Chapter 36: Life is more than what is in front of you

Chen Liang returned to his cold appearance again, and walked straight to the outside of Lian Ji. Jing Tian didn't care about it because he was in a good mood, and when he passed by the shop hall, the guy who had just helped inform him said hello and said goodbye with a smile.

Jing Tian gained a lot today, in addition to getting two contracts, she also learned some about the situation of this world from Lian Ji. The dynasty she is in now is called the Shengtang, and the royal family is also surnamed Li, which is somewhat similar to the Tang Dynasty in the history of the Chinese kingdom where she was before, but they are two completely parallel worlds.

Out of Lianji, Jing Tian quickly caught up with Chen Liang and shouted, "Hey! Don't be in a hurry! Something else! ”

What's the matter, of course, it's money! Due to limited funds, Jing Tian quickly calculated and planned to buy some rice, eggs and cloth first.

Found a grain store with a good reputation in the township, a liter of rice costs 5 Wen, and a bucket is 45 Wen, Jing Tian decisively bought two buckets, spent 90 Wen, and saved about half a month. There was a lady selling eggs on the side of the road outside the grain store, and a pound of eggs cost 10 yuan, which was a little cheaper than the two she just asked, so Jing Tian chose this one. The two egg sellers I saw earlier also set up stalls with baskets, and there were no scales, and they paid a penny for an egg. This lady estimates that she has a good relationship with the grain store, and she can borrow a small scale from the grain store, so she sells it by the pound. The eggs of this era are all native eggs, which are relatively small, about eleven or twelve eggs per catty.

The family brought Chen Liang five people, and the aunt's family eight, a total of thirteen mouths. Everyone doesn't eat well all day long, and they do work all day long, Jing Tian plans to let everyone eat one egg a day. In this lady's basket, there are still a little more than five catties of eggs left, so she asked Jing Tian to ask for the basket as a partner. talked about the price, went to the fraction, and spent 60 Wen. In this way, only 60 wen of the 210 wen money remained. It's too much to spend! When he arrived at the cloth shop, Jing Tian simply gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, all of which bought cotton cloth, a total of 20 feet, and asked the young man for a small bag of rags as a partner.

Coming out of the cloth shop, Jing Tian was penniless again. However, the basket behind her and Chen Liang was full of grain, eggs and fabric, which gave her a sense of accomplishment. However, this sense of accomplishment disappeared when passing by the Zhenkou steamed bun shop in Jing Tian's stomach grunt. I forgot to leave myself two pennies to buy steamed buns, I'm hungry!

However, Jing Tian's mood soon soared again. It's not because he has finished talking about business and filled himself with a sense of accomplishment, but because Chen Liang took out his bag of fresh walnuts and asked Jing Tian to appease the Five Organs Temple that he had already made trouble.

After not being hungry, Jing Tian felt that today was complete! It was almost noon at this time, there was no one on the road, and on the way back to the village, Jing Tian suddenly felt a passion in his heart.

"Life is not only about what is in front of you, but also about poetry and distant fields,

You came into the world with your bare hands, desperate to find the sea. ”

Jing Tian suddenly sang loudly. Her voice is not as clear and soft as Sister Ran'er, her timbre is unique, rich and impactful, and there is a little mature taste in her delicate voice, like surround sound, which is very good. At least, Chen Liang had never heard such a song, and he had never seen such a tune. It's a little like a shout, and it's a little bit heroic.

opened his voice for two sentences, and Jing Tian felt good. The voice condition of this body is much stronger than that of her previous life, and the beautiful voice greatly pleases Jing Tian, making her self-absorbed and can't help but want to sing.

"She sat across from me,

Bow your head and say goodbye,

Although it has been many years,

Remember her tears rippling.

Those hours of laughter,

Those vows and dreams,

On the side of the street where we broke up,

She hugged me and said,

Life is not only about the immediate future, but also about poetry and distant fields,

You came into the world with your bare hands, desperate to find that sea......"

Jing Tian, who was walking in front and singing indulgently, didn't know that Chen Liang behind him was also silently singing along with her. Chen Liang felt that this song seemed to be written for himself. So many things happened in a short period of time, the collapse of his peaceful life, and the face of death and hunting again and again, made his temperament gradually become more and more cold and silent. But this song, like a spark, lit a small flame in his chest. Even he didn't realize it, but he had already begun to hum the climax of the chorus softly. He suddenly has some expectations for the future, and wants to work harder, not only to save his mother, but also to take revenge. He also wanted to see the poem and the distant fields, to find the sea mentioned in the song.

When I arrived at the entrance of the village, it was already past noon. At noon, the temperature of the day is the highest, and the sun overhead unleashes its enthusiasm and bakes the ground beneath its feet. There isn't much work in the fields during this season, so even the hardest working farmers in Jingjia Village are resting at home at this time. Jing Tian saw from a distance that under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village, Da Anzi, the cousin of the eldest aunt's family, was waving at him. Looking at the figure of the eldest cousin trotting over from a distance, Jing Tian's heart was suddenly full of expectations for this world. For many years, the first time she went out, someone has been thinking about it, and she is still waiting on the way home on such a hot summer afternoon. For a while, she wanted to cry a little pretentiously.

Jing Tian still laughed brightly, jumped and waved at Da Anzi, and shouted: "Big cousin! "Li An is the eldest son of the eldest aunt's family, one year older than Jing Tian, but he is about the same height. This made Li An very depressed, but he still took good care of Jing Tian and spoiled him like his own sister. Jing Tian is still very confident that Li An will develop to more than 1.8 meters in the future, after all, the height of the eldest aunt and the eldest uncle is not low, and the boys grow later than the girls, and they usually don't get up until they are fifteen to twenty-two or three years old.

Li An stepped forward to take the basket on Jing Tian's body, the basket was not heavy, only some fabric. Maybe the living habits of almost thirty years in her previous life made her immediately self-conscious. Moreover, equal respect is not only about enjoying equal rights and interests by doing nothing, but also includes paying according to one's ability.

From Da Anzi's mouth, Jing Tian learned that her three little ones were waiting at her aunt's house because she was worried. Originally, Jing Tian planned to go directly first, so that they didn't have to go back to their own small grass hut to call people. Since the death of their mother, the eldest aunt has been taking care of their siblings. After all, she is a married woman, and in this way, she helps the children of her brother's family, and the people in the village are more or less gossipy. Even her mother's family, that is, Jing Tian's grandmother and uncle's family, often scolded her aunt for overstepping her duty, cursing her for being abandoned by the Li family sooner or later. The eldest aunt is a kind and docile person, even her own family often bullied, she has compromised many things, and has suffered a lot of losses, but in terms of helping Jing Tian's sisters and brothers, she is rare stubborn and persistent. This point made Jing Tian, an "outsider", extremely moved, and involuntarily regarded the aunt's family as his relatives.

Therefore, Jing Tian made money, and the food he bought was counted in the eldest aunt's share, and he wanted to take the things to the eldest aunt's house as soon as possible. On the one hand, there is no kitchen stove in their thatched hut, so they have to eat with their aunt's family, and more importantly, this family is the only relatives she recognizes, and there are so respectable elders.
