Chapter 205: Forest Frog
Tian Juhua turned her head to pick up the wooden basin that was thrown down, happily pulled Xia Zhi and Tian Laosi to go home, and urged Tian Laosi to go quickly with Xia Solstice on her back while trotting.
"Fourth brother, hurry up, I'm going to tell the child's father, this afternoon, I will go back with you, bring Miao'er with me, and come back tomorrow morning, and I won't delay anything!" As soon as Tian Juhua heard that the road on the Shili Mountain was open, she was so happy that she couldn't wait to run back and forth immediately.
The black line above Tian Laosi and Xia Zhi's heads is getting deeper and deeper, and I haven't seen Tian Juhua so unreliable in normal times, I ran with my child for an afternoon, and I actually had to come back the next day, isn't this a toss.
"Sister, it's better to let Miao'er stay in our house for a few days, the children in the family miss her, hurry up and wait for Ah Tian and Ah Yan to come back, and you can see if my brother is not!" Tian Laosi didn't dare to persuade Tian Juhua, so he could only euphemistically persuade Tian Juhua not to toss Zhao Miao.
"That's okay, anyway, it's close in the future, you can send Miao Er here, I'll let Miao Daddy pick it up, half a day's journey is not far!"
Thinking about Zhao Miao, it is indeed very lonely to be at home alone during this period of time, so it is okay for her to live in Tian's house for a few days. Since last year, the Li family ordered to expand the recruitment of embroidery girls, and the female children of the Tian family were not allowed to work in the embroidery village, and ten embroidery girls were re-recruited on the summer solstice last year, and Xu Xiuniang was promoted to the shopkeeper of the embroidery village.
Tian Lichun and they didn't go, and Zhao Miao didn't want to stay anywhere alone, so he only took the embroidery to do at home. And Tian Meihua has never been to the embroidery village in the town to be a cook since her second son Liu Erbao was born, and the Li family stopped her. But fortunately, the two families are also having a very good time now.
Needless to say, the Zhao family said. Tian Juhua and Zhao Changlin got up early and greedy for darkness. In addition, Zhao Miao's remuneration in the embroidery village had already paid back the remaining fifty taels of silver from the Tian family, and not only that, but the expenses for Zhao Tian and Zhao Yang's private school in the past two years were also paid by themselves. Although the family is tight, and the two of them are tired, dark and thin, their mental state is very good, and they are looking forward to the days, and the two of them are happy all day long.
And the Liu family, with Liu Tiezhu's hunting skills, and Tian Meihua's monthly money. As well as the money from selling Luozi, I also bought a few acres of good land, and the Tian family helped to set back, life is really good, if there is no Aunt Liu Tiezhu who often goes to the Liu family to make trouble, I think the life will be better, but now the Tian family is famous in a radius of 100 miles, and Liu Tiezhu's aunt does not dare to make trouble, only from time to time to say some sour words. Tian Meihua and Liu Tiezhu are two people, no matter what she says. Live your own life.
Talking all the way, he walked into the gate of the Zhao family. Zhao Changlin didn't feel strange when he saw Tian Chrysanthemum who went and returned, he just thought that Tian Chrysanthemum had fallen something.
"Child, what's wrong? Let people bring a word, I'll send it to you, running back and forth with a wooden basin is panicked! As soon as the words fell, I saw Tian Laosi with the summer solstice behind Tian Juhua, and immediately sent down the work in his hand and said, "His fourth uncle is here, come in and sit!" Miao'er, come on, your summer solstice sister is here~" After speaking, he turned his head and shouted into the house.
In Zhao Changlin's life, not only did he call Zhao Miao out, but Zhao's father and Zhao's mother also walked out behind Zhao Miao.
"Fourth uncle!"
Zhao Miao ran out of the house and shouted happily,
"Sister Xia Zhi, I miss you!"
Xia Zhi had just touched the ground when he was grabbed by Zhao Miao.
Two little girls, affectionately holding hands, complained to each other. Zhao's father and Zhao's mother were disgusted when they saw it,
"Miao'er, let your fourth uncle and Xia Zhi sister sit for a while, this road is long, your fourth uncle and Xia Zhi sister must be tired!"
After speaking, he beckoned Tian Laosi to sit down and speak,
"Fourth Uncle Miao'er, when did you come here, you couldn't have been on the road last night!"
The distance between the two families also knows that the more north the more sparsely populated, most of the girls are reluctant to marry here, their son can marry Tian Juhua, they are happy in their hearts, not to mention that his family has been passed down for several generations, Tian Juhua gave birth to two sons and a daughter, isn't it a great blessing, the old couple want to be good to their daughter-in-law, so that she can often walk to her mother's house, but the two villages are separated by Shili Mountain, and it is not easy for the daughter-in-law to go home, so they can only double the good to the daughter-in-law.
"Auntie, Daddy! The fourth brother didn't come over at night, Xia Zhi and my fourth brother Zhang gathered the people in the village, and opened the road from Zhaojia Village through Shili Mountain to Tianjia Village, they only came here this morning, and it will be convenient for us to go to the child's grandmother's house and the town in the future! Tian Juhua said with a happy face.
"Really? Don't you bluff us! Zhao Changlin sat on the side and listened to Tian Juhua say this, but he was a little surprised and suspicious.
"Go, who bluffed you!" For Zhao Changlin's suspicion, Tian Juhua was unhappy.
