Fu Zhenhai cried a few more times, touched the tears on his face with his big rough hand full of calluses, blew his nose, and then choked up and said:

"Girl, your uncle and I are bitter in my heart!" Fu Zhenhai narrowed his eyes and stretched out the five fingers on his left hand that were still stained with tears: "I have five sons, the eldest is twenty-three, and the youngest is seven years old. I built two mission rooms (marriage rooms) with blue eyes, but my daughter-in-law still didn't marry one room!! Whining......

"I'm digging in the dirt, and I'm building a house on the flat?! I...... I...... Is it easy for me...... What else can I do? If my father could change his daughter-in-law, I would ...... Just go and give them another one.

"What's wrong with Erbai's porridge family? Isn't it just a big thick white porridge with clean cornmeal? I will too, but you will come to the leader...... Woohoo......"

Fu Zhenhai said incoherently, and Tian Qingqing didn't know what he said at all.

"Let's go. Listen to these words again. Wen Xiaoxu said: "It's like this every time, and the people on my team are about to carry it." ”

"He's drunk, he must be thirsty, I'll go and bring him a scoop of water." Tian Qingqing said, "Quack" and "Quack" ran towards the courtyard house.

When I came back, it wasn't so fast. Because of the hurry, the water in the scoop splashed out, Tian Qingqing had to stabilize his body and walk back step by step.

At this time, Fu Zhenhai was still crying, and he was still saying those words over and over again.

Tian Qingqing raised the water scoop in front of Fu Zhenhai: "Uncle, are you thirsty?" Drink a scoop of water to relieve fatigue. ”

When Fu Zhenhai heard that there was water, he squinted his eyes and looked at the water scoop in Tian Qingqing's hand, took it, and drank it.

"It's so sweet!" After Fu Zhenhai finished drinking, he said "let's chirp" and "let's chirp" again, and said to himself.

After drinking the water, Fu Zhenhai didn't say anything more, his body was leaning on the red thorns, his head resting on his right arm, and he snored after a while.

"He won't cry, let's go." Wen Xiaoxu dragged Tian Qingqing and said.

The children all ran back to the yard with "quack" and "quack".

In the afternoon, Tian Qingqing took Tian Miaomiao and Tian Weiwei and several girls to play hopscotch in the yard; The boys went to the field to fight. It wasn't until late in the evening that Tian Weiwei and the others left, Tian Qingqing took Tian Miaomiao to the space and cut down the dandelions that were planted last night, ready to cook and eat at night. He also transplanted the dandelions that had not been dug up at noon to the vacated place.

There are no weeds in the space, and dandelions don't have to choose at all. This saved Tian Qingqing a lot of things.

When cooking dinner, Tian Qingqing hesitated: Today's mother Hao Lanxin's labor in the team is a human rake. It's a lot of work. A dozen or so men, mostly women, pulled a rake, and the long teeth were pierced in the soil, and an adult sat on top of it to press the rake, so that the teeth could be pierced deeper. If you don't exert all your strength, the rake won't move. People still have to walk in the cultivated land. Don't say that you can't deal with one shoe, and if you can't deal with it, you won't be able to break your feet all of a sudden, and it hurts for a long time. After half a day, the people were violent like a monkey, tired and exhausted.

Father Tian Dalin's work out of the manure pit is even more tiring. The man stood in the manure pit and threw the manure in it on the edge of the manure pit. The manure pit is more than one person deep, and if you get to the bottom, you have to round your arms before you can throw the manure out.

With such a large labor intensity, what they eat is vegetable wotou and carrot sticky porridge. No oil or water at all?!

Tonight, why don't I make a clean cornmeal sticky porridge, cut the carrots into slices, stir-fry them with vegetable oil sent by the fifth grandmother, and then mix a plate of blanched dandelions. It's still those things, but with the color, fragrance, and taste, the parents' appetite must be opened.

Tian Qingqing thought so in her heart, and felt that there was room for sowing corn as a backing, so she started to make it.

When the grasshopper eyes (almost dark), Hao Lanxin came back from listless work. Seeing that the eldest daughter was cooking, the younger daughter was lying on the back of the eldest daughter, and her little arm was around the eldest daughter's neck, looking at the flames in the stove. The eldest daughter was lighting the fire and singing nursery rhymes to the younger daughter.

"Qingqing, is the rice almost cooked?" Hao Lanxin said, put the rope and the separator (shoulder pad) aside, and quickly scooped up water to wash his hands and face - after an afternoon in the field, a layer of dirt fell on his body and face, and mud could be picked out of his nose.

When Tian Miaomiao saw Hao Lanxin, she hurried towards her. Tian Qingqing hurriedly supported her and said to Hao Lanxin: "Mom, it's okay to eat for a while, after you wash your face, feed your sister Doudou (milk), and rest for a while." After pulling a rake for a day, I must be very tired when I push the mill at noon. ”

Hao Lan was happy to hear this: I am really blessed to have such a sensible and capable eldest daughter! After washing his face, he picked up Tian Miaomiao, stroked Tian Qingqing's head, and said emotionally: "My sensible child." After speaking, he hugged Tian Miaomiao and entered the courtyard house.

The rice was cooked quickly. Tian Qingqing swept the front of the stove, patted the cigarette ash on his body, and walked out of the temporary stove. Thinking that it was time for my father to come back, I looked at the entrance of the yard, but saw my grandmother Tian Lu coming in a hurry.

"What is she here for? Is it for a few eggs in the morning, come to my mother? Tian Qingqing's heart suddenly rose to his throat.

"Grandma, you're here." Tian Qingqing pretended to smile and said crisply.

Although Tian Lu's didn't think much of himself, he brought his family to the courtyard house. But after all, she is her father's mother and her grandmother, and this relationship has to be maintained.

Besides, it doesn't matter what you're here for, I'll smile first - isn't there the old saying "don't hit the smiling person with a smile"!

"Well, where's your dad?" Tian Lu walked as he spoke.

"Daddy hasn't come back yet. Mom is feeding my sister in the house, grandma, sit in the house. Tian Qingqing said in a friendly manner.

"Nope." Tian Lushi said with a proud face: "I'll ask your father to carry two picks of water for your second aunt's family." Your father hasn't come back yet, so tell your mother to go and carry it to your second aunt's house after she finishes feeding. ”

Tian Qingqing was obedient and wrong: Why did the second aunt's family run out of water to eat, so she ran more than 700 meters to ask her father to carry water for her? Are they living separately?!

suddenly remembered that in his previous life, his parents were often bullied by the second aunt's family, and his father died after falling down on the road because he was unable to support his body because he carried water for the second aunt's family.

Now that my father is not at home, I have to let my mother bear it, isn't this bullying?!

When Tian Qingqing thought about it, his heart became uneven.

"Grandma, the second aunt's house has no water to eat, why did you ask my father to carry it for her? My dad isn't at home and calls me mom, but she doesn't know herself? ”
