didn't care. It was just a daughter. If he gave up one, there would still be another. With these two hundred yuan and four major items, he didn't have to worry about his son marrying a wife, and he could still earn a hundred yuan. What a bargain. + +Zhong Yuying left home with the help of her sister Zhong Hongying, a soft-hearted girl. At Zhong Yuying's begging, she let Zhong Yuying go on the day she went to town to buy red cloth to make a cotton-padded jacket. At that time, she was less than a month away from getting married. + +But Zhong Hongying didn't know that Zhong Yuying had already stolen the two hundred yuan as a gift. Zhong Liangcai beat Zhong Hongying half to death. He was not worried about not having a bride to go out with, but he felt sorry for the two hundred yuan. + +In the end, of course, 15-year-old Zhong Hongying got married in Zhong Yuying's place. Although the idiot's parents disliked that Zhong Hongying was not as beautiful as Zhong Yuying, Zhong Liangcai was a scoundrel, pretending that he only wanted money and a daughter. The other party couldn't do anything to him either. Thinking that Zhong Hongying was also a pretty young lady, she married Zhong Hongying and went home. + +Tian Sisi heard this from Zhong Meiying. The relationship between Zhong Meiying and her cousin Zhong Hongying was still good, and she shed tears while talking. + +"Sisi. My uncle is so cruel. He just married Sister Hongying to that fool. That fool couldn't even eat and relieve himself. He drooled all the time. A man in his twenties had to sit in front of him. I can't even eat when I see such a person. How can Sister Hongying endure it?" + +Zhong Meiying is already a 14-year-old girl. She usually listens to the dirty talk between women in the village and has a certain understanding of things between men and women. She feels that if she is allowed to live with such a fool, it is better to hit a wall and die in peace. + +Tian Sisi also sympathizes with Zhong Hongying, but she can't help much in this matter. At this time, the marriage of rural girls is still in the hands of their parents, and no one else has anything to say. Even the tribesmen can only make some suggestions on the side and cannot make the final decision. + +What's more, a situation like Zhong Hongying's did not violate the bottom line of the clan. Due to poor family circumstances, it was not uncommon these days to sell their daughters to their sons in exchange for betrothal gifts. There were even cases where their daughters were married off to the dead and left alive as widows. Therefore, the villagers of Yuequan Village only accused Zhong Liangcai and his wife of being cruel behind their backs, and would not say anything more, let alone help Zhong Hongying. + +Therefore, although Zhong Hongying begged the Zhong family on her wedding day, no one stood up for her. Only Zhong Shancai came forward to say a few words, but Zhong Liangcai would not listen to him. He just said "You give me two hundred yuan and pay it back to me" and pushed Zhong Shancai back. + +How could Zhong Shancai get two hundred yuan? Even if he could, he wouldn't be willing to give it out. He still has children of his own! + +In fact, Zhong Liangcai was reluctant to marry Zhong Hongying. He also wanted to stay for two years to work for the family, but it came to a critical point and he had no choice but to give up. + +"Meiying, there is nothing we can do about this. None of us can help Hongying. If we want to blame her, we can only blame her for having a cruel father and sister. I hope she can live a strong life and survive until the end of her life." + +Tian Sisi didn't know what to say. She didn't have any friendship with Zhong Hongying, so she could only hope that this girl could be strong. + +"Yeah, I hope that family can treat Sister Hongying better." Zhong Meiying also knew that there was nothing they could do about this kind of thing, so they just came to Tian Sisi to vent their anger." + +"It's all the fault of that Zhong Yuying. If she wanted to escape from her marriage, she should have escaped, but she even took away the two hundred yuan. She just wanted to harm Sister Hongying, but Sister Hongying helped her escape from the marriage! She is really heartless." + +Zhong Meiying