The street they are walking on now is the most central and largest street in Gushan Tun'er, and Old Man Tian does not live on this street. After walking the street, the www.biquge.info crossed a dirt road, and then went north, there was a street next to the field, and on the south side of the street was a courtyard close together, which was the street where the old man's house was located.
The street stretches all the way to the foot of the hill. Old man Tian lived in the last house at the end of the street, next to the foot of the mountain. Such a location is not good, but as soon as the carriage walks up this street, you can see that Old Man Tian's house is definitely the best house on this street.
Thinking about the houses on both sides of the street she just passed, Xia Zhi felt that her grandmother's house was not only the best house on this street, it should almost be the best house in Gushantun'er.
Surrounded by mountains on three sides, there are very few fields, and many people live by planting fruit trees on the mountains, and their lives are very difficult and poor. Because of the lack of land, there are no big landlords in the backing mountains, and the richest families only have a few acres of water to irrigate. Although this place is cheap, it is relatively famous, and it is one of the poorest villages within a radius of 100 miles.
Tian Wang, his daughter-in-law Jiang, and his two granddaughters, Daya and Erya, were already standing at the gate of the courtyard to greet the guests.
Xia Zhi sat on the outside, so as soon as the car stopped, she jumped out of the car with her hands and feet. Then, Xiao Shu'er also jumped down.
Tian Wang's clan immediately greeted him, but deliberately avoided Xia Zhi, and then hugged the little tree behind Xia Zhi, and screamed heartily.
Xiao Shu'er called out to her grandmother, her face a little uncomfortable. Since he was no longer coaxed by Tian's little favor and Xiaohui, Xiao Shu'er understood that his grandmother Tian Wang didn't really care for him. So being hugged by Tian Wang's family like this, he was a little uncomfortable.
But Xiao Shu'er is a very scheming baby, and he didn't show his thoughts too much, so Tian Wang's family naturally didn't find anything unusual.
"The little tree has grown taller again, this kid ......" Tian Wang said with a sharp voice, and he didn't look at Xia Zhi.
Xia Zhi didn't care either, and just took this opportunity to look around.
The courtyard in front of him is not as good as the old house in the backyard of the Xia family, and because it is built according to the terrain, it is not square, but compared to the courtyard surrounded by branches and hedges, the courtyard wall of the old man Tian's house is made of regular stones, and it is higher than the courtyard wall of other people's houses.
Just looking at the courtyard wall, there are at least middle-class people living in the village, not as poor as Tian said, and they need relief everywhere, if the Xia Zhi family doesn't help them, they will drink the northwest wind and can't live.
When Xia Zhi looked around, Xia Xiucai had already helped Tian Shi get out of the carriage and met with Tian Wang's family. Tian called his mother affectionately, and Xia Xiucai also called his mother-in-law.
Tian Wang's eyebrows smiled and responded: "Hey, hey, daughter, son-in-law, they're all here." It's good that they're all here, it's good. A pair of old eyes that were a little dim crossed Tian and Xia Xiucai, and saw the car behind the two.
Xia Qiao got down from the wheel on the other side of the carriage, came over and respectfully called Tian Wang's grandmother. Tian Wang agreed with a sigh, and also said that Xia Qiao had grown taller.
She seems to have a poor language, or she doesn't have anything else to say to her grandchildren, but she grows taller and taller in one sentence. Anyway, boys of Xia Qiao and Xiao Shu'er are always jumping up in size before they become adults, and this sentence is not wrong at any time.
"Mother, why did you come out. None of them are outsiders, you just wait in the house. Look at this big sun, you can get a lot of sun. Tian stood opposite Tian Wang and said affectionately. Her demeanor and tone were very affectionate, but she did not have any physical contact with Tian Wang's family.
"No sun, no sun. In the past two days, I have estimated that you are coming, and I have been waiting outside all day, and I can be regarded as looking forward to you. When he said this, Tian Wang's eyes were still glancing at the car behind.
Xia Zhi's family got out of the carriage, but the things they brought were still in the car.
Tian Wang's family couldn't wait for Xia Xiucai to talk to Tian's family: "Just come from afar, what else do you bring?" As he spoke, he beckoned his daughter-in-law Jiang and two granddaughters behind him to hurry over and get something.
Xia Qiao was very polite, saying that he didn't need to do it with his aunt and cousins, and he beckoned Xia Zhi and Xiao Shu'er to come over and get things with him.
However, Jiang had already walked over briskly with his two daughters. She greeted Tian and Xia Xiucai, and immediately walked to the car to get something. She was tall and long-legged, and she stood under the carriage, and with her hand she could hold all the packages and baskets in her hands.
The mother and daughter were very proactive and even a little anxious to take things. Xia Zhi had just carried a basket in his hand, and he was snatched by the Jiang family. said that she snatched it, because although Jiang had a smile on his face, he moved very quickly and hard, as if he was afraid that Xia Zhi would not give her the basket.
Xia Zhi let go of his hand and looked at the Jiang family inexplicably.
