Chapter 58
It's easy for Erhuaguai to go out to play, and the door of every house is open during the Chinese New Year.

In the village, during the Chinese New Year, people would visit from east to west, and it was the most common sight for children to play around.

Nobody cares about two girls hanging out together.When Gan Tiantian took Liang Erhua out, he greeted Tan Yushu and Tan Yushu nodded.

The little uncle is very relieved of his family Tiantian, if it is Gan Dong who is going out, he will be worried instead.

"Is the candy delicious?"

Gan Tiantian casually found an excuse of "seeing the scenery" and pulled Erhua out. Although Erhua didn't think there was any good scenery in the village, she was still happy to bring her new friends out to play.

"good to eat!"

The little girl's childish voice was a bit slurred, her tongue was busy sucking the sweetness of the candy. "Uh... Tiantian, can I give some of the candy you gave me to my sister?"

"Do you have a younger sister?"

Gan Tiantian knew that Liang Youguang had several children, and Erhua's two elder brothers were sitting in the room just now.It turns out that his family not only has sons, but also two daughters?
"Well, my sister is two years old." Erhua's voice suddenly dropped, a little depressed, not as cheerful as before: "At uncle's house."

Hey, that's weird... raised in someone else's house?

Liang Youguang's parents seem to live with him, and there is his wife at home, so raising a child shouldn't be a problem, right?
"It's all because Auntie is not in good health." Erhua saw Gan Tiantian's doubts and hurriedly explained to her.

It turned out that her mother was already very weak, and after giving birth to this little daughter, she became even more ill.She has to lie in bed for most of the year, unable to do any work at all, and can only help with light housework.

"Father is working hard."

Children from poor families take charge early.At the same age, Gan Tiantian, a girl from the city, was hired as an apprentice in a workshop to help the family, not to mention Erhua, a village girl, who had already replaced her mother as the housewife.

She counted on her fingers: "In our family, my grandparents were too tired to work when they were young, and they all had old cold legs, and there were many other ailments. My mother, alas... her waist and legs are not good. Today I told her not to get up to greet the guests, but she refused to listen. I have to beat her at night."

"Father wants to earn money for our family." Erhua kicked the pebbles on the ground, lowering her head, "Eldest brother and second brother can also help the family, but... alas."

Gan Tiantian could understand what she was sighing.The so-called half-child eats me to death, the two teenagers are about the same age as their brothers, and they are doing farm work, so their appetites must not be small.It will not be easy for them to earn back their rations!

In such a farmhouse, there are several patients in the family, and the drag on the family is obvious.No wonder she had to send her own daughter to a relative's house to raise her - this is still good, it's already very humane not to throw her daughter into the toilet and drown to death when she was born.

Although Gan Tiantian had only met Liang Youguang just now, he seemed to have a very good attitude towards his wife, and the couple discussed things with each other.

Some families are much better off than the Liang family. If the daughter-in-law is ill for a long time, she may be sent back to her natal family. Among the "seven outs", there is a "disease".

Liang Youguang was filial to his parents, never left his sick wife, and raised his children well.

No wonder it is said that every time more dogs are slaughtered in righteousness, they are always scholars.The illiterate farmer in this remote village has a nobler character than many others.

Sure enough, it is easier to get close to each other among peers, Gan Tiantian didn't say much, and the little girl talked a lot about blah blah.

Although Erhua would not tell her that another owner came to invite his father to rent the fields to work.But from her words, Gan Tiantian already understood why Liang Youguang insisted on finding another job.

She still doesn't know what kind of conditions the other family has offered Liang Youguang, but judging from the reason, it will not be much more favorable than the current offer from the Gan family.

If you think about it with your feet, you know that no one's money is blown from the sky, so how can you grit your teeth and go all out to reduce the tenant's rent?It is estimated that it will benefit him in other aspects, such as letting him choose a good land to rent, helping him take care of his family, etc. Maybe the condition of having a family is just "introduce him to a good doctor".

Gan Tiantian was thinking about how to impress Liang Youguang, but was greeted by his little uncle and got into the bullock cart. It turned out that they had already finished their visit at Liang's house.

Erhua waved goodbye to her reluctantly, with the other hand still tightly clutching the bag of candy.

No need to ask, just by looking at the faces of my little uncle and brothers, I knew that this "goodwill trip" was fruitless.

Then they went to a few more visits.The attitude of each family is different, some are enthusiastic, some are indifferent, but when it comes to the renewal of the lease, they all start to laugh.

There are two more, vaguely revealing that they want to see what other people do before making a decision.

After walking in Xiaoliangzhuang all afternoon, the Gan family was really cold and tired, and even the most lively Gan Dong was listless.

When they wanted to rush to the city, they realized that the weather was not right.

"Why is the snow getting bigger and bigger!"

Gan Qiu, who was driving the cattle outside the carriage, was a little anxious: "It's hard to walk like this, I'm afraid the snow will fall more and more on the road..."

"No, you can't go on the road in such heavy snow."

Tan Yushu said: "If the road is blocked by heavy snow, we will stay on the road overnight? What if Tiantian is too cold?"

Hearing this, Gan Dong's face was filled with black lines——little uncle, haven't you considered me?Well, don't even think about mine...

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, the snow fell even more heavily.Goose feathers and heavy snow fell down one after another, and after a while the roof of the carriage and the body of the cattle were much whiter.

Tan Yushu sighed and said, "I can't go anymore, let's go to our house in the village and stay overnight."

It can only be so!

Gan Tiantian knew that his family had a house in Zhuangzi, which was actually the small courtyard of the original landlord.She has never been here before, so she doesn't know what the yard looks like, but can people live there anyway?

When I got to the place, I found that fortunately, except for some dust, the house was not dilapidated.I heard from Tan Yushu that they usually come to the countryside, and occasionally stay here for a night, or come to clean up.Today is too busy with the schedule, so I didn't plan to come here.

The Gan family was diligent, and the four of them worked together. Before dark, the house was roughly tidied up, and the stove was lit.Fortunately, there is ready-made firewood in the kitchen, otherwise I would have to borrow dry firewood from the farmer's house.

It's hard to borrow firewood in this snowy day!
"Fortunately, we still have some New Year's goods in the car." Gan Tiantian ordered his two elder brothers to tidy up the kitchen, and asked them to move the things out of the car.

They prepared a lot of New Year's goods to visit the tenants. In line with the principle of preferring more than less, they brought a few more copies, which are now in handy.

"Yeah, rice cakes, noodles, dried meat... no vegetables, so forget it."

Gan Tiantian rolled up his sleeves and began to cook an emergency farm meal for his family!
