Ordinary countryside reborn

Chapter 157
The seedlings can be planted in a few days. Taking advantage of the time now, Tianyuan pulled Tian Zhi to get the peaches off the tree, filled a whole basket, and they were even sprouting.

Li Mei first picked one to wash and eat. The peach was too big and she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to finish the whole peach, so she broke it in half and gave it to Tian Zhi. She also ordered the three sisters to give some to the surrounding neighbors.

No one wanted to go to Tian Dafu's house, and when Tian Xiao came to play, he packed a few peaches for her and took them back, which was considered a gift.

Tian Jianguo's home was a little further away, and it happened that Tian Jing didn't want to cook anymore, so she took the initiative to take the task, and went to deliver the peaches on her bicycle, and was reluctant to come back after lunch there.

At noon, Tianyuan cooked rice. When a tofu seller passed by in the morning, she bought a piece and was going to cut some meat and stir-fry it with green peppers.

First fry the tofu on one side until it turns yellow, and fry the other side for a while before serving it out. Then I dug a piece of lard out of the jar, fried the meat and green peppers, and finally put the tofu in, and what came out was a full bowl.

Tianyuan's cooking skills can only be said to be so-so, but at this time, dishes with meat and vegetables grown in their own fields are delicious, not to mention tofu.

After frying another plate of leeks and eggs, a plate of green vegetables and sauerkraut soup, Tian Yu asked someone to come back for dinner.

Not long after the meal, Tian Zhi went back to the room to rest. He was the most tired recently. He left early and came back late every day. Li Mei accompanied him back to the room. Tian Yuan had to prepare pig food, and Tian Yu was responsible for washing the dishes.

The two were busy when a voice came from outside the house.

"Is Meizi at home?"

Tianyuan stood up and walked to the door. When he saw the person coming, he smiled and called out, "Auntie, my mother is in the house. You come in first and have a cup of tea. I'll call her."

Li Xiang entered the kitchen, took the tea from Tian Yuan, her face was filled with unconcealable joy, "Okay, you go and call your mother, I will sit and rest for a while."

Tianyuan nodded and turned to enter the room, and could still hear voices behind him.

Tian Yu called her aunt and stopped talking. She was closer to her aunt who often came here, and she was relatively unfamiliar with her aunt's family.

"Xiao Yu is washing the dishes."

Li Xiang asked a few words about Tian Yu's studies, and praised her for being sensible and able to help the family with housework.

Tian Yu felt uncomfortable, answered the question obediently, quickly put the washed bowls neatly, ran to the door to pour out the water in the basin, and put the basin near the door. She didn't want to go back to the kitchen, so she went in from the other side bedroom.

Li Mei came over soon, moved a chair and sat next to Li Xiang and exchanged pleasantries.

"Sister, why are you here free? Have you had dinner?"

"I've eaten, I just came here after eating, your family is older, why isn't it at home?" Li Xiang said with a smile, since she came here, the smile on her face hasn't gone down.

"I sent peaches to her uncle."

Only then did Li Mei remember that she hadn't shared her peaches with her elder sister, so she hurriedly said to Tian Yuan, "Yuan Yuan, hurry up and wash some peaches for your aunt to taste."

"it is good."

Tianyuan put down his work, picked a delicious-looking peach from the basket in the corner, washed it on the steps, and handed it to Li Xiang when he came back.

"Okay, thank you Yuanyuan." Li Xiang took a bite of the peach and praised the deliciousness of the peach several times. Li Mei happily said that she would pack a bag to eat when she went back later.

"Mom, I'm going to feed the pigs."

Tianyuan left the kitchen with the pig food. Li Xiang saw her leaving and frowned and said: "Meizi, I'm not telling you, it's time for you to clean up Yuanyuan. A girl behaves like a boy. What will you say to others then?"

Li Mei was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Eldest sister, what are you talking about, Yuan Yuan just went to high school, what are you talking about now, it's too early."

"Then you can prepare it earlier. Her face is darker than my Xiaohai's. Don't you have to raise it first? You also have to let her go to the sun less, and I don't know how long it will take to get whiter. "

With disgust in Li Xiang's eyes, she tried her best to persuade Li Mei.

"How can you compare with Xiaohai? He looks fairer than many girls, and he is clean. The three children in your family are all outstanding in appearance. How can I compare with the few in my family?"

Li Mei didn't think too much about it, she just thought that the elder sister was caring about her daughter, so she praised Li Xiang's child in a courteous way.

Li Mei, who is shrewd in front of outsiders, also puts on a thick filter when it comes to family relationships, and is completely unable to understand the meaning of Li Xiang's words.

It's so confusing.

It was like this in her previous life. Li Xiang looked down on their sisters, and only the outgoing Tian Jing could catch her eyes. She disliked Tian Yuan and Tian Yu in various ways. Every time she saw Tian Yuan, she had to point her fingers. Even walked around her.

At that time, Li Mei was also like this. She didn't think there was anything wrong with what Li Xiang said. When Tian Yuan made it clear that she didn't like Li Xiang, Li Mei always said, "Your aunt speaks like this, and she is very good."

Adults will subconsciously ignore children's self-esteem and only think that they are still young and don't know much.

Tian Yuan stood by the door for a while, then turned and walked towards the next door.

Entering the room, seeing Tian Yu playing cards alone, Tian Yuan asked casually, "Did you finish your summer homework?"

"Not yet, there is still such a long vacation, don't be in a hurry, second sister, shall we play cards?"

Tian Yu's grades were worse than Tian Yuan's before. She didn't want to do homework at all, she just wanted to play.The pattern on the back of the card in her hand was different. It was pieced together from previous cards. It was wrinkled and the edges were frayed.

Tianyuan planned to write a novel for a while, but he didn't want to be disturbed by anyone nearby, so he said, "You go and play with Fangfang. Anyway, there is nothing going on at home now."

Tian Yu became happy in an instant, threw down the card and ran away, "Then I'm going to find Fangfang!"

After all, he was still a child and couldn't sit still for a moment. Tian Yuan shook his head and took out a pen and paper from his school bag.

in the kitchen.

"Really?" Li Mei was overjoyed, and asked repeatedly: "Has Xiaohai been admitted to a university? Which school is it? Did you get a notice?"

"As for the university of science and technology in the city, I can't remember the name even if it's so long."

Li Xiang was very proud and ate the peach with a smile on her face, "Anyway, you can come and have a wedding banquet when the time comes. I have to take Xiaohai home to tell my dad the good news. He is the first college student in our Li family."

"I have to go and say goodbye to Dad, Dad will definitely be so happy from ear to ear!"

Li Mei is really happy for the eldest sister, after so many years of hard work, she finally saw some results.

Zhou Hai didn't have to do much work at home, he was raised by Li Xiang like a nobleman, his skin was white and tender, and his clothes were brand new and clean. After school, he invited his friends to play basketball at the basketball court of a nearby elementary school. When he went to the store to buy soda, he always had money on him.

Li Xiang was reluctant to let her youngest son endure hardships. Her man was busy working in the fields outside, and she was busy working at home. In addition to busying with family affairs, she often had to work in the fields. Li Mei said several times that she didn't have to work so hard. When the child grows up, he should Do something for the family, but Li Xiang never listened.

Now that Zhou Hai is admitted to university, it can be regarded as the best reward for Li Xiang.
