"Pay it off in five years?" Cheng Fang looked incredulous.

"What? Do you think I'm going to take a fancy to anyone else besides your brother? Or do you think I'm really following a male boss?"

Tian Miao deliberately rolled her eyes angrily, "One by one, didn't I just make more money, why do I think I'm hooking up with men?" I don't want to think about it, even if I want to hook up, people have to be willing to not. ”

The two of them were walking out of the gate with shovels and baskets, and several small ones were behind, Tian Miao didn't dare to say it loudly, so she had to 'angrily' whisper to Chengfang to protest.

Cheng Fang was amused by her tone and movements, "That's what I said, my brother can bear you." ”

Tian Miao sighed in his heart, alas, I don't know if he is willing to endure himself in the future.

It was nearly ten o'clock to carry the charcoal into the utility room with a basket on the back.

Tian Miao was reluctant to go home, sat on the edge of the kang, and deliberately exaggerated to describe the scenery of Liangcheng, Ningcheng and the road to everyone.

At nearly eleven o'clock, Tian Miao had to reluctantly get up and leave.

"Mother, are you, are you afraid alone, do you want me to accompany you home?"

When he was about to go out, the little padded jacket Erbao suddenly asked, Tian Miao's eyes were sore, and tears almost slipped down directly.

She tried to hold back, turned around and nodded pitifully at Erbao, "Mother thinks it's so cold at home alone, if you, you want to go over and accompany me, okay?" ”

Tian Miao looked at Erbao expectantly, Erbao nodded like pounding garlic, and his eyes were shining.

Tian Miao looked at Dabao who was standing beside Erbao again, as if he was looking awkwardly, "Dabao, what about you?" Can I go to my mother's house? ”

"Do you really want us to accompany you?"

"Well, of course." She had been looking forward to this day for a long time, but in the face of the stubborn Dabao, she didn't dare to take the initiative to implement the coaxing plan.

"W-Oh well!" Although Dabao answered this with a straight face, Tian Miao found that the corners of his mouth were quietly curled.

"Well, though, you can't be unreasonable."

When Tian Miao led Dabao and Erbao to the gate, Dabao suddenly stopped and said again.

"I promise, no foolishness."

Tian Miao had tears in her heart, and hurriedly answered in an oath-like tone.

The kang seedlings in the east corner house have been cleaned up, and the mattresses are spliced together, and the sheets are laid on them.

Tian Miao, who was accompanied by her son, was very excited, and when she got home, after putting the two little ones on the kang, she was busy boiling water.

After washing their faces, rinsing their mouths, and soaking their feet, and then settling them both down, she lay down beside them and told them stories.

What to talk about? After Tian Miao searched the stories in his mind, he finally chose Journey to the West, which he had watched countless times from TV.

She has read a lot of books, but there are almost no children's books, if she hadn't watched too much TV, she might not be able to tell even Journey to the West, it seems that she has time to go to the bookstore to buy a few children's books to improve her 'cultural level'.

"Mother, will Sun Monkey really change seventy-two? So what can he become? Erbao's upper and lower eyelids fought, but the questions jumped out one after another.

"Trees, stones, rabbits, and other people." Tian Miao explained.

"This doesn't add up to seventy-two changes!"

"He can change whatever he wants, and it doesn't add up to seventy-two changes." Dabao glanced at Tian Miao with a knock in his mouth, and rarely helped explain a long sentence.

"Can he become a pig, a sheep, or a donkey? Oh, he's going to be me again! "Erbao's imagination is not ordinarily good.

"Of course he can, if he wants to, he can conjure you and your brother at the same time, because he has a hair on the back of his head."

Tian Miao's hands tucked the corners of the quilt for Dabao and Erbao, and her face was filled with a happy and loving smile that she didn't even know.

"Yes, he has hair, I, I also want hair, I want my father back, and Xiaobao, we are together as a family, together."

Erbao fell asleep, but Tian Miao's heart suddenly became very sour because of these words.

"Mother-"

Dabao, who was sleeping next to Erbao, looked at Tian Miao and called softly, "Have you always been like this?" ”

"Well, my mother assures you."

"Mother, let's tell this story next time!"

"Well, my mother will keep talking." Tian Miao stretched out his arm, and gently patted Dabao's chest across Erbao.

"Mother, that's good!"

Dabao seemed to bend the corners of his mouth a little shyly, and then quickly closed his eyes.

Tian Miao tried to endure the sourness in his eyes and looked at Dabao steadily, until his breathing tended to be even and long.

There are all the ingredients in the space kitchen, Tian Miao got up early, boiled millet porridge with egg drops, and baked scallion pancakes, which woke up the two little ones from their sleep.

After washing, sitting at the kang table, looking at the scallion pancakes cut into small pieces on the plate, Dabao and Erbao did not move their chopsticks.

"Why don't you two eat it, don't you think it's delicious?"

"Mother, this cake smells so good, I—Can I leave some for milk?" Erbao asked timidly.

Dabao's face is always stiff, and this morning it has softened a lot, and after Erbao finished speaking, he also looked at Tian Miao with expectant eyes.