cursed Zhong Yuying a few more words, then got up and went to the back mountain to collect firewood. It was when she went to collect firewood that she passed by the He family and chatted with Tian Sisi. + +Tian Sisi also felt extremely uncomfortable. Originally, she thought she would have no more entanglements with Zhong Yuying in this life, but now it seems that Zhong Yuying is an out-and-out poisonous snake, not only poisonous to outsiders, but also to her own sister. + +How could someone as smart as her not think of the consequences of taking away two hundred yuan? But she still secretly took it away and asked Zhong Hongying to help her escape, leaving Zhong Hongying to bear Zhong Liangcai's wrath alone. + +If she had any conscience, she would not take away the two hundred yuan! What a shady person! + +Tian Sisi had a bad premonition in her heart. She always felt that she still couldn't get rid of Zhong Yuying, a cruel woman in this life. Thinking that one day in the future, she would still be entangled with Zhong Yuying, Tian Sisi couldn't be happy. + +Soon she no longer thought about this woman. No one knew what the future would bring. Besides, she had seen Zhong Yuying's true face clearly in this life, and there were so many people supporting her. If she lost to Zhong Yuying again, she would really be beaten to death. + +Huh, if you are blocked by soldiers, you will be flooded by soil and floods, right? Zhong Yuying, that's all if you just stay safe. If you dare to provoke me, I will definitely let you taste my power! + +Tian Sisi walked to the piano room and played "General's Order". In fact, she originally wanted to play "A Laugh in the Sea" and felt that this could express the overwhelming pride in her heart. + +It's just that "A Laugh in the Sea" wasn't released until 1990. She was really embarrassed to steal Huang Zhan's hard work. Besides, Zhang Mingliu knew how much she weighed, so she had better not attract suspicion. + +A song "General's Order" made Tian Sisi play with murderous spirit, and it reached the ears of Zhang Mingliu and others who were chatting in the living room.

However, Tian Aiguo is taller and stronger. In addition, he has experienced the baptism of blood and gunfire, so he naturally exudes a fierce aura. + +"Uncle Three, Mother Three. Happy New Year!" Tian Sisi and Tian Xinhua said hello to Tian Aiguo and Xu Qianwen together. + +"Happy New Year, A-nan and Xinhua are now grown-ups and juniors. If they go out on the street, my third uncle won't be able to recognize them." + +Tian Aiguo also knew what his parents were planning. When he saw the two jade-like figures in front of him, he couldn't help but marvel in his heart. They were truly a match made in heaven! + +It was the first time that He Xuewen met Tian Aiguo. He walked up and greeted with a smile. Of course Tian Aiguo knew who He Xuewen was and also knew about He Xuewen's energy. See me now. He couldn't help but be impressed by He Xuewen's charm, and the smile on his face became more sincere. + +"Brother Xuewen, I have admired your name for a long time, and now I see you. You are indeed a talented person!" + +"No, no. I have admired Brother Tian for a long time! It's true that the father of a tiger has no son!" + +"Haha. Let's stop flattering each other and sit down to eat. You are the only one left!" + +Tian Aiguo hurriedly asked He Xuewen and the others to sit down and eat. Tian Xinhua wanted to go home, but the old man stopped him and told him to eat here before going back. Tian Bajin must have left no food at such a late hour. + +Mrs. Zhao and Zhu Aiqing had already gone to the kitchen to take out the food and put it on the two tables. Xu Qianwen was sitting there and did not come forward to help. + +There were two stoves in the room, and Tian Sisi couldn't stand wearing the big cotton-padded jacket. She took off the big red cotton-padded jacket, hung it on the hanger, and only wore the pink velvet sweater underneath. + +This big red cotton-padded jacket was specially made for her by Niu Erniu. It was made of satin that she had collected for many years. It was very smooth. According to her, only Gege could wear this satin before! + +Niu Erniu's hands are very skillful, and the coat is made to fit very well, with a