…………
Xia Zhi and Tian determined the identity of the begging woman's family, and it was indeed Tian's second sister, Xia Zhi heard Grandma Zhuzhu say when she went to the mountain Tun'er a while ago, her name should be Tian Daidi, and she was sold by Tian Old Man to a passing merchant.
The old man who came with Tian Daidi should be the merchant of the year, and he should be fifty or sixty years old this year, but it seems that some people believe it when he is seventy years old. And Tian Daidi is only nine years older than Tian, but if the two stand together, they are more like mother and daughter than sisters.
Over the years, Tian Daidi's family must have had a hard time.
Xia Zhi thought so in his heart, so he went to the East House. When I walked to the hall, I met Layue coming from the backyard. Layue brought a pot of washed pears and gave it to Tian Daidi's family to eat.
Because Tian was two steps behind, Layue took the opportunity to come to Xia Zhi's ear and ask Xia Zhi if it was Tian's sister who was begging for food. Xia Zhi glanced back at Tian and nodded lightly at Layue.
"My grandmother and my mother are looking for old clothes. Sister, then I'll go back and help first. Layue handed the pears to Xia Solstice and ran away in a hurry.
Xia Zhi knew that Layue must have gone back to report the news, so he didn't stop her.
In the east house, Tian Daidi's family had already eaten, and they were rushing to clean up with the eldest girl and the second girl. Xia Zhi put the pears on the kang table and beckoned Tian Daidi's family to come over and eat.
When it warmed up, there was food in the stomach again, and the faces of Tian Daidi's family looked much better, as if the person who was about to die was relieved again. When they saw that Xia Zhi brought pears to them to eat, they waved their hands and said that they were full and refused to eat any more.
Fruit is a rarity for farmers who don't have fruit trees, and they hardly spend money to buy fruit to eat.
"This is what my third aunt sent to you to eat. My third aunt's family has fruit trees. Eat it. Xia Zhi said this, and stuffed a pear into the little girl's hand, and then stuffed another one into Tian Daidi. "Second aunt, it's all home, what are you polite about. ”
Tian Daidi was stunned for a moment, and a pair of eyes involuntarily looked at Tian.
The expression on Tian's face was a little complicated: "This girl is fine...... Or I'll have to tell her. ”
Tian Daidi was a little at a loss: "I, we ......"
"Second aunt, you sit and talk. Didn't your family suffer a disaster, then you should go back to the north. Relatives and friends are all here, so don't go here. When you arrive at our house, you don't dare to say anything else, there is always a bite to eat for you. ”
Xia Zhi's words were open and clear, and they hit Tian Daidi's heart.
Tian Daidi didn't hesitate or be embarrassed, and burst into tears on the spot: "...... I didn't have the face to come back, and I didn't have the face to come here. But I can't bear to watch my family starve to death......"
If it weren't for the last resort, Tian Daidi's family would not have traveled thousands of miles back to Beizhen Mansion. You must know that it is not easy to beg for food along the way, and there are many people like them who did not survive, but died on the road.
“…… It's more or less a way to live, even if you can't live all of them, it's better to live one or two than to starve to death for the big guys......"
Tian Daidi cried and told Xia Zhi that the village where she and the merchant were located was almost empty, either dead or fleeing. The merchant originally had brothers and elders, but they all disappeared one after another in the famine in the past few years. Tian Daidi's youngest son did not escape the catastrophe.
“…… My tears dried up, I couldn't see anything for a while, and now I can't see things as well as I used to......"
It was the death of her youngest son that made Tian Daidi make the decision to go back to Beizhen Mansion.
"My mother and son are here, and we can't watch us starve to death. We are not wasted people, we still have a lot of strength, and we don't eat in vain......"
At this time, Layue, Sun Lan'er, Sun Xiu'er, May, July and Guo Yuhuan sent old clothes.
"My mother and our grandmother just found out, our grandmother said to make do with it first, and then she will look for ......" Layue said to Xia Zhi.
Xia Zhi's gaze gently swept over May's face, and then he persuaded Tian Daidi not to cry. "Second aunt, don't cry, you'll be crying again. Xia Zhiji took the clothes and asked Tian Daidi to change them first.
The clothes they brought over included Old Man Xia, Old Lady Xia, and Uncle Xia and Aunt Xia San's cotton clothes and outer shirts. From summer to this year, she sold cotton and left a lot for her family, so the big guys made new cotton clothes, and Mrs. Xia found out the old ones and sent them to Tian Daidi's family to wear.