"Mother's son is really sensible, don't worry, my mother not only kept your milk, but also gave you a few aunts and uncles."

"Really?" Erbao's eyes lit up instantly, and Tian Miao actually saw gratitude from inside.

The corners of Dabao's mouth also quietly curled, picked up chopsticks in his right hand, reached out and picked up a piece of scallion pancake and put it into Tian Miao's bowl.

Erbao saw it, and quickly sandwiched a piece for Tian Miao.

Tian Miao carefully tasted the scallion pancakes, with a satisfied face, "The cake that my son gave to my mother tastes fragrant." ”

At this time, Dabao and Erbao were so sensible, not only because of the lack of love from their parents, but also because of the good teaching of Cheng Fang and Cui.

Thinking about the previous life, the reason why several children became like that later was that Cheng Fang, who was older, had to get married, and where was Cui's opponent of 'Tian Miao'.

After breakfast, Tian Miao took a stack of scallion pancakes, and then led Dabao and Erbao back to the Qiu family's old house.

When she came back this time, Tian Miao remembered to buy meat again, but she didn't remember to buy some vegetable oil.

Cheng Ping was not there, Tian Miao had to simply tell Cheng Fang how to make scallion pancakes, lard can also be eaten, but it can only be eaten while it is hot, and it will become hard when it is cold.

"Every day or two, you can make some oil cakes for them, they are malnourished, and their brains are not enough when they study, and I remember that I beat a lot of rapeseed this year, squeeze the oil and eat it yourself, don't sell it, I have the money."

Tian Miao took out thirty yuan and stuffed it to Cheng Fang, and continued to nag, "The weather is getting colder, change all the paper on these windows, and change the wall fence (made of paper paste) to a brighter one, so that the house will be brighter." ”

Cheng Fang looked at the money, hesitated for a moment, and then put it in his pocket, "Got it." ”

Speaking of oil extraction, Tian Miao suddenly remembered that there seemed to be no electric mill in the village, and last year, everyone was reluctant to pay, so they still grinded flour and pressed oil on the stone mill in the village.

After the harvest of crops, you can pay money or grain to the electric mill in Songping Town to grind noodles or extract oil, and everyone is gradually willing to go to the electric mill to grind noodles and extract oil.

"Is there enough noodles at home to eat, or just wait for the next time I come, I will pull the wheat, buds and rapeseed to Songping Town, and I will finish it all in one trip, and I won't have to toss it anymore before the year."

The expression on Cheng Fang's face was stagnant, she just grinded some noodles on the stone mill a few days ago, and it should be no problem to eat for a month.

"Okay, then I'm ready to wait for you."

She had to wash the grain before grinding, and since she had to grind more, she had to prepare early.

Speaking of preparing grain, Tian Miao thought of the mill again, "Has our yard been milled, if not, I will take the time to come back and grind." ”

Our family? Cheng Fang's eyebrows were raised, and her heart was inexplicably a little complicated, this was the first time that Tian Miao regarded the Qiu family as her home.

"You don't know?"

Cheng Fang tried to suppress the feeling of joy and sourness in her heart, and asked in some surprise.

However, when he saw Tian Miao wrinkling his eyebrows, he continued: "It's grinding, on the third day of your departure last time, Brother Tian grinded it." ”

"You said my eldest brother helped grind it?"

Tian Miao sighed in her heart, it must have been arranged like this by her father, it seems that his old man still hopes that she and Qiu Chenghao can get by, but Qiu Chenghao may not think so!

"Well, Brother Tian helped finish the grinding, and he also used a tractor to send all the food to the family."

"It's good to grind it, and if they help in the future, you're welcome."

"yes, I see."

Cheng Fang responded, muttering unconsciously in her heart, it seems that since this sister-in-law has become better, except for her eldest brother, everything is developing in a good direction.

At lunch, Tian Miao actually wanted to eat with Dabao Erbao, but thinking of Lao Tiantou, Mrs. Tian and Xiaobao, she had to leave the Qiu family's old house and return to Lao Tian's house.

After eating, Tian Miao and Lao Tiantou chatted about the vermicelli factory.

The last time Tian Miao came, the noodle factory ran into some trouble, and the county meant that the noodle factory should be set up in the county seat, and the workers would be recruited as official workers in the form of recruitment.

Chen Yong and Lao Tiantou's plan was to insist that the vermicelli factory be set up in Songping Town, and the workers would not be recruited as full-fledged workers, because no one could say whether the vermicelli factory's benefits were good or bad, so except for the technicians, everyone else worked as contract workers or temporary workers.

The two sides disputed, and the matter dragged on for more than ten days, and finally the county was relieved, but the funds for the instructions were not very much.

Lao Tiantou gave Chen Yong a method of partnership (shareholding) to set up a factory and divide the shares (dividends), which was approved after being reported to the county.

In the past few days, they have been vigorously publicizing this matter, and although some people have come to cooperate, they have not received much money.

Lao Tiantou secretly gave Tian Miao a thorough word, he put all the 1,000 yuan saved by the family into the share, accounting for 5% of the share, if Tian Miao into the part, also hurry in, he thinks that this factory will definitely make money.
