Tian Jiujiu's eyes were red from crying, and he suddenly heard a slightly hoarse female voice, speaking standard Mandarin that was rare in the local area, and suddenly raised his head.

I saw Ni Bingyan standing in front of him with a red face.

Behind her, there was her assistant, and a videographer with a video camera.

Seeing the cameraman, Tian Jiujiu turned around quickly like a frightened deer and turned his back to them.

But he has great self-esteem and doesn't want others to see his embarrassed appearance.

Ni Bingyan hurriedly asked the cameraman to turn off the machine.

Yu Guang caught a glimpse of the cameraman turning off the machine, and the machine was no longer on his shoulder, but was carried in his hand, Tian Jiujiu turned around and said hello to Ni Bingyan.

"Sister Bingbing, hello!"

The girl had just cried, and her voice was very nasal, but she was articulate and not the kind of person who cowered.

Ni Bingyan walked over and sat down at the other end of the grain pole.

"Hey! If you are tired of walking, borrow your treasure land to rest. ”

"I'll move you a stool!"

Tian Jiu made a gesture to get up, but Ni Bingyan had already sat down.

Duanmuli and the cameraman also found a stone not far away and sat down.

Tian Jiujiu had no choice but to sit back.

Ni Bingyan was not surprised that she knew herself.

Because Tian Qiushui told her yesterday that as soon as the school entered the door, there was a bulletin board with her photo posted on it, telling every child that they could have such good learning conditions because Ni Bingyan donated a lot of money.

Whenever Ni Bingyan won an award, or did something positive, the school teacher would talk to the classmates in the class.

Even sometimes the school holds an essay contest, and will use her deeds as the title for students to express their opinions.

This is also the reason why Tian Qiushui never chases stars, but when she meets her on the street, she can recognize her.

Seeing her cramped face, Ni Bingyan reminded again: "Your rice is going to be mushy!" ”

Tian Jiujiu came back to his senses, didn't care about greeting her, stood up suddenly, wrapped the iron pot ear on the stove with a rag, took it to the sand pile on the side and sat down, and quickly lifted the kettle on the side and put it on the stove.

But he planned to use the embers in the stove to boil some boiling water to drink.

Lowered his head and stuffed a handful of firewood into the stove, moved the iron sheet, and blocked the stove, Tian Jiucai looked at Ni Bingyan embarrassedly, looking hungry and embarrassed to eat alone.

"We've eaten, you don't care, you eat yours."

The smell of wine and meat on them could be smelled from afar, and Tian Jiujiu did not shirk, he really took the bowl and served himself a bowl of potato stewed rice.

"Isn't it Qingming Ancestor Worship today? You didn't go? ”

Ni Bingyan knows that the people in this village are all passed down from the same ancestor, all surnamed Tian, and the atmosphere is also very good on weekdays.

Tian Jiujiu's face immediately turned red.

But she chose to tell the truth anyway.

"I'm poor and can't afford to cook good food, so I'm embarrassed to eat other people's."

The so-called long table banquet is a family out of a few dishes, take out the big guys to eat together, in the Shu dialect, called a tie, in the words of the trend, almost the AA system.

In this case, for the sake of their own face, every household will prepare carefully and take out the delicious food at home.

Tian Jiujiu couldn't afford to buy meat, so she couldn't let people eat her potatoes, so she went to eat other people's meat.

As long as she shows up in the dam, even if she only eats the potatoes she brought, others will find an excuse to divide the meat for her.

She doesn't want to take advantage of people.

Probably afraid that Ni Bingyan would think too much about the people in the village, she was embarrassed to explain:

"I grew up eating hundreds of meals since I was a child, and the tuition fee was also made up for me by the people in the village, I don't want to take advantage of it......

It is the time when the body is growing, and the half-grown children are hungry for meat, but she can control herself.

Ni Bingyan couldn't help but think highly of her.

After the two talked, Ni Bingyan called out her name according to her situation, Tian Jiujiu was very moved, and the conversation box was opened.

But it was the school that organized students to write a letter to her, and Tian Jiujiu also wrote it.

Because Tian Jiujiu is also an orphan, Ni Bingyan has a deep impression of her.

