Chapter 49: A strong desire to survive

After hanging up the phone, Lao Tiantou went to Chen Yong's house to sit for a while, this time the two of them did not drink, and had a detailed discussion on how to develop the economy of Songping Town.

In addition to wheat and corn, Songping Town also produces artichoke and flax, and also grows some buckwheat, oats, sorghum, millet and other miscellaneous grains.

The two of them were thinking about it, but they couldn't find a way to make a living.

In the end, the two did not discuss a result.

......

Sister-in-law Tian went back to the wheat field, and the fourth and fifth sisters-in-law Tian went to cook, and Tian Miao found the vermicelli and meat in the bag and gave them to the two of them.

"Miao Miao, what is this? Is it also eaten? Tian Si's sister-in-law asked with the noodles.

"Noodles, don't you know?"

Seeing that Tian Si's sister-in-law and Tian Wu's sister-in-law both had blank expressions, Tian Miao was also shocked.

This vermicelli is a material rewarded by the space when Ningcheng transports the things of the supply and marketing company, and Tian Miao divides it into two parts, one for the old Tian family and one for the Qiu family's old house.

It was a very casual thing, but how did Tian Miao know that there were no popular vermicelli in Liangcheng at this time.

"It's called vermicelli! But it's so hard, how can you eat it? "Sister-in-law Tian Si is very humble to ask for advice.

In the end, Tian Miao had to put down Xiaobao, who was shaking the rattle in her arms, followed Tian Si's sister-in-law and Tian Wu's sister-in-law to the kitchen, and instructed them to make a meal of braised pork stewed vermicelli.

Sister-in-law Tian returned to the wheat field and conveyed Mrs. Tian's instructions, and Tian Jingfeng no longer threshed wheat seeds, but stacked the wheat bundles left for wheat seeds.

Then a few of them went to help Tian Lao Da with a few stacks of big stacks, and the strength of the people was great, and it took more than half an hour for the barley stacks to be harvested.

Tian's sister-in-law and several concubines also cleaned up the beaten wheat seeds and put them into sacks.

A large group of people gathered around a cart and went home.

When Lao Tiantou came back, the tractor had already been driven into the backyard by Tian Miao, so he didn't know that Tian Miao had returned.

Walking into the courtyard, listening to the lively sound in the hall, Lao Tiantou's brows wrinkled unconsciously, these things, one by one, patronized themselves happy, but they didn't know how to think about his precious daughter.

Lao Tiantou looked up at the sky and sighed, "I don't know where this girl went, whether she suffered or suffered." ”

"Dad, what are you talking about, why don't you enter the house yet?"

Everything was ready, just waiting for Lao Tiantou to come back to start the meal, listening to the lively sound in the hall, Tian Si's sister-in-law, who was in a hurry in the kitchen, went to the stall of the hall by sending bottles and cans of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar to join in the fun.

As soon as I got out of the kitchen door, I saw Lao Tiantou looking up at the sky and whispering.

Lao Tian put his hands behind his back, twisted his eyebrows and glanced at Tian Si's sister-in-law, and then walked to the hall without saying a word, muttering in his heart, these people are not surnamed Tian in the end, you look at the smile on that face, it makes people extremely angry.

When he arrived at the door of the hall, he suddenly heard a hearty laugh from a lot of noisy and lively sounds, and the old man Tian paused, and reacted that this was the laughter of his precious daughter, so he pushed open the door and rushed in.

"Miao Miao, Miao Miao?" His eagerness seemed to be afraid that he would be late and his precious girl would disappear again.

"Dad, you're back." "Lordβ€”"

A large group of people greeted him, but Lao Tiantou's eyes only heard Tian Miao's voice in a crowd of people.

Tian Miao, who was sitting on the edge of the kang, stood up and looked at Lao Tiantou with a smile, because she was thin, and there were several sisters-in-law who were shorter than her next to her, looking at her extraordinarily tall.

Lao Tiantou's eyes were sour, and after taking a big step forward with a trembling goatee, he suddenly leaned down, took off the shoes on his feet, jumped to Tian Miao, raised his hand and began to hit Tian Miao's pi strands with the soles of his shoes.

"I, I'm beating, flattening you little rabbit, are you so bold that you dare to sneak away and run away with a tractor, are you good at driving that tractor?"

"Dad-" Tian Miao turned the pi strand around with a smile, which was more convenient for Lao Tian to hit, watching him raise his shoes very violently, but it also turned into a pat.

"Tian Xingchang, are you too capable, do you want to beat you and me."

The old lady Tian didn't follow, ran out, and pushed the old Tian away.

"Daddy-" "Grandpa-"

Although the other people in the room did not dare to persuade them, they all 'pleaded' in unison.

"You-" Lao Tian pointed at Mrs. Tian with his shoes, but he was secretly worried about whether he hurt Tian Miao just now.

"Mother, it's okay, Dad's beating doesn't hurt at all."

Tian Miao turned around and naughtily grabbed Lao Tiantou's arm, and said, "Dad misses me too much, that's why he wants to beat me, right?" ”

"Humph! Who misses you, don't believe you and ask, without you in this house, the big guy is free to be broken. ”

The corners of Tian Miao's mouth twitched quietly, why didn't she find out that Lao Tian Tou was the same as Mrs. Tian, and she also loved to clean up everyone.

"Dad, we all miss Miao Miao." Sister-in-law Tian smiled and played a round game.

