Chapter 2 On the Way Home

Although the rain in March was not heavy, it was still raining gently. Although it was drizzling, it still soaked the clothes of pedestrians on the road.

And when Lao Luotou was worried about his six granddaughters, Tian Manfu, the eldest of the Tian family, Tian Manfu and his wife, Tian Manlu, the second eldest of the Tian family, and the third Tian Manshou, the fourth of the Tian family, Tian Manxi, were already on the way home.

They all looked worried and hurried. Although he was wearing a silk robe, the clothes inside had already been soaked by the rain on the clothes. Faced with a muddy road, although several people hurriedly walked, it was still far from the usual speed.

When he first went out, Lao Luo was afraid that he was not familiar with life. After all, no one usually goes to the town except to pay taxes, and I am afraid that if something happens, I will not find anyone to help me. Let Tian Laoda, Tian Lao and the second husband and wife accompany Tian Laosan and Tian Laosi together, leaving only the third daughter-in-law to take care of the fourth daughter-in-law who is still in confinement, so there is a care.

The group didn't care that their clothes were wet, wiped the rain that slipped down their cheeks from their straw hats, and continued to hurry. The drizzle blocked the view of pedestrians, and the fourth elder of the Tian family was full of joy and felt that his eyes were full of rain, and there was a vast area in front of him, and then he was mixed with the gravel under his feet, and suddenly fell on his stomach. And he seemed to have something behind him, and he was also thrown out of the body when he fell.

The rest of the Tian family saw him fall and hurriedly ran forward, ready to help him up. But Tian Laosi didn't wait for anyone to help, he used his hands and feet together, and with a jump, he came to the side of the thing. didn't care about the mud on his hands, so he immediately hugged the things in his arms, lifted the oilcloth bag and checked it.

This lift, the oilcloth is wrapped in a little girl, the little girl is about five or six years old, there is no meat on the body, a bag is tied on the head, the face is sallow, and pale, the eyes are closed, although the body is worn out, but it is clean. In such a rainy day, my body was very dry, and I was not wet by the rain.

Tian Laosi checked the little girl, and after finding that there was no problem, he looked at the little girl's eyes that were still closed, and suddenly hugged the little girl and cried. "Slap, slap" twice, it was Tian Laosi who suddenly slapped the little girl's back vigorously, and cried in his mouth: "Why haven't you woken up, why haven't you woken up", the rest of the Tian family couldn't help but choke up when they saw him like this, and secretly wiped their tears.

In the end, the eldest brother of the Tian family choked his throat and pulled Tian Laosi up, and took the little girl on his back, and said:

"What are you doing here, don't hurt the summer solstice, get up quickly, wash your hands, your hands are full of mud, your younger siblings and children are still waiting for you at home, what do you look like."

Seeing Tian Laosi's tearful and desperate appearance, he couldn't bear to persuade him:

"Didn't the doctor in the town say that as long as you wake up, maybe, as soon as you get home, you don't need to take medicine The eldest niece of the summer solstice will wake up" At the end, he patted Tian Laosi's back and said, "Let's go, my father and mother are still waiting for news at home, but I may be more worried, and there are younger siblings." ”

The second husband and wife of the Tian family and the third brother of Tian all nodded in agreement, and said "Yes, the fourth brother (her fourth uncle)", but Tian's sister-in-law did not echo but said: "Xia Zhi is reluctant to us, it will definitely be good, his fourth uncle will be fine" After speaking, he walked behind Tian Boss and took care of the little girl he was carrying behind him.

Tian Laosi looked at his relatives' worried face, wiped his face, and didn't know whether it was wet with tears or rain. Quickly ran to Boss Tian's side and replied, "I know the way." The summer solstice will be good, it will be good, big brother, thank you, the money for the summer solstice this time is counted as I borrowed a few sisters-in-law's mother's family."

"What are you talking about, we are a family, what you and mine, we are all brothers, regardless of you and me", after speaking, he didn't look at Tian Laosi, just looked at the road ahead, stepped up his pace, and sighed in his heart: "Alas......, there are still several miles to go!" Gotta hurry. ”。

"But ......", "Fourth uncle, don't worry about this, sister-in-law, although I am poor, I don't lack your two money, now it is important to heal the summer solstice first, and everyone will always pay it back if we work together." The sister-in-law of the Tian family, Wang, trotted to keep up with the pace of Boss Tian and interrupted Tian Laosi's words.

Lin, the second sister-in-law of the Tian family, who was also trotting next to her, also said: "Fourth, although my sister-in-law is usually careful in her calculations, isn't it for life, and you can't treat me as a person without conscience!" ”,

"Yes, yes, your third sister-in-law also means this, we can't learn from that shallow eyelid," the third child of the Tian family also said.

And the shallow eyelids in his mouth refer to the second daughter-in-law of the Xu family, a neighbor of the Tian family. The Xu family is a foreigner from Tianjia Village, and it is necessary to say that the Xu family only has two male babies, and now they have married wives and had children. Life is much better than that of Lao Luotou's family. But the good times didn't last long, and the old man Xu, the head of the Xu family, went up the mountain to cut down a tree in order to make a small bed for his eldest grandson, and was smashed by a big tree and broke his leg, and he wanted to be cured. Now the little daughter-in-law is unwilling, you said that you broke your leg for the eldest grandson, why do you want our second room to pay for treatment, and clamoring to split the family.

Seeing his brother and sister-in-law say this, Tian Laosi hardened his voice again. Seeing him like this, the second child of the Tian family hammered him with a fist and said:

"Crying, crying, like a!" And his punch suddenly made Tian Laosi grin in pain, and his hard throat softened.

Seeing that he punched Tian Laosi, and listening to what he said, Lin turned his head and rolled his eyes at him, and shouted: "Just your grandfather, I don't look at your iron fist, I am breaking the child and his fourth uncle" After speaking, he turned his head and asked Tian Laosi, who was grinning with bared teeth: "Her fourth uncle, how is it, does it still hurt." ”

Tian Lao Er scratched his head when he saw his daughter-in-law talking about him, and laughed. Seeing him like this, Tian Laosi replied with a sour voice: "Second sister-in-law, I have nothing to do, but I don't have a second brother, hehe......", Tian Second Brother saw him laughing at himself, and raised his fist at him again, full of threats. Tian Laosi shrunk his neck and hid behind Tian's second sister-in-law. Tian's second sister-in-law glared at Tian's second brother, so frightened that he quickly withdrew his hand, and his action provoked the ridicule of Tian Laosi and Tian Laosan.

Boss Tian, who was carrying the summer solstice on his back, couldn't help but smile when he heard the jokes of his younger brothers. After such a play, everyone's hearts are a lot more relaxed. Especially Tian Laosi, I forgot for the time being, the daughter-in-law who was confined, the daughter who was unconscious, and the money borrowed for her daughter's treatment. At this moment, everyone's hearts are full of warmth, and I believe that it will be better in the future.

In order to get home before dark, the Tian family quickened their pace again, but at this time, they were not as sad and heavy as they were at the beginning. Everyone talked and laughed, and the pace was brisk, and they went home smoothly.
