After the meal was cooked, Tian Tian also set up the dishes and chopsticks, and even helped everyone scoop up the rice and serve the soup.

Since then, she has rushed to do all the housework.

One of the things she always says is: "No, no, I'll come." You're tired of working hard out there!"

Seeing that Tian Tian was so sensible and caring, he made their family embarrassed.

It is said that "people's hearts are made of flesh", and this sentence is indeed true.

Slowly, this family began to accept Tian Tian.

Of course, I won't be staring at her twenty-four hours a day like a thief. Even, for the first time, Tian Tian was given a special benefit, that is, he could go out to the toilet to relieve himself.

Therefore, Tian Tianyi was so happy.

Perhaps, out of curiosity, perhaps, by habit. Tian Tian found that aunts and aunts would come to visit the house from time to time. However, as soon as everyone enters the door, they will look themselves up and down, and then, they will talk to each other and smile.

Although they spoke dialects they didn't understand, from their eyes and from their tone of conversation and laughter, the smart and keen Tian Tian understood that those people were judging themselves.

So, it spread ten to hundred, and soon, the people in the village said that Mao Zhu Yanfu was not shallow, and he actually married a wife as beautiful as Lin Daiyu, and he was also very hardworking and virtuous.

Tian Tian, who has always been high-minded, doesn't want to pay attention to these women in his heart, because those people are obviously not at the same level as himself, have no culture, no common words, and are too lazy to waste his tongue.

Besides, Tian Tian doesn't like to talk about others in the east and west, and similarly, he doesn't like to be talked about by others. However, the mouth grows on other people's bodies, and I can't control it myself.

However, Mao Zhu seems to be in a good mood, and there is always a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Summer is the busy agricultural season of double robbery, and it is the busiest season of the year for farmers.

As a result, Tian Tian will also take the initiative to help pick peanuts and pull soybean leaves. She even helps with peanuts and bean clips.

In addition, the wet rice is also spread out with a rake to dry. In the evening, she helped to harvest the paddies.

Therefore, seeing that Tian Tian was so diligent and enthusiastic, the family was not easy to stop, so they had to acquiesce to her permission to go out.

At noon that day, the sun was scorching the earth like fire, and Tian Tian had just raked all the rice grains and sat under the slightly shady eaves peeling pods.

At this time, a middle-aged woman wearing a straw hat and beating her bare feet and slightly chubby walked over with a smile on her face, and greeted her: "Sister, peel beans?"

Hey, this person speaks Mandarin! She speaks Mandarin? This is the first woman to speak Mandarin.

Tian Tian couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Hmm. Calling it a day?"

She looked up and replied with a look at the woman.

"yes, call it a day. Oh, it's hot today! The water in the rice field can boil eggs," the woman said, picking up a chair from the side and sitting down next to Tian Tian, and then, without saying a word, peeled the beans from Tian Tian's dustpan.

"Huh, is it so hot?"

"Isn't it?"

"It's hard work!"

"Sister, you look so good!" the woman said with emotion while looking at Tian Tian carefully.

Tian Tian smiled a little shyly and was silent. In fact, she has long been accustomed to similar compliments.

"Are you still used to it?"

Hearing this, Tian Tian looked up at the other party in a complicated mood, but with a long sigh, he lowered his head and continued to peel the beans.

The woman seemed to see Tian Tian's thoughts, and also sighed: "Alas, sister, it's okay." You'll get used to it slowly. ”

Tian Tian smiled helplessly.

"Girl, I especially understand your current mood. Because, thirty years ago, I was also abducted and trafficked into this poor ravine. ”

"Huh?"

Tian Tian raised his head in disbelief, dumbfounded.

"Yes. Sister, don't be so surprised! Actually, there are many girls like us here, and I know more than a dozen. Some of these people are from Guizhou, Guangxi, Sichuan, Hunan······ Target. ”

She continued to talk.

"Huh?

Tian Tian was stunned.

"You saw it too. It's poor and inaccessible. Because, almost all the women here marry outside, so people who don't have money can't marry their wives for a long time. However, the more closed the place, the more serious the feudal mentality, therefore, in order to pass on the lineage, they have to marry wives no matter what, so the phenomenon of buying wives is particularly common. ”

"That's right. You're just going to stay here honestly?"

Tian Tian couldn't help but wonder.

"What do you say?" she said with a wry smile, "I must have been unwilling at first, but you think about how we are willing to live with an old bachelor at our age? However, he couldn't run far before he was caught by them. Then he was beaten badly and beaten with a flat pole. You know? I shudder when I think about it. ”

"Huh, it must hurt, right?"

Tian Tian asked dumbfounded.

