Because the time is relatively tight, Tian Shao only adjusted the two kinds of stuffing this time: dried plum cabbage and capers. The meat buns were put on the pot, and the fragrance quickly spread out, and the youngest son of the next-door neighbor Tian Damao shouted to eat the meat when he smelled the fragrance.

Tian Damao's wife couldn't resist her son's entanglement, and she herself wanted to eat meat buns. However, it was impossible for Li Guihua's temperament to please, so she took a pound of rice to the door.

Li Guihua knew her intention and did not refuse, and gave her two plum vegetable dried meat buns with a pound of rice.

Siya was not happy, and shouted loudly: "Mother, our family doesn't have enough to eat, why give it to their family?" ”

After speaking, he also ran into the kitchen to complain to Tian Shao.

Tian Shao had actually heard it earlier, but she didn't interfere in this matter. After all, it's a next-door neighbor, and people don't ask for it in vain, but take things in exchange for refusal, and then refuse it, which is a little unkind.

Li Guihua was a little weak-hearted, stuffed the empty bowl back into Aunt Mei's hand, and said in a low voice: "My eldest girl doesn't allow me to exchange the things at home." Just this time, the next time you want to eat meat buns, you will go to the state-run restaurant to sell them. ”

Aunt Mei still felt a loss, and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely go to the state-run hotel next time to change." ”

At this time, Tian Shao came out of the kitchen and said to Aunt Mei with a smile: "Auntie, you let Xiaocao come over." Wuya said that there is a piece of clothing that she can't wear and wants to wear it for Xiaocao, so you ask her to come and try it. ”

Wuya used to be good with Xiaocao, but this winter when she got a new padded jacket, she wanted to give Xiaocao her worn-out padded jacket to wear. She just came back and saw that Xiaocao was dressed very thinly, although Wuya's clothes were not very warm, but they were better than the clothes Xiaocao was wearing.

Now the old clothes are also treasures, and Aunt Mei stopped complaining when she heard it, and happily went back with the meat buns. After a while, the thin grass came over.

Tian Shao saw that she was wearing four or five shabby autumn clothes, her face was bruised from the cold and her nose was long, she turned her head and said to Wuya: "Fetch a basin of hot water for her to wash her face and hands, and then put your old cotton clothes and cotton pants on her." ”

Xiaocao didn't dare to look up at the big girl, so she just whispered, "Thank you, big girl." ”

After changing her clothes, Tian Shao gave her a plum dried vegetable and meat bun and said, "Eat, go back after eating." ”

Xiaocao was moved, but she was reluctant to eat: "Sister Girl, can I bring it back?" My second sister has never eaten meat buns either, and I want to eat them with her. ”

Tian Shao's nose was a little sour, and he shook his head and said, "You take it back, you and your second sister can't eat." ”

Tian Damao's family is particularly patriarchal, and everything good is close to the two sons. Xiaocao and her two sisters are treated poorly, and it is a big fate to grow up.

Xiaocao paused, then lowered his head and ate in small bites. When she ate the meat, the soup and aroma slowly overflowed her lips, and her tears flowed uncontrollably.

Li Guihua scolded in a low voice: "You dead girl, why did you give the padded jacket to Xiaocao without my consent?" ”

Tian Shao glanced at her and said, "The padded jacket has been worn for six years and changed again and again, and it is not warm for a long time." Wuya likes Xiaocao, and if she wants to help her, she obeys her wishes. ”

Li Guihua didn't pursue the matter again, but also warned Tian Shao that she had plans for everything at home, and she was not allowed to give it away casually.

Tian Shao listened to her chatter, and said helplessly: "Mother, what should I do with the things at home in the future, I asked you first, okay!" ”

That's pretty much it.

After eating the side dishes, Tian Shao asked her to rinse her mouth and gave her a caper bag: "Take it to your second sister to eat!" ”

The second sister of Xiaocao didn't eat this caper bun, and it all fell into the mouths of her two younger brothers. After Wuya found out, she would give Xiaocao food after that, so that she was not allowed to take it home after eating it on the spot.

As soon as lunch was ready, Uncle Li's loud voice sounded outside: "Osmanthus, Dalin, open the door." ”

Siya heard that it was Uncle Li's voice, and happily ran out to open the door, and then the whole family went to the door to greet them. Uncle Li sent Erya back this time, and at the same time brought a lot of things.

Tian Shao saw that Erya was so thin that she was about to lose her shape, and after greeting Uncle Li, he pulled her into the house.

Li Guihua saw that he had brought a bunch of things and couldn't help but say, "Big brother, there is nothing missing at home now, don't send things in the future." There are so many mouths in the family, and Sankui has not married a daughter-in-law, and there are many things that are exchanged for money. ”

Uncle Li scolded with a smile: "This thing is not for you, I gave it to the children to eat." The eldest girl and the third girl study hard, so they need to eat something good to make up for it. ”

As soon as he entered the house, Er Ya took out twelve yuan as if offering a treasure: "Eldest sister, I have earned twelve yuan these days." Eldest sister, this money is given to you, and you can buy more meat and eat it later. ”

Tian Shaocai didn't accept her money, and said: "Big girl, you are still young now, and you should not do such a heavy physical thing, otherwise you will not grow tall." ”

In the past, the family was too poor and had no choice but to let Erya suffer. But now that the family's foreign debts have been paid off, and she also has a job to supplement the family, she is unwilling to do such gravity work again.

Erya said with a smile: "This time I entered the mountain, my aunt and cousin-in-law both said that I had grown a lot taller. Eldest sister, my height is already good, and it doesn't matter if it's not long. ”

In fact, not only Erya, but also the five sisters, including Tian Shao, have grown taller. But after all, she is seventeen years old, and it is not obvious, and the second and third girls are like pulling bamboo shoots, which is very obvious. Li Guihua attributed the credit to eating well, but Tian Shao knew that the root cause was bone broth every once in a while.

Tian Shao saw that she was ignorant, and said helplessly: "Overloading work will not only affect your height but also your lifespan." Our father is overworked, and now his health is not as good as before. I'm tight on money right now, and I'm going to take him to the hospital for a check-up when I have a little more money in a few days. ”

Now even if Tian Shao takes him to Tian Dalin, he will not be willing, so he can only wait for the manuscript fee to be sent and then coax him to go.

Erya's eyes were about to pop out, and she said, "What did you say?" Affects lifespan. ”

Tian Shao said: "If you don't believe it, you can go to the town health center and ask those doctors to see if I am scaring you." ”

Before, Erya followed Tian Dalin to chop wood, but he didn't dare to let him pick too much, and it was fifty or sixty pounds. Jida Dalin didn't stare at the side, she actually helped pick up a hundred catties of charcoal and sell it outside.

Erya was frightened, and hurriedly said, "Eldest sister, then I won't live long." ”

Tian Shao smiled and said with relief: "This time is not long, and it will not be affected." The work at home is not good, but don't do it like in your uncle's house, it hurts your body. ”

How dare Erya do that?

After Tian Shao said this, he smelled the smell on her body and said with disgust: "How many days have you not taken a bath?" Stinks to death, hurry up and wash your hair and take a shower. I made meat buns today, you wash them and eat them. ”

The second girl turned from worry to joy, and said with a smile: "Eldest sister, I'll wash it now." ”

Since waking up in the water, the eldest sister is good at everything, the only bad thing is that she is very particular. In order not to be disliked by her, the family is now very clean inside and out.
