Tian Limai listened to her sister Tian Liyu's words, stood up and looked at her sister, and said: "Sister, just because our family background is different from other people's families, kind people sympathize with us, and vicious people laugh at us, as long as my sister and I are not decadent, we will change when the time comes!"

"Brother, Dad must tell you about his daughter-in-law, what should you do?" Sister Tian Liyu saw that Tian Limai stood still, and also stood up and asked.

"Sister, I don't know what to do? If the single family agrees, then most of the matter will be done, and Dad won't let me go too far!" Tian Limai said.

After Tian Limai finished speaking, he looked sad.

When my sister Tian Limai saw it, she suddenly smiled and said, "Brother, it's not good for you to have a daughter-in-law?!" After waiting for my mother and me, it will be easy!"

Tian Limai saw that her sister Tian Liyu smiled, and her heart was mixed, but she thought that it would be good to make her sister Tian Liyu smile, so she pretended to be a little angry and said: "You and your mother are relaxed, how can I live or die?" ”

When her younger sister Tian Liyu saw her brother pretending to be angry, she immediately jumped up happily and trotted forward, shouting as she ran: "Oh——, oh——, I have a sister-in-law!"

Tian Limai also pretended to chase and quarrel: "Sister, dad doesn't care about my brother's life or death, you don't care, do you still like you?" ”

On the rugged mountain road from Ertaiping to Shangsitai, Tian Limai and his sister Tian Liyu laughed all the way, and the crisp and pleasant "Gege" laughter of her sister Tian Liyu echoed in the valley of Houya Mountain......

When it was almost dark in the afternoon, Tian Limai and his sister Tian Liyu returned to their home in Shangsitai, and there was still only one mother Yang Meizhen in the family, and his father Tian Hezhuang had not returned!

As soon as the two brothers and sisters entered the house, their mother Yang Meizhen asked, "Mai'er, Yu'er, when did your Uncle Wang Jiayu promise to come and kill the New Year's pig for us?" ”

"Mom, it's tomorrow morning, Uncle Wang Yu said let's boil the water early, he came early, when we went to his house, there were already two people in his family who were also inviting him, and tomorrow Uncle Wang Yu will kill the pigs of the three families!" Tian Limai replied.

"Well, I see, Mai'er, are you and your sister tired? Tired to rest for a while, my sister at home to help me, we also have to dry some fried rice seeds, the first month of the guest into the house to drink a bowl of sweet wine, sweet wine to put on the line! Mai'er, what about you, go to the house of grandpa, grandma, uncle and second uncle, and invite them to come over tomorrow to eat 'soup'!" Mother Yang Meizhen said.

"Mom, we're not tired!" Tian Limai and his sister Tian Liyu said almost at the same time.

Mother Yang Meizhen smiled!

Tian Limai came out of the house and went directly to the eldest uncle's Tian Muzhuang's house, and his grandfather and grandmother lived with the uncle's family.

Houya Mountain is named because there are five and the cliff is thick, there is one on the top of the mountain, there are nine families living on the top four, the Tian family accounts for three, and the other five households are also separated by two surnames, the Luo family has three households, and the Wei family has two households. In the 80s of the last century, when the responsibility field was given to every family, the three families on the fourth platform were also a villager group with the people on the top of Houya Mountain, that is, on the fifth platform, and later after there were nine households, they became an independent villager group!

Uncle Tian Muzhuang's house is not far away, Tian Limai didn't walk for a few minutes to the house of Uncle Tian Muzhuang, grandfather, grandmother and Uncle Tian Muzhuang are all at home, in addition to grandfather and grandmother, there are four people in the family, namely Uncle Tian Muzhuang, Uncle Niang, and two brothers, both brothers went out to work after graduating from junior high school, the two brothers said that they were working but never sent money back to the family, let alone bought anything, and sometimes they didn't even go home for the New Year!

Grandpa and grandma welcomed Tian Limai into the house, and Tian Limai hurriedly said: "Grandpa, grandma, uncle, aunt, tomorrow morning, Uncle Wang Yu from Ertaiping will come to kill the New Year's pig for our family, Dad and Mom asked me to come over and invite you to eat 'soup' tomorrow, and please ask the uncle to help catch the pig, please ask the uncle to help!"

At this time, the eldest aunt came out from the back room with a scoop of spades and said: "Tian Limai, the walnut tree is poor this year, there are not a few spades, come, take a few home and taste fresh with your sister Tian Liyu!"

Tian Limai didn't refuse, he wanted to find something to pack, at this time grandma saw it and quickly walked into her and grandpa's room, and after a while, grandma walked out with a plastic bag: "Sun baby, I still have a bag of cone chestnuts here, which I picked up under the cone chestnut tree on the side of the mountain when I and your grandfather were fine, this is only eaten by your fine baby, and no one likes us when we are old!"

The grandfather standing next to him saw it, frowned and said: "You old right guest, what's so good about that cone chestnut, last time Tian Muzhuang rushed to buy apples, it's almost the same as giving one or two to each of his four masters?!" Give that cone chestnut, you can still get it!"

