Ordinary countryside reborn

Chapter 26 An Inch of Time

Li Mei greeted the guests, and Tian Yuan had already gone to make tea.

Put a few pieces of fine tea leaves, sesame seeds in the tea bowl, and pour boiling water into it.Now there are no peanuts, soybeans, or fried rice at home, so I can only make such a simple bowl of tea to entertain guests.

Everyone brought them a bowl of tea, and Tian Yuan stood aside to listen to the adults talking.

"Meizi, have you guys finished your meal? Tian Zhi is busy again?" the fat woman on the left asked with a smile.She took the tea from Tian Yuan, and put it on the ground because it was too hot.

"Yeah, I've eaten. Tian Zhi is here. What are you looking for?" During the busy farming season, few people would stop by to chat, and Li Mei was very curious about the two coming together.

But they didn't come to Tian Zhi.

The two explained their purpose. It turned out that the two children had seen the trousers worn by Liu Long, and later realized that they could not buy them in the store, so they had to ask Li Mei to make a pair of the same trousers.

They also went to Liu Long's house to inquire about the price, and when they heard that the price was not expensive, the family could afford the money. Without much hesitation, the two of them went to look for Li Mei together.

Li Mei immediately agreed with a smile on his face, measured the size of the two children next to him according to the procedure, took the money, agreed on a time, and then sent a few people away.

During this process, the smile on her face never stopped.

Tian Yuan: "Mom, are you happy?"

Li Mei smiled and nodded: "Happy!"

Tian Yuan: "But the pig is very unhappy."

Li Mei looked at her suspiciously: "Huh?"

Tian Yuan: "They are too hungry to scream."

The pig food prepared by Li Mei was already cold. She chatted so happily that she forgot that the pig, which used to be the main source of income for the family, hadn't had dinner yet.

……

In the early morning of the next day, Tian Yuan took Tian Yu out to school amidst the sound of cock crowing.

Last night, Li Mei gave the two sisters one yuan pocket money each, and didn't get up this morning to make breakfast for them.

Tianyuan boiled eggs for Tian Yu herself. If there is no nutrition, she will not grow taller. She still wants to grow a little taller.Tian Yu was so happy to eat the eggs that she jumped all the way to Tian Xiao's house.

Tian Dafu happened to be having breakfast too, Tian Yuan only called him and took Tian Yu to the next door to find Tian Xiao.Anyway, Tian Dafu wouldn't ask them to eat together, so why bother watching him put on a dirty face.

After waiting for Tian Xiao to go to Wang Xiuhong's house together, all the way to the asphalt road, Tian Yu had already separated from them.

Wang Xiuhong had never heard of it before, "...Tsk tsk tsk, just now Huang Chao and Liu Long have become the central figures, surrounded by a group of people, look at their complacent appearance."

In fact, Huang Chao didn't think too much about the pants at the beginning. It was because Liu Long was so active in buying his friends, which inevitably affected him.

Last Sunday night, he couldn't help telling his family that he asked his mother to buy him one too.So now he and Liu Long can show off among a group of boys in new pants.

"Yuanyuan, didn't you ask how to make money on the road last time? I think your mother can make clothes, so many people like it, you can open your own shop!"

The more Wang Xiuhong thought about it, the more she felt it was a good idea!
She clapped her hands together and talked nonstop: "I can also make various colors, I want orange, and I can also make a matching dress. Wow! I want to buy them all, let alone those who can't buy them." The person who started it, you say, don’t you?”

There was no need for the other two to answer. She continued on her own, "It's a pity that my mother can't do it, or I can let my mother do it for me. Sigh, only your mother can make this money!"

"If your mother opens a store, you can buy some other things. I want to buy the kind of ribbons used to tie hair. Someone in our class tied them up. Look carefully. I don't know where they bought them. Maybe they are in the town. I also Want to go to town to see…”

Seeing her chattering posture, Tian Xiao interrupted: "You don't think it's so easy to open a shop, do you? Don't you need money?"

"It's so expensive to rent a store, and you have to raise money everywhere to collect the rent. You don't have any money to buy goods, and you have to pay a lot of money before you make money. What if the business is not good and you owe a lot of debt?"

"If you don't rent a shop, it's in our village. How many people do you think buy clothes often? It's not a long time before they buy one?"

"The clothes of the people in the village have not been worn for several years. The adults say that they are new for three years, old for three years, and mended for three years. Brothers and sisters pass them on to younger brothers and sisters, and then give them to relatives' younger brothers and sisters."

Tian Xiao kicked the pebbles on the side of the road, and glanced at Wang Xiuhong speechlessly, "You think too simply, don't look at the way many people are chasing after it now, how many people actually bought it?"

"If ten people in the village buy it, it's considered top-notch, and after they bought it this time, most of them won't buy it again for a long time. They can't afford food, and they still buy clothes. I'm afraid it's not for money!"

Tianyuan nodded with a smile on the side: "Yes, Xiaoxiao is right, it is impossible for so many people to do it. Considering the reality, most families in the village are a little bit better than mine, even if there is a little savings, I have to keep it for the children to go to school, it is impossible to buy clothes, with this money, it is better to buy some meat to eat."

All of this was expected, Tian Yuan didn't want to rely on this to earn high school tuition, she had other plans.

Several people discussed all the way to the school, and each entered their own classrooms for early self-study.

When Tian Yuan went to the classroom and sat down, He Yuting next to her only glanced at her and continued to work on the questions.

Tian Yuan lamented He Yuting's hard work, and she has actually been working hard.

Now in the self-study class, the students in the class seldom whisper to each other, they are all seriously reading and reviewing.

Although there will inevitably be students who do not love learning and are naughty in a class.

But now that the senior high school entrance examination is approaching, as long as everyone occasionally sees the countdown on the blackboard, many students will feel nervous in their hearts, and then feel the learning atmosphere of the class, and the classroom will be much quieter than before.

There are a few girls in the class who used to like to read campus romance magazines in class, harass the left and right classmates, and don't listen to the lectures in class.But now, I started to study during the self-study class, even the poor students stopped playing, and the learning atmosphere in the class became more positive than ever.

Although today's children don't have much concept of cherishing time, they are still young and have a long life, and now they have plenty of time to play.

They also don't know that there are many things in life that cannot be missed, and the loss will never come again, and the length of time cannot make up for the regrets that have been caused.

The countdown on the blackboard is a reminder that an inch of time is worth an inch of gold.It has changed many students' attitudes of turning a deaf ear, blindly optimistic, and learning sloppy.