small stand-up collar and a little nipped in at the waist. The dress does not look bulky at all and is very flattering to the figure. Even Mr. Yun praised Tian Sisi's dewy clothes for looking good. + +"Grandma, we'd better put on a thin coat. Wear it like this to avoid catching a cold." Tian Xinhua said next to her, insisting that she put on another piece of clothing. + +Mrs. Zhao and Zhu Aiqing also asked her to get dressed. Zhu Aiqing said even funnier, "I'm so cute that I screamed in love. You're so cute already!" + +Tian Sisi rolled her eyes. Zhu Aiqing was really similar to her mother Zhong Juying in her previous life. Even the words she sometimes spoke were exactly the same, word for word. Sometimes she couldn't help but wonder if Zhu Aiqing was Zhong Juying's previous life! + +Tian Sisi glared at Tian Xinhua, and had to run to the second floor to put on a thin coat. Tian Lili saw her coming down, snorted softly, and gave her a big white eye. + +Tian Sisi didn't bother to pay attention to her. She and Tian Sisi were enemies in the previous life. It would be strange if Tian Lili gave her a good look one day! + +Tian Aiguo's eldest son Tian Zhonghua did not come back this year. Tian Aiguo said that Zhonghua went to Lanzhou last spring to serve as a soldier. Under Tian Guanghua's hand, Tian Guanghua has now been promoted to company commander. Tian Chaohua is also in Lanzhou. He is from the same military region as Tian Guanghua, but not in the same regiment. Now he has been promoted to platoon leader, and his future is very good. + +Tian Chaohua and Tian Guanghua still haven't come back for the Chinese New Year this year. Since they joined the army, they have never been home during the Spring Festival. The Tian family has long been used to it. + +The dinner was very rich, including chicken, fish, rabbit, meat, etc., and two tables were set up. Xu Qianwen looked at the sumptuous dishes on the table and felt unhappy at all. The reception banquet they came back yesterday was not so sumptuous. The old lady was too partial! + +"Ah-nan, I have to thank Grandma Nong very much. Grandma Nong worked hard from morning to night and worked so hard to prepare so many dishes. Tsk-tsk, my mother really feels sorry for Grandma!" + +Xu Qianwen couldn't help it anymore. She treated a picked-up girl like a treasure, but her own granddaughter was treated like a piece of grass. How could this make sense? I'm really getting dizzy. + +Tian Sisi sighed. Ever since what happened to Zhou Nana, she now gets a headache every time she hears "Nong, Alas", but now she is in front of her third aunt, an elder. Even if she doesn't like her, she can't scold her like she did with Zhou Nana! + +"Mother Sam, I am your precious granddaughter. Isn't it right for your Majesty to love me? Besides, I also love your Majesty very much. I give her a pat on the back every day, isn't that right?" + +Tian Sisi acted coquettishly at Mrs. Zhao, and Mrs. Zhao glared at Xu Qianwen and responded happily: "Yes, Grandma is my darling. No matter how many dishes I cook, I will not be tired. Okay, eat well and don't talk nonsense!" + +Mrs. Zhao looked specifically at what Xu Qianwen said and emphasized her tone. Xu Qianwen felt bitter in her heart, feeling as if the delicious dishes on the table were laughing at her. + +Humph, you biased old woman! Xu Qian's cultural resentment was the driving force, and she quickly snatched the two chicken drumsticks in the basin, one for her daughter and one for her son Tian Weihua. Tian Lili was very happy and started chewing happily, while Tian Weihua smiled awkwardly and gave the chicken drumsticks in the bowl to the youngest Tian Zhenhua. + +Mrs. Zhao then smiled happily. Her grandson was good, and it was the character of the old Tian family, but her granddaughter was raised crookedly by her eldest daughter-in-law. Hey, he was still a teacher. His own daughter couldn't teach, and he was as shallow-sighted as her. How could she like her?(To be continued.) \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/09/eng_cont/i_0215.txt b/09/eng_cont/i_0215.