"Grandpa, no, I'll take the cone chestnut, the apple was bought by the uncle for you and grandma, we can't ask for it, it should be bought by us as juniors to honor you, but I'm still studying, grandpa, when my book is read, I'll buy it for you and grandma, oh, and uncle, uncle!" Tian Limai hurriedly said.

Tian Limai said whatever he thought in front of his grandfather, grandmother, uncle and aunt, and he didn't feel embarrassed to say the above words, but if it was another elder, Tian Limai would never be able to say it.

Tian Limai's few words made grandpa, grandma and the uncle next to him, the love in the heart of the aunt grew like something, grandma and the aunt couldn't help but rub their eyes with their sleeves when they heard it, grandma quickly handed the plastic bag containing the cone chestnut to grandpa and then walked into the room, and the eldest aunt put the chisel and put it into her and Uncle Tian Muzhuang's room.

Tian Limai looked at his grandfather and uncle in confusion!

Grandpa and uncle did not look at Tian Limai, but each looked at the door of their own room, and after a while, grandma and aunt came out of their respective rooms, grandma carried a bamboo basket in her hand, and the bamboo basket contained a basket of apples, grandma wiped her eyes with her hands and said: "Sun baby, grandpa and grandma know that you are at home, we are also old, and we can't find it, take these apples back and let your father and your mother eat two!"

As soon as the grandmother finished speaking, the eldest uncle carried a plastic bag and said: "Tian Limai, there are no good things in the uncle and the uncle's mother's house, there are two catties of sunflower seeds, you take it home, your mother is not in good health, she didn't plant, just don't have a little more!"

Tian Limai was a little at a loss, and in the face of what his relatives gave, he didn't take it, let alone if he didn't take it!

When Grandpa saw it, he walked over and patted Tian Limai on the shoulder, touched his beard and said: "Sun Wa, these are all small meanings, they are the intentions of grandpa, grandma and your uncle and aunt, your family depends on you, your sister Tian Liyu is a girl, sooner or later she is from another family, you have to study hard, and when you read the book in the future, it will be good as soon as you read it, and then your father and your mother's hard life will come to an end!" Be angry!"

What else to say? What else can a sixteen-year-old say?!

Tian Limai's head was down at this time, there were tears in his eyes, he listened to his grandfather's words, and nodded vigorously!

"Tian Limai, you first take back a few things from your grandmother and your eldest uncle, I know that you still have to go to your second uncle's house, me and your eldest aunt and your grandfather and grandmother are not special to your second uncle, but their conditions are stronger than yours, although this is just a small thing, I am afraid that they will have ideas when they see it, of course, they also have their own intentions!" Da Botian Hezhuang said.

The eldest uncle used a Sealand back basket to pack those things, and the eldest uncle Tian Hezhuang picked up the Sealand back basket and said: "These things, go back and tell your father and your mother that you will eat them yourself during the New Year, and don't take them out tomorrow!"

Tian Limai nodded again, he stretched out his left and right hands and picked up the Sealand back basket, his voice seemed to be so light that only he could hear it and said softly: "Tomorrow, come and eat soup!"

Tian Limai didn't look back at his grandfather, grandmother, uncle, and aunt, he knew that his grandfather, grandmother, uncle, and aunt must be watching him behind him, and he vaguely heard his grandfather saying: "This grandson is sensible, and there will be a future in the future!"

Mother Yang Meizhen and sister Tian Liyu saw Tian Limai come back with a basket of bluelan, and her sister Tian Liyu was very happy, and said with a smile: "Brother, with these apples, spades, sunflowers and cones of chestnuts, and brother, you-" Sister Tian Liyu almost said, "And brother, you bought me sugar", Tian Liyu glanced at it, and her sister Tian Liyu paused: "And brother, you have a delicious mouth, we have a very rich and good life this year!"

However, her mother Yang Meizhen said melancholy while carrying the basket: "Mai'er, your father will be unhappy when he comes back, he often tells me that our family is currently in great difficulty, and there is nothing good to honor your grandfather and grandmother, but we can't go back to eat them and take them!" For your uncle and second uncle, your father often said that they are all from each family, and your uncle's family and your second uncle's family are not rich, as long as we can drag it away, don't trouble them often!"

"Mom, I know, but I really had to accept that situation at that time!" Tian Limai said, the tone is a little heavy!

"Mai'er, Mom didn't blame you, and you don't know your dad's temper?!" Mother Yang Meizhen said again, that tone seemed a little helpless!

"Mom," Tian Limai felt that his previous sentence was a little heavy, afraid that his mother would misunderstand him, so he tried to soften his tone and said, "Dad is back, I'll explain it to him!" While talking, Tian Limai also smiled: "It's a big deal, I'll go to kneel the Xianghe case again!"

Mother Yang Meizhen picked up the things in the Sealand basket and asked, "Mai'er, you haven't gone to your second uncle's house yet?" ”
