After the couple sent away their brother-in-law Tian Sui, who sold cloth, the brother-in-law Tianzhuang, who went to college at Xinjiang University of Finance and Economics, would go to the eldest brother's house every weekend to improve the food, and Tian Miao and Li Zi would entertain their younger brother with all they had.

During the Spring Festival of this year, Tian Miao and Li Zi discussed going to Hotan City to meet Li Zi's mother's family.

When the Grange was on holiday, Tian Miao packed a sack of daily necessities such as basins and cloths sent by his colleagues, and put a sack of winter vegetables and artichokes, green radishes and cabbage issued by the unit.

He carried two sacks of things to the station on a bicycle, and repeatedly told him not to sleep on the road, don't lose these things, thinking that the relatives in Guangren Township can eat Chinese cabbage and mutton stuffed dumplings in winter, Tian Miao's heart is warm.

Before his younger brother Tianzhuang got into the car, Tian Miao took out another 40 yuan and handed it to his younger brother, telling him that this was the travel and living expenses for him and his sisters in the next semester.

With the 40 yuan given by his brother, Grange was so moved that his eyes were red, and a while ago he was worried that after his brother got married, he would no longer care about him and his sister.

Unexpectedly, after becoming a family, Tian Miao, the eldest brother, is still the big brother who gave him safety and peace of mind.

Grange, who was sitting in the car, waved his hand to the eldest brother who was watching him, the shuttle bus opened, and through the window, looking at the shadow of the eldest brother who was a head lower than him, he was getting farther and farther away, and Grange turned his face and burst into tears.

After sending off the second brother, after returning home Tian Miao entered the house, he saw his wife Li Zi looking for 40 yuan under the pillow, and he said weakly: "Xiaozi, I gave the 40 yuan to Tianzhuang and Tian Dou, Tian Dou has to go to cram school to pay tuition fees during the winter vacation, and this year she will take the high school entrance examination and take the Yining Health School." ”

Li Zi looked at her husband's uneasy look, sighed softly, and said helplessly: "Forget it, this 40 yuan, I originally planned to add a writing desk to my family, forget it, let's talk about it next month's salary." ”

This desk was not made the next month as Li Zi envisioned, but almost a year later, and the family finally bought this desk.

In addition to deducting the loan from the unit, Tian Miao's salary was sent to his younger brothers and sisters in Guangren Township at the post office, and their living expenses were all borne by Li Zi's salary.

In the summer of the following year, Tian Miao and Li Zi took a week off to visit their relatives in Guangren Township, and Tian Kunhe's family was very happy for the new daughter-in-law Li Zi, who was about to come to the door.

Although I have not seen the appearance of the eldest daughter-in-law Li Zi, listening to the description of his son Tian Sui and Tianzhuang, Li Zi is a kind-hearted, virtuous and capable daughter-in-law.

Ji Yue'e cleaned the small room and replaced it with a clean bedding.

A few years ago, when Tian Liu returned to Guangren Township from time to time to visit his relatives, Tian Kunhe vacated this room and used it as a guest room.

The door with thin wooden planks and a small rectangular wooden window horizontally, there was originally a wind tunnel under the window to dry milk, Tian Kunhe pasted the wind tunnel to death, and placed a double wooden bed and a chair inside, nothing more.

When Li Ziluo generously called Tian Kunhe and Ji Yue's parents, he didn't expect Tian Kunhe, who has always been strong, to be so excited that he shed tears, and his mouth nagged: "My old Tian family's ancestral grave is smoking, Tian Miao can marry this daughter-in-law who is one in a million, if it was left more than ten years ago, I would not dare to dream of it." ”

Looking at this husband, who admired her husband, he was a very ordinary and authentic old peasant, simple, humble and silent.

Judging by the wrinkles on his face and his kind eyes, the pain of poverty in the past once bent his back.

He has black skin that has been scorched by the scorching sun all the year round, has handsome facial features, and wears a homespun cardigan that is rarely seen in the city, and his trousers are as big as a bucket.

At Tian Miao's suggestion, Li Zi and his wife knelt in front of Tian Kunhe and his wife, which reminded Li Zi of Tian Miao's description of his in-laws on the way to Guangren Township by shuttle.

Tian Miao said that he had a great father, the mountains were his backbone, the ploughing cattle and horses were his companions, the deep furrows were imprinted with the traces of his years, his sweat had burned the hot land of Guangren, and his wrinkles piled up the future of Tian Miao's brothers and sisters.

Looking at the kind in-laws who are nearly 50 years old, the mother-in-law is full of snow dye, and the vicissitudes of life on her face, Li Zi admires this pair of ordinary rural old people from the bottom of her heart, and carries the entire Tian family on their shoulders.

Under the leadership of her mother-in-law, Li Zi went to appreciate the vegetable seeds that Tian Sui, who entrusted to her family at the beginning of the year to run a business in society, had grown into fruitful fruits.

