Chapter 7 Poverty
When 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 knew very well that this emotion was not hers.

When 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 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 are mountain people, 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? You have a big tone..."

Seeing Tian Shao looking at her, Li Guihua remembered that she had received a large amount of compensation today, and her tone softened a bit: "Big girl, our family still owes a lot of debts. There are 180 in the light team, and your second great-grandfather's family There are also many with my uncle's family."

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

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

There is no electricity in Tianjia Village, and kerosene is also very expensive. Li Guihua is reluctant to use it. After eating and washing, the whole family went back to the house and lay down.

There are four rooms in the Tian family that are quite spacious, but one room is used to store various things, so Da Ya took three and five 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 spreads fast, no matter what era.

Sanya hummed and said, "Eldest sister, those people like to gossip when they have nothing to do all day long. If you ignore it, you will get angry with yourself."

Tian Shao smiled and said, "I won't care. Sanya, how many of the characters I taught you to recognize before do you 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 was a little embarrassed and said: "Eldest sister, I have forgotten most of them."

"Tomorrow you will learn it again from me." Without literacy, it will be difficult to go out after 20 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 require junior high school education or above to recruit confessions."

Her great-grandfather's family was also impoverished, but his grandfather was able to 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? Elder 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 know how to read with me now, you will definitely regret it later."

When it came to this point, Sanya didn't refuse anymore.

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 country is very lively. 'Quak quack quack', 'buzzing buzz', 'caught cicadas', the cries of frogs, insects, and cicadas are intertwined, and the waves are higher than the waves.

For 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 suck 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, she made a will after her grandparents died of illness. Once she had an accident, all the property under her name would be donated to the Children and Teenagers' Foundation. I think the scumbag parents and scumbag mothers will look wonderful when they know this.

In the master bedroom, Li Guihua pushed Tian Dalin beside her and said, "Father, have you noticed that Da Ya seems 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 temperament 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: "Father, do you think the big girl will get dirty with something? No matter how you change your temper, 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 the feudal superstition is broken, people will be criticized if they hear your words."

"Who can hear us when we whisper." 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 wished to spend every penny in half, spending money on wild game would kill her.

"After all, the money is bought by Da Ya in exchange for her reputation, so she can buy it if she wants to eat!"

Li Guihua hesitated and said: "This wild animal doesn't have two taels of meat, and the meat is still very firewood. After two days, you will send firewood to your cousin and ask her to help you buy two catties of suet."

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

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