Chapter 90: Auntie's Family
The father and daughter quickly collected the small piece of sweet potato, got into the ox cart, and hurried to Tian Chrysanthemum's house non-stop. With such a harvest. The summer solstice is no longer urging, holding the sweet potatoes on the ox cart and smiling happily, Tian Liqiu on the side of the watch has cold hairs standing on end. I muttered in my heart, the sixth sister is terrible like this.
Although the father and daughter were already in a hurry, it was still dark when they went down the mountain. But at least it's dark when you go down the mountain, and if it's dark on the mountain, it's not easy to walk.
Fortunately, after going down the mountain, there is no need to leave Zhaozhuang. After walking for about half an hour, they faintly saw Zhao Zhuang on the summer solstice. Because of the dark sky, Xia Zhi didn't see the general layout of Zhao Zhuang clearly, and he only felt that Tian Laosi drove the ox cart and took them around and around to a house. And because of their arrival, Zhao Zhuang's dog kept barking non-stop.
Xia Zhi looked up, the house was a little similar to the Tian family's old house, both were mound houses, and the shape was a bit like a courtyard house, but it was obviously newer than the Tian family's old house. Tian Laosi led the cow with one hand, and stepped forward to knock on the door with his right hand. At this time, around the middle of the unitary hour, most people should wash and get ready to sleep.
"Big sister, big sister, open the door!" Tian Laosi slammed the door with his hand and shouted in a low voice. It's just that he shouted several times and there was no response. Tian Laosi was helpless and then increased his strength to knock on the door, and the voice of shouting also increased. Now someone finally answered.
"Who? Who?" The person who spoke was obviously a man, and his voice was very calm and powerful.
When Tian Laosi heard the answer, he immediately thought of the identity of the person who came, and said in a low voice: "Brother-in-law, it's me." I'm the fourth. Full of joy! Tian Manxi of Tianjia Village!" Tian Laosi was obviously very excited when he spoke, and he also spoke with a trill.
But here Tian Laosi was excited. Over there, Zhao Changlin didn't react, who the fourth man was full of joy. It's no wonder that he, Tian Juhua hasn't returned to her parents' house for nearly ten years, except for when she was married and a few children were born, Zhao Changlin saw several brothers-in-law of the Tian family, and she hadn't seen her for many years. If it was another Chinese New Year, he would probably think that the people outside were liars.
But fortunately, he finally remembered who Tian Manxi was, and immediately stepped forward to open the door, and saw Tian Manxi holding a cow in his hand. The cow also pulled a cart behind, and two little girls sat on the cart, looking sleepy and tired.
"Oops! Good boy hasn't been here for your sister for many years, why are you here at this time, come in, these are two nieces! I must be exhausted! it, come and see who's here! Zhao Changlin beckoned Tian Laosi and Xia Zhi to enter the door, and shouted loudly for Tian Juhua to come out.
Xia Zhi and Tian Liqiu were originally sitting on the ox cart, tired and sleepy, and were suddenly taken aback by the voice of Zhao Changlin. Xia Zhi heard that the Zhao family had a son with Aunt Tian's husband, so presumably the one who was guarding them now was their uncle.
Xia Zhi raised his head and secretly looked at the uncle who made his aunt fall in love at first sight. I have to say that I was taken by Aunt Tian. It makes sense. I saw his tall nose, thin lips, sword-like eyebrows flying obliquely into a few strands of black hair under the corners of his sideburns, about thirty years old, because of the perennial labor, the skin was a little dark, but it did not detract from his handsomeness, Xia Zhi almost wanted to whistle, I didn't expect my uncle to be so cool. No wonder my aunt fell in love with my uncle at first sight.
"Who's coming? This big night?" Tian Juhua listened to her husband's shout, and only then walked out of the bedroom and asked loudly. Tian Juhua really couldn't imagine that there was anyone who didn't sleep and wanted to run to her house this big night. But since her husband called her, she naturally wanted to come out to take a look, maybe it was some kind of relative.
"Sister, is it you, I'm Manxi, I'm Xiaoxizi!" Tian Laosi listened to Tian Juhua's voice and immediately returned excitedly. Tian Laosi didn't expect that after so many years, his sister's voice had not changed at all. After so many years, being able to hear Sister A's voice again made Tian Laosi feel the urge to shed tears.
"Who!" Obviously, Tian Juhua didn't expect Tian Laosi to come so late, so she listened to Tian Laosi's words but was a little incredulous.
"Child, it's the fourth brother, the fourth brother also brought two nieces over, the child looks a little tired, I think the fourth brother and they probably haven't even eaten dinner, you hurry up and get some food!" Zhao Changlin knew that Daotian Chrysanthemum was a little incredulous, and said that it was her, if he hadn't seen a real person, he would have thought he was dreaming.
Tian Juhua got a positive answer, and immediately ran out, and saw Tian Laosi pulling the cow, followed by Tian Xia Zhi and Tian Liqiu. couldn't help but step forward and give Tian Laosi a punch, and complained: "You dead boy, why have you gone for so many years, and you don't come to see your sister, I don't know how much your sister misses you very much!" As he spoke, the tears began to fall.
Tian Juhua was wearing a green shirt, probably because of the evening, her hair was coiled so casually, and her figure was slightly fat, and this image was a little joyful.