Tian Daidi's family was grateful, and they almost didn't know what to say. Although the clothes sent were old clothes, they were clean and tidy, with few patches, and you could feel that the cotton inside was real cotton.
Xia Zhi vacated the East House and asked Tian Daidi's family to change their clothes first, and she and the girls brought the little girl to the West House.
Without using the summer solstice, the girls helped the little girl change her clothes and talked with the little girl at the same time.
The little girl was fifteen or sixteen years old, and although she was a little thinner, she still couldn't wear the clothes of the summer solstice and the wax moon. She could have worn May's clothes, but now May's clothes are not available for her. So everyone changed the little girl's clothes for Aunt Xia.
Aunt Xia San's body is not high, and her clothes can barely be worn by a little girl, but they are big and do not fit.
"I'll go home and find a set, I made it two years ago, and now I can't wear it, and Xiao Nier should wear it just right. Sun Xiu'er said to Xia Zhi and ran home to get her clothes.
Now they already know that the little girl's name is Qian Nier, and the second aunt of the Tian family is surnamed Qian, and her name is Qian Gui. Qian Nier's two elder brothers, the eldest is twenty-two years old this year, his name is Da Lang, and the twenty-seven years old is called Erlang.
Before Da Lang, the second aunt of the Tian family also gave birth, but she didn't stand down. This kind of thing is very common in this era, not to mention the lack of medical care and medicine in poor families, and the poor environment is inevitable, even rich and noble families.
The girls gathered around Channier and asked long and short questions. Mrs. Xia, Mr. Xia and others only sent things, but they didn't come, even if they knew that the person who came was Tian's second sister's family, they didn't come.
It's not that they're holding it up.
Xia Zhi understood Mrs. Xia's thoughts. Mrs. Xia knew Tian very well. Tian's personality is strong, and she must not want people to see her second sister's family so down-and-out. Although Mrs. Xia was enthusiastic, she knew that if she came, the Tian family would definitely be uncomfortable, and if she didn't get it, she would have to treat her as if she was here to see the joke.
This is Mrs. Xia's carefulness and thoughtfulness.
Sun Xiu'er came back quickly, she not only brought a set of her own cotton clothes, but also brought two sets of old cotton clothes from Sun Si'er and his family.
This time, Tian Daidi's family not only changed into cotton clothes, but also had a surplus.
After Tian Daidi's family had changed their clothes and freshened up again, everyone sat down to talk again. The enthusiasm of Xia Zhi and the people of the Xia family made Tian Daidi's family open their hearts, and Xia Zhi could say whatever he asked.
Xia Zhi only then knew that before Tian Daidi's family came to Daxingzhuang, they had already been to the backing mountain Tun'er.
Tian Daidi brought her family to Beizhen Mansion, and originally planned to go to her mother's family. Xia Zhi nodded secretly in his heart, when Tian Daidi was sold to the money merchant, the Tian family was not married. There has been no news for all these years, and Tian Daidi doesn't know where Tian married and how he is doing.
Moreover, Tian Daidi's first thought was to defect to her father, which is also human nature.
However, Tian Daidi traveled thousands of miles to her mother's house, but when she arrived at the backer, it was not the warm embrace of her biological father and mother who greeted her. They didn't even go into the house, let alone inside the house, they didn't even go into Old Man Tian's yard.
“…… It just so happened that his grandfather was standing at the door and didn't know what to see. It's been a few years, and his grandfather hasn't changed his appearance, if he hadn't recognized his grandfather, I wouldn't have dared to recognize that door. The big tiled house, such a high courtyard wall, really thoughtful, really magnificent......"
Xia Zhi pursed his lips and smiled, listening to Tian Daidi continue to speak.
“…… I went to kowtow to his grandfather, but his grandfather didn't recognize me at first, and he banged me, saying that we didn't have anything to eat, and asked us to leave quickly, don't bring bad luck to his family. I called my father, saying that I was a child, my family had suffered a disaster, and his grandson was starving to death......"
Tian Daidi cried at the door of the old man Tian. She knelt there, and the money merchant and the three children knelt behind her. After thousands of miles, they escaped to the backing mountain Tun'er, and when they arrived at the door of the old man Tian, they saw the well-dressed old man Tian, and saw the tiled house and yard of the old man Tian's house, they all felt that they could not die this time, and they could live. Therefore, they cried at the door of Old Man Tian at that time.
They cry, on the one hand, because their relatives recognize each other, and on the other hand, they feel that they can live.
When they cried, they alarmed the rest of the Tian family. Tian Wang's family, Tian family's uncle, Tian family's aunt's mother, Jiang's family, and Tian Dabao all came out to see what was going on.
