The ordinary countryside has been reborn.

Chapter 25 Are you busy?
Tian Yuan went to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables and came back, squatting on the steps to clean and peel them, while chatting with grandma sitting at the door.

She only picked an eggplant, a loofah and a few green peppers, and peeled them with a knife after washing them.This is the case in the village. Vegetables are peeled directly with a knife, without a chopping board, and they are peeled one by one into a bowl.

After frying a plate of eggplant and green peppers, Tian Yu was asked to pick up an egg from the chicken coop, and made loofah egg soup.The dishes are almost ready, just waiting for the people in the field to come back to eat.

There is less idle months in the fields, and people are busy in May.

The sun has already set, and the afterglow of the setting sun dyes the clouds in the sky into various colors, adding a gorgeous scenery to the emerald green mountains.

The Tianyuan family's house is located on a relatively high ground. At a glance, there are still many people in the field who have not returned home.They wore bamboo hats on their heads and were bent over and busy.After a while, one of them put a hoe on his back, talked with the person next to him, and then left the field together.

One after another, they all left the fields and went home; along the way, they would chat with people on the side of the road, and hearty laughter came from time to time. "Ding Dong—Ding Dong—", the sound of cow bells echoed one after another in the small village, mixed with one or two loud and long cows.

"Moo-"

Dusk, the loess path, and the mountain village slowly melt into the twilight amidst the tinkling sound of blurring to clear, and clear to blurring.

Li Mei and Tian Zhi also carried their hoes and came back in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Tian Yu saw them on the steps, and hurried back to the kitchen and said, "Second Sister, Mom and the others are back."

Tian Yuan was serving soup, seeing Tian Yu rushing over, almost spilling the soup on the ground, he slowed down, and continued pouring soup into the bowl.

She told Tian Yu in a slow manner: "Okay, then go and set the dishes. Serve a bowl of rice for grandma first, and remember to put sweet potatoes in grandma's meal."

Tian Yu hurried to the cupboard to get the bowl, when Li Mei's voice came from outside the house.

"Is the meal ready?"

Tian Zhi went to the main room to put away the tools first, and Li Mei went to the steps, turned on the tap, and washed the mud off his hands and feet.

Grandma was sitting not far from the door. Hearing her words, she smiled and said, "The meal is ready."

"Now Xiaoyu and Yuanyuan are very capable. As soon as the two of them come back, they will cook and stir-fry, and work together. When you come back, the meals will be ready."

Recently, Tian Yu is not like in the past when she came back from school, throwing down her schoolbag and running out to play; now she doesn’t go out when she comes back, she just stays at home and talks with grandma, which makes grandma very happy, and from time to time she has to spend time with Li Mei. Compliment her a few words in front of her.

After Li Mei washed the mud from her hands and feet, she splashed water on her face, and then wiped it with her hands, most of the water was thrown off.She raised her wet face, which was now full of smiles.

"You're such an old man, it's time to do something."

Seeing the loofah and egg soup on the table this time, Li Mei stopped talking about wasting the pastoral.

Li Mei is also aware of the situation of her family, which has always been lack of nutrition, and most of the time Tianyuan eats unnutritious pickles at school, so she must make up for it when she comes back.

And Tian Zhi is a very traditional man, he doesn't care about many things at home, he eats whatever is on the table, Li Mei is the one who worries about it.

After dinner, Tian Yuan asked Li Mei while washing the dishes, "Mom, is the field still busy now?"

Li Mei sat on the bamboo chair, stirring the pig food, "How can the field not be busy? This field is full of three-point planting and seven-point management. I planted seedlings before, so I have to keep watching."

After a busy day, with a sore back and a sore back, Li Mei took a peevish look at the countryside.

"I still have to grow vegetables, and I have to clean up corn and sweet potatoes. Which one doesn't need to fertilize and weed, how can I not be busy?"

She didn't stop working, and she didn't forget to tell Tian Yuan: "Why are you asking this? You can just study hard now. Don't worry about these things. The biggest thing for you now is to be admitted to high school!"

Tianyuan put the washed dishes upside down in the cupboard so that they can be drained easily, "Oh, that's right, there are about a dozen students in our school who want to make pants, let me ask if you are free first!"

Li Mei stopped immediately, looked up at Tian Yuan, her eyes were round, and she asked uncertainly, "How much? How many people do you think will make pants?"

Her sudden raised voice startled Tian Yu, who was doing her homework next to her, and raised her head. She glanced at Li Mei, then turned to look at Tianyuan.

Tian Yuan set the bowl calmly and calmly, and said in a flat tone, "Maybe there are ten, or there may be only five. I'm not sure yet."

"If you can find time, I'll tell them that they can do it." She finished setting the last bowl, picked up the dishwater and went out.

Li Mei sat quietly, still a little dazed in her mind.

After watching Tian Yuan's set of movements, Tian Yu also felt relieved, left them alone and continued to do her homework.

After a while, Tianyuan came back. She put the washbasin away, picked up the towel on the shelf next to the washbasin to wipe her hands, and turned to Li Mei, "Didn't you say you were busy just now? If you are busy, forget it."

Li Mei came back to her senses, gave her a blank look, and said sternly: "You can still spare some time to make a few pairs of pants. Tell them, you can do it!"

When making Liu Long's trousers before, she made them faster, and carefully trimmed the threads before bringing them to Xiao Meiyun. At that time, Xiao Meiyun praised them for a long time, which made her feel embarrassed.It's a pity that Liu Long went to school and couldn't try it on.

At this time, I heard Tian Yuan said that there are pants that can be done again, how can such a good thing not be done!
She asked eagerly, "What about the price?"

Tian Yuan hung up the towels, moved a small bench over, and sat down next to Li Mei, "Divided into three sizes, small size, just like mine, 30 yuan a piece, medium size 35."

She looked at Li Mei and said, "I have to buy cloth to do this myself. Considering the cost, do you think the price is right?"

Li Mei was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "It's suitable, how much is a piece of cloth, this price is not bad."

After she finished speaking, she was a little worried: "Will they really do it if it's so expensive? Going to the store to buy a pair of new pants is only the same price."

"Don't worry, one person has already decided to do it. The rest will not be confirmed until they go back and ask their family members, but there should be a few more."

Tian Yuan is not worried about whether someone will do it, she is just afraid that Li Mei will be tired: "If they decide to do it then, I will take it to them on Sunday. I am afraid that there will be too many people and you will not be able to finish it."

Hearing what she said, Li Mei couldn't stop smiling. Just as she was about to speak, she heard someone shouting outside the house.

"Meizi, are you at home?"

Li Mei looked towards the door, only to see two women with their children coming this way.