"Brother-in-law, my sister really didn't bluff you, the road is indeed opened, and now there is no problem at all on foot, but it is not very good to pass the car, but when I go back to find someone to pull some stone slabs, and re-pave the whole road, it's okay!" Although Tian Laosi's tone was the usual tone, he had an indescribable pride.
"This is really good, Miao Er won't have to be so troublesome to go to grandma's house in the future, and Ah Tian and Ah Yan will no longer have to go home all year round!" For the two grandchildren, the two old men miss them very much, but they still let Zhao Tian and Zhao Yang focus on their studies.
"Okay, good-" Mother Zhao said several times excitedly, and Tian Miao'er also happily held Xia Zhi's hand, not knowing what to say.
When the family was happy, Zhao Changlin thought of the cost of paving the road.
"Fourth brother, it's okay if this road is opened, I think it has cost you a lot of money, just pave the road!"
Zhao Changlin knew that Tian Juhua's mother's family did this, naturally to facilitate the two families, and the most important thing was to let Tian Juhua go back and walk more, now that the road has been opened, let them spend a lot of money for the Zhao family to pave the road again, but he is a little unhappy.
"Yes, yes, the fourth uncle of the child, don't spend money in vain, as long as this road is passed, you can walk, just walk more, there is no need to re-pave it with stone slabs!"
Although the slate is not valuable, but such a long road is paved, to say a few hundred taels. Although the Tian family is rich now, they can't afford to spend a few hundred taels as soon as they make a move, and they can't help spending it like this no matter how much money they can make.
"It's okay, Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao, this road is paved, not only is it convenient for you but also convenient, the title deed of this ten-mile mountain is now in our hands, and we can take care of the mountain when we pave the road!" Knowing that they were all simple people, Tian Laosi was relieved.
"Fourth brother, although we don't have as much money as you, but my brother-in-law has the strength, I will go back with you today and help you pave the way!" Seeing that Tian Laosi insisted on paving the road, Zhao Changlin arrived.
"What Changlin said is that not only Changlin has passed, but Chrysanthemum has also cleaned up, let's go back with your fourth brother in the afternoon, Miao Er also misses her cousins, and the old man and I are at home to watch the house!" Mother Zhao saw that Tian Juhua and Zhao Miao both looked at Zhao Changlin with blank eyes.
In this way, the Zhao family agreed that after lunch, Zhao Changlin and Tian Juhua took Zhao Miao to follow Xia Zhitian Laosi on the road. Along the way, Zhao Changlin was very cautious, holding a thick wooden stick in his hand, afraid that some beast in the mountain would suddenly rush out. Although Tian Laosi said that the road had been cleared, Zhao Changlin was still a little worried, but fortunately, he was safe and sound along the way, and he didn't see any large beasts.
When they crossed Shili Mountain and walked to the foot of Tianjia Village, the time was just the beginning of the year, which made Zhao Changlin and Tian Juhua happy at the same time, and they felt a lot of emotion. Zhao Miao was simple-minded, only knowing that her grandmother's house was much more convenient later, and the joy in her heart was not stingy, and after seeing Tian Lichun and them, she was even more happy.
Tian Juhua came back, the next day Li sent Ah Tie to pick up Tian Meihua's family, this is only the first month, every family is very idle, the two sisters met in a hurry at the beginning of the year, and they went back separately, and they didn't say anything. Now taking advantage of this opportunity, there are many places.
Not to mention how affectionate the two sisters of the Tian family are when they meet here, but after a day of rest on the summer solstice, Tian Laosi contacted the stonemason who sent the slate, paid the deposit first, and asked him to provide the Tian family with the bluestone slab all the time, and pay the balance when the road is completely paved.
On the third day, Tian Laosi took Liu Tiezhu and Zhao Changlin, as well as some young people from the village, and some people with old skills to start a long paving career. It is said that this road is not easy to pave, most of the potholes are crooked, not to mention, there are other ravines and ravines, uphill and downhill are all need to be paid great attention to. And on the summer solstice, for the sake of safety, let them nail wooden stakes on both sides of the one-meter-wide road, especially the section of the road along the side of the mountain, there must be Magnolia. This will inevitably delay the whole progress, but the summer solstice is still a priority for safety.
Fortunately, building roads here is a matter for the benefit of the people, from time to time there are idle people who come forward to help, and do not charge the labor fees of the Tian family, many people in the direction of Zhaojia Village heard about this matter, and even brought their own dry food to help, passing by to catch the market, if they are not in a hurry, they will also help, so that the whole project is not particularly slow.
In the blink of an eye, the time slipped into the middle of March, but the road on the ten-mile mountain was only paved by less than a third, and all families began to plough the farmland that had just thawed, preparing for this year's sowing, so during this period of time, there were fewer and fewer people in the Tian family to build the road, only the people who had no land, still followed behind Tian Laosi. Lao Luotou handed over to Tian Laosi this year's task is to pave the road, as for the rest, he doesn't have to worry about it.
In the past few months, as Tian Laosi often goes up the mountain, the summer solstice is really fishing in troubled waters, and he has run into Shili Mountain many times. No, taking advantage of the fact that there is some small work at home in the past few days, no one cares about her, Xia Zhi took the opportunity to run into Shili Mountain, and went directly to Shili Mountain with a tributary of the Houcun River, but I didn't expect to hear a pop sound all the way.
Xia Zhi's curiosity came up, and he lightly brushed aside the withered grass leaves where the sound came from, and looked at it fixedly, and was suddenly surprised when he saw it, what was squatting under the withered grass leaves was not a forest frog! (To be continued......)