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..1bea8c5c02ca2638d0f68bc18a036d8fce2ebbe5 --- /dev/null +++ b/09/eng_cont/i_0215.txt @@ -0,0 +1,77 @@ +Chapter 215 Alas. + +Tian Sisi didn't get up until the sun went up the next day. She had been taking trains these days and heard a lot of "bang" sounds. She always felt a "bang" sound ringing in her ears when she was lying in bed last night, and she didn't fall asleep until late at night. + +After getting up, she did not go back to Tian's house first. The Tian's room was given to Tian Lili to sleep, and she went back to the princess room of He's house to sleep. Tian Sisi went to the kitchen to boil some hot water, carried it to the bathroom, sprinkled some water on the ground, and then carried the bucket into the space. The space was neither cold nor hot, and there were shower gel and shampoo, which was much more convenient than washing outside. + +In the courtyard of the He family, Zhang Mingliu and Tang Tieshan were weeding the flower beds, while Tang Qiubai was washing clothes. In this life, Tang Qiubai was indeed a good comrade, diligent, filial, generous, and capable. He could go to the hall and the kitchen, and he was considered a model man. However, Tian Sisi was still indifferent to him and was only polite on the surface. + +"Grandpa Zhang, Grandpa Tang, Brother Tang, good morning!" + +"Grandma, get up, go and have breakfast, your mother-in-law has left it for you!" Tang Tieshan laughed loudly. + +"Then I'm going to have breakfast, bye!" + +Tian Sisi walked quickly towards Tian's house. In the yard of Tian's house, she could hear the playfulness of Zhenhua and Tsinghua University. As soon as Tian Sisi walked into the yard, Xu Qianwen's bitter voice drifted over. + +"Oh, grandma is finally up! Are you here for snacks (lunch)?" + +Xu Qianwen was wearing a green Zhu Aiqing jacket and Mrs. Zhao's apron, and was cleaning the door with a rag. When she saw Tian Sisi, she became sarcastic. + +Tian Sisi touched her nose, what happened to Xu Qianwen today? So angry so early in the morning? Tian Sisi doesn't know. Mrs. Zhao got up early this morning and arranged for her two daughters-in-law to work. Xu Qianwen dusted the house (general cleaning), and Zhu Aiqing folded fruits with her. + +In the past, Mrs. Zhao and Zhu Aiqing did all the dusting work. This year, she deliberately asked Xu Qianwen to do it. Who makes this woman idle all day long and talk nonsense all day long? + +No, Xu Qianwen had nowhere to vent her resentment, so Tian Sisi bumped into her and was ridiculed by Xu Qianwen. + +Tian Sisi didn't bother to pay attention to her and went into the kitchen to have breakfast. In the kitchen, Mrs. Zhao and Zhu Aiqing were folding fruits. There are already dense rows of green fruits on the basket. The Qingming grass picked last year was boiled with water and soaked in lime water. It will still be green during the Spring Festival. + +People in Suicheng use this method to preserve Qingming grass. But then I got a refrigerator. Everyone wrapped the cooked Qingming grass in fresh-keeping bags and tied them tightly. It can be stored in the freezer for several months. + +"Mother, what's wrong with Sister San? It's not going well so early in the morning." Tian Sisi took out the hot vegetable rice cake from the pot and started to eat it. I asked Mrs. Zhao while eating. + +"Don't talk to her. Let her do some work. It's not just her nose or her eyes. Huh, Mom Donghua, you don't have to do the vegetables and dishes these days. I will arrange for your sister-in-law to do it." + +Among the three daughters-in-law, Mrs. Zhao was the only one who disliked the eldest daughter-in-law. Because of this, she often complained in front of the old man that her eldest son had secretly decided to marry such a mean woman. Therefore, she did not like Tian Lili, who was born to Xu Qianwen. + +The main reason is that Tian Lili and Xu Qianwen look too much alike, and they also have a mean look on their faces. Of course, this is what Mrs. Zhao said. In fact, both Xu Qianwen and Tian Lili have oval-seed faces, which are quite beautiful. + +Zhu Aiqing smiled and said nothing. She should stay away from the battle between her mother-in-law and sister-in-law and not participate in either party. + +Tian Sisi smiled and suddenly felt relieved. Your Majesty is so awesome. You avenged her so quickly. Humph, even if you tell me, I don’t even need to take action. Someone