MTL - The Age of Rebirth: The Cannon Fodder Elder Sister Brings a Sister To Counterattack-Chapter 7 poverty

  Chapter 7 Poverty

  As it was getting dark, Tian Dalin, Li Guihua and Erya came back with a load of firewood each. Tian Shao had a bad impression of Erya before, but seeing her carrying two heavy bundles of firewood at such a young age felt a little distressed.

   Tian Shao is very clear that this emotion is not hers.

  During eating, Li Guihua saw the dishes on the table and couldn't help scolding: "I cook so many dishes and put so much oil, how can I live in the future?"

  Tian Shao was not angry either, she knew that Li Guihua was used to frugality: "You and dad have to do so much work every day, if you don't eat better, you will lose your body."

  Li Guihua paused, and then said unnaturally: "Then, forget it this time, and you can't be so busy in the future."

  Tian Shao shook his head and said: "Mother, the summer harvest will be harvested soon. You can ask someone to send a message to uncle, if someone finds wild game, help buy two to eat."

  The Li family is a mountain dweller, and their life was very difficult in the past. But now that the outside world is under public ownership, the life of the mountain people is better. Because the mountain roads are difficult to walk and the commune is far away, no one knows that they raise more poultry in the mountains. And there are many mountain products and other things to fill your stomach can be found in the mountains. Unlike commune members, the number of poultry raised is fixed, and other things are even more so.

   "Buy two? How dare you..."

Seeing Tian Shao looking at her, Li Guihua remembered that she had received a large amount of compensation today, and her tone softened a little: "Big girl, our family still owes a lot of debts. There are only one hundred and eighty in the team, and you two There are also many great-grandpa’s and uncle’s houses.”

  When Tian Erya heard this, her face was very ugly.

  Tian Shao saw that she was in pain before buying, and knew that it would not work for her to buy meat.

  Tianjia Village is not connected to electricity yet, and kerosene is also very expensive. Li Guihua is reluctant to use it. After eating and washing, the family all go back to the house and lie down.

  Tian’s house has four rooms that are fairly spacious, but one room is used to store various things, so Da Ya takes three and five houses to one room.

   Sanya climbed onto the bed and asked, "Sister, if someone whispers something unpleasant in your ear, just pretend you didn't hear it."

   "Someone gossips about me?" Gossip news spreads fast, no matter what era it is.

   Sanya hummed and said: "Sister, those people like to chew their tongues all day long when they have nothing to do. If you ignore it, you will get angry with yourself."

   Tian Shao smiled and said: "I don't care. Sanya, how many of the characters I taught you to recognize before, do you still remember?"

  Tian Daya is a good older sister, and after she can read, she will teach her younger sisters. It's a pity that the second ya was not interested in literacy, the fourth ya couldn't sit still, and the fifth ya was too young at that time, only the third ya learned a lot of words along with her.

   Sanya said with some embarrassment: "Sister, I have forgotten most of them."

   "You will learn it again with me tomorrow." I cannot read, and it will be difficult to go out after twenty years.

   Sanya hesitated and said: "Eldest sister, they all said that reading and writing are useless, so let's stop learning!"

  Literacy is really a boring thing. She would rather do needlework than read. At the beginning, Tian Daya was also very interested, and she couldn't bear to refuse, so she followed her for a year.

  Tian Shao smiled and said, "How can studying be useless? If it is useless, why both the captain and Tian Chun brothers send their children to study? Why do factories have to have a junior high school education or above to recruit confessions."

  Her great-grandfather's family is also poor, but his grandfather can study and was admitted to a technical secondary school. At that time, technical secondary school students would be assigned jobs, and her grandfather was assigned to work in an agency after graduation, so the old man attached great importance to studying.

   Sanya retorted: "They can join the army and enter the factory after studying, but we can't? Sister, you have studied hard for so many years, but in the end you still have to work in the fields to earn work points."

Tian Shao didn't continue to say that studying can change one's destiny. Now that there is no college entrance examination, one cannot pass one's exams to change one's destiny, and now one can't change Sanya's thinking by talking about it; It won't harm you, and it won't hurt to learn more words."

   Sanya hesitated.

  Tian Shao said: "You don't know how to read. When you go to the city to buy things, you have to ask the salesperson if you don't know the characters on the goods. Sanya, if you don't read with me now, you will definitely regret it later."

  When it comes to this point, Sanya no longer refuses.

  Wu Ya, who had been silent all this time, said, "Eldest sister, I can also read."

   "Okay, let's learn together then."

   After a while, the two little girls fell asleep. Tian Shao couldn't fall asleep because he was so full of thoughts, and lay on the bed tossing and turning. Grandparents died of illness two years ago, so there is nothing to worry about in modern times.

  The night in the countryside is very lively. 'Quack quack', 'buzzing buzz', 'I got it, I got it', the sounds of frogs, insects, and cicadas are intertwined, and the waves are higher than the waves.

   After a long time, Tian Shao said to himself: "If you come, you will be safe. At least this father is good, and this mother is relatively good."

  Although Tian Dalin and Li Guihua have their own shortcomings, they both love children. Unlike her scumbag father, after the divorce, the daughter didn't care and still tried her best to **** the blood of her parents. Grandparents showed up when they were seriously ill and hospitalized, and came to inherit the inheritance when everyone was gone. When she found out that she had no inheritance and knew that she had two houses in Shanghai, she was forced to transfer the ownership of the big house to her half-brother. If she disagreed, she went to court to sue. As for her mother, she didn't show up after the divorce, and she came out with a fraudulent corpse after she started working, and said that she was not doing well and asked her to support her half-brother.

   Fortunately, after her grandparents died of illness, she made a will. Once she had an accident, all the property under her name would be donated to the Children and Teenagers' Fund. I think the face of the scumbag parents will be very exciting when they know this.

  In the master bedroom, Li Guihua pushed Tian Dalin beside her and said, "Father, have you noticed that you seem to be a different person?"

  Tian Dalin is neither blind nor deaf, so how can he not see the changes in his daughter: "I used to hear people say that people's temperaments will change drastically after experiencing life and death. It's normal for Da Ya to have some changes in her temperament after being so stimulated."

  Li Guihua didn't think so, she hesitated for a while and lowered her voice and said: "Father, do you think the big girl will get dirty with something? No matter how temperamental you change, it's impossible to become so big?"

  Tian Dalin was taken aback. He stood up and said angrily, "What are you talking about? Now that feudal superstitions are broken, people will be criticized if they hear your words."

   "Who can hear us whispering." It was because she was worried about being overheard that she lowered her voice.

  Tian Dalin felt that he had to be cautious, and there might be someone who listened to the corner: "Don't think about it. My temper has only changed, and nothing else has changed. I am still as diligent and filial as before."

Thinking of Tian Shao saying that they need to make up for their lack of health, Li Guihua also felt that she was thinking too much: "Not only has her temper become stronger, but her hands have become looser. The oil at home is usually used for three days, and she uses it up in one meal. This is also considered Now, she still wants to buy wild game, how can she be so capable?"

   As for Li Guihua, who can’t wait to spend a penny in half, spending money to buy wild game is tantamount to killing her.

   "After all, Da Ya got her fame in exchange for that money, so she can buy it if she wants to eat it!"

  Li Guihua hesitated and said: "There is no two taels of meat in this wild animal, and the meat is still very firewood. After two days, you will send firewood to your cousin and ask her to help buy two catties of suet."

  The lard made from suet is very fragrant for cooking, and the oil residue for cooking or bibimbap is very fragrant, and the whole family loves it.

   Thinking about his cousin's temper, Tian Dalin said with some uncertainty: "Let me try it!"
