Ordinary countryside reborn

"How much does this dried tofu cost?"

"Cut two more pieces of tofu for me, and some konnyaku..."

At this time, there were quite a lot of people in the vegetable market. Li Mei came here to buy tofu first as a habit, while Li Juan went to the pork stall to chop meat. When Li Mei found out, Li Juan was about to pay, and Li Mei hurried over. Rushing to pay.

Whenever they encounter this kind of money issue, the two sisters always refuse to give in to each other, and then have an argument match on the spot. This kind of scene is not limited to two people. At least the elders I have seen in Tianyuan have this habit. .

You stop me, I pull you, the stall owner can only wait with a smile, the customer is God, whoever pays can decide the result quickly.

Tianyuan would not interfere in this kind of thing. She could not understand the fun of the elders. She went to the fish seller and picked a big fish. When she returned with the fish, the two of them had already decided who would pay.

After buying some other vegetables, the three of them left the vegetable market.

"Yuanyuan, I didn't think you were this dark before. Why have you turned dark again?" Li Juan asked curiously.

She turned to her sister and said: "Second sister, Yuanyuan is a big girl now. You have to let her do less work under the sun. Xiaojing is not that dark. Don't look at Yuanyuan's obedience. Just call her hard!"

Tianyuan pursed his lips and smiled without saying a word.

Li Mei was stunned by what he said, and then looked at her second daughter seriously.

It seems to be quite dark. She usually doesn't notice this at home. People in the village are quite dark. After seeing it too much, she has no idea whether it is dark or not.

Li Mei looked up at the sun in the sky and narrowed her eyes due to the dazzling light.

"She's just like this. She doesn't resist the sun and gets tanned when she's exposed to the sun."

Seeing Li Juan's disbelieving look, Li Mei had no choice but to say: "It's such a hot summer, so we can't let her go out. Then she has to be able to stay."

Even though it's autumn now, it's still quite hot under the sun.

The three of them turned a corner and walked toward Xinjie. At the intersection, they saw Liu Meixiang busy and busy. There were several people queuing in front of the stall. She didn't even have time to raise her head. The Malatang business next door was also very popular.

The whole street was full of people coming and going, noisy and lively.

Feeling the aroma of the delicious food and the crowds of people here, Li Mei said happily: "It's really lively today. There are so many people taking to the streets. It's really good to do business in the town."

Li Juan also smiled cheerfully: "Today is different. It is the day when students start school. It is normal for there to be more people."

After crossing the intersection, the number of people slowly began to decrease. I walked onto the stone arch bridge, looked at the houses and vegetable fields in front of me, and listened to the sounds coming from the street behind me. It was like being caught between two worlds. A move.

There are dogs walking around on the road, and they rarely bark when they see strangers. Only the dog tied at the door of the house will bark a few times, as if to warn passers-by not to approach.

Tianyuan observed while walking. Whether you are painting or writing a novel, you need to observe more.Get more inspiration and materials through contact with the world and real life experience.

"Come in quickly, I'll pour you a bowl of tea first."

Li Juan wiped the sweat from her forehead, waved to Tianyuan who was walking at the end, and then carried her things into the kitchen.

"Why do you, a young man, walk slower than us? You don't mind being basked in the bright sun. Later, your aunt will say that you are as hot as coal."

Li Mei couldn't stand Tianyuan's procrastination, so she reached out and took the fish from her hand to see if the fish was still alive.

"Mom, don't rely on my aunt for adding a metaphor casually. My aunt has obviously never said such a thing." Tian Yuan sat on the nearest chair, picked up a cattail leaf fan thrown next to the chair, and slapped Li Mei a few times. He stood up and asked: "How is it? Is the fish still alive? How about waiting for my uncle to come back and cook this fish? The braised fish he makes is particularly delicious!"

Thinking of the fish that his uncle cooked during the Chinese New Year, Tianyuan swallowed involuntarily.

During the Chinese New Year at grandma's house, the three sisters Li Mei and their husbands came on stage and each cooked a special dish, including fish, meat, chicken and duck. The uncle made the braised fish. Unfortunately, there were so many people at that time that one fish I didn't even take two bites before it was sold out.

Maybe it was because he ate too little that Tian Yuan could not forget that dish.

"Are you disgusted with my and your aunt's cooking skills now? Then let me do it and see if you eat it or not." Li Mei rolled her eyes at her and walked to the kitchen carrying her things.

Tianyuan shrugged helplessly, leaned back with his eyes closed, thinking about something in his mind.

There were footsteps at the door, and soon people came in.

"Huh? Why are you here? Where is my mother?"

Tianyuan slowly opened his eyelids and looked at the person as if he was about to fall asleep.

Perhaps because she didn't respond, Wang Jun stopped paying attention to her, walked towards the place where the noise came from, and shouted: "Mom~"

Li Juan brought out a bowl of tea. When she saw him, she said, "Where have you been? You look sloppy. Go wash up quickly."

"Don't block the road here. There are guests here today. Be obedient!" Li Mei glared at Wang Jun and walked around him towards the countryside.

Wang Jun didn't get angry even after being scolded, and walked toward the stairwell with a bang.

"Thank you, auntie. Please take a break and let my mother cook. She just told me that she was going to make braised fish."

Tianyuan took the tea handed over by Li Juan and put it on the ground to cool down. He moved a chair from the side to behind Li Juan and motioned for her to sit down.

Li Juan enjoyed the service in the countryside and envied Li Mei again. Her daughter was like a little cotton-padded jacket. When did Wang Jun move a stool for her? It would be a good thing not to compete with her for the stool.

"Did Wang Jun not call you sister again? This brat is lawless now. When he goes to school tomorrow, I can be clean for a while."

Tian Yuan looked at Li Juan's expression and said, "He is only half a year younger than me. He is probably too embarrassed to shout out."

Tianyuan kept chatting with Li Juan, and it wasn't until Wang Jianguo came back with a hoe that she realized that she had forgotten to cook...

The final braised fish was completed under the guidance of Wang Jianguo, which satisfied Tian Yuan’s appetite.

After the meal, Li Juan said to Wang Jun: "By the way, Xiaojun, your sister Jing also went to your school. You usually go to her place to see if there is anything you can do to help. Carrying water, moving things, can you Just help out with whatever you can do.”

"Then do you need help? Xiaojun, don't listen to your mother. Is there anything in the school that needs to be moved? If you want to carry water, even though Xiaojing is a little small, she is still very strong." Li Mei laughed. He said to Wang Jun.

As she stood up to help clean up the things on the table, Li Juan refused to let her help, so Li Mei went to fetch water to help wash the dishes.

……

The two sisters started another round of argument, and they didn't know how many times it would take for them to get tired of this back and forth.

Tianyuan sat on a chair and watched their performance quietly. (End of chapter)
