Chapter 85: Becoming Black
"Really?" Xiaobao asked, twisting his little eyebrows.
"Really, Dad knows that you like his mother, and you like the eldest brother and the second brother, and he will definitely come back soon."
Xiaobao turned his head to look at Da Bao Erbao, and then looked at Cui's, "Grandma, what's wrong with you, why do you have to cover your mouth." ”
Cui Shi was so excited that he wanted to speak, but he was choked and coughed violently.
Dabao and Erbao quickly stood up and walked behind Cui Shi and gently patted her on the back.
"Grandma, you're sick, you need to take medicine."
Xiaobao also hurriedly got up, squeezed into the middle of Dabao and Erbao, and learned to beat Dabao and Erbao with a pair of small fists.
"Mother, let Dad come back and buy medicine for Grandma."
"Okay, my mother asked my father to come back and buy medicine for my grandmother."
Tian Miao hoarsely voiced, turned her head, and secretly wiped away the tears that had slipped.
Qiu Chenghao, you wait for me, I, Tian Miao, must have figured things out, if you dare to be sorry for this big family, I have to clean you up.
After drinking the rock sugar water handed over by Cheng Fang, Cui's cough eased.
Tian Miao took out the self-made building blocks and the drawings drawn, put them on the kang, and began to guide Dabao Erbao and Xiaobao to build blocks.
"You didn't take your mother to see, why did the cough get worse the more." Taking a small time to take a few small busy moments, Tian Miao asked Cheng Fangdao.
"Look, the old problem, the doctor prescribed medicine to eat!"
"The money is not enough, you have to tell me, it's really not good, next time I take the provincial capital to see, it's not a problem to cough like this."
"No, no, cough cough, it's in the womb, it's not curable."
"What you bring in your mother's womb, what you don't see can't be cured, you can only know if you see it." Tian Miao said with a straight face, and Cui didn't dare to speak again.
Cheng Fang hesitated, "The doctor said that if you can buy some cough syrup, or buy something to moisten your lungs, soak in water and drink more, it will slowly get better." ”
"Oh, I know, next time I buy it back, be careful during this time, don't go out to blow the wind."
"Ahem, ahem, I know, I'm paying attention!" Cui Shi Okita Miao smiled and narrowed his eyes.
Looking at the Cui family who was so careless, Tian Miao had to put away her stiff face and bend the corners of her mouth at her, "I don't take you seriously, you take care of yourself, and we don't have to worry about snacks." ”
"Ahem, I understand, I understand."
"Mother, is this how this is matched?" Erbao took a building block and asked.
"Well, the three of you are so smart, my mother took a long time to understand!"
At first, Xiaobao insisted on building inside, Dabao and Erbao both let her, but halfway through, the blocks collapsed, Xiaobao was unhappy, but he also learned to be obedient, and began to hand the building blocks to Erbao Dabao, 'directing' the two of them to build.
Dabao Erbao is not angry, and he is quite happy.
Tian Miao briefly praised and gave a few words of guidance, and then continued to talk to Cheng Fang.
"How did Cheng Ping do in the midterm exam, can you keep up?"
"It's okay, medium level, I heard that I added an English, and I came back to read it, it seems to be very difficult."
English? How difficult it can be to add English just now, wait until I see Cheng Ping's girl.
"There's one thing, I have to discuss it with you and my mother, I found you a job, learn tailoring, don't make money at first, do you want to try."
"Learn tailoring?" Cheng Fang was taken aback, "What's the use of learning that?" ”
"Aren't you not married? After learning it, you can open a tailor shop in the town or county town and support yourself. ”
Cheng Fang rolled her eyes at Tian Miao, "If you don't want to raise me, you can say it directly." ”
"Whether you can raise you or not is your brother's business, what does it matter to me." Tian Miao gave her a roll of his eyes indifferently.
The corners of Cheng Fang's mouth twitched, "My brother has a letter, that matter is a shadowless matter, don't believe your second sister-in-law." ”
Tian's second sister-in-law? How could Qiu Chenghao mention Tian's second sister-in-law?
"You're talking about my second sister-in-law's niece? I won't believe it, what's so good about your brother, a college student will take a fancy to him? ”
"Just believe it, my brother is definitely not that kind of person."
"Second aunt, who is your father?"
Dabao has been eavesdropping on the conversation between the two of them, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but raise his head and ask, with an unconcealable panic in his eyes, he could hear the quarrel in the office of the team headquarters that day, although he didn't quite understand what was going on, but there was always a sense of foreboding.
"Don't listen to your second aunt's nonsense, I said that your father is digging coal and digging darker, and he is going to become a black person, your second aunt thinks it won't."
"Black people?" Dabao's face was full of doubts.
"Well, black people, in fact, not all the people outside are like us, some people with black faces are called black people, some people with white faces are called white people, and our yellow people who are about the same color as wheat are called yellow people."
"Oh." Dabao still didn't understand, but he didn't ask again, but lowered his head and continued to help build the blocks.
Tian Miao glanced at Chengfang, and then asked, "Are you ready for food, let's go to the electric mill tomorrow." ”
"I'm ready, I can eat until the end of the spring planting."
"Okay, then we'll go to town early tomorrow morning."
At dinner, for fear that Mrs. Tian would chatter, Tian Miao had to go back with Xiaobao, Dabao Erbao and Xiaobao were reluctant, Tian Miao said that he would bring Xiaobao over in the evening, and the three brothers and sisters reluctantly said goodbye.
