Chapter 47: Borrowing Clothes
Tian Shao saw Sanya take the dishes and chopsticks to the kitchen cautiously, and said with a smile: "I'll clean up the dishes and chopsticks, you go to take the test, Siya and Wuya see what they have learned in the past few days, do you remember?" ”
Sanya was worried that washing the dishes would stain her clothes, and when she heard this, she responded.
Li Guihua pushed Tian Shao away and said, "You go to my house and get a kerosene lamp and go back to the house to read!" ”
Before, she thought that Tian Shao couldn't pass the exam, so she didn't support it, but now that Director Li attaches so much importance to her mother, she feels that her daughter may not be able to really get in, otherwise others will not value her so much.
"No, you're tired for a good day."
Tian Dalin pulled Li Guihua and said, "Listen to the big girl, you just sit here and rest." ”
Although it is a pity that he does not have a son, the filial piety of these five daughters is one by one, and he feels that all these years of hard work are worth it.
Tian Shao was very satisfied with Tian Dalin's attitude, and felt that after she was admitted to the textile factory, she might be able to grasp the right to speak.
The husband and wife were bowing their heads and talking, when someone outside suddenly shouted loudly: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law......"
Li Guihua looked at the woman standing outside the fence with a basket, and deliberately sighed: "My wife didn't come out of the west today, and the third brother and sister actually came to the door of our house!" ”
Tian Dalin has three brothers, and Grandma Tian doesn't like the eldest son to favor the two younger ones. Tian Dalin reached the age of marrying a wife, and Grandma Tian didn't want to pay a bride price, so she wanted him to marry the daughter of the captain of the next village, who was not good-looking and lame. Tian Dalin was reluctant, but it happened that he met Li Guihua at that time, and they fell in love with each other for the first time. Grandma Ketian firmly disagreed with this family business. In the end, Li Guihua compromised and said that she could not have a bride price, but she also put forward a condition, that is, after getting married, the family must be separated.
Unexpectedly, after getting married, Grandma Tian swept Tian Dalin out of the house, land and money were not distributed to the husband and wife. It was the former captain who came forward and divided the land into the husband and wife according to the head. Grandma Tian did too much to make Tian Dalin completely chilled, and she was also worried that her bad reputation would affect her daughter's marriage, so she showed up to give some food during the New Year's holidays, and did not come to the door at other times.
As for Li Guihua, when her mother-in-law died, she never came to the door. And Grandma Tian is patriarchal, not only did she never give the five eldest sisters a good look, but she always told the villagers that Li Guihua was a hen that didn't lay eggs. In this way, the two brothers Tian Erlin and Tian Sanlin always accused Tian Dalin of being unfilial, although they are brothers, the relationship is not as good as that of the villagers who are close. is also the same, Li Guihua has never had a good face when she sees them.
Ma Xiaomei said: "Big brother and sister-in-law, let me in first, it's hard to say when you stand at the door." ”
As she said this, she deliberately lifted the basket in her hand, revealing five white eggs inside.
Li Guihua wanted to know what medicine she was selling in her gourd, so she opened the door and let her in. I don't want Ma Xiaomei to stare at Er Ya and San Ya as soon as she enters the yard, it's really a waste of good things to wear such good clothes for these two ugly girls.
Because of the bad relationship between the two families, the sisters didn't pay attention to Ma Xiaomei.
Li Guihua said impatiently: "If you have something, say that there is a fart quickly, put it down, put it down and get out of it for me." ”
Ma Xiaomei licked her face and said, "Big brother and sister-in-law, this is not someone who told Feng'er that they will see each other after the summer harvest." The family is poor and has no good clothes, so I want to borrow Erya's clothes to wear when Feng'er sees each other. ”
A few days ago, she was worried about this, but today she heard that Tian Shao brought back a large bag of clothes from the county seat, and she was moved. After hesitating for a long time, he decided to come over to try his luck, knowing that Li Guihua was not good at talking, and deliberately took five eggs. Fortunately, this dress looks good.
