MTL - The Age of Rebirth: The Cannon Fodder Elder Sister Brings a Sister To Counterattack-Chapter 24 into town

  Chapter 24 Entering the City

   Tian Shao got up when the sky was bright, washed up and sat down to drink porridge. There is also a benefit of coming here, I go to bed early and get up early every day, unlike before I didn’t go to bed before twelve o’clock, so I went to bed early.

  When the two of them went out, Li Guihua also warned: "Big girl, come back quickly after buying the book, don't wander around."

"Know it!"

  Tianjia Village is not far from the county seat, and it can be reached within an hour on foot. This road is relatively flat, but it is full of stones, and cloth shoes hurt your feet when you step on it. Tian Shao thought, the first thing to do after making money is to buy a pair of sandals.

  While they were walking and chatting, Li Sankui said: "Cousin, I want to buy a red scarf, do you think there is one in the county?"

  Tian Shao turned his head, looked at him and asked, "Who are you buying it for, Auntie?"

  Uncle Li gave birth to two daughters and three sons. Unfortunately, the second daughter died at the age of three. The first three have already married and had children. Now only the third son has not yet married. But because he is a young child, he should be pampered.

   "No, I bought it for Fangfang, Uncle Qing's youngest daughter. She has always wanted a red scarf."

  Tian Shao saw that he looked normal, so he was sure he was not his sweetheart, so he didn't care: "How can I buy a scarf in this hot weather? You want to fulfill his idea, and come to the county to buy it when the weather gets colder."

  Li Sankui rubbed the back of his head and smiled embarrassedly.

   At this moment, someone passed them on a bicycle. Tian Shao looked at the back of the other party, and missed his car very much. Alas, I can only think about it, and I will have to go out on the 11th route for a long time.

   "Cousin, if we also have a bicycle, it will be convenient for us to go out."

  Tian Shao glanced at him, and said, "The mountain road is rugged, and you can't use a bicycle."

  The roads to Li’s house are all small roads, let alone rain, even if the weather is good on weekdays, it’s easy to fall. In addition, it is too far away, so the five sisters rarely enter the mountain.

Seeing that Li Sankui had stopped talking, Tian Shao comforted him and said, "Actually, living in the mountains is pretty good. Uncle knows how to hunt and the family has 20 mu of paddy fields. He has never shortened your mouth. Unlike in the city, many people They're all hungry!"

  Ah, Li Sankui said in disbelief: "How is it possible? People in the city eat commercial food, how could they still be hungry."

  Tian Shao said: "Not everyone in the city has a job. The food of the city people is rationed. For a month like yours, it should be about forty catties of food. Do you think one catty of food a day is enough for you?"

  I starved to death for a half-sized man, and a big guy like Li Sankui can probably produce two catties of grain a day.

  Li Sankui was skeptical about this: "Since the city is not good, why do everyone want to go to the city? Uncle Deqing especially wants Fangfang to marry into the city!"

Tian Shao said: "People who live well in the city are those who have a job. Those who don't have a job don't live as well as in the mountains. Uncle Deqing really married his daughter to the city, and her husband's family looked down on her if she didn't have a job. Instead of living in the city It's better to be a cow or a horse for someone than to marry a farmer, although it's a bit tiring, you won't be bullied."

  Li Sankui was a little hesitant: "Shouldn't it be so? If you dislike Sister Fangfang because she doesn't have a job, you don't have to marry her, why bother?"

Tian Shao really felt that this child was simple, and she said with a smile: "Normally speaking, those who marry girls from the mountains are those who are poor in family background and cannot marry a wife. Unless she is very beautiful and is attracted by a man with a job. But men like it. If the mother-in-law doesn't like it, she will be rubbed. Of course, what I'm talking about is just a common phenomenon. Maybe she is lucky enough to meet a man who loves her and a kind-hearted mother-in-law."

  In a situation like what she said later, it is as difficult as buying a lottery ticket to win the jackpot. But there is no absolute, as long as the girl can stand up and hold her husband together, she will be able to live well. But this kind of woman can live well anywhere.

