After dinner, Tian Xinzhuang first unloaded the two sacks of artichoke and a small bundle of licorice pulled by the donkey cart.

Looking at the two sacks of artichoke and a small bundle of licorice, Tian Xinmiao's eyes swelled with moisture again.

Back to her hut, Tian Xinmiao asked: "Brother, why did you still pull two sacks of artichokes, I remember that there are not many at home, and those idle fields should be planted with artichokes recently, what can I do if there are no seeds!" ”

Tian Xinzhuang glanced at Tian Xinmiao's simple hut, and felt a little sad in his heart.

"You don't have to worry about the artichoke, my brother will have a way."

His tone paused slightly, and he looked at Tian Xinmiao with some distress, "Miao Miao, isn't this family also rich?" ”

"At the beginning, my brother listened to Sister Layue, who was dragged back to her parents' house in the village, and asked her to inquire about them if there were any suitable brothers and sisters to change relatives, and I was in a hurry, so I found Aunt Cui who came back to my parents' house."

"I heard that Haocheng is a high school graduate, and his father is also a carpenter, so I think his family's life should be very good, but, but, although the house in this family is a little better than ours, it doesn't look like a family with a good life."

Tian Xinmiao sniffed hard, and tried to suppress the tears that were about to fall from her eyes, "Brother, how can you look at the house, they can get so much bride price at the beginning, how can the family be poor?" ”

"It's good not to be poor, it's good not to be poor, but this house—"

"Brother, you are just like everyone else, the house is just a place to live, there is no need to waste money on it."

"Besides, their family provides for a lot of students, and the money is used to study, you have provided for me for so many years, and I don't know that going to school is very expensive."

Thinking of the fact that in the past few years, in order to provide for Tian Xinmiao to go to school, he has tried various ways to make money, and the suspicion in Tian Xinzhuang's eyes has faded a lot, but he is more distressed.

"It's all my brother's fault, if it weren't for my age, my father wouldn't have let you go to school."

Hearing Tian Xinzhuang's words, Tian Xinmiao's mind couldn't help but flash through the reason that really made her decide not to go to school anymore.

I remember that one night in the first month of this year, she came out to the toilet, and just heard her father and mother mention herself, so she quietly squatted under the window and listened.

The girls in the mountains all married early, her sister, who was two years older than her, should have married a long time ago, and her brother should have married a daughter-in-law a long time ago.

My father and mother decided to use my sister to change my brother's parents, but my sister was always reluctant to change my parents, arguing with my father and mother, and she was always reluctant to change relatives.

Last year, he ran away with the contractor who came to pull the electricity.

Although Tian Xinmiao is young at home, her father seems to be too patriarchal, and when she gave birth to her, she thought that she could add a boy, but she didn't expect to give birth to a girl.

They were going to give her away, but her brother, who was more than six years old, refused to give her away.

My brother was only in the third grade, but he dropped out of school because the family had no money.

My sister is only in the first grade.

When she reached the school grade, her thirteen-year-old brother insisted on taking her to school.

My father had no choice, so he said that as long as he could scrape together enough money for her to go to school, he would let her go to school.

In this way, from elementary school to junior high school, and then from junior high school to high school, my brother dug thorn roots, licorice, and scorpions, and when he was older, he went out to find work, and tried to save enough for her tuition every year.

However, as the elder brother got older and the family was too poor, this daughter-in-law became a problem.

My sister ran away with someone, and my father and mother really had no idea, so I thought about letting her change my brother's relatives.
