Chapter 21: Unpopular
"No matter." Tian Meibao pouted, turned her head to look in the direction of the hall, leaned into Tian Qingan's ear and said, "I guess I can!" ”
Estimating that she was an elder, Tian Meibao said this and did not say any more.
Tian Qingan also changed the topic, "Sister Meibao, I came here along the way, and found that our red brick house, our family is quite powerful, the first one in the village, right?" ”
Speaking of this, Tian Meibao couldn't raise her head anymore, and her hand was pulling the leaves of the pear tree for a while, "Yes, it's the first one in the village." ”
Tian Qingan was a little strange, so he had to continue to guide, "Are the two uncles and the fourth uncle very powerful, I heard my father say that when he left, the house was still a clod of dirt...... By the way, what are the two uncles and the fourth uncle doing now? ”
Tian Meibao sullenly tore a piece of the piece in his hand into pieces, "My father is idle, and he went to the field for two days when he was busy farming, and when you came back, you saw it, he was under the tree at the entrance of the village, what do you think you are doing, playing cards...... As for the eldest uncle and the second uncle, the two sometimes go to the town to work for a few days, and they usually farm. ”
Tian Qingan scratched his head suspiciously, "No, I heard my father say that there are few fields in the village, and our family only has five acres of land, can we use so much strong labor?" Don't you have a cousin at home? ”
Tian Meibao sighed, "There isn't much work in the town, and they don't look down on it." ”
The corners of Tian Qingan's mouth twitched, in the vernacular, he was lazy.
But the family still built a red brick house, needless to say, my father sent ten taels of silver to the family a year.
And the rural area already has little cost, and the whole family is dying all year round, so won't the money saved build a house?
Hey, this topic can't go on, and if it continues, Tian Meibao will die of shame.
It's not easy to have a cousin who can talk to him, Tian Qingan decided to change the topic, "Why don't you take me around, and by the way, talk about the family and the village, we may have to stay for a few more days and understand more, so as not to commit anyone's taboo at that time." ”
There is no need to talk about the topic of the house, Tian Meibao also breathed a sigh of relief, and felt more and more that the little cousin was really intimate, "Okay, then let's start with our house." ”
Tian Meibao, who had regained her liveliness, laughed, her eyes curved into a small crescent, revealing a pair of white teeth, "Qing'an, come on, this is my home!" ”
Tian Meibao pointed to a house in the easternmost part of the hall and said, "I'll take you in and have a look." ”
Tian Qingan followed in, this is a whole room divided into two small rooms, "The outer room is my father's mother's, and I live in the small room inside...... Come on, this is my room! ”
A two-meter-wide wooden bed, with a dresser, the bed and the table are neatly tidied up, clean, and very comfortable to look at, which is the type of relative that Tian Qingan likes.
The little girl happily introduced her own things, small dolls, with old headbands......
Then I didn't know what I thought, I pouted my lips and frowned, "It's a pity that grandma let Peach Blossom stay with me, how good would you be...... No, there is also Sister Qingyu. ”
"You don't want to live with Peach Blossom?"
"Of course!" Tian Meibao puffed out her cheeks, and her hand was drawn from her eyebrows to her chin, "It's not going well all day, that's not good, hanging a face, it's so long, it's too unlucky...... is so capable, why don't you see her taking care of those nephews? ”
"When she first lived at home, she just slept in the same room with me, and then I couldn't stand it, so I asked my father to tell her, and grandma let her move into the room reserved for you." Tian Meibao said embarrassed again, blushing, "I knew that I would have endured it, so that you can live in a new house." ”
Tian Qingan didn't mind and said, "It's okay, we're not here, let's just stay...... By the way, is our room on the west side the same as here? ”
"Yes, the same one, divided into two...... Peach blossoms seem to live in the inner room. Tian Meibao said, "My eldest brother lives with the two cousins of the second uncle's family, and I guess that cousin Qingyang is also like this." ”
When the two came out of the east room, they saw Tian Qingyu with peas, and Tian Qingyang was standing under the tree and talking.
"Big brother, hasn't the house been cleaned up over there?" Tian Qingan asked, "Can you use me to help?" ”
Tian Qingyang said quickly: "Don't go!" ”
Secretly glared at her again, be honest!
Tian Qingan is very sorry about this, she actually wants everyone to see it, which can be regarded as a warning in disguise...... After all, Tian Qingyu's situation, as well as when she recognized people before, the old lady was out of the way, if anyone dared to bully their family, they had to ask her fist first!
Tian Meibao looked at her cousin curiously, and then at her cousin, wouldn't she just do me a favor, can you use it like a great enemy?
"Okay, then Mabel and I will go away."
"Go ahead." Tian Qingyang turned to Tian Meibao again, "Trouble cousin." ”
Tian Qingyang was so solemn, Tian Meibao waved her hand embarrassedly, "It's okay, it's all a family, it should be." ”
……
The west chamber is the big Botian Dali family lived, because there are many children, there is a smell of feces and urine from afar, and on the rope in front of the door, there are two mattresses, which are covered with deep and shallow maps.
The east and west compartments are three rooms, Tian Dali and his wife live in one, Tian Fugui and his wife live in one room with their three sons, and the two older daughters live in the remaining room.
"The sister-in-law in the lobby is also surnamed Fu, her name is Fu Xiaoyan, and she is the niece of the eldest aunt." Tian Meibao loves cleanliness and dislikes it very much, and pointed to the house from a distance and said a few words, and immediately turned the direction to face east, "This is the second uncle's house...... By the way, Cousin Fuhe has actually married his sister-in-law, but his sister-in-law has returned to her parents' house, and you will be able to see Ming'er when she comes back. ”
Tian Qingan blinked, "Cousin Fuhe doesn't look big." ”
Although his face is dark, he can't hide the childishness on his face.
"It's fifteen, I only got married before the Chinese New Year this year, my sister-in-law is pregnant, and we will soon have a new brother and sister." Tian Meibao's face was not happy, but a little depressed...... There are too many children in the house, and it's noisy!
She pointed to the room on the far side of the east wing, "This is where a few cousins and eldest brothers live." ”
It's not her own home, Tian Meibao didn't say anything like taking her in to have a look...... Someone should be in there, though.
The people in the hall just now, except for Tian Dazhuang, Tian Daqiang and the old couple who stayed, all the others came out.
The two of them went to make dinner, Cuihua and Peach Blossom were packing up their things, and the rest went back to their own houses.
The rest of the uncle's side are all men, don't let me go in and have a look, the second aunt here is there, but she doesn't mention it, Tian Qingan raised his eyebrows.
Ever since she entered the hall and saw the solemn faces of a large family, she knew that their return was not welcome, but it was still unexpected.
Tian Dazhuang and his brothers...... The relationship is not good.
Also, my hometown is in the suburbs of Beijing, and I haven't been home for ten years!
However, I have never seen anyone from my hometown in my original memory.
Her brow furrowed more and more...... Since people can bring money back, it means that there are people in the village who come and go to the capital, but the Tian family has never heard of anyone bringing anything to Tian Dazhuang for more than ten years.
"Red dates, come on, I'll take you to the backyard!" Tian Meibao's cheerful voice interrupted her thoughts.
