Chapter 5: Grandma Tang
In the past few days, I worked in the forest farm during the day and moved bricks for two hours in the evening, although it was a little harder, but when the school started, it should be enough to gather ten yuan.
"Hua Lian, I have inquired about the high school tuition, I can pay half of it first, and the rest is owed, so that when the wages of my forest farm are paid, it will be enough for the tuition, and the money earned from moving bricks can allow us to survive these few months." ”
"Zhengde, thank you. Zhang Hualian said gratefully, except for the word 'thank you', I really don't know what to say.
Zhang Hualian has been married into the Tang family for thirteen years, and Tang Zhengde treats her really well.
"We are one family, we don't speak two words. Tang Zhengde thought for a while, and said: "Don't take what my mother said, don't take it to heart, I will definitely provide Xiaoyue with such good grades, it would be a waste not to study." ”
"Hmm. Zhang Hualian nodded, if she really wanted her not to let Tang Yue study, she couldn't do it.
"Zhengde, I'm sorry for you, doing so many things every day. Zhang Hualian always felt ashamed of Tang Zhengde, and she didn't know how many lifetimes she had cultivated before marrying Tang Zhengde.
"She is also my daughter, or will you compensate me?" Tang Zhengde turned over and pressed Zhang Hualian down, in the dark, Zhang Hualian was embarrassed, biting her lip, for fear that others would hear the movement.
In the early morning, the birds were chirping, and Tang Yue dragged Tang Jun, who had not yet woken up, to start running around the village.
From the initial resistance, the Tang army was unable to resist at all.
Fortunately, the place where they live is not concentrated, so they run around and see not many people.
"Tang Yue, can't you let me sleep more?" Tang Jun couldn't open his eyes, and ran behind Tang Yue, in the past month, in addition to the formula is to memorize texts, as well as papers and practice words, he hasn't gone out to play for a long time!
"Go to sleep, Dad won't let you study at that time, I don't care. Tang Yue said while running, even after running for several days, Tang Yue still felt out of breath.
Tang Jun followed angrily.
After recuperating for a month, Tang Yue's body was completely well.
During the day, Tang Yue, you hurry up and give Tang Jun a make-up lesson, and at night, save the cost of electric lights, except for eating, at other times, just sit in the courtyard to enjoy the shade.
Under the starry night sky, in the courtyard of the Tang family, the sound of reading was mixed with the sound of Tang Yue correcting mistakes from time to time.
Tang Zhengde sat in the rocking chair, tired from the day, lying on the rocking chair and snoring.
Zhang Hualian was busy in the kitchen.

"What, Zhengde doesn't let Xiaojun go to junior high school?" Grandma Tang listened to her grandson Tang Xian's words, and suddenly burst out of anger.
Putting down the dishes and chopsticks, Grandma Tang didn't even have time to eat dinner, so she went to the next door angrily, as soon as she entered the yard, she pointed at Zhang Hualian and scolded: "Zhang Hualian, you shameless, why are you embarrassed to encourage Zhengde not to let Xiaojun go to junior high school, so that your daughter can go to high school!"
"Our Tang family treats you well, how can you be ruthless to do such a thing!"
"Pity my little army, this father has become a stepfather. ”
Grandma Tang cried and complained, if it weren't for Tang Zhengde's block, she was afraid that Grandma Tang's slap would be thrown on Zhang Hualian's face.
"Mom, you think too much, who doesn't let Xiaojun study, I didn't say that Xiaojun won't study. Tang Zhengde hurriedly explained.
"What's wrong with Xiaojun lately, he doesn't go anywhere every day, just does his homework at home?"
Grandma Tang asked rhetorically.
"Mom, don't I just want Xiaojun to make up for his homework?" Tang Zhengde glared at his nephew Xiaoxian behind him.
Aunt Tang Wang Aihua instantly hid her son behind her, and she said: "Uncle Xiaoxian, this is not what Xiaoxian said nonsense, it was Xiaojun who said it to Xiaoxian himself, Xiaojun, you said, did your father say that if you don't have good grades, you won't be allowed to read it?"
"Yes. Tang Jun nodded.
Grandma Tang trembled angrily, and with a slap, she exhaled towards Tang Zhengde and said, "Okay, you Tang Zhengde, your own son doesn't go to school, but instead raises a daughter for someone else, and lets that dead girl go to school, do you have such a father?"
"Mom. Tang Zhengde was helpless, and Grandma Tang didn't listen to the words explained.
Tang Jun saw this situation and saw that he was about to fight, so he hurriedly explained: "Milk, my grades have improved a lot now, and my father said that he would let me study." ”
"Really?" Grandma Tang didn't quite believe it.
Tang Jun nodded affirmatively: "It really can't be true." ”
"That's pretty much it. Grandma Tang knew that he could read, so she was a lot more relieved, she glanced at Tang Yue coldly and said: "A girl, what do you do with reading so many books, it's better to get married early." ”
Tang Yue pursed her lips and stood aside, not saying a word.
Zhang Hualian was afraid that her daughter and her mother-in-law would have a conflict, and just as she was about to speak, Tang Zhengde preemptively said: "Mom, Xiaoyue's grades are so good, even the teacher said that she is a good seedling, and it would be a pity not to study." ”
"Good seedlings are not biological. Grandma Tang muttered angrily.
Tang Yue said solemnly: "I will treat him as my father, and I will honor my father in the future." ”
"After raising you for fourteen years, I will finally call you Dad?" Grandma Tang didn't put Tang Yue's words in her ears at all, but she just felt that this Dad, it was strange, Tang Yue didn't have a good face for Tang Zhengde over the years.
Grandma Tang, who is a mother, sees it in her eyes and is anxious in her heart, but Tang Zhengde, her son, is dedicated to protecting Zhang Hualian's mother and daughter, and she can't have a child.
Not to mention that Tang Yue's appendix was inflamed this time, it cost more than 40 yuan before and after, and Grandma Tang didn't like Tang Yue even more.
"Grandma, I used to be wrong. Tang Yue admitted her mistake, her feelings for Grandma Tang's feelings were complicated.
From childhood to adulthood, Grandma Tang scolded her for being a dead girl or something, it was commonplace, even if she saw her during the New Year's holiday, she didn't take the kind of thing that looked at her squarely.
But if something really happens to her, Grandma Tang will not stand idly by.
Take this incident as an example, she quietly asked her mother, and Grandma Tang also took out twenty yuan, for which Uncle Tang was still angry with Grandma Tang.
Grandma Tang: That's a typical knife-mouthed tofu heart.
"The sun is coming out in the west?" Grandma Tang raised her eyebrows and looked at Tang Yue, since she went home to the hospital, she hadn't taken a good look at her, she was obviously alone, but she had lost her previous anger, tied to a ponytail, looked very energetic, and her eyes seemed to be able to speak.
"Mom, don't look at Xiao Yue like this, Xiao Yue will be embarrassed. Tang Zhengde cleared his throat, and the place on his face that had been beaten by Grandma Tang was hot and painful.
"Hmph, just you protect her. ”
Grandma Tang patted the clothes on her body and said, "Since it's not true, I'll go home for dinner, and I won't have enough to eat." ”
