Chapter 32 discusses family affairs
"I said you two are such a big person, I don't know how to come back sooner to help. Although Grandma Tian was not as mean to her two daughters as she was to her granddaughters, she still had some opinions about the two of them coming so late.
"Oh, you don't know how fast you can travel in this weather. Tian Wenli said disappreciatively.
"Grandma, I'm dying of hunger, let's eat first. Wu Guoan, the youngest, saw that his grandmother's face was not good, and he stepped forward to be coquettish.
"Oh, my little grandson is hungry, I'll ask your cousin to serve dinner now, and we'll start eating immediately." Grandma Tian pinched Wu Guoan's little face affectionately, and she didn't care that the two families came so late.
However, the honest Chen Haiming said hello and sat on the side of the kang with an embarrassed face, while the little uncle Wu Weijun held his identity and said hello to the old man indifferently, and also sat on the side of the kang without squeaking.
Although many famous teachers have been defeated over the years, although Wu Weijun is conceited, he can be regarded as a clever group of survivors in the teaching team, so he has always sat firmly in the position of a teacher and has never been reported.
"Yo, why did Xiuyun stay at home today?" Aunt Tian followed up in the kitchen to help serve the dishes, and when she saw the busy Tian Xiuyun, a calculating light flashed in her eyes.
"Auntie, Happy New Year. Tian Xiuyun raised her head and said hello, and continued to get busy.
"Tsk, Xiuyun is also a big girl. Aunt Tian didn't care, and turned her head to Grandma Tian and sighed.
"No, it's 16 years old. Grandma Tian didn't think much about it.
"Didn't anyone come to propose?" Aunt Tian continued.
"Why not, but there is still a Xiufen above, and it is not her turn yet. Grandma Tian pouted, it is really not a worry-free thing to have many granddaughters in the family.
"Hey, what's this, it's not a sister. Aunt Tian didn't think there was anything, thinking of the daughter-in-law of the village chief of Shiwa who she met before going out, and she also felt that if she could be the eldest son of Tian Xiuyun and the village chief's family, it would only be good for their family to be in Shiwa.
"What's the matter, why are you so concerned?" Grandma Tian immediately alerted, the marriage arrangements of these granddaughters of the Tian family were all for her grandson.
"Mother, come here, I'll tell you. Aunt Tian pulled Grandma Tian out of the kitchen, stood in the corner and whispered about the situation of their village chief's house, and also said what the village chief's daughter-in-law meant.
Tian Xiuyun, who was busy, also heard clearly through her spiritual sense, and knew that it was Aunt Tian who wanted to be a matchmaker for her and introduced her to the eldest son of the village chief's family who had a broken leg. But knowing that this had never happened in her previous life, or that she didn't do it without knowing it, she didn't take it to heart.
After listening to the ins and outs, Grandma Tian frowned, "Since this is the case, it is better to introduce Xiufen to your eldest brother's family, Xiufen is also 17, and she will be able to get the certificate in another year." ”
"Xiufen's long one can be compared with Xiuyun, otherwise I wouldn't dare to think about it. "Aunt Tian doesn't look down on Xiufen of the eldest brother's family at all, whether it is appearance or figure, the gap between the two is very large, she also expects Xiuyun to control the eldest son of the village chief with his appearance, and he can spend more benefits in the future, if he changes to Xiufen, he may not be what it will be.
"What's the matter, you still dislike your niece, this matter is done, either let Xiufen marry her, or don't mention it. Grandma Tian made the final decision, she still didn't know the gap between the two, just because she knew, so Grandma Tian had other plans in her heart. With Tian Xiulian's current appearance, no one in the village can compare, and if she raises it for another two years, the bride price is not just what their old Tian family wants.
"Mother~" Aunt Tian still doesn't want to give up.
"Alright, go pack the food, hurry up and eat, you have to hurry back while it's dark. "The custom in the backing village is not to leave the daughter and son-in-law who go back to their parents' house for the night on the second day of junior high school, so after lunch, they have to go back after chatting.
Aunt Tian was unwilling, but she also knew her mother's character, and she said nothing, and the old man never cared about this kind of marriage.
When lunch was set, the younger generation sat at another table, the adults sat at a table, and Tian Xiuyun sat next to her cousin Wu Jing.