The small vegetable garden is lush and green, with mouth-watering cucumbers with yellow flowers, crisp and inviting in the verdant green.

Bunches of tomatoes are red and yellow, and long cowpeas are bunches of tender beans of different lengths except for the leaves.

Mother-in-law Ji Yue'e proudly told Li Zi that after eating celery and oily wheat vegetables, the neighbors asked her for seeds.

These vegetable seeds were mailed to her by Li Ziyuan's grandparents in Chengdu, Sichuan, and seeing that the seeds from her hometown still blossomed and bore fruit in the Western Regions thousands of miles away, and the fragrance was overflowing, Li Zi decided to ask her relatives in her hometown to mail some fresh seasonal vegetable seeds.

Mother-in-law Ji Yue'e likes her daughter-in-law Li Zi very much, grabbed Li Zi to greet and ask for warmth, and told her daughter-in-law that she dug the ground and sowed seeds according to the planting method brought by Li Zituotian, and did not plant according to the "ridge method" described by Li Zi.

Li Zi smiled and listened to her mother-in-law tell the story of the Tian family, the eldest uncle Tian Kunshu died in the line of duty, the second uncle Tian Kunpeng hanged himself, the underage Tian Ye was washed away by the flood, Tian Yang committed suicide, Zhao Xing committed suicide by jumping into the river, Tian Shi who only knew that the nest was horizontal often murdered his mother, Tian Dog leftovers became more and more sensible, Zhang Zhongming, the most suspicious person in Guangren Township, married a daughter-in-law in the distant township, and Liu Nu, the wife of Wang Ling, the benefactor of the Tian family, accidentally fell into the water and drowned after suffering from mental illness......

Ji Yue'e grabbed her daughter-in-law and told Li Zi about the things she encountered in the first half of her life, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked about everything, and they had endless words every day.

When it comes to the wheat harvest season, the children who come home from vacation are busy in the fields, and the hailstorm in 83 smashed Tian Kunhe's family to eat the wheat from the field for a year and a half.

After the wheat grains were reclaimed and ground out of flour, there was always a kind of moldy taste, which left a shadow on Tian Kunhe, and he planted 25 acres of wheat this year, and planned to eat fresh flour this year.

The family began to harvest wheat with a sickle, and several people of all ages wore straw hats made of Ji Yue'e and were busy in their fields.

The men all hold sickles in their right hands, they all bend their waists and face the loess with their backs to the sky, grasp the wheat with their left hands, hook the wheat in front of them after they finish a knife, hook the wheat in front of them and push them again, and put them behind them after they can't hold them with their left hands, and continue to hold them.

Li Zi watched her husband Tian Miao skillfully do farm work, he put the cut wheat in that pile until he could tie a bundle of wheat, he tied the wheat with the grass that had been prepared a long time ago, and then continued to tie the next bundle.

The men of the Tian family are willing to endure hardships and give up their strength, and the beads of sweat the size of beans are dripping on the yellow earth, and their backs are soaked, but no one complains that they are tired.

Ji Yue'e took Li Zi, Tian Dou and Tian Shan to load the men's bundled wheat into the old ox cart, and after filling the cart, they pulled it to the drying field in front of her house, and Tian Shan spread out the piles of wheat straw with an iron brake.

Ji Yue'e, Li Zi and Tian Douniang drove the old ox cart to the field to pull wheat.

Li Zi, whose family lives in Hotan City, is doing farm work for the first time, Li Zi's parents are young people from Xinjiang who came to Xinjiang in 1960 and worked as a teacher in Hotan Middle School.

After harvesting the wheat, the old and young of the Tian family began to grind again, and under the background of frost and cooking smoke, the old cow pulled the stone and grinded it on the wheat ears and kept crushing.

Sweep the rolled wheat grains into a pile, use a dustpan to hold half a basket of wheat grains, stand at the sealing place, lift the dustpan and slowly pour the wheat grains, and under the breeze, the wheat straw or wheat barley is blown aside.

Although this kind of manual grain clearing is tiring and slow, this season is the happiest time for farmers, because they can eat new wheat, which means that they will not be hungry for a year.

Although the parents-in-law are bitter and tired, and they are busy all day long, which makes Li Zi sad, Li Zi is still happy for them from the bottom of his heart, and getting a bumper harvest this year is their biggest expectation in the year.

After the Tian family finished their 30 acres of wheat, the family took a sickle to help Wang Ling harvest wheat.

After Wang Ling's mentally ill wife fell into the water, he completely became a lonely old man, lost two children one after another, and his wife had an accident, Wang Ling, who was hit by the cruel reality, has lost his spirit, full of white hair, and his body is bent, much older than his actual age, and a person in his fifties looks like a little old man in his sixties.

Tian Kunhe's family has been taking care of the lonely widow Wang Ling, and after three meals a day are ready, let Tian Dou or Tian Shan deliver them to him.

