The ordinary countryside has been reborn.

Chapter 15

The house of Tian Xiao's family is still below Liu Fang's house, and they have to go down a small slope. Tianyuan ran down the main road after a few steps.

The so-called main road is just wider than the field road, and it is still a dirt road that has been stepped on hard, with potholes everywhere.

After crossing the road, Tian Xiao's house is opposite.

There is an old house on the left, with a muddy wall covered with tiles. After a long time, the surface layer has become loose and pulverized.

This is the old house of grandfather Tian Dafu, where he and his uncle live.

On the right is a one-story house built with cement hollow bricks. This is the house of Tian Xiao's family.

The third uncle, Tian Guan, went to the army when he was young, and later he made some money outside and brought it back, so he told Tian Dafu that he wanted to build a house and marry a wife.

When Tian Dafu separated his family, he assigned himself to Tian Guan's family.

He especially likes Tian Guan, who is a soldier, and thinks he is the most promising among his brothers, and he will definitely become a high-ranking official in the future.

He has four sons. When he separated the family, he gave all the four elders in the family, including himself, to his sons.

Who is assigned to support is determined by lottery, which seems to be quite fair.

He held several small sticks of different lengths, each stick representing an old man, and let the four sons draw it.

However, Tian Guan was not at home when he was a soldier, and Tian Dafu picked him on his behalf.

In order to build a house for Tian Guan, Tian Dafu took out half of his savings, and with the help of several other sons, he built the house.

The gate of Tian Guan's house has not been opened yet, but this gate is often closed, and Tian Yuan is used to it.

It is said that when the house was being built, Tian Guan said that he could see the sun rise every day when he opened his eyes, so that he would be more energetic in the morning
Now the gate is facing the east, the sun comes out early in the summer morning, and the sun rises very quickly. When the door is opened, the sun shines on the bed, making it impossible to sleep.

So this door is closed most of the time.

She came to Tian Dafu's earthen house, the wooden door was open, she walked in directly.

The room was a little dark, at this time Tian Dafu and his uncle Tian Bing were eating around the fire pit, Tian Yuan called out: "Grandpa, uncle."

Hearing the sound, Tian Dafu raised his head and glanced at her, and a voice came out of his nostrils, "En."

He ate his meal in a leisurely manner and didn't intend to talk to Tian Yuan.

Tian Bing turned his head to see Tian Yuan, smiled and said, "Yuan Yuan, it's so early, have you eaten yet?"

"I've eaten, I'm here to look for Xiaoxiao, is she up yet?"

"You should get up. I heard noise from them before. Go over and have a look." Tian Bing replied uncertainly.

"Okay." Tian Yuan glanced at Tian Dafu again, said nothing, and walked towards the side door.

The two houses are next to each other. After passing through this door, you will arrive at the backyard of Tian Xiao's house.This is an open space of seven or eight square meters, and some firewood is piled in the corner.

Tian Xiao was squatting on the steps to wash her face, when she saw Tian Yuan approaching, she said, "Have you eaten? Why is it so early?"

Greetings in rural areas, "Have you eaten?" is a habitual colloquial language, and it is the beginning of a conversation when we meet and chat. As long as we meet and say hello, it is basically asking "Have you eaten?"

Tian Yuan said: "I've eaten, let's go to Xiuhong's house to play with her later."

Tian Xiao herself loves to play, and now she is at this playful age, when she heard this, she immediately poured washing water onto the ground below.

"Okay, then I'll go to grandpa's house for a bite to eat, it'll be ready soon, you wait for me." She said anxiously, afraid that Tianyuan couldn't wait to play by herself.

Tian Yuan stared at the paintings on the earthen house. There were plum blossoms, birds, bamboo, etc. on them, which looked like fine brushwork in traditional Chinese painting.

Tian Yuan used to like to look at these paintings, and every time he came to play with Tian Xiao, he would stare at these paintings for a long time.

She heard from her grandma that these were all painted by her grandma when she was young.

Tianyuan doesn't know what kind of family his grandma was in when he was a child, but people who can draw such paintings are not like those who can be raised in such a small village.

At this time Tian Xiao rushed out, she still had a piece of rice in her mouth, it seemed that she ate too eagerly.

Tian Yuan smiled and pointed to the corner of her mouth: "Do you want to save this rice for the New Year?"

"Ah, oh." She wiped the rice from the corner of her mouth, threw it into her mouth and ate it.

"Let's go quickly, Xiuhong must have finished eating too." She said impatiently.

"it is good."

When he was on the road, Tian Xiao noticed that Tian Yuan was wearing a pair of new pants today, which looked pretty good.She asked directly: "Yuanyuan, when did you buy these pants and how much?"

If it is not very expensive, she would also like to buy one.I either wear school uniform trousers or old trousers all day long. I haven’t changed new trousers for a long time.

Since Yuanyuan can afford it, it must not be expensive, Tian Xiao thought.

Tian Yuan didn't answer, but asked instead, "How much do you guess?"

Tian Xiao stretched out his hand to touch his pants, walked around her again, thought for a while, and said, "30 yuan?"

"No."

"35?"

"No."

"forty?"

Tian Yuan stretched out his index finger and shook it: "No."

"You didn't say you wanted 50 yuan, did you?" Tian Xiao asked in shock.

If it's so expensive, why not buy a pair of jeans.

Tianyuan smiled, and just about to answer, he heard the sound of playfulness.

They have reached the corner, and they will reach Wang Xiuhong's house a few houses ahead.

There is a bungalow on the side of the road, which is the house of Liu Long and his family.

People of the same age in the village go to school together. Liu Long is also their elementary school classmate. Now they study together in junior high school, but they are in different classes and rarely see each other.

At this time Liu Long and another boy ran out, the two of them were chasing after each other, and they saw Tian Xiao from the corner of their eyes.

Liu Long asked curiously, "Where are you going?"

Tian Xiao didn't want to talk to him. When he was in the same class in elementary school, boys like Liu Long often bullied their girls, especially Liu Long, who often fought with others. Tian Xiao didn't like him very much.

She just wanted to pull Tian Yuan away, but she didn't. Tian Xiao looked at Tian Yuan puzzled, but saw Tian Yuan smiled and said to Liu Long: "We are going to Wang Xiuhong's house to do homework, do you want to come together?"

How could he do homework with them!

Tian Xiao was shocked by Tian Yuan's question, and looked at her in a daze.

Tian Yuan had already bent slightly to take out a pen and notebook from the side pocket of his trousers, and shook them at Liu Long.

How can Liu Long be a person who does homework, he often skips classes, what fun can there be in doing homework.

At this moment, he just stared at Tian Yuan's pants.

I have never seen such cool pants, so many pockets, especially the black leg pockets are so cool.

Liu Long liked the trousers very much, so he asked directly, "I don't do my homework. Where did you buy these trousers?"

Although their family only built a one-story bungalow, they are actually relatively rich, but there are few people in the family, so they don't think it is necessary to waste money by building two floors.

At this moment, he just wanted to know where he could buy these pants, and how much he could buy them.