"Cousin Xiuyun, why are you still wearing last year's clothes?Didn't the third aunt make you new clothes?" Wu Jing proudly tugged at the new clothes on her body and deliberately looked at Tian Xiuyun's old clothes and asked.
"Cut, you can be willing to tear the cloth for her as the third aunt. Chen Li said disdainfully, although her mother didn't see how good it was to her, but Chen Haiming didn't have the idea of patriarchy, although because the family had no money to let her study, but she could wear a new dress during the New Year, even if it was not a new padded jacket, it was also a new smock.
"Cousin Xiuyun, you are so pitiful, not only do you have no new clothes to wear, but you can't go to school. Wu Jing continued to say with a sympathetic expression.
Wu Jing's words made Chen Li, who also had never been to school, look ugly, and suddenly snorted, raised her chopsticks and poked the dishes in the bowl fiercely.
Tian Xiuyun didn't plan to deal with these two cousins during the whole process, but concentrated on eating, anyway, they left in the afternoon, so why bother with them. Looking at the other cousins, they were all concentrating on picking meat and vegetables, and no one paid attention to these.
To put it mildly, I only see someone once or twice a year, they are not acquaintances, and they don't have to pretend to greet adults like adults, not to mention that these two cousins have never had a good attitude towards her, and they will take the initiative to talk to her, just to show off that they are better than themselves.
Wu Jing saw that neither of them spoke, and she didn't care, anyway, she just wanted to show off, so she let go after a while, and specially picked up the meat in the vegetables to eat. Although their family lives in the town and their father is a teacher, they don't have many opportunities to eat meat.
She knew in her heart that she could go to school, and it was also because the cousin of the uncle's family was also studying, and her mother couldn't get used to the eldest aunt, so she also enrolled her in school. And this premise is that she must be better than her cousin every time she has a good score, so that she can continue to read, so that her mother has the capital to show off in front of her eldest aunt.
After lunch, Grandma Tian took Aunt Tian and Aunt Tian into the room to talk privately, and Grandpa Tian rarely sat in the hall with his two sons-in-law to talk about things outside.
Tian Xiuyun looked at the situation and knew that there was nothing to do with her in a short period of time, so she was ready to go out and play with the three old men.
Regardless of Wu Jing, who had been staring at Tian Xiuyun, she followed Tian Xiuyun closely, making her very helpless.
"Why have you been following me?" Tian Xiuyun turned to Wu Jing and asked.
"There's nothing to do, I'm going to leave in a while, and I don't want to stay at home. Wu Jing said softly, "Cousin, don't you want me to follow you?" ”
"Let's go. Tian Xiuyun took a deep breath, she didn't want to make this cousin anxious, and she would sue her again when she went back, although she was not afraid now, but she didn't want to be unhappy during the New Year.
Because someone was following, Tian Xiuyun didn't plan to go to the house, but just thought that since the other party wanted to follow, she would wander around the village for a while, and they would leave after a while anyway.
"Xiuyun, why are you here?" Seeing Tian Xiuyun and another girl walking together from a distance, Han Yingxue stepped forward curiously and asked, she thought that in the whole village, Tian Xiuyun was just a friend of hers.
"Take my cousin around the village. Tian Xiuyun replied.
"Let's go together, then. Knowing that it was the other party's cousin, Han Yingxue nodded and said hello, so she made a request together.
"Hmm. Tian Xiuyun didn't care about one more person, she was just hanging out anyway.
"Hello sister, are you a friend of your cousin?" Wu Jing saw a woman who was much older than them, looking curious about the baby.
"Yes, my name is Han Yingxue, you can call me Sister Yingxue, I am an educated youth here. Han Yingxue smiled, and her tone was gentle.
"Oh, it turns out that my sister is a knowledgeable youth, no wonder I'm still here during the Chinese New Year, I thought I was going back to my parents' house. When Wu Jing heard that it was Tian Xiuyun's friend, she immediately didn't like it very much, and she said naïve and ugly things in her mouth.
"~" Han Yingxue was stunned, she didn't expect this delicate little girl to speak so ugly, she looked like she was married.
Tian Xiuyun secretly rolled her eyes, knowing that this cousin would not be so well-behaved, and she had always been polite to her cousin, let alone her friend.
