Chapter 44: Grandma Comes to the Door
Early in the morning, Tian Zhiquan went out with his things, and met many people on the road, all of whom were staring at him, and saw that he went to the village chief's house.
"Shiquan is here? Have you had breakfast? ”
"Sister-in-law, is Brother Fusheng here?"
"Here, eat, come in, eat some more."
The village chief's daughter-in-law greeted Tian Zhiquan into the door, looking at the things he was carrying, and was secretly happy in her heart.
Yesterday, I heard that the girl from the Lao Tian family came back, and the big bag said that she was pushing things into the house with a flatbed car, but I didn't expect to come to deliver things today, and Zhiquan is not bad.
"Brother Fusheng, this is what the sprouts brought to you, don't dislike it, a piece of the baby's heart."
Tian Zhiquan opened the kraft paper bag, which contained two boxes of Modu filter cigarettes, a pack of biscuits and a pack of White Rabbit toffee.
"What is this doing! Take it back quickly, these good things, put them at home to eat, and your family is not rich. ”
"Brother Fusheng, this is the baby's filial piety to you, there is not much, this is the baby's filial piety, she was going to come with me, in the morning I saw that the baby has not woken up, outside for a long time, must be tired, I will come first, I have to go down to the ground for a while, go first!"
As soon as Tian Zhiquan put his things down, he said a few words and left.
"Oh, this little girl from the Lao Tian family is really blessed, she went to a big city, and bought these old good things, this white rabbit toffee, which can't be bought in department stores, as well as this cigarette, filter, a box is estimated to be not old or young.
If you want me to say that this girl looks blessed, with a round face and big eyes, she is rare and rare, and she is chubby and well-raised at a glance, that is, she is more delicate, but what is this, people are blessed, and she should be delicate.
Look at Zhiquan's mother, I can't look down on Zhiquan, I don't understand, what's wrong with Zhiquan and Chunhua, Zhiquan is filial, Chunhua can give birth to a son and can work, that Mrs. Tian is partial, and she can't even tolerate her granddaughter. ”
"Okay, other people's affairs, besides, I'll keep an eye on it, I won't let Zhiquan's family suffer."
The village chief's daughter-in-law smiled and cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, she had made up her mind to make friends with Zhiquan's family, the relationship was good before, and now seeing that Tian Xiaoya is so promising, she must go further, thinking about this girl who is seventeen years old this year.
During the double robbery period, the men, women and children of the Tian family went into battle together, all went to the field to cut rice, and took advantage of the good weather to dry and hull new rice.
Tian Xiaoya said that she would deliver food at noon, otherwise her sister-in-law would stay at home to cook, and she would really not be able to do farm work, otherwise she would also go to the field.
The noon meal is also simple, the family made glutinous cakes, it is really soft for a while, and then get some pickles and salted duck eggs, eat at noon and pay attention to fast, salty, full of good things, the evening is the most sumptuous meal.
"Is there anyone in the house? Little buds! ”
The courtyard door was pushed open, and Tian Xiaoya, who was busy in the fire room, heard a familiar voice in her memory, but she had never heard a shout, and hurriedly ran out, and when she saw the person at the door, she was stunned and instinctively smiled, and shouted, "Grandma." ”
"Grandma, aunt, sit in the house, and serve you a bowl of mung bean soup cooked in the morning."
She hurried to the kitchen, put two large bowls of mung bean soup that had been cooked in the morning, and then added some sugar.
"Grandma, aunt, are you busy at home? How is my grandfather's health? Yesterday, my father told my mother that when he wasn't busy, he would go back to see you and my grandfather. ”
Mrs. Zhang drank the cold mung bean soup, took a few breaths, the heat gradually dissipated, and said with a smile: "Look, I'm good with your grandfather, your grandfather can still go to the ground, everything is fine at home, now the double robbery, when the double robbery is over, the next wave of planting will begin, and the four seasons of the year will not be idle." ”
Tian Xiaoya said with a smile: "Grandma, you sit down first, and I'll call Mommy." ”
"Don't leave yet, try the chicken cake I brought you, this is specially bought by your brother-in-law, watch others to do it, and buy it early in the morning and ask me to bring it to you."
"Uncle knows best what I like to eat."
Tian Xiaoya picked up a piece of chicken cake, broke a piece and sent it to Mrs. Zhang's mouth, and then took a bite, the chicken cake she had just made was particularly soft and soft, full of eggs and flour aroma, as well as fragrant oil.
Zhang Chunhua learned that her mother and sister-in-law were coming, so she hurriedly came from the field, went back first, and told her husband to go back soon after a while.
Zhang Chunhua pondered while walking, at this time there must be something wrong with her mother's door, when she is busy with farming, she generally does not go to relatives, but she doesn't know what is going on, she is a little worried, her mother's family is poor, she has also helped some over the years, but she also has her own family, or four sons, after all, she has more than enough heart and not enough strength.
"Mom, sister-in-law, I'm going to go home to see you in two days, I'm here to live here for a few days, Xiaoya, you go to the field and call your third brother to buy a fish in the town, and then buy a watermelon and come back."
"Got it, Mommy."
Tian Xiaoya ran out and looked at her grandmother and aunt looking at her mother, their eyes met as if something was wrong.
After passing the word, Tian Xiaoya went to the town with Tian Aimin, and she could see that her grandmother had something to say, she wouldn't go back so early.
The weather is hot, after the rainy season passes, it adds a bit of blazing atmosphere, Tian Xiaoya is carrying a big silver carp, Tian Aimin is holding a big watermelon, and one person is holding a mung bean popsicle in his hand, squeaking and gnawing, this is Tian Aimin's money, Tian Xiaoya is a penny in hand.
"Sister, don't you eat yet, brother still has two cents here, buy you a chocolate popsicle."
At this time, the cheapest is the orange popsicle and the old popsicle, five points one, and then a dime of mung bean popsicles, a popsicle has a small section full of mung beans, every time I buy a mung bean popsicle, my friends like to compare whose popsicles have more mung beans, sometimes a popsicle is more than half of mung beans, everyone can envy, the most expensive is milk popsicles and chocolate popsicles.
"Don't eat it, third brother, save your money, don't have nothing to do to play billiards, play three cents once, it's so expensive."
Tian Aimin wanted to scratch his head, only to find that he was holding a watermelon in his hand, so that his sister found out, he was a little embarrassed, "Sister, it's the third brother who is wrong, there is that money to buy delicious food for you, the third brother will try not to go in the future, mainly because someone shouted, it's not good not to go." ”
Tian Xiaoya snorted, the third brother and they play billiards, which is a bit gambling, she thinks it's not good, the key is that the third brother's ball skills are not good, and he can't win, it's too expensive, but she doesn't plan to say this, sooner or later, she will have to arrange a full schedule for the third brother, so that he has no time to play.
"Mom, we're back."
As soon as she went back, Tian Xiaoya saw that the corners of her mother's eyes were red, her father was sitting on the side and smoking with her head covered, her grandmother's face was pale, and her aunt's brows were full of sorrow.
She thought for a moment and said, "Mom, take out the things for grandma and let grandma see them." ”
