Tian Jianhua is a taciturn man with a bow at the waist, and his hair is also a little silver, and his hands have been rubbing since he saw her, grinning from time to time, as if he had picked up a treasure.

Tian's mother even arranged Ran Jia by her side, holding unused chopsticks to pick all the meat into her bowl, and the plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes and leeks was only placed in front of Ran Jia.

The two babies saw that their eyes were red and their mouths were pursed, and they lowered their heads and nibbled on chopsticks and spoons, but they didn't ask for it.

Ran Jia reluctantly pressed Tian Mu's arm, "I don't eat much," she said as she pushed the meat back to the plate, leaving only three slices of lean meat, and pushed the scrambled eggs with tomatoes and leeks mixed with sugar to the center of the table, "What our family used to eat, I will eat with it." ”

"You," Tian Mu's lips squirmed, her face turned sideways, her shoulders shrugged slightly, and she let out a slight choked sob.

"It's because my parents don't have the ability," Tian's father patted his wife's shoulder, sighed lightly, and said: "Okay, the conditions of our family are here, and we may not be able to let your daughter eat meat at once, but we will definitely not treat you badly." ”

Tian's mother cried even more, and she couldn't help but hug Ran Jia tightly into her arms, "My daughter, you miss your mother, woo woo ......"

Ran Jia was also infected with red eyes, she hesitantly put her hand on Tian's mother's back, patted it gently, and waited for Tian's mother to cry until her voice was hoarse, and then she said helplessly: "Aren't I coming back?" You drink some water first. ”

Tian Xiaolan immediately poured a glass of water and handed it over, Tian Mu let go of Ran Jia, took out a handkerchief and wiped her face, wiped her nose embarrassedly, took the water and drank it in one gulp.

"I, I'm so happy, let's eat, you will ask your mother for a leave of absence later, and your mother will talk to your third sister at home in the afternoon," the corners of Tian's mother lips have always been raised, beckoning everyone to eat, deliberately put a few fat slices into the bowl of the two good grandchildren, and sandwiched a few large chopsticks and eggs.

She personally poured some wine for Tian's father, Tian Dahai, Tian Daliang and herself, and everyone had a lively meal.

Tian Mu's craftsmanship is good, because of the arrival of Ran Jia, she is willing to put the ingredients, so that the original taste of meat, eggs and vegetables is completely highlighted, and the beauty is so beautiful that people squint.

After eating, everyone drank some water and went their separate ways without saying a few words.

Tian's father and the fourth Tian Daliang both work in the shoe factory and are regular employees, Tian's father is 36 yuan a month, and Tian Daliang has just become an apprentice for only 18 yuan a month.

Tian Dahai works in the brewery, replacing Tian Mu's original position, and now he is 21 yuan a month. Liu Lele is a female worker in a textile factory, earning 20 yuan a month.

Tian's mother is also a little lucky, she inadvertently picked up a bag of money, and when she was hesitating to stay, the original owner returned, when Tian's mother was a good person who picked up gold. The original owner happened to be a relative of a steward of the brewery, and said two good words for Tian's mother.

After Tian's mother gave up her job to her eldest son, she was able to continue to work as a temporary worker in the factory, receiving 15 yuan a month.

Ran Jia's sister Liu Xiaofeng, who did not meet and marry, is also a female worker in a textile factory, who is a high Chinese teacher and is a team leader in the textile factory. Liu Xiaofeng is also good-looking, although she does not have such an earth-shattering elegance as Ran Jia, it is definitely the same existence as a factory flower, plus she has a high education, and she found a small director of a state-owned store and lived on the upper floor, although the area is not large, but fortunately, her in-laws are open-minded and allow them to live with two children.

The youngest Liu Xiaolan is fourteen years old, thinking about the first year of junior high school, and will be promoted to the second year of junior high school in September.

has the stepping stone of graduating from high school, and Liu Xiaolan is not worried about finding a job.

After coaxing the two babies to sleep and chattering the family, Tian's mother asked, "Girl, what are your plans?" ”

Ran Jia replied without hesitation: "I want to continue to review and take the college entrance examination in July." ”

"It's okay, it's less than two months, you don't have to think about anything, just review it at home," Tian's mother nodded in support, and said with relief on her face: "Although my mother gave birth to five of you, three of whom are girls, but you are very smart than those two boys." When they went to school, I forced them to read it with a burning stick, and both of them couldn't go to life after finishing elementary school, and they only knew a few words, who wanted them?

If the college entrance examination resumes a few years earlier, your sister may be able to take the Kyoto Normal exam.

The college entrance examination has resumed, and the teachers are popular, they take a few classes a day, sit in the office and drink tea and knit sweaters, and they can still have twenty or thirty a month! ”

"My sister is not very old, she can take the college entrance examination together, how good is it to be a teacher when she comes out of college?" Ran Jia replied.