Tian Laoda and other brothers, as well as Tian's second sister-in-law and several concubines also casually agreed, and Tian Jingfeng and other nephews also hurriedly said, "We also miss my sister-in-law."

The corners of Tian Miao's mouth twitched again, and the desire to survive was extremely strong, but who was sincere and who was false, she gradually had a number in her heart.

"Humph!" Lao Tiantou snorted again, enjoying Tian Miao taking off his shoes and helping him onto the kang, his face finally looked much better.

"Mother, let's start dinner firstβ€”" Sister-in-law Tian asked as she glanced at the baggage piled up in front of the box.

"Since your father is back, let Miao Miao divide the things for everyone first, and then eat!"

Mrs. Tian proudly climbed onto the kang and carefully untied her burden.

When Tian Miao took out their respective gifts one by one and was about to hand them over, Mrs. Tian stopped her hand and snatched it from her hand, and then when she handed it to the person, she didn't forget to tell a few words such as 'This is Miao Miao's hard work to buy it for you, you have to feel distressed about it', 'It's not easy for your aunt to earn money, you have to be filial to your aunt in the future'.

Tian Miao couldn't cry or laugh a little, she had to laugh and play a round, "There will be more in the future, as long as everyone likes it." ”

In addition to the fabrics, malt cream, milk powder and other supplements for their respective clothes, Tian Miao also bought a cigarette and a rhinoceros horn smoke pot for Lao Tiantou, and a pair of silver bracelets and a pair of silver earrings for Mrs. Tian.

Lao Tiantou held a cigarette in one hand and a tobacco pot in the other, "It's wasteful, it's too wasteful, this cigarette is not as good as tobacco leaves, this tobacco pot is too expensive, it's just too wasteful." ”

His face was serious, but the corners of his eyes and mouth were quietly curled, and there was still wetness in his eyes.

Cloth, malt milk essence, milk powder and other things, Tian Miao had already shown Mrs. Tian for a while, and at this moment, a pair of silver bracelets and silver earrings suddenly appeared, and she cried directly excitedly.

"Old, old man, I, I also have silver jewelry, woo woo woo ......"

Thinking of the grievances suffered by Mrs. Tian before, Old Tian Tou sighed quietly, he put down the things in his hand, took the bracelet in Mrs. Tian's hand, and put it on her wrist.

"The baby girl is more capable than me, since I bought it for you, then wear it."

"No, I'm reluctant to wear it, I have to keep it and leave it to my little treasure."

"Mother, you can wear it, if Xiaobao wants to wear it, wait for her to earn it when she is older."

Tian Miao's heart is sour and bitter, the sour thing is that Mrs. Tian hurts her and she hurts Xiaobao and has no bottom line, and the bitter thing is that her mother is hating Xiaobao!

"That is, Miao Miao can earn it, and Xiaobao will definitely be able to earn it, so you don't have to worry about them in the future."

Lao Tian raised his eyes to look at Tian Miao, and coaxed Mrs. Tian to echo.

This night's dinner was lively, even the thoughtful people were especially praised because they got the gift from Tian Miao.

In particular, Lao Tiantou was busy asking about the vermicelli while sucking in the meat flavor and eating the extra delicious vermicelli.

Tian Miao only thought he was curious, so he patiently gave him an answer.

After dinner, Tian Miao coaxed Xiaobao for a while, and then ignored everyone's dissuasion, and went back to his house.

The house was the way she had been when she left, because no one had been there for several days, and even though it was summer, it still felt cold and deserted.

Tian Miao turned around, waited a little late at night, and then went out, avoiding the people in the village all the way, and quietly came to the gate of the Qiu family's old house.

The door was closed, she pushed, there was no latch, she hesitated for a moment, and then quietly walked in.

After putting the burden in the yard, she wanted to turn around and leave, but when she heard the conversation in the house, she stopped again.

"Mother, what should I do about the mill this year? Otherwise, I'll go to Shiquan's house and set a date! This is Qiu Chengfang's voice.

"Ahem, cough, her family wants too much food, or let's find Wang Hong's family!"

"Her tractor is always broken, and she hasn't run it into a few houses these days, if only my sister-in-law was here, I think my sister-in-law will definitely drive a tractor to our family this year." This is Qiu Chengping's voice.

"She, maybe! But she's not at home, and even then, she doesn't have anything to do with us. ”

"Alas-" Qiu Chengping sighed, and then seemed to remember something good, and opened his mouth again, "Mother, the family doesn't have much money, if you add fertilizer to the buds and soybeans, won't you have a few dollars?" ”

Tian Miao's brows furrowed, how could Qiu Chengping's voice sound, the lack of money made her very happy.

"Well, cough cough, I'm afraid there won't be ten dollars left."

"Mother, then I don't have to go to high school, how expensive is the tuition fee for high school!"

The high school is in the county seat, because you have to live on campus, in addition to the tuition fee of eleven or twelve yuan, there are accommodation fees, round-trip bus fares and living expenses.

"Cough, cough, cough," Cui coughed repeatedly.

"No, you can't add fertilizer, you have to go to school, this is what the eldest brother said." Qiu Chengfang said sharply.

"Second sister, why didn't you go to high school back then, it wasn't to reduce the burden on the family, and now I am too." Qiu Chengping's tone was full of pride.

Tian Miao squatted down, opened the baggage, touched the handkerchief wrapped in twenty yuan, unfolded it, and added another thirty yuan to it.
