Chapter 7 Busy
Out of the kitchen, Tian Yue'er honestly followed her mother-in-law Zhang back to the room, Tian Tian angrily walked while taking the underground as a vent, stepping on every step extremely heavily, and finally couldn't help but explode in front of the door of her house, but in order not to make noise to the mother who had just given birth and was still very weak, and the father who had to accompany her mother after a day of work, Tian Tian was angry but still lowered his voice: "Sister, how can you say that milk can be biased to this extent?" Just because she Tian Yue'er is going to see her in-laws in the city tomorrow, just because her Tian Yue'er's in-laws are good, do you want to be connived at here? Let her bully people like this? β
"Milk, this is not connivance, it is just to save face for yourself."
"How is this not connivance? A moment ago, he said that he would punish her for kneeling for one night, but because of a few words from the eldest aunt, she would not be punished? β
"Didn't the milk say, wait for Yue'er to come back from the county seat, and then punish her."
"Then why don't we wait until she comes back?"
Seeing Tian Tian so excited, Tian Rou couldn't help laughing, this smile calmed Tian Tian's anxious heart a little, she knew that the eldest sister didn't laugh easily, if she smiled like this, she really felt happy, but ...... She didn't understand what was so fun about it.
A month, I feel tired and panicked when I think about it, there are so many people in the family, just choking wood and cooking rice is enough, not to mention fetching water, beating pigweed, feeding chickens, pulling weeds and loosening soil for some vegetable seedlings planted in the yard, etc., I can't finish it all day and night, and there is no stop at all!
Tian Rou smiled and touched the corners of Tian Tian's mouth, and her eyes showed distress: "Actually, my milk is soft-hearted, and she is indirectly helping us, you stupid girl hasn't reacted yet." β
"Where did she help us, she obviously punished us to do housework for a month, and thought of ...... Cooking rice? Sister, what do you mean......"
Seeing that Tian Tian finally understood, Tian Rou smiled and nodded, then turned around and entered the house, but Tian Tian was standing in place, a little unable to digest this information.
Indeed, according to the meaning of the eldest sister, this month is the time for the mother's confinement to raise her body, if the housework at home is all done by their sisters, the mother's food will indeed be controlled, and the same will not be less, before the grandmother dragged the uncle to send the New Year's bacon and two pieces hung on the top of the kitchen, except for the first day of the new year, the milk cut a piece down to give the big guy a tooth sacrifice, has not been willing to move, and her original words at that time, it is indeed to say:" It was reserved for the third family to make up for their bodies during confinement. β
And the temperament of the eldest aunt and the second uncle, not to mention the milk, is Tian Tian, who has just come to this world, and he also has a full understanding, no one wants to be lazy with them, because they are too lazy to compare with you at all! So if you and your eldest sister take over the housework, won't your mother's side be mean?
Thinking of this, Tian Tian couldn't help but turn around and look towards the east house where the oil lamp was still on, and on the papier-mΓ’chΓ© window where the lights were flickering, she saw the shadow of her milk, and at this moment, her little heart also felt a little warm inexplicably.
Actually, the milk is not eccentric, she just can't breathe in one breath, her mouth is hard and soft-hearted!
Thinking of this, Tian Tian's mood also improved, it doesn't matter if he works hard or tired, since he has come to this home, as this little girl named Tian Tian, she has to live well in this family, not to mention, the eldest sister and the newborn pair of little sisters are very loving families, aren't they?
It's just that...... At this juncture, we still have to think about whether there is any way to improve the situation at home......
Tian Tian and Tian Rou squeezed into a bed, because they thought about the way of modern rural farming, they were completely sleepy for a while, and they didn't feel it when they didn't sleep, they kept a position for a long time, and they were uncomfortable, and they wanted to turn over and were afraid of disturbing the eldest sister, she could only hold it so uncomfortably, and she slowly fell asleep, in the dream she was in a very big garden, but she couldn't see what was planted in the garden, only knew that there were many, many fruits, she jumped up and picked one, I rubbed it and put it in my mouth and took a hard bite, and the taste was so sweet to my heart......