"It's all my fault, knowing that the eldest sister of Lu Dao misses me, I should run a few more times and let the eldest sister take a good look at me!" In the face of Tian Juhua's tears, Tian Laosi was very powerless, and while feeling sorry for Tian Juhua, he felt that he shouldn't have come to see his sister after so many years. Hey, but there was really no way at home before, but now everything is fine at home, and there is an ox cart, so it is convenient to come to Sister A.
"That's it! Look at the brother-in-law in a hurry, the two children and the brother-in-law must be hungry, hurry up and make some food, boil some water to wash, and talk about it tomorrow when you have a good rest! Zhao Changlin lowered his voice and said. At this time, his three little naughty and old parents had already fallen asleep.
"Hey! Okay" Tian Juhua listened to Zhao Changlin's words, and hurriedly agreed, just now because of the joy of seeing Tian Laosi for the first time, she ignored the summer solstice and Tian Liqiu, at this time Zhao Changlin said, she noticed the two girls standing next to her younger brother.
Xia Zhi saw Tian Juhua looking at her and Tian Liqiu, so she pulled Tian Liqiu forward and said hello to Tian Juhua: "Hello auntie, I am Daddy's daughter, my name is Xia Zhi, and my sister is called Liqiu!" "Hello aunt! Tian Liqiu also followed Xia Zhi and said.
Tian Juhua has never seen the two children of her younger brother, seeing that the two children are so well-behaved, she can't help but hold the two children in her arms, and scream for a while, and then blame Tian Laosi for not coming earlier, with the two children dared to walk at night, saying that Tian Laosi was speechless and couldn't say anything. In the end, Zhao Changlin rescued him and took him to settle the ox cart.
As for Xia Zhi and Xiao Bailu, they were naturally welcomed into the house by Tian Juhua, and when they arrived at the house, they took some snacks for the two sisters to eat and play, and she went to cook for them and boil water. Xia Zhi saw that the aunt was doing this, and felt that the Zhao family's life should be good, and it can be seen from the clothes of Tian Juhua and his wife, both of them are wearing semi-new clothes, you must know that most people wear old clothes at home. The good clothes are all kept to wear outside, Tian Juhua and Zhao Changlin are half-new clothes this night, it is conceivable that their family should be doing well, and Tian Meihua also has a silver hairpin on her head.
Here Xia Zhi was thinking about the Zhao family's days, and over there Zhao Changlin led Tian Laosi to place the ox cart and came back. The two entered the house, Zhao Changlin asked Tian Chrysanthemum, and got Xia Zhi's answer, so she let the two of them have fun, and chatted with Tian Laosi.
What is the health of the father-in-law and mother-in-law, how many children have been added to the family, and how is the harvest at home. Or Tian Laosi asked Zhao Changlin what Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao are doing, how are the children at home, how are their lives, and how is their sister's health.
It wasn't until Tian Juhua cooked the rice and water and called Zhao Changlin to take a few people to eat that the two of them rested.
Zhao Changlin took the three of them to a room next to the kitchen, Xia Zhi looked at the room There was only one table and seven or eight stools in the room, it was estimated that this should be a dining room, but he didn't expect that Aunt Tian had a special dining room at home. Tian Juhua came out with rice and vegetables, and another person brought a bowl of water and put it on the table, before beckoning the three of them to eat. Tian Laosi was not polite, he only ate rice balls on this day, and he was hungry. Compared with Tian Laosi, Xia Zhi and Tian Liqiu are not so hungry! After all, the two of them are little babies, and along the way, Tian Lao Si of the rice ball Tian ate closely to her, and she didn't need to walk, so the two of them were not hungry.
Xia Zhi looked at the rice and dishes on the table while giving Tian Laosi, who was gobbling up the dishes. The rice is white rice, and there are two plates of dishes, one with vegetables and one with meat. Looking at such a meal, Xia Zhi once again confirmed that the life of the aunt's family was good.
Tian Juhua saw that Tian Laosi was gobbling up, and asked Xia Zhi, the little baby, to pick up vegetables for him, she couldn't help but shake her head, went to the kitchen to get a pair of chopsticks, and said while serving them vegetables for Xia Zhi: "Eat slowly, there are still in the pot, not enough for me to add to you!" ”
Tian Juhua saw Tian Laosi's eating appearance, and remembered that life was getting more and more difficult when she was in her mother's house before. Now I don't know what the situation is at home, I'm afraid it's not much better! Thinking of this, Tian Juhua felt even more sorry for Tian Laosi and Xia Zhi, and vigorously put vegetables into the bowl of the three of them, so that they could eat more.
Tian Laosi was eating well, but the summer solstice and Tian Liqiu were bitter, the two of them were not hungry, they were sandwiched by Tian Chrysanthemum with a bowl full of vegetables, and it was not good to eat it, and they couldn't finish eating. After reaching the end, there was no way, so the two poured the rest of the meal into Tian Laosi's bowl and let Tian Laosi eat cleanly.
After eating, Tian Juhua turned hot water and let the three of them wash up, then arranged a room for the three of them, made the bed, and let the three of them have a good rest.
Xia Zhi lay in bed, thinking that this trip was worth the trip, not only met the legendary aunt and uncle, but also dug up sweet potatoes, thinking that next year the family can grow sweet potatoes, Xia Zhi was excited and couldn't sleep! (To be continued......)