Tian Miao bought a big front door cigarette and some brick tea in the township store, and led Li Zi to visit the Tian family's benefactor Wang Ling.

As soon as he entered the house, Tian Miao shouted: "Godfather, I'm back, I'm coming back to see you with a daughter-in-law." ”

Wang Ling, who was bent on his back, squinted at the tall and handsome Li Zi, was so excited that he burst into tears, and gave a thumbs up: "Looking at her face, she is a good girl who is one in a million, and our Lao Tian family is blessed." ”

Li Ziluo was generous and had to kneel down in front of Wang Ling with Tian Miao, kowtowed three times respectfully, Wang Ling looked up to the sky and laughed, "Who said that I Wang Ling is out of business, and the children of my brother Tian family all recognize me as a godfather." ”

Tears wet the shirt on Wang Ling's chest, and also wet Li Zi and Tian Miao's eyes, after returning to Urumqi City, when Li Zi bought gifts for his in-laws, he would buy an extra one every time, which was for his godfather Wang Ling.

After becoming the daughter-in-law of the Tian family, Li Zi, who has a good family background, has completely integrated into this big family, supported the Tian family brothers and sisters for many years, and occupied a heavy position in the hearts of the Tian family brothers and sisters, "the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother".

Tian Liu, who studied at Xinjiang University of Finance and Economics for two years, returned to the unit, and her job position changed.

On this day, Tian Liu was sitting at his desk and carefully combing through the data of this year's newly demobilized soldiers, and Tian Liu inherited the good tradition of the Tian family's conscientious and responsible work.

"Tuk tuk", there was a slight knock on the door from outside the door, and he didn't raise his head and shouted "Please come in", but there was no movement.

After a while, the knock on the door of "Tuk Tuk Tuk" sounded cautiously again, Tian Liu put down the work in his hand, got up and walked over to open the door to see, Aunt Ji Yue'e was standing outside the door, her thin body was wearing a neat dress, her face was full of red light, and her eyes were shining with a gentle light.

"Auntie, why are you here?" Tian Liu asked unexpectedly, "Nothing will happen at home, right?" ”

Ji Yue'e hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No, the family is fine, and the dog leftovers are also very good at studying." ”

After Tian Liu saw that the aunt finished speaking, she looked around from time to time, for fear of being heard.

"Let's go, auntie, it's time to get off work, let's go out to eat in the cafeteria." Tian Liu knew that the aunt was going to talk about something to avoid people's ears, so she locked the office door and pulled the aunt out of the office.

The two of them chose a small Muslim ramen restaurant, Tian Liu asked for two plates of noodles, and looked at the anxious aunt, "Auntie, what's the matter, let's talk about it." ”

Ji Yue'e covered the cup of tea poured by the waiter with both hands, her face flushed, and she muttered: "Your uncle won't let me come, he said to drag you back, but my mother's brother has sent several letters in a row, and I really can't help it." ”

Tian Liu comforted Ji Yue'e with a smile on her face, "Say, auntie, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do it for you by all means." ”

"Liu'er, then I said, you can do it, if you can't do it, I'll send a letter back to my mother's brother and tell him that this thing can't be done." Ji Yue'e was encouraged by Tian Liu to show her attitude straight to the point, and she was unwilling to increase Tian Liu's psychological burden and pressure.

Tian Liu smiled, "What's the matter?" So hard to do? ”

"Hey, my second brother's nephew took the college entrance examination in his hometown last year, and he was not admitted to Nanjing University with a score of 20 points. Ji Yue'e sighed, blushing and telling the truth about asking Tian Liu to do something.

"That's the case, auntie, several colleagues in our unit, over the years, they have children from their hometowns living in their families, attending cram schools to take the college entrance examination, basically all of them have passed the exam, I haven't heard of any relatives who have not been admitted, and the worst can also be admitted to a junior college in the mainland." Tian Liu told the truth about the current situation, and he heard from a colleague that 80 percent of the dormitories in schools in Yining City were unsuccessful students from the mainland.

When Ji Yue'e heard this, her eyes lit up, and she looked at Tian Liu expectantly, "Then, can you help with this?" ”

Seeing the little aunt cautiously probing, Tian Liu felt a little sad in his heart, he nodded vigorously and agreed: "Auntie, this matter is too simple, I'll go to Yining No. 3 Middle School or No. 8 Middle School to find someone, and you tell me the baby's name." ”

Seeing that Tian Liu agreed to this so happily, Ji Yue's excited eyes were wet, and she took out a letter from her pocket and handed it to Tian Liu.

Holding this crumpled letterhead, Tian Liu knew that this was the aunt who hesitated for a long time before she made up her mind to come to him for help, and promised: "Ji Yangfei, 17 years old." Okay, auntie, leave this letter here for now, I'll do it in the next two days, this thing is too easy to do, as long as you pay the school expensive tuition fees and room and board fees, you can wait for the good news at home. ”