Jiang Shi pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, "Give it to your aunt and your sisters." Summer solstice, you have come all the way here, how can you still let you work. ”
Saying this, the Jiang family took the eldest girl and the second girl to take a full handful of things, and the things that Xiao Shu'er wanted to take were also snatched away by them, and in the end, only Xia Qiao carried a basket in Xia Zhi's family, and there was the burden under Tian's armpit.
There was also a hiccup during this period. Jiang took all the things in the car in his own hands and was about to go to the yard to get them, but was stopped by the old crutch. It turned out that the Jiang family not only took the things brought by Xia Zhi's family, but also rolled up the mattress that the old crutch had laid in the car for the guests to sit on, and planned to take it to the courtyard.
was stopped by the old crutch, and Jiang's face was a little sneering. She shook off the mattress with a little force, only saying that she had accidentally taken it by mistake.
Lao Guan didn't say anything, and the matter passed like this. Xia Zhi looked at Jiang twice. It stands to reason that every time Tian comes, he takes the old crutch car, and the mattress for the guests on the old crutch car, Jiang doesn't know it. But she knew it, but she still wanted to take it to the yard, which was a little interesting.
Everything was moved from the car, and Lao Guan came over to talk to Tian and Xia Xiucai, and asked him when he would pick him up tomorrow.
"Come later, it's the day after tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, I'll let my daughter and aunt stay at home for a few more days." Tian Wang said in a sharp voice.
"Mother, your aunt still has to go to Fucheng, I really don't have time." Tian smiled, and then told Lao Gui that he should come to Gushantun'er to pick up people before noon tomorrow.
Lao Guan agreed, drove away.
The carriage left, and Tian Wangcai led Tian's, Xia Xiucai, and Xia Zhi's family to the courtyard. During this meeting, Xia Zhi found that his aunt Jiang and his two cousins, Daya and Erya, were gone.
When she got to the upper room, she found that the mother and daughter had moved their things into the upper room first.
The front and back yards of Old Man Tian's house are very spacious, and the five main houses are all blue brick houses, which are very magnificent, and they look very new, and they should not be more than ten years old.
In such an environment as a backing mountain, the Tian family's house can be said to be very conspicuous and stand out from the crowd. Xia Zhi felt that maybe the sentence that there was no landlord in the mountain was not right. Look at the style of the Tian family, if there is a landlord in the backing mountain, then there is no one else in the Tian family in front of him.
Tian Wang's family led Xia Zhi's family into the landlord's house. The five upper rooms of the Tian family are arranged in the same way as the Xia family.
Old man Tian's house looks magnificent from the outside, and the house is also very good. In the room on both sides, there is a whole large kang near the window, there are some tables, chairs and benches on the ground, and the cabinets against the wall are also full, and there are some bottles and mirrors on the cabinets, which are very decent.
Old man Tian didn't go out to greet his daughter and his aunt's family, he was sitting cross-legged on the kang with his shoes on, smoking dry cigarettes. Uncle Tian was lying on the kang next to him, and he didn't know if he was asleep or what, there was another person next to Old Man Tian, who was Tian Dabao, the stupid grandson of Old Man Tian.
Seeing that Xia Xiucai and Tian entered the house, Old Man Tian still didn't move on the kang. When Tian entered the house, his body was not as stretched as he was outside. She led Xia Xiucai to walk quickly to Old Man Tian's kang in small steps, and then respectfully saluted Old Man Tian.
"Dad, we're here to see you grow old." Tian's voice speaking in front of Old Man Tian was also an octave lower.
Old man Tian seemed to know that Tian and Xia Xiucai were coming, he slowly raised his eyelids and glanced at Tian and Xia Xiucai, and a smile appeared on his thin face. As he said that you are coming, he made a gesture to go down to the ground.
Tian hurriedly stretched out his hand and stopped Old Man Tian. Xia Xiucai also said with a smile that Old Man Tian is not polite, he is an elder, they are all juniors, let Old Man Tian sit down.
Old man Tian sighed, it seemed that the Di Tian clan and Xia Xiucai's actions were more satisfied. Then, his eyes fell on the eldest son next to him.
"Don't get up yet, your sister and brother-in-law are here." Old man Tian screamed loudly, and knocked Uncle Tian on the ass with a dry tobacco stick.
Uncle Tian moved slightly and opened his sleepy eyes. Looks like he really fell asleep just now. Uncle Tian woke up, but he still didn't understand the situation until he saw Tian and Xia Xiucai.
"Sister and brother-in-law have arrived!" Uncle Tian then turned over and got up, "I went to the entrance of the village early in the morning to wait for you, I didn't wait for a long time, and I fell asleep after coming back to rest for a while." ”
"When you're tired, go back to sleep. Your sister and brother-in-law are not outsiders, so they can still pick this reason with you. You're there to welcome them, too. Tian Wang walked over from the side and looked at Uncle Tian and smiled.
"What are you sleeping, shouldn't you have a good talk to his sister and brother-in-law!" Old man Tian glanced at Tian Wang's family, as if he was blaming her for doting on her son.
"Yes, get up and talk to your sister and brother-in-law. Your sister and brother-in-law are here, so you don't have to worry. Tian Wang immediately grinned, revealing his scarlet gums. (To be continued.) )
