Chapter 47 Borrowing Clothes

Tian Shao saw how carefully Sanya carried the bowls and chopsticks to the kitchen, and said with a smile, "I'll clean up the bowls and chopsticks, you go and test Siya and Wuya to see what they've learned these past few days, do you remember?"

Sanya was worried that washing the dishes would stain her clothes, so she responded immediately when she heard this.

But Li Guihua pushed Tian Shao away and said, "Go to my room and get the kerosene lamp and go back to read a book!"

Before, she believed that Tian Shao would not pass the exam, so she didn't support her, but now that Officer Li and her mother valued her so much, she felt that her daughter might not be able to pass the exam, otherwise others would not value her so much.

"No, you've been tired all day and take a good rest."

Tian Dalin pulled Li Guihua and said, "Listen to me, just sit here and rest for a while."

Although it was a pity not to have a son, the five daughters were all very filial, and he felt that all these years of hard work were worth it.

Tian Shao is very satisfied with Tian Dalin's attitude, and thinks that after she is admitted to the textile factory, she may be able to control the right to speak.

The husband and wife were talking with their heads down, when suddenly someone outside shouted loudly: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law..."

Li Guihua looked at the woman who was standing outside the fence with a basket, and said deliberately, "Young lady didn't come out from the west today, and the third younger brother and sister came to our house!"

Tian Dalin has three brothers, and Grandma Tian doesn't like the eldest son favoring the two younger ones.Tian Dalin has reached the age of marrying a wife, and Grandma Tian wants him to marry the ugly and lame daughter of the captain of the village next door without offering a gift.Tian Dalin didn't want to, and it happened that he met Li Guihua at that time, and he fell in love with Li Guihua when they met for the first time.But Grandma Tian firmly disagreed with this marriage.In the end, Li Guihua compromised and said that the bride price could not be given, but she also put forward a condition, that is, the family must be separated after marriage.

Unexpectedly, after getting married, Grandma Tian would sweep Tian Dalin out of the house, and neither the house nor the money would be distributed to the husband and wife.It was the former captain who came forward and divided the land between the husband and wife according to their heads.Tian Dalin was completely chilled by what Grandma Tian did. She was also worried that her bad reputation would affect her daughter's marriage, so she showed up during the holidays to give away some food, and she didn't come to the door at other times.

As for Li Guihua, she never came to the house when her mother-in-law died.And Grandma Tian is patriarchal. Not only did she never give the five sisters a good look, but she always told the villagers that Li Guihua was a hen that didn't lay eggs.In this way, the two brothers Tian Erlin and Tian Sanlin always accused Tian Dalin of being unfilial.The same is true, Li Guihua never looked good when she saw them.

Ma Xiaomei said: "Brother, sister-in-law, let me in first, it's hard to say standing at the door."

When she said this, she deliberately opened the basket in her hand, revealing five white eggs inside.

Li Guihua wanted to know what medicine was sold in her gourd, so she opened the door and let her in.She didn't want Ma Xiaomei to stare at Erya and Sanya as soon as she entered the courtyard. It was a waste of good clothes for these two ugly girls to wear.

Because of the bad relationship between the two, the sisters ignored Ma Xiaomei.

Li Guihua said impatiently: "If you have something to say, let it go quickly, if you let it go, put the thing down and get out of here."

Ma Xiaomei licked her face and said: "Brother, sister-in-law, it's not that someone told Feng'er a family relationship, and they will see each other after the summer harvest. The family is poor and has no good clothes, so I just want to wait for Feng'er to see each other. Erya wears this dress."

A few days ago, she was worried about this matter, but today she heard that Tian Shao brought back a large bag of clothes from the county, and she was moved.After hesitating for a long time, he decided to come over to try his luck. Knowing that Li Guihua was not good at talking, he deliberately brought five eggs.Fortunately, the clothes are good-looking.

Erya refused as soon as she heard it: "No borrowing."

