The Qian family couldn't stop the Zhou family from moving all the things in the house and leaving in the carriage.

Li Zheng rushed to hear the news, and what he saw was Qian sitting on the ground crying heartbreakingly watching the carriage gradually leave.

Seeing Li Zheng coming, Tian's father and Tian's mother hurriedly dragged the Qian family.

Qian was not as fierce as before, and let his son and daughter-in-law pull her up.

Li Zheng walked in front of the three of them and took out a money bag, but handed it to the Qian family: "This is the twenty taels that Master Zhou put here with me before he left, and it is for you to support your old age." ”

Twenty taels ?!! Tian's father was about to take it in surprise, but Qian took the lead and grabbed it and threw it on the ground, grabbing Li Zheng's arm: "I don't want silver, I don't want silver!" Give him back the money, and you call him back. Come back wow! Tears rolled down his face as he roared.

Father Tian saw that Li Zheng's face changed in pain, but he couldn't bear it, and quickly dragged Qian back to apologize to Li Zheng.

Li Zheng shook his head to show that he didn't mind, and looked at the Qian family to persuade a few words: "Since you sold him to the Zhou family, your mother-son fate has been broken." Now that his family has moved but still left twenty taels of silver to support you, it is already extremely filial, you still want to open up and recognize the reality. He stooped down and picked up the money bag again and handed it over.

Qian reached out and took the money bag, clutched it in his hand and pressed it to his chest, crying very miserably.

Under Li Zheng's hint, Tian's mother hurriedly helped Qian to go home.

Father Tian looked at Li Zheng embarrassedly and thanked him.

Li Zheng sighed: "Go home and persuade your mother, Zhou Dai...... Now that he is Master Zhou, he sold the old mansion with the intention that he will never come back in the future. What did he mean before leaving...... Don't bother him from now on. "At the beginning, the Qian family was forced into a desperate situation, and it was helpless to pass him on to the Zhou family, but he still holds a grudge. Now that he has gained power, he doesn't even recognize the villagers, and he is too selfish and narrow-minded.

Father Tian nodded awkwardly and reassured, said goodbye and left.

Qian fell ill when he got home, Tian's father and Tian's mother had to work in the field and had no time to take care of Qian, so they called Tian Ruyue and Tian Ruxiang to let the two of them choose, either to do housework and cook, or to serve Qian.

The housework in the countryside is very heavy, feeding chickens, ducks and geese, sweeping the floor, going to the river to wash clothes, boiling three meals a day without ready-made water, needing to go to the well to fetch water and bring it back to the kitchen, not to mention that no one has lit the fire when cooking, and one person can be busy with all fours facing the sky.

And although Qian is sick, it is not to the point where she can't get out of bed, compared to the heavy housework, it must be easier to serve her, but she has a bad temper, and beating and scolding people at every turn is not something that anyone can bear. So either one is not an easy task.

Tian Ruyue didn't care which one she chose, so she looked at Tian's mother and said, "Xiang'er is young, she chooses first." ”

Tian's mother praised her with emotion and looked at Tian Ruxiang.

Tian Ruxiang did not hesitate to choose to serve the Qian family.

"Then I'll go to work." Tian Ruyue turned around without doubt and went to sweep the floor first.

Tian's father and Tian's mother worked in the field with confidence, and Tian Ruxiang went to serve the Qian family.

Tian Ruyue finished cleaning the house and went to sweep the yard, and suddenly heard the sound of Qian's scolding from the direction of the north house, and estimated that Tian Ruxiang had suffered, lowered her head and continued to sweep the yard, and the garbage was directly dumped outside the courtyard wall.

Turning around and hearing the pig's hungry scream, he went straight to the kitchen.

Scoop a scoop of chaff and pour it into a bucket, mix it with water, stir well, and then carry the bucket to the pigsty and pour it into the stone trough.

Watching the pig plunge into it and eat happily, he returned to the kitchen with an empty bucket, put down the bucket and went straight to the vegetable garden in the backyard with a kitchen knife, cut a few handfuls of bitter wheat vegetables and returned to the front yard to throw to the chickens, ducks and geese to eat, and filled the dry jug with clean water.

Watching chickens, ducks and geese grab food to eat, the fierce goose pecks the rooster, and the rooster pecks back not to be outdone.

The fight between a goose and a chicken is very interesting, and in the end, the rooster flies to the roof, and the fierce white goose wins!

Not to mention that the rooster is afraid of the big white goose, even the big yellow dog and even people are afraid of it.

It's fierce, and anyone dares to peck it.

Tian Ruyue didn't dare to provoke it, so after watching the play, she turned around and went back to the house to pick up a basket full of dirty clothes and go to the river to wash.

There were other people by the river who were washing clothes, and Tian Ruyue could only stand by and wait when she went late.

Originally, several women were giggling and talking, but when they caught a glimpse of Tian Ruyue standing behind them, they immediately fell silent.

Tian Ruyue was not embarrassed at all, looking into the distance at the green mountains and green waters, and enjoying the peace of this moment in a peaceful mood.

After the others finished washing, it was finally Tian Ruyue's turn, squatting down and learning from the others, picking up the mallet and washing it one by one.

In this era, there is no soap and no laundry detergent, so you can only use soap to scrub clothes.

The clothes that work in the field are very dirty, but the cleaning ability of the soap corner is not very powerful, and even after washing many clothes, the stains are still stubbornly left on them.

The laundry was done entirely by the strength of the arms, and after an hour, all the clothes were washed, and both arms were sore, and the fingers were white and swollen.

Tian Ruyue was so tired that she stood up and threw her arms to look into the distance to catch her breath, at this moment, she deeply missed the automatic washing machine.

Stoop down and pick up the heavy basket and go ashore to go home.

She didn't dare to delay her work, seeing that it was already noon, she had to hurry back to make lunch, otherwise she would only have to eat air when her father and mother came back from work.

As I walked, I saw a person sitting on a hundred-year-old tree.

Take a closer look, huh? How is Tian Duofu?

Seeing him sitting on the grass with his head down and staring at the ground in a daze, he didn't even notice that he was approaching, so he shouted: "Big brother." Seeing him look up blankly, he continued to ask, "Why are you sitting here and not going home?" ”

Tian Duofu seemed to see that the person in front of him was Tian Ruyue, and there was a hint of panic in his expression: "Oh, I'm tired of walking and rest for a while." Seeing the heavy vegetable basket making deep marks on her hand, she took the initiative to reach out and take it.

Tian Duofu was older than her and had more strength than her, but Tian Ruyue was not polite to him.

The two walked under the hundred-year-old tree and walked home side by side.

Tian Ruyue looked at Tian Duofu, who was preoccupied, from time to time, and suddenly asked, "Big brother, are you in trouble outside?" ”

Tian Duofu looked at her and shook his head.

Tian Ruyue frowned when she saw that he refused to speak: "We are relatives and not outsiders, what are you afraid of?" "The last time she came home, she found that he was a little wrong, and this time it was even more wrong, and when she came back, she didn't even mention the food box, could it be ......, "Is it that the tea pet I made was snatched away?"

Tian Duofu suddenly stopped and looked at her with a guilty face: "Sanya, big brother is sorry for you." The steward of the kiln factory found out that I was firing the bowl without permission, and confiscated your tea pet ....... ”

The things that he worked so hard to do were gone, and Tian Ruyue didn't have half of his anger and comforted him instead: "The things are gone, you don't need to feel guilty." I thought you could burn things for free when you worked in the kiln, but it didn't. Blame me for being negligent and not asking you, is it feasible for us to pay for firing things in the future? ”

"No way!" Tian Duofu blurted out his objection.