"Tian Tian, get up......"
A slightly familiar voice came from her ears, and she waved away the hand that was gently shaking her arm: "Xiao Ke, let me sleep a little longer......"
"It's time to get up and make breakfast, what's the point?"
The sound in her ears again made Tian Tian wake up most of the time, she immediately opened her eyes, looked at the eldest sister standing at the head of the bed, blinked her eyes and seemed to be a little ignorant, only to see Tian Rou put her clothes on her bent legs, patted and said: "Hurry up, although I can make breakfast alone, but it is the two of us who will be punished, don't let people gossip." β
It wasn't until this sentence reached her ears that Tian Tian completely woke up from that modern dream, she was full of excitement, and immediately put on her clothes and pants with her hands and feet, jumped out of bed to tie the outer layer of skirt, skillfully twisted her hair into two braids, washed her face with a damp cloth, simply washed her mouth with water, and followed Tian Rou out of the door.
Tian Rou carried the firewood into the kitchen, Tian Tian took a small basin of water and put it next to the small vegetable patch in the yard, fished out the hem of the skirt, and deftly twisted it into a twist shape, and then tucked the tail into the belt tied around the waist, and then stepped into it carefully with his little feet, picked a few pockets of slightly larger vegetables, and carefully retreated, just sat there and washed it, and put the vegetables in the bamboo vegetable basket next to him after washing for the first time, and sprinkled the water in the basin evenly into the vegetable field. Then he turned around and went to the well not far behind him, poured water from the bucket, and in a short time washed and picked the vegetables, and brought them to the kitchen in a vegetable basket.
Tian Rou saw her come in, so she left from the stove, and gave her the small bench in front of the fire door, Tian Rou washed a few handfuls of rice, filled a few large scoops of water and poured it into the pot, and when the water boiled, she threw the washed rice into it, and when the rice in the pot boiled into rice paste, she poured all the rice from last night in the steamer, together with the green vegetables that Tian Tian had washed just now, and waited until the pot rolled for a while, emitting a burst of vegetable fragrance, and Tian Rou poured some leftovers from last night.
The soup and rice, which was originally light and without a little oil and water, suddenly had some oil stars.
Because of Tian Yue'er's relationship, Tian Tian didn't eat at all last night, and when he smelled the fragrance of rice, he said to Tian Rou with a smile: "Sister, I only know when I smell the smell, I have been hungry for a long time." β
"Then you will eat first, and I will bring food to my mother."
"Good!"
Tian Tian smiled, this time she didn't rob Tian Rou, not just because she was really hungry, but because she knew that the eldest sister actually had something to say to her mother, although she would also say those words, but ...... Some overly mature words really shouldn't come out of the mouth of a six-year-old girl.
Probably because of last night's incident, the meal in the morning was very quiet, although everyone was still strained, but for Tian Tian, it was really a rare thing to have breakfast so quietly, especially when he saw Tian Yue'er on her chin, although there were no tooth marks, but there were still some bruises, and her heart was very cool.
After eating dinner, Tian Tian turned to the back of the house, took the broken basin containing chicken food, mixed it with coarse chaff and some slaughtered grass leaves, and then stirred it out with water.
After finishing here, Tian Rou also washed the dishes and chopsticks, the two went to feed the pigs together, and then went to the house to see their mother, and then they took out the clothes that their father and mother had changed, and then went to their grandmother's room to get clothes, and went to the small river at the mouth of the back village together, washed the clothes for nearly an hour, and when they came back, it was time to make lunch.
A busy morning, just like that, Tian Tian wiped the fine beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: This busy month has just begun!
Because the eldest aunt was going to take Tian Yue'er to the county seat, the lunch meal reduced the amount of the two of them, and as soon as the meal was ready, the old man Tian walked into the house with a coldness, and said with a smile to Tian Rou and Tian Tian: "Your father said that he wanted to plow the weeds in Tiankan, good afternoon, plow the field, you two finish eating, see who sends the food over." β