Tian Daidi was even more excited when she saw her mother, as well as her younger brother, and now her sons are the oldest.
When the child sees his mother, the mood and scene can be imagined.
However, Old Man Tian and Tian Wang did not give them a corresponding response. Old man Tian knew that Tian Daidi's family had suffered a famine, was penniless, and had come to beg for food all the way, so he kept a cold face and didn't speak.
Tian Daidi and Qian Shanglang shouted that he shouldn't be, and the three children called their grandfather, and he even turned his head over, not looking at his three grandsons at all.
In this way, no one let them into the courtyard or into the house.
The Tian family's aunt Jiang and Tian Dabao didn't know Tian Daidi at all, and the Tian family's uncle said that he couldn't recognize Tian Daidi at all.
In the end, it was Tian Wang's who spoke.
Tian Wang's number fell to Tian Daidi.
“…… said that the girl who married the door of the door, spilled the water in the basin, and did not drag the family back to her parents' house to wait for her mother and brother to feed, saying that I was ashamed and shameless. also said that she fed me in vain, and didn't expect anything from me, and when she was old, I would come back to gnaw her old bones,...... Calling me a debt collector ......"
"Back then, I set a young man to work, a daughter-in-law for my brother, and sold me for a bride price, but I didn't say a word. It's not that I really don't have a way to live, and I won't go to them. I also said that we don't eat in vain, we have a place to settle down first, and we will find our own way to live. We can do anything, we can do anything......"
"It's all my waste, I'm a waste. Qian Lang couldn't help but interject at this time, and then lowered his head.
He was silent, and he didn't say a few words in total after arriving here, I don't know if it was because of his original temperament, or because he was tempered like this by the years, maybe because he followed the wife he bought back to his parents' house to make a living, so he knew that he had no room to speak.
"He didn't do it like this, he was a hard ...... life" Tian Daidi glanced at his man and sighed.
Then the topic returned to Old Man Tian and Tian Wang's family.
Tian Wang's family scolded Tian Daidi bitterly, and he didn't recognize the money merchant and a few children at all, so he asked Tian Daidi to get out of here, not to stop at the door of her house, and bring bad luck to her family.
Tian Wang's family repeatedly scolded Tian Daidi for being a debt collector and was eager to drive her away.
“…… It seems that Dabao's daughter-in-law is going to enter the door......"
Old man Tian is ready to marry Tian Dabao to the girl of the Yue family? Then he must not want the people of the Yue family to see that he still has such a daughter and son-in-law.
“…… I didn't eat a mouthful of food, I didn't drink a mouthful of water. I really can't help it, who else are we in this world except my father and mother. They closed the door, and I knelt outside with my men and children, wondering if they could relent......"
On a winter night, especially in the mountains, it was bitterly cold. If you just kneel all night, the good people will have to kneel badly, not to mention these people.
“…… In the middle of the night, listening to the wolf crying in the mountains, our family cried. I know that even if we kneel and die outside, his grandmother and his grandfather can't be soft-hearted. It's nothing if I'm dead, and I can't bear my children......"
Tian Daidi's family is like this, Old Man Tian and Tian Wang's family can bear it, but there are those who can't.
It was Grandma Zhuzhu who called Tian Daidi's family up, gave them some food, and then pointed out the road to Daxingzhuang to them.
“…… Life is good, Lao Xia's family is good......"
The good life is still secondary, mainly because Lao Xia's family is good-hearted, which is what Grandma Zhuzhu told Tian Daidi. Old man Tian's family is also living a good life now, but he refuses to even let his own daughter's family stay.
“…… The fifth aunt mentioned the three children of Xia Zhi to me, saying that they are all good children, with good hearts and understanding ...... things, "It turns out that Tian Daidi already knows about Xia Zhi, Xia Qiao and Xiaoshu'er from Grandma Zhuzhu.
After receiving the food and help of Grandma Zhuzhu, Tian Daidi's family did not continue to stay in the backing mountain, but immediately rushed to Daxingzhuang.
Along the way, they didn't have anything to beg for, because they knew that the Xia family was a decent family, and because they knew that the Tian family was married to a showman. Although they can't dress up decently, they want to try not to let too many people know that they are asking for food, for fear of smearing Tian's face.
When they arrived at Daxingzhuang, they found Tian after being pointed out.
Tian didn't recognize her at first, but later she told a lot of things when she was a child, including Old Man Tian and Tian Wang, who didn't know at that time, and only their sisters knew about it.
Only then did Tian know that it was her.