When Erya heard this, she refused: "Don't borrow." ”
Li Guihua knew that it was no good for this woman to come to the door, she sneered and said: "Your niece didn't marry into the county seat, and she didn't have good clothes to borrow from your niece!" ”
If it is a good relationship, Li Guihua may agree, after all, seeing each other is a matter of a lifetime, but Tian Erlin and Tian Sanlin don't want to touch their benefits.
Ma Xiaomei said: "If you don't borrow it in vain, just borrow it for one day, and I'll give ten eggs." ”
Li Guihua was very interested in borrowing clothes for eggs, she said: "This dress is really good material, ten eggs are too little, at least twenty eggs." ”
Ma Xiaomei screamed: "Why don't you go and rob it? ”
Li Guihua said twice: "I don't want to, I don't want to leave quickly." ”
Ma Xiaomei wanted to leave, but she couldn't look at each other and was still wearing dusty clothes, so that the man had to look down on his daughter. She gritted her teeth and said, "Let Erya stand up and show me this dress." ”
Erya was originally unhappy, but borrowing twenty eggs a day would not be repulsed, so she stood up very cooperatively. She used to wear coarse cloth clothes, which were bright and soft, and very comfortable.
Ma Xiaomei stepped forward and touched it, and made sure that it was really good and agreed: "These are five eggs, and the rest will be given to you on the day I get the clothes." But it has to be as clean and bright as it is now, or not. ”
I said this because I was worried that my clothes would get dirty or wrinkled when I borrowed them.
Li Guihua agreed.
Ma Xiaomei swept around and said, "Sister-in-law, where is the eldest girl?" ”
She also wanted to ask what was going on with the female clerk of the textile factory? If the eldest girl is really good friends with the female officer, she may be able to help buy a cloth or something in the future.
Li Guihua rolled her eyelids and said very unceremoniously: "It's okay to leave quickly, I'm busy here!" ”
Ma Xiaomei saw that the eldest girl couldn't help it, so she went back after giving the eggs to Li Guihua.
The five eggs were confiscated and put in the kitchen cupboard. Then she said to Tian Shao: "Reading costs brains, take twenty eggs to the county seat first." Take two supplements a day. When I'm done, I'll ask your dad to deliver it. ”
Tian Shaoying asked after getting down: "Mother, will the girls in the village borrow clothes to wear when they see each other?" ”
Li Guihua said with a smile: "Not only do you look at each other, but many people will borrow clothes when they get married. Our family used to be poor and no one came to the door, but this time it was also stained with the light of Director Li. ”
Tian Shao understands that he is all poor.
Seeing that he was about to go to sleep, Li Sankui couldn't bear it anymore when he saw that Tian Shao hadn't moved, and said, "Cousin, didn't you say that you wanted to give the soda to the second and third girls to drink?" Why don't you give them a drink? ”
Li Guihua reacted extremely quickly and asked, "What soda?" ”
Li Sankui slammed his mouth and savored the taste: "Soda is a very good water." Sister-in-law, Officer Li gave me and my cousin a bottle, and my cousin took a sip and said that she would bring it back for her cousins to drink. ”
Tian Dalin knew about this soda, and explained on the side: "It is a very expensive drink, and a bottle seems to cost five or six cents." ”
Five or six cents can buy a bag of salt, but he is reluctant to buy it.
Siya looked at Tian Shao's eyes and asked anxiously, "Sister, where is the soda?" I want to drink. ”
Tian Shao forgot about it in a hurry, she went into the house and took out the soda for the four sisters to drink in turn.
After drinking, Siya held the bottle and licked it and said, "It's so delicious, big sister, when can I drink this soda again?" ”
Li Guihua couldn't help but scold again when she heard this: "What to drink, you don't earn enough to buy a bottle of soda in a day." ”
Tian Shaowaner said: "Mother, a bottle of soda is six points, but the bottle can be refunded by three points, and you can return it wherever you want." ”
As soon as she heard this, Li Guihua immediately put the bottle away, and Tian Shao smiled secretly.