After dinner, I chatted with Lao Tiantou and Tian Laoda about the vermicelli factory, and inadvertently mentioned Tian Miao's donation of coal.
Tian Miao said that in the future, she would be able to earn back the vermicelli by pulling coal and potatoes to the vermicelli factory, and this also gave Lao Tiantou a long face, and Mrs. Tian's tone was smooth.
Everyone was sitting in the hall, and Tian Er's sister-in-law was also there, and when she heard that Tian Miao had donated thousands of yuan of coal to the vermicelli factory in vain, her eyes widened, but she quickly buried her head, she should have been thinking about something.
The corners of Tian Miao's mouth curled slightly, Qiu Chenghao mentioned Tian's second sister-in-law in the letter, it seems that he knows everything in this family very well.
At nine o'clock, Tian Miao said that she would go to her house to sleep with Xiaobao, and Mrs. Tian reluctantly sent the two of them out of the door.
went to the old house of the Qiu family to receive the two treasures, and the four mothers went all the way back to their homes.
Three pairs of little feet in a basin, Xiaobao stepped on the feet of the two elder brothers, and had a lot of fun, so he forgot to miss Mrs. Tian's stubble.
The four mothers were lying on the kang, Tian Miao was thinking about what story to tell, but Erbao rushed to open his mouth.
"Mother, my brother and I told my sister about Journey to the West, my sister hasn't heard of it."
"Okay, you talk to your brother, and my mother listens to it, my mother forgot all about it."
Dabao's eyes turned over, looked at Tian Miao, the corners of his mouth quietly curled, and then said to Erbao, "You speak, if it's wrong, I'll change it for you." ”
"Okay, I'll tell." Erbao got up excitedly and looked at Xiaobao lying beside him, "Sister, my brother will tell you a story, you have to listen carefully, you can ask me if you have any questions, if I don't, you can also ask my eldest brother and mother." ”
"Uh-huh, tell stories and tell stories, and the second brother tells stories."
"Erbao, just lie down and tell your sister, your heart will hurt if you lie down for a long time."
Although Erbao was very excited, he still lay down obediently, but he turned sideways, looked sideways, and looked at his Xiaobao with an expectant expression.
Although Erbao's speech is not as detailed as Tian Miao's, it is already very detailed for a five-year-old child, and he also adds his own understanding and imagination from time to time, which sounds a point or two more wonderful than himself.
Tian Miao admired his amazing memory and imagination very much, Erbao is a sensitive child, which should be caused by the delicacy of his heart.
When Xiaobao asked questions, Dabao would occasionally help Erbao answer a few words, and the brothers would occasionally get praise from Xiaobao, such as "Second Brother is awesome" and "Big Brother knows so much".
Late at night, Xiaobao muttered that Sun Monkey had fallen into a dream first, and Erbao also closed his eyes after being recognized and praised by Tian Miao.
Dabao closed his eyes for a while, then opened them again to look at Tian Miao, who was looking at the three of them lovingly.
"Mother, you sleep too."
"Well, you sleep first, and my mother will turn off the light and sleep when you fall asleep."
Dabao tried to close his eyes for a while, and then opened them again, "Mother, will Dad really come back soon?" ”
The smile on the corner of Tian Miao's mouth froze, afraid that Dabao would find out, so he nodded quickly, "Well, my mother will definitely let your father come back early." ”
"Thank you, mother, I, I like my sister very much."
Dabao rarely finished saying this sentence shyly, and then quickly closed his eyes and lay upright.
Tian Miao tried her best to bend the corners of her mouth to look at her son and daughter, with an indescribable sour feeling in her heart, for the sake of the children, she really should go and see Qiu Chenghao.
After breakfast the next day, Tian Miao drove to the Qiu family's old house to load all the grain into the car, and then took Cheng Fang to Lao Tian's house.
Last night, there was no Xiaobao by her side, and Mrs. Tian didn't sleep well all night, and she also nagged Lao Tian for half the night.
Early in the morning, I saw off Lao Tiantou and Tian Laosan, and Mrs. Tian was waiting for Tian Miao at the door.
"You're here, my little treasure, why are you here alone?"
Tian Miao got out of the cab, and Mrs. Tian came over, and her eyes looked into the cab vigorously.
Dabao Erbao sat on Cheng Fang's left and right, Cheng Fang held Xiaobao in his arms, and the three children excitedly shared the surprise of riding in the car, and did not look over.
"Mother, I'll take you around the town today, and you can also go and see the vermicelli factory that Dad and Uncle Chen have set up?"
Seeing Cheng Fang holding Xiaobao, Mrs. Tian was a little unhappy, but when she heard Tian Miao say that she would let her go to the town in a big car and go to the vermicelli factory, she couldn't help but feel a little moved.
The people in the village chew their tongues all day long, and if she walks around in a big car driven by her precious daughter, she will see that they dare to chew their tongues, and she will envy them to death.
She also wanted to go to see the noodle factory for a long time, and when she knew that she had smashed 2,500 yuan in it, she almost cocooned Lao Tiantou's ears.
Yesterday, Tian Miao donated another half a cart of coal for thousands of yuan, and she had to go and see if she could get the money back.
Mrs. Tian thought for a while with a cold face, and finally nodded and agreed to Tian Miao's proposal.