"It hurts, it doesn't hurt! It's good not to die. If there is a blue and purple body, there is no good skin. I had a swollen and sore butt for three months before I could barely sit, and I didn't even dare to touch it before!"

Tian Tian's eyes widened, and his expression instantly became solemn. Oops, do you still have a chance to escape?

"You are so strong, I really admire you!"

Tian Tian sighed sincerely.

"Alas, what can be done? We have to resign ourselves to fate. However, I was fine, and later, as long as I didn't run away, they didn't particularly bother me. However, that Sichuan girl was not so lucky. Oops, it's miserable!. Do you know? The Sichuan girl ran three times without success, and in the end, her feet were broken, and she is still locked with a two-meter-long iron chain. I can move, but I can't go far. ”

"Why don't you report it?"

"Who will report it to you? They are all neighbors who have lived here for generations, who would dare to be this traitor that everyone hates?"

"When did this happen?"

"Half a month ago. By the way, I heard that the woman is still a graduate of a key university! She is in her twenties, fair-skinned and beautiful. ”

After hearing this, Tian Tian couldn't help but fall into a deep silence, and his back was cold.

"But, then again, girl, your family is okay. He is very kind, diligent and enthusiastic, but he is a little poor. However, in this village, they are not the poorest, they are considered in the middle. Besides, haven't we women ever lived with any man? Really, I've figured it out now. Marry a chicken with a chicken and marry a dog with a dog. Anyway, you will be poor for a lifetime, you will be rich for a lifetime, you will like it for a lifetime, and you will hate it for a lifetime. Don't think about running away, and then you will be the one who suffers. ”

"Eldest sister, then, how many years have you been deceived here?"

"Ten years and twenty-eight days. ”

"So long, you didn't want to go back?"

"Yes, of course. However, I am uneducated and don't know how to ride in a car. Besides, after having children, you have to take care of them again, and you are reluctant to leave them. ”

"How many children do you have?"

"Four. Three women and one man. ”

She replied with a particularly proud smile.

"Uh. ”

Okay, it's not too early, and I'm going to get my money back for lunch. ”

With that, the woman got up and left.

Looking at her back, Tian Tian's mood was extremely heavy. I don't know why, she began to feel restless, and she didn't have the heart to peel beans at all.

I saw that she stared into the distance with her cheeks propped up.

What to do? What to do?

However, I still have so many dreams that have not been realized! Do I really have to be trapped in this poor ravine for the rest of my life?

No, no, no!

If so, then your life will be over!

Why don't you take advantage of the fact that no one is here to get away now?

Thinking of this, Tian Tian's heart hid a deer-like fluttering and jumping. She put the dustpan with the pods, put the beans in the bowl, and was about to escape from the high stone threshold, when she looked up and saw Mao Zhu and the others carrying heavy rice back one after another.

So, the escape plan was aborted. Tian Tian had no choice but to pour out the rice, spread it out, and dry it.

Then, as usual, Tian Tian went to the spring well to fetch water, and then went to the vegetable garden next to him to pick vegetables and make lunch.

The weather in summer is like a baby's face. No, Tian Tian and they had just eaten half of their meal, and there were dark clouds and strong winds outside. I had no choice but to rush outside, and everyone put away the rice with all hands and feet.

The rain crackled on the ground and the people who were busy collecting things, and the air was filled with the smell of dust.

In a hurry, there were still people whose rice had not been harvested, so they could only cover it with a piece of film and press it with stones.

After the lightning that spewed tongues of fire, there was a deafening rumbling thunder, the rain became heavier and heavier, the wind blew more and more fiercely, and in a short time, the sunning became a turbulent river.

When it rains, the chickens will automatically take shelter from the eaves, and the clever birds will know to fly back to their nests built on the beams.

Tian Tian stared intently at the bird's nest on the ceiling, and the birds chirped non-stop, poking their heads out of the nest from time to time. I counted a total of five birds, two large and three small. Probably one, right?

Look, what a happy family!

The summer rain really comes and goes quickly, a veritable "storm".

More than half an hour later, the rain stopped.

So, Mao Zhu and the others went out to work with their tools.

After the heavy rain, the floor seemed to have been washed, and the air was exceptionally fresh, which was simply refreshing, and Tian Tian was instantly intoxicated, and she couldn't help but take a long breath.

Seeing that everyone was busy in the fields one after another, Tian Tian ignited the desire to run away again.

So, with her memory, she tiptoed to the entrance of the village, fortunately, the roadside was full of nearly two meters of thick miscanthus grass, which is a natural barrier.

When he turned the corner, Tian Tian began to run hard like an arrow off the string. In order to race against time, although she was already out of breath, she was not willing to stop for a moment.