Li Guihua knew that there was nothing good about this woman's visit, so she sneered and said, "Didn't your niece marry into the county town, so if you don't have any good clothes, ask your niece to borrow them!"

If Li Guihua has a good relationship with her, she might agree. After all, seeing each other is a matter of life, but Tian Erlin and Tian Sanlin don't want to take advantage of them.

Ma Xiaomei said, "It's not for nothing, just for one day, and I'll give you ten eggs."

Li Guihua was very interested in borrowing clothes for eggs, she said: "The clothes are made of really good material, ten eggs is too little, at least twenty eggs are needed."

Ma Xiaomei screamed, "Why don't you go grab it?"

Li Guihua hehe said twice: "I don't want to, I don't want to leave quickly."

Ma Xiaomei wanted to leave, but she couldn't still be wearing dusty clothes when they saw each other, so the man would have to look down on his daughter.She gritted her teeth and said, "Let Erya stand up and show me the clothes."

Erya wasn't happy at first, but she didn't object to being able to exchange twenty eggs a day, so she stood up cooperatively.She used to wear coarse clothes, but the bright fabric of this dress is soft and comfortable.

Ma Xiaomei stepped forward to touch it, making sure it was really true, and reluctantly agreed: "Here are five eggs, and the rest will be given to you on the day you pick up the clothes. But it must be as clean and bright as it is now, or else I won't want it."

I said this specifically because I was worried that the clothes would get dirty or wrinkled when I borrowed them.

Li Guihua readily agreed.

Ma Xiaomei scanned around and said, "Sister-in-law, where's Da Ya?"

She also wanted to know what happened to the female officer in the textile factory?If Da Ya is really good friends with that female officer, she may be able to help buy some cloth or something if she asks her in the future.

Li Guihua rolled her eyelids, and said very bluntly: "Nothing, hurry up, I'm busy here!"

Seeing that Da Ya couldn't come out, Ma Xiaomei had no choice but to give the eggs to Li Guihua and then went back.

Li Guihua confiscated the five eggs and put them in the kitchen cupboard.Then she said to Tian Shao: "Reading is a waste of time, first take twenty eggs to the county seat. Eat two tonics a day. When I finish eating, I'll ask your father to deliver it."

After Tian Shao answered, he asked, "Mother, do the girls in the village borrow clothes to wear?"

Li Guihua said with a smile: "Not only to see each other, but many people will borrow clothes when they get married. Our family used to be poor and no one came to the door. This time, it is also thanks to Li's officer."

Tian Shao understood that it was all caused by poverty.

Seeing that he was about to go to bed, Li Sankui couldn't bear it anymore when he saw that Tian Shao hadn't moved, and said, "Cousin, didn't you say that you want to give the soda to Erya, Sanya and the others? Why don't you give them to drink?"

Li Guihua reacted very quickly and asked, "What soda?"

Li Sankui smacked his mouth, reminiscing about the taste: "Soda water is a kind of delicious water. Sister, Director Li gave me and my cousin a bottle, and my cousin took a sip and said that I would bring it back to my cousins." drink."

Tian Dalin knew about the soda, and explained beside him: "It's a very expensive drink, and a bottle seems to cost five or six cents."

He could buy a bag of salt for five or six cents, but he was reluctant to buy it.

Si Ya looked at Tian Shao whose eyes were almost glistening, and asked anxiously: "Sister, where's the soda? I want to drink it."

Tian Shao forgot about the matter in this busy, she went into the room and took out the soda for the four sisters to drink in turn.

After finishing drinking, Si Ya held the bottle and licked it while saying, "It's so delicious, big sister, when can I drink this soda again?"

Li Guihua couldn't help scolding after hearing this: "What do you drink, you don't earn enough to buy a bottle of soda in a day."

Tian Shao smiled and said, "Mother, a bottle of soda is six cents, but the bottle can be refunded three cents, and you can refund it wherever you go."

Upon hearing this, Li Guihua immediately put away the bottle, making Tian Shao secretly laugh.
