Chapter 39: The Industrious Tan Ran
On the second day, after Tan Yu and Tan Cheng went to the school, when Tan's sister-in-law was about to go out, Tan Ran stopped her.
"Uncle, take me with you, I can work too."
Tan's sister-in-law looked at Tan Ran's thin arms and legs like bamboo poles, she was really worried that the child was blown away by a gust of wind, but she was also worried that the child would be bored at home alone every day, so she took her after thinking about it, and let her watch and play on the edge of the field later.
Tanjia Village is surrounded by mountains, there are few fields, and each household is only divided into three or five acres of land, and on weekdays, they also plant some rice and vegetables for daily expenses, and the family's big expenses still rely on men to hunt in the mountains or go out to work like Uncle Tan to make more money.
Today, Tan's sister-in-law is mainly to remove weeds and insect pests for wheat seedlings in a field, Tan's sister-in-law took a hoe to hoe grass, took a small sickle and pointed out a relatively small piece of land to Tan Ran, and asked her to clean up the weeds in that field, in order to prevent her from pulling out the wheat seedlings as weeds, and specially pointed out the characteristics of the wheat seedlings to her, Tan Ran listened carefully.
Tan's sister-in-law looked in Tan Ran's direction from time to time while neatly turning over the ground under her feet, and found that the little niece was quite fast, and it was estimated that the child should be going through the motions, and she didn't pick up a few grasses, and her subordinates were even faster, and she would go and turn over the land again later.
By the time she's done digging over the ground here, she'll be there, good guy!
I saw that the wheat seedlings were clean and clean, there was not a single weed, and there was a slip of green grass neatly arranged in the field, and the interval between the two palms was not big or small, and the rows were opposite, and it was inexplicably a little joyful.
Sister-in-law Tan saw that the time was almost noon, and the two of them sat under a thick poplar tree with dry food and rested for a while.
Soon a peasant woman came over in twos and threes, and they all took out their own dry food, and everyone looked at the girl who was born and asked one after another.
Sister-in-law Tan introduced with a smile: "This is the only daughter of my sister-in-law, only twelve years old, and today is the first time to come to the field with me." ”
A chubby woman said: "Ru Niang, you are really willing, this girl is thin and weak, and you still let the child come out on a cold day." As he spoke, he took out a cornmeal nest head from his pocket and put it in Tan Ran's hand, grinning and said, "Baby, I am also your aunt, try to see if your uncle's nest is better than your aunt." ”
Tan Ran held the head of the nest and was amused by the hearty woman: "Thank you, uncle." ”
The woman looked at Tan Ran lovingly, and said to Tan's sister-in-law: "It can be regarded as a fulfillment of your dream of having a daughter, look at how well-behaved this child is." ”
Tan's sister-in-law was proud: "No, she is sensible and can work, let her pull weeds in the wheat seedling field in the morning, I just let her play, she is good, she is all cleaned up, better than me." ”
Several women next to them laughed again, looked at Tan Ran, and said that the sister-in-law of the Tan family can't treat female dolls like this.
Tan Ran bit the head of the nest, chewed it carefully, and listened slowly, I really didn't expect that the laughter and scolding between women could be so vivid.
Inexplicably felt that someone was staring at him, Tan Ran frowned and glanced around, and found that there was a mother-in-law in a brown jacket staring at her and looking her up and down, and when she saw that she found it, she didn't hide it even more, her eyes were full of disgust.
Tan Ran was confused, she didn't know this person, did she?
