Chapter 1 The Tian Family

In March, when the sky said it rained, it rained, and the drizzle took away the cold winter and ushered in the spring flowers.

In this season of recovery, the people of Tianjia Village are full of smiles and hope that it will be another bumper harvest year. But there is one family, and everyone in the family is full of sadness. The owner of this family is called Lao Luotou, but when it comes to Lao Luotou, he is not surnamed Luo, and his original name is Tian Luo. The old farmer who was born and raised in Tianjia Village has been growing up in Tianjia Village for generations. And Tianjiacun is also named because of this surname Tian.

Lao Luotou married the Li family, who was thousands of miles away, and had six children, of which the eldest and the youngest were girls, and the rest were boys. In the early years, Lao Luotou was most worried about how to help the children start a family, and now the eldest daughter has already married, the four boys have also started a family, and even the youngest daughter married to a neighboring village last year.

But Lao Luotou is still worried, worried that although the four male babies have become a family, they have not given birth to a handle. Lao Luotou sometimes wonders if he did too much evil in his previous life, and punished him on the children in this life, otherwise he gave birth to two female babies for the old family, two female babies in the second family, two female babies in the third family, and two female babies in the fourth family.

For this old Luo Tou and the Li family, the four families finally had a body again last year, and invited the famous flower woman in the village to touch her belly, saying that it was a boy, but when she was born, she gave birth to a female baby.

Also because the fourth family gave birth to a child, the adults were busy, and the eldest daughter of the old four families broke their heads, and when they found out, they invited the old man in the village to see, and the old man waved his hand, only saying that there was nothing he could do, so he sent it to the town to see, but there was not much rations left in this house, where did the money come from to give the child to the town to see a doctor.

Thinking of the fourth child choked his throat and said, "Dad, don't watch it, you may not be able to save it if you see it, it's the summer solstice that is not blessed when you are your granddaughter, it's okay to go, the province suffers, if you want to blame her useless father" and hugging her head and crying, and thinking of the confinement Zheng heard what the fourth child said, he immediately cried and knelt in front of everyone, begging everyone to save the scene of the summer solstice girl, Lao Luo's heart hurt very much.

Although Lao Luotou and Li are looking forward to their grandson, they are also sensible people, and their granddaughter is also their heart, thinking of the well-behaved and sensible Xia Solstice girl, Lao Luotou secretly hates himself for having no ability, making the children suffer, and he can't even get the money for medical treatment.

To say that this old Luo Tou's family background was originally good, but he couldn't bear to have many children in the family, and when the eldest sister got married, the four sons became a family, and almost emptied the family. The youngest daughter's dowry had to be scraped together, and she borrowed a bunch of foreign debts. In order to repay the debt, half of the family's ten acres of paddy fields have been sold, and the other half of the paddy fields have been produced, and the rest is not enough for the family to eat, and the poor family does not even have a needle.

Now in order to save the summer solstice girl, the three daughters-in-law have gone back to their parents' house to borrow money, what should I do in the future! Lao Luotou got off the kang with his body bent, dragged his shoes, stood in front of the door, looked at Tianjia Village in the drizzle, his expression was full of worry, and he sighed in his heart, God, please save the summer solstice girl! When it was over, he sat on the edge of the kang again. Before he could sit down, he slipped his shoes and walked to the door.

The Li family, who was sewing clothes on the kang next to him, was already absent-minded because he was worried about his sixth granddaughter, and when he saw him walking around, he said dissatisfiedly:

"What are you shaking, you can't stop the meeting, you know that you are worried, the people who are shaking are dazzled, hey......"

After speaking, he sighed, Li Shi, who is only in his forties this year, is already full of gray hair, and the fatigue of the transition makes Li look like he is sixty years old. Li thought that his sixth granddaughter did not know that he had died, and that his family owed so much money to others, and now he even asked others to borrow the needle and thread for sewing clothes, and Li's brows could not be relaxed.

He simply put down the clothes in his hand and asked Lao Luotou, who was still standing by the door, "Old man, what do you say is the boss over there" After asking, he squinted at the room in front of him on the left, and muttered in a low voice, "I don't know if the summer solstice girl has been saved" After muttering, he spat again, "Bah, my eldest granddaughter must be fine!" ”

Lao Luotou stood by the door and didn't move, turned his head and rolled his eyes to look at her, didn't answer her, and sat on the edge of the kang with his shoes in tow. I couldn't stop sighing, and after sighing, I kept saying:

"It's going to be good, it's going to be good, everything is going to be fine......", but the more he talked, the more he lost his confidence, the more he said, the quieter his voice became, and the last thing left was only muttering.

Seeing him like this, Li knew that he had no bottom in his heart and panicked, so he patted him and echoed: "Well, it will be good, the babies will be good!" When Li Shi said the most reluctant, as if he had some kind of conviction, he straightened up and clenched his fists.

Lao Luo raised his head, rolled his eyes, and drooped his eyelids, only looking at the shoes on his feet. Li Shi looked at his reaction, and suddenly softened like a deflated ball. Both of them looked out of the door, but it was a second door, and they couldn't see anything except the mountains in the drizzle in the distance.

"Alas......" The two sighed together, turned their heads to look at each other, and stopped talking. Li continued to bow his head and sew clothes, and Lao Luotou lingered by the kang and the door as usual.

Lao Luotou's family has four sons and nine granddaughters, and it is conceivable that in this poor family, housing is a problem. The house of Lao Luotou's family is similar to the courtyard house of old Beijing, facing the door is the hall house, the place where guests usually eat and entertain, the left hand side of the hall house is the house where Lao Luotou and the Li family live, and the right hand side is the house where the eldest son and his wife and two daughters live, and the house of the second and third families and their daughters along the wall respectively. The kitchen is sandwiched between Lao Luotou and Lao Si's house, leaving only a boxy yard in the middle.

It is said that it is a house for husband and wife and daughter, but in fact it is only more than 20 square meters, and there is a wooden wall in the middle, and two wooden shelves are placed on both sides.

Except for her and Li's house, Lao Luotou's house is almost all in this pattern, that is, Lao Luotou and Li's house, which used to be like this, but after Tian Xiaomei got married, the wooden wall was demolished.

Behind the house is an acre of vegetable field, to say that the people of Lao Luotou's family are all farming experts and diligent people, which can be seen from this vegetable field. But no matter how good the craftsmanship is, it is diligent, and it is all empty words.

Lao Luotou's eldest son is stable, and his eldest daughter-in-law is cool; The second son is honest and the second daughter-in-law is shrewd; The third son is reasonable, and the third daughter-in-law is gentle; The four sons are smart, and the four daughters-in-law are generally knowledgeable. It's just that although the granddaughters can't see the specific temperament yet, they are also sensible and diligent.

Sometimes, Lao Luo Tou thinks that there is neither a tricky nor an unreasonable person in this family, and he has not been able to live a life for anything. But no matter how many times he thought about it, the result was that there was too little land, and there was no income for food.

Although his four sons are steady and steady, honest and honest, rational and reasonable, and smart and clever, they have never thought of getting rid of the field, but only keep one acre and two points of land, looking forward to more harvests in the coming year.
