Chapter 31
"Little bastard, do you still have the guts to come back?" Tian Xiaohua just entered the door when a thin, black old lady slapped her, making her stagger, almost falling to the ground.

Tian Xiaohua endured the pain, covered her face and looked up at her grandma. Standing beside her was her younger brother, who was born in the twelfth lunar month of the year before last. He was said to be four years old, but in fact he was only two years old. He was also the heart of the whole family. Stare at her.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Mrs. Tian got angry from her heart, picked up the broom erected in the corner, and beat Tian Xiaohua down overwhelmingly, cursing obscenities while beating, talking about little beasts and little sluts incessantly.

None of the other members of the family came out to persuade her, Tian Xiaohua had already given up on other members of the family, as long as the stick did not fall on the heads of her three sisters, they would not come to help her.

Tian Xiaohua sometimes doesn't understand why she has been beaten more than the three older sisters and has done more work than the three older sisters. Even though she is only two years older than her younger brother, she is the most disliked one in the family child.

But she remembered the warmth brought to her by the two sisters of the Jiang family. This was the only warmth she had ever had since she could remember.

"Grandma, I was wrong!" She raised her withered face and looked at Granny Tian with tears in her eyes, "Grandma hurts me, I will never dare again."

Mrs. Tian's hand paused, and the hand holding the broom froze for a few seconds, and then it fell on the little granddaughter's head again, but she stopped after hitting her.

"Little bastard, why didn't you expect to be beaten when you ate something? Now you know it hurts? Let me see you stealing next time and see if I don't break your leg."

Tian Xiaohua also found it incredible, in the past, Granny Tian would not stop hitting her for half an hour, but this time she just let it go?

But then she thought about the many words Jiang Yu's sister taught her on the way. Although she was awkward and didn't want to say those words, she had to try in order not to be beaten.

"Thank you grandma, there will definitely be no next time." With tears on her face, she looked at Granny Tian timidly.

Granny Tian felt irritable in her heart, she held her precious grandson's hand and ignored her little granddaughter, "Grandma's heart is sharp, let's go see if the roasted sweet potatoes are ready."

After they left, Tian Xiaohua returned to the room.

The family background of the Tian family can be regarded as a poor household in the entire Hexi Village. The workers in the family are the daughter-in-law of the Tian family and the three daughters above. Naturally, Mrs. Tian does not go down to the farm, and her son and grandson are all Mrs. Tian’s heart. , On weekdays, I spend three days fishing and two days drying the net, and the annual work points I earn are less than half of Tian’s daughter-in-law, but even so, Mrs. Tian and her son and grandson are the most full food in the family. In the era of food and clothing, who cares, it’s okay to starve to death, and it can save a lot of rations.

The four sisters lived in this room. Tian Xiaohua slept on the westernmost side and got into the cold bed. She closed her eyes and fell asleep without talking to the three sisters.

Seeing this, the other three girls didn't seem to feel anything unusual, anyway, the younger sister has such a temperament, and she is not pleasing.

Children are used to acting on the face of adults, Tian Xiaohua has the lowest status in the family, even if they are her own older sister, the three girls will not get close to the youngest sister, lest when Tian Xiaohua makes a mistake and gets beaten, they Because of being close to my sister, I was missed by my parents and grandma.

In this family, in fact, everyone is planning to live in their hearts. They say they are relatives, but they only rely on a little blood, and there is no such thing as relatives.

Early in the morning in Laba, someone knocked on the door outside.

Jiang Yu was washing in the yard at this time, when she heard the sound and went to open the door, she saw He Xun in a military overcoat standing outside, tightly wrapped.

"Brother He..." Jiang Yu was surprised, the snow hadn't stopped yet, did he rush over in the snow?Let's start from the town before dawn depending on the situation, right?
He Xun pushed the bicycle in, and there were a lot of things hanging on the front and back, and it looked like he was here to give New Year's goods.

Jiang Yu realized instantly, "Brother He is going back to the capital?"

"Yeah, I haven't been home for the holidays in two years. I will go back early this year, and I will leave tomorrow. I will bring you the New Year's goods today. The weather is cold, and a lot of meat can be stored. It won't be broken until the New Year." Congratulations Hearing Jiang Chuan's voice, Xun looked up and saw the little guy pushed open the window and was putting on his padded jacket in a hurry, "I won't be eating here today, I have to go back early to prepare."

Jiang Yan came out and helped carry the things He Xun brought into the house with her sister. This time, the New Year's goods were much more than before. There were two large cardboard boxes in the car, and they were not heavy. Even Jiang Yan, who is used to farm work, can't move it.

"I'll come!" He Xun moved two large cardboard boxes into the house, "It's time to go back."

Jiang Yan was stunned, and said reluctantly, "So fast?"

He Xun looked at her, his long black hair was combed into a braid behind his back, clean and tidy, "I have to go back to buy some local specialties for the train ticket at 05:30 tomorrow morning, so I won't stay here for too long." It's been a while, and when I come back after the Lantern Festival, I will bring you specialties from the capital."

He said so, Jiang Yan couldn't bear it anymore, she could only pour him a cup of hot water, "Drink a cup of hot water before leaving, warm your body, or you will be frozen all the way back."

He Xun liked Jiang Yan's thoughtfulness, he held the teacup and drank slowly, and said a few words to Jiang Chuan by the way, watching the two sisters busy at home.

"Isn't the new year's pig coming soon?" He asked.

"Yes!" Mentioning this, Jiang Yan showed a cheerful smile, "Usually, the [-]th and [-]th of the twelfth lunar month come to our commune to collect pigs, and this year should also be those two days."

When the pigs are harvested, the family will have a good income. This year, most of the pigs are fed by Jiang Yu at home. Jiang Chuanfang usually learns to go out to cut pig grass with a basket on his back, so he grows very fat and strong. No matter what, a pig costs 120 to [-] catties to breed, and it can earn about [-] yuan, which is already very satisfying for Jiang Yan.

The current conditions of the family can't afford to raise two piglets, otherwise, she will definitely catch a few more piglets to raise, and the money for her younger siblings' education will not be worrying about in the future.

But no, the food in the family is only enough for the three of them now, and it is impossible to feed another pig.

Jiang Chuan was rushed to wash her face by Jiang Yu. She sat down on the ponytail next to He Xun, and said in a low voice, "Brother He, this time you go back to see what policies are there, and tell me when you come back?"

He Xun held back his laughter, and replied in a low voice: "What do you want to know?"

"Such as resuming the college entrance examination and individual economic matters." She looked at He Xun calmly, and found that the smile in his eyes faded a little after hearing her question.

"Okay, I'll tell you when I get back." He Xun nodded solemnly.

 He Xun: I want to become a regular, I want to see the light.