   Li Sankui hurriedly said, "I'll tell Uncle Deqing when I get back."

   Tian Shao didn't speak. Like Tian Dalin and Li Guihua who love Da Ya so much, they also have selfishness in her marriage. Uncle Deqing wanted his daughter to marry to the county seat, and only he knew whether he really wanted her to live a good life.

  When we arrived in the county, it became lively. There are many bicycles that are rare in the countryside. Seeing them riding fast, Li Sankui's eyes flashed with envy.

  Tian Shao looked at the people coming and going who were either wearing Chinese tunic suits or gray clothes, and sighed inwardly that it was too monotonous. Fortunately, it will change after another two or three years, otherwise she will not know if she can stick to it for the rest of her life.

  Li Sankui asked in a low voice: "Cousin, where are we going now?"

   Tian Shao didn't say anything, just let him follow.

   The two went to the supply and marketing cooperative first. When he entered, he saw the salesman in front of the counter hooking up the soles of his shoes. Tian Shao thought to himself that this was really leisurely. She stepped forward and said, "Sister, I want to buy a pack of cigarettes."

  Li Sankui looked at the creases on the salesperson's face, and was amazed that Tian Shao could call her sister all the time.

  The salesperson is an older lady in her thirties. She looked like she didn't want to talk to you, but when she heard this, her expression softened a lot: "What brand do you want to buy?"

   Tian Shao said embarrassedly: "Sister, I want to buy it as a gift, but I don't have a cigarette ticket, so I don't know what kind of cigarettes I can buy?"

The salesperson took out two kinds of cigarettes with different colors from under the counter, pointed at them and said, "This is swimming, and this is Hongta Mountain. It's quite easy to give away. You are also lucky, and it happens that these two kinds of cigarettes don't need cigarette tickets now." gone."

  She has never seen the brand Tian Shaojian before, but she is very familiar with Hongtashan. Because her grandfather smoked this kind of cigarettes, when she was a child, she often used the money to buy it at the canteen downstairs, and bought popsicles or other snacks with the rest of the money.

  Li Sankui became anxious when he heard this, and when he saw her paying for the money, he pulled her aside and asked, "Cousin, cousin, why are you buying this?"

   "Didn't you just say that you were going to give it away, why did you lose your hearing at such a young age?"

  Li Sankui held Tian Shao's arm tightly and asked, "Who are you giving it to? Why did you only say you were buying books before and didn't say you were buying cigarettes as a gift? Cousin, if my aunt knows about this, I will kill you."

   It was him, and he would have to be ostracized at that time.

Tian Shao said: "As long as you don't tell me and I don't tell, how can my mother know? Well, don't stop me, this cigarette is related to my future. If you don't let me buy it, I won't be listed. Then you can't afford it."

  Although Li Sankui is not very old, he also knows that cutting a person's future is like killing a life, so how dare he stop him, so he can only watch Tian Shao buy two packs of Hongshan.

  Going out for a walk, I asked a middle-aged man with a black briefcase: "Comrade, how can I get to the textile factory?"

  The man looked at Xia Tian Shao, and asked vigilantly, "What are you doing at the textile factory?"

  Tian Shao said with a smile: "We are from Tianjia Village, Hongqi Commune. My cousin works in a textile factory. My brother and I will visit her and send some things along the way."

  The man looked at the pannier Li Sankui was carrying, nodded his head and pointed to the front, and said, "Go to the fork in front and turn left, then walk two hundred meters ahead and turn right, then go straight and you will be there soon."

  Li Sankui was confused, and after the man left, he asked: "Cousin, do you remember what he said?"

   "Remember, let's go!"

   Oh, Li Sankui said in confusion: "Cousin, do you have a cousin who works in a textile factory? Why don't I know."

  Tian Shao couldn't help laughing when he saw his stupid appearance, and said, "Don't you know if I have a cousin? Well, stop talking nonsense, let's go!"