At that time, she was still very envious of Tian Jiujiu.

Even if her parents left early, the family was thin, and there were no other close direct elders, the people in the village still raised her well, and did not let her live on the streets, or sent her to a welfare home.

said that they were all surnamed Tian, and they couldn't afford to lose that person, so why wasn't it because they were kind-hearted?

You must know that this village is not rich, the people are thriving, and they are barely able to feed their own children, but they are willing to give her a bite to eat.

At that time, Tian Jiujiu wrote a small incident in a letter, saying that when someone in the village always bought meat to eat, she pretended not to finish it, brought her a small bowl with a few pieces, and asked her to help eat it, even if she learned that other people's families eat meat, she walked around that family.

What makes Ni Bingyan even more memorable is that the village did not occupy her land because there were no adults in her family, but helped cultivate it when she was young, and then moved the food to her home.

"This was originally my home, when my father treated my mother, he sold the village to the third uncle's family, they have many children, the children are older and get married and have children, they can't live, and then my father is gone, the third uncle saw that I had no place to live, so he took me home. My family has land, I can farm, I was embarrassed to live in their house, so they let me live on the first floor. Since then, the third uncle has never raised livestock again.

"We have very low tuition fees for primary school here, so as long as you can endure it, you can go to school. I got up before dawn every day, first went to work in the fields for a while, and then ran to school, afraid that my shoes would wear out, so I learned to make straw sandals with my third uncle.

"In addition to my own rations, I sold the rest of my harvest to pay for tuition, and every time someone collected it at a high price, saying that there were many people in my family and that my family did not have enough to eat.

"The people in the stockade took pity on me, and often took advantage of my absence to help me plough the land, and even said that the oxen had gone off the road and accidentally walked into my field. In fact, I know that they just want to be nice to me, but they are afraid that I have high self-esteem.

"When I was in the sixth grade, a new school was built outside the village, so I didn't have to spend a lot of time on the road every day, and I had more time to study. Then my grades improved very quickly and I was admitted to junior high school. Because of my excellent grades, I got a bursary funded by you, and when I graduated from junior high school, I was admitted to a high school in the city last year.

"In the end, the foundation is weaker, this time I didn't get a full scholarship for high school, and in the first year, the tuition fees were paid for by the elders in the village.

"I owe them so much that I don't want to owe them anymore."

Tian Jiujiu ate quickly, and he shaved the rice into his mouth in two clicks.

At this time, the boiling water on the stove was also boiling, so she poured a bowl and put it on the stove to dry.

"I plan to work as a waitress in Aunt Six's shop during the summer vacation, and I want to earn my tuition on my own...... By the way, at the end of last semester, I took the 20th place in the class, and in this semester's entrance test, I got the 8th place. ”

The classmates in the city have a good foundation, but they are not as good as her in studying.

Even if she wants to farm and study in the fields, the children in the city always play crazy for a winter vacation, and wait until school starts to catch blindness.

This gave Tian Jiujiu hope.

With enough effort, those gaps can be narrowed.

Seeing that Ni Bingyan was only sitting quietly and listening to herself, Tian Jiujiu looked at the bowl on the stove, and then remembered to ask her if she was thirsty.

Ni Bingyan is not hypocritical, saying that he is really a little thirsty.

Tian Jiujiu went into the house and took a bowl out, washed it with boiling water, and then poured water on her.

Seeing Duanmu Li and the others, she was embarrassed again.

Because she only has two bowls.

Duanmuli and the others hurriedly said that they were not thirsty or thirsty.

Sitting down again, Ni Bingyan looked at her and couldn't help but sigh happily: "Knowing that you are fighting like this now, I am very relieved!" ”

Tian Jiujiu smiled shyly.

Actually, she was very happy to see Ni Bingyan today.

Last night, she knew that Ni Bingyan had come to the village, but she searched all over the house and couldn't find anything delicious, so she was embarrassed to invite Ni Bingyan to her house as a guest.

What's more, it's not convenient for her to live in such a place.

Seeing her smile, Ni Bingyan asked her coldly, "Then what were you crying just now?" ”

Such a child is so lovely! Instead of correcting other people's crooked children, Ni Bingyan prefers to pull this kind of child.
