Ordinary countryside reborn

After the double grab, it's time for Zhou Hai's college entrance banquet.

Taking advantage of the lunch time when everyone got together, Li Mei asked Tian Zhi for his opinion, "Are you going to have a wedding?"

"It's enough to have you as a representative. I still have to go to the back mountain to look at some fields above, and I have to water some fertilizer, and then cut some bamboos and come back to weave some baskets."

Tian Zhi's tone was flat, and he used various reasons to shirk, but he just didn't want to go.

Tian Yuan watched him chopping rice quickly, wishing to leave the table immediately, it was very funny, and felt that his father had too much appetite to eat, and he ate all the dishes like delicacies from mountains and seas.

Li Mei knew that Tian Zhi didn't like her eldest sister. Although the eldest sister came rarely, she always came empty-handed and took something with her when she left.

Li Mei is very close to her brothers and sisters, so naturally she doesn't think there is anything wrong with her eldest sister's behavior. If her family is not poor and has nothing to sell, she probably wants to give her sister a share of any good things.

She stopped talking to Tian Zhi, and turned to ask the three daughters, "How about you? Are you going to have a banquet with me?"

Tian Zhi sneered and almost rolled his eyes.

"Bringing so many children there, you are not afraid that your eldest sister will be unhappy if you will overwhelm their family."

"You don't have to be weird, my eldest sister is not that kind of person." Li Mei rolled his eyes at him and said angrily.

Tian Yuan agreed with Tian Zhi's words: "Dad is right, although auntie will not blame, but it is not good for us all to go, I will not go, let's see if sister and Xiaoyu go."

Seeing that the topic turned to herself, Tian Yu waved her hands hastily: "Mom, I'm not going either. School will start soon, and I haven't finished my homework yet."

At this moment, I remember that I didn’t write my homework, and I don’t know who disappeared after finishing the work. I haven’t even touched a book in a summer vacation. Tian Yuan cast a glance at Tian Yu, too lazy to expose her.

Unexpectedly, the two daughters would not go, so Li Mei had to look at Tian Jing.

"Hey, you don't even look down on banquets now, didn't you rush to eat banquets when you couldn't eat meat at home?"

Tian Jing finished eating the vegetables in the bowl leisurely, and went to pick some meat from the plate to eat, but Tian Zhi gave her a hard look before she casually put a piece of meat into the bowl.

"Looks like I'm the only one going with Mom this time. You guys are really serious. Anyway, Mom has to give gifts. If you don't eat, isn't that a loss?"

Speaking of giving gifts, Tian Zhi immediately asked: "Does Xiaohai University cost a lot of tuition? How many gifts do you plan to give?"

This really stopped Li Mei, and she stopped moving the chopsticks. After thinking for a while, she asked, "How much do you think is appropriate?"

Tian Zhi chuckled, "Will you give as much as I say?"

Li Mei slapped him and stared at him, "Just say what you want, so much nonsense!"

Tian Zhi curled his lips and said very unhappily: "Two hundred at most!"

Most of the wine gifts in their village are still five or ten yuan, and most of them don't exceed fifty. Two hundred is indeed a lot.

Li Mei frowned, she forgot to ask about Zhou Hai's tuition fee, and she didn't know if the elder sister's family had enough money.

Tian Yuan saw her worry and said, "Mom, you can discuss it with your aunt first."

"but."

She hesitated and said, "I'll be in the second half of high school, and I'm going to learn color. I have to buy paint. It's probably not cheap."

"And it is said that Xiaoyu's school now hires people to cook. You can pay for the food to the school and you can eat food in the cafeteria without having to bring food every time."

Tian Yuan patted Tian Yu's shoulder next to her, "Xiao Yu is still so skinny now, she hasn't grown anything this year, she looks malnourished, and from the second half of the year, I will pay her for vegetables so that she can eat some fresh food at school Let’s cook, eating pickles all the time is not a solution.”

Li Mei didn’t pay much attention when Tian Yuan said that she wanted to learn colors and buy paints. When she talked about Tian Yu, Li Mei looked at her little daughter. Malnourished.

Li Mei put a piece of fat meat in Tian Yu's bowl with distress, and said softly, "Xiao Yu, eat more meat, the family can afford meat now, don't just add a little bit of vegetables."

Tian Yu looked at the big piece of fat meat in the bowl at a loss. She didn't dare to refuse. She didn't even chew it twice in her mouth. She was stuffed with one mouthful. She quickly took a few mouthfuls of rice, scooped up a spoonful of pickled cabbage soup and drank it. This is more comfortable.

Now that the family eats meat every day, she is no longer greedy for meat, and the big fat meat that she didn't want to eat before is now beginning to be disgusted by her.

Li Mei looked at her with relief, and was about to continue to pick up vegetables for her, when Tian Yu quickly covered the bowl with her hand, "Mom, I'm done eating, don't pick up vegetables!"

After speaking, she immediately finished the leftover rice in the bowl, put down the bowl and ran to the room.

At this time, Tianyuan said lightly: "Eldest sister will enter vocational high school in the second half of the year, Mom, have you prepared the sheets and bedding for her yet?"

"Needless to say, I know what you mean, there are a lot of places where the family needs money now."

Li Mei sighed deeply, "Then, according to your father's wishes, pay two hundred."

She originally thought of asking about the tuition fee situation, to see if she had any money to lend to the elder sister, but now it's all over, Tian Yuan understands everything, and the little money she saved in her hand probably won't be left. .

Tian Zhi quietly extended his thumb towards Tian Yuan, then put down the bowl and returned to the room.

Tian Yuan blinked and continued: "Sister, Boss Fang said that you can go to his shop when you are done with your work. Then you can go to stay at my aunt's house. You can't run back and forth every day. The shop is also open at night."

Tian Jing was ecstatic, stared at Tianyuan and asked, "How are the wages calculated?"

"Anything above the cost price is yours."

Tian Yuan smiled and said, "You have to know the price of the clothes clearly, don't yell at them indiscriminately."

Li Mei said pleasantly: "Boss Fang is really generous! Such a good thing should be done with caution."

She turned to look at Tian Jing, "Then you can't spend the money you earn randomly. You have to hand it over all, just to pay for your education."

Tian Jing: "."

It seems that I still can't avoid going to school, Tian Jing was silent for a while, then struggled and said, "Then can I keep half of it, I also want to buy a new dress."

Li Mei had already finished her meal and was picking her teeth with a small bamboo stick, her voice was a little buzzing, "How much do you want to keep, hand it in first, and when the time comes to see how much is left, I will buy a new dress for each of you. "

Having said all that should be said, Tian Yuan didn't participate in their topic, and got up and began to clear the table.

She puts all the leftovers in a bowl and puts them in the cupboard for the afternoon. There is no refrigerator at home, and the vegetables on hot days cannot be left overnight.

There are still a lot of vegetables left at noon today, and I think it will be good to add some green vegetables in the afternoon.

Tian Jing was still bargaining with Li Mei, and Tian Yuan poured water and started washing the dishes. (end of this chapter)