"Girl, you can't think like that. Your sister got married and had a baby, and now she is the team leader of a textile factory. If you are admitted to the college entrance examination and study in college for three or four years, who will take care of the children? Lost a job in a textile mill? After three or four years of reading, maybe your sister will be promoted to a junior director. Tian Mu shook her head, she patted Ran Jia's hand, "Individuals have their own way of living. Your sister's in-laws are good to her, not because she has a good and stable job, where can they pay so much attention to her, and allow them to live alone on the upper floor. ”

Ran Jia hummed and did not continue to persuade, Tian's mother was right, she has her own way of living, she can't interfere in other people's lives, and it is a good attitude for people to be content and happy.

Tian's mother asked Ran Jia if she had any difficulties in reviewing the college entrance examination, whether she needed materials or registering for classes, etc.

"That's not necessary, I've brought all the books with me, it's enough for me to read."

Tian's mother stood up, looked at her house, pointed to the house where the curtain was hung and said, "Our family is not big, you live in this house tonight, and let your brother go to the furniture factory tomorrow to find a wooden bed." Ran Jia also stood up, the room was very distinctive of this era, a solid wood table and two armchairs, the wall hung with the leader's photo, two enamel cups with paint written on the people, rattan skin kettle, and a wooden shelf for washing at the door, on which were placed enamel basins and towels.

There was also a folded dining table and a stack of matza by the wall, and a wooden bed, which had few things, but because the room was not large, it did not look empty.

The two rooms divided by the Tian family are not small, about 30 square meters, and the middle is separated by red bricks and cement on the map. In this way, it became four small rooms, the one where Tian Daliang slept for dinner, and the one inside was the room where Tian's mother said that Ran Jia should be the old couple for a temporary night's rest.

A large room next door was not only separated, but also opened another door, one was Tian Dahai and his wife's, and the other was Tian Xiaolan's.

There are very few things at home, beds, boxes, cabinets, tables, chairs, but the neatness of the house makes Ran Jia's heart slowly fall. She looked at Tian Xiaolan's room, the window was divided into two halves, and under it was a large wooden table, on which were neatly placed many books from junior high school and elementary school, a chair with a backrest, a small bed, and two wooden boxes.

"I'll live in this house," the bed was a little smaller and only one meter two wide, covered with washed sheets that were almost devoid of patterns, a tattered towel quilt, and a yellowed mosquito net supported by bamboo poles on top. The situation at home is like this, and she doesn't have to choose.

"It's okay, Xiaolan, this girl is stinky and beautiful, she insists on taking a bath every day in May, and the sheets and quilts are washed once a week. You squeeze in with her tonight, and we'll change to a big bed tomorrow! Tian's mother breathed a sigh of relief, and her heart was a little sour, if it weren't for their lack of ability, the girl would still be soaking in the honey nest. The girl is sensible and considerate of them, but she is distressed and panicked, and always wants to be doubly good to her with her heart and lungs.

"Well, I won't clean up my things first, and when your brother finds the closet back tomorrow, let's tidy it up," Tian's mother muttered, and then pulled Ran Jia to their house to talk.

It's all Tian's mother who is talking, Ran Jia listened patiently, and occasionally when asked, she also answered simply.

"Is Jianhua's family here?" A shrill voice came from outside the house.

Tian's mother sighed heavily, she stood up and instructed Ran Jia: "Girl, you can sleep in the house by reading a book, and Mom will go outside to talk to someone." ”

Not everyone is as busy as the Tian family, most of them are men who earn money outside, and women take their children to do housework, and after doing it for a long time, they can also take out a whole piece of time, pick up some scattered work and get together to talk about the east and the west.

After everyone cleaned up, they all went to Tian's house to inquire about the news.

Tian's mother knew this well, and sent everyone away in a few words, and generously told everyone that her daughter was preparing to review for the university entrance examination. This sentence has a lot of information, and it can at least dispel half of everyone's careful thoughts.

Everyone has seen Ran Jia, or heard from others, that is a person who can go to college at a glance, but it is not a person who they are running around all day long to make a living. They took advantage of the excitement and returned from defeat, thinking that the Tian family was about to develop, and it was a certain advantage to grow well.

Ran Jia lives a very regular life, she pays attention to physical health, ensures sleep every day, and eats in moderation. This will be sleepy, she didn't pay too much attention to it, and fell asleep on the bed of Tian's father and Tian's mother.

When she woke up, she felt a lot more comfortable, she was startled on one side of her head, and the two dolls were quietly looking at her with big, beautiful eyes on the edge of the bed. Seeing that she woke up, they all showed their little teeth together, smiled happily, and called the second aunt crisply.

Ran Jia bent her eyebrows in response, she got up and pulled her hair and walked out.

She slept for a long time, the sun was setting in the west, and the chimneys of every house began to smoke, and Tian's mother was also cooking dinner in the kitchen.

"Auntie, this is what Grandma Lu gave you to eat. It's sweet, I ate one with my brother! Grandma washed it, and my aunt just ate it. Tian Quankang held the green and white melon in his small hand and handed it over with a treasure.

Tian Quanjie also repeated with his brother in a milky voice, "Auntie eat, it's sweet!" ”

Her heart softened for a moment.