will take care of you for me! + +After breakfast, Tian Sisi helped fold the fruit, but was stopped by Mrs. Zhao, "Go, go, your mother and I are enough here. You go outside to play, you don't need to work as a child." + +Tian Sisi smiled and kissed Mrs. Zhao on the face and went upstairs. She wanted to change into a pair of cloth shoes. The He family only had leather shoes, so cloth shoes were more comfortable at home. + +Tian Lili was not upstairs, and the quilt on the bed was unfolded and wrinkled like dried pickles. The closet was also in a mess. Her neatly folded clothes were all messed up, and she acted like a thief. + +Alas, Tian Sisi sighed. Since Tian Lili and her daughter came back, the number of times she sighed has doubled. If this continues, she will definitely suffer from depression. + +Tian Sisi folded the clothes again and left the bed alone. After all, she had to clean the bed once Tian Lili left. In addition, she put some of her favorite clothes into the space, and took down a few more clothes. She also took down the doll on the bed. This was the first doll that her father bought her, and she was not willing to let Tian Lili touch it. + +When I came down, I went to the kitchen and told Mrs. Zhao, Zhu Aiqing, that she had to put these clothes at He's house. Otherwise, when Tian Lili and the others returned home, she would not have many of these beautiful clothes left. She had learned a bloody lesson in the past. + +Xu Qianwen was cleaning the table and cabinets in the living room. When she saw Tian Sisi holding so many clothes and a big doll, she became angry again. She went to Lili's room last night and had a look. She didn't expect that this grandma had so many beautiful clothes and shoes, and even a big doll. She was raising a princess! If Xu Qianwen knew that these were only half of Tian Sisi's clothes and shoes, I'm afraid she would be even more angry! + +My own granddaughter, Lili, is not treated so well. Why should she, a picked-up orphan, live like a princess? Therefore, the anger that Xu Qianwen had been holding in towards Tian Sisi since last night suddenly broke out. + +"Auntie, what do you mean by taking away these clothes and dolls? Are you treating Lili like a thief?" + +Xu Qianwen simply put down the rag in her hand and stopped in front of Tian Sisi, as if she was not allowed to leave until she made it clear. + +Tian Sisi sighed again, suppressed the anger in her heart, and whispered softly: "Sister Sam, you misunderstood. Didn't I give up my room to sister Lili? It's not convenient for me to come back and change clothes every day, so I had to bring a few clothes to change." + +"Oh, it's Sister San who misunderstood Anan, but don't bring the doll with you. Sister Nong Lili is very happy with this doll. She can't sleep without holding the doll!" + +Tian Lili fell in love with this doll when she saw it last night. She had to ask Xu Qianwen to come over and take the doll home. That's why Xu Qianwen said this. In her opinion, the old man and the old woman must have bought this doll. Huh, isn't the old man and the old woman's money the Tian family's money? Where can the Tian family's money be used if it is not used on their direct granddaughter? + +"I'm sorry, Sister Sam, this doll is a gift from my father. I can't give it to anyone else. If Sister Lili likes dolls, Sister Sam can buy one for Sister Lili. I think Sister Lili will be very happy." + +Xu Qianwen was speechless. She also wanted to buy it, but this kind of high-end doll was only available in overseas Chinese stores. You had to use foreign exchange coupons or overseas remittance cards to buy it. Moreover, this kind of doll was not cheap. It cost at least dozens of yuan. How could she be willing to buy it? + +Mrs. Zhao came out and asked majestically: "Has Mother Zhonghua dusted her off?" + +"It's still a little short, but it'll be over soon!" Xu Qianwen was still very obedient in front of Mrs. Zhao. There was nothing she could do about it. If she dared to disobey, her husband Tian Aiguo would definitely get into trouble with her immediately. She didn't have the guts to make Tian Aiguo angry. + +Tian Sisi smiled and made a face at Mrs. Zhao, turned around and went to He's house.(To be continued.) \ No newline at end of file
