Chapter 32 Auntie
After finishing the work, the mother and daughter left the street with their things in their arms, and walked to the aunt's house in the countryside.

Far away from the streets where people come and go, Li Mei speaks much louder.

Pointing at various places along the way, let Tianyuan write down, "Don't forget next time, wait until you pass the bridge in front, turn right again, and go straight ahead. Your aunt's house is on the road. By the way, just remember the location when the time comes..."

"Uh-huh."

"Okay, remember."

……

Tianyuan nodded her head seriously, and when the two of them got on the bridge, their hair was blown up by the wind. Fortunately, she had short hair, so she straightened it out with a single grasp...

It's about ten o'clock in the morning, the sun is strong, and Tian Yuan has wiped his sweat several times holding the cloth!
"Mom, hurry up, slow down, Auntie is probably going to keep us for lunch."

The countryside is hot and thirsty, and I just want to go to my aunt's house for a cup of tea.

"Hurry up, your aunt's house is only a little better than ours, so you can't stay at her house for dinner."

"Hurry up!"

Li Mei speeded up, Tianyuan walked even faster, and it didn't take long for her to see her aunt's house.

The two-story cement brick house is next to the roadside. Vegetables are planted on both sides of the house and surrounded by bamboo fences. A big rooster is leading a group of hens to forage beside the side.

There was a woman washing clothes on the steps. She was sitting on a small bench, holding the clothes and rubbing them vigorously on the washboard, concentrating all her energy on her arms, putting some water in the basin from time to time, and continuing to rub them.

"Auntie!"

Tianyuan yelled, but the woman didn't respond, she was still rubbing her clothes seriously.

Tian Yuan walked forward quickly, and continued to shout: "Auntie!"

The woman paused for a moment, raised her head and looked ahead, and saw Tian Yuan and Li Mei more than ten meters away at a glance.

She didn't see the person clearly for a while, so she didn't dare to respond rashly. She waited for them to get closer to confirm who it was, and a smile appeared on her face: "Hey! It's Yuanyuan, it's grown up so much!"

She still saw Tian Yuan during the Chinese New Year. At that time, Tian Yuan was not talkative and very timid. Now the appearance has not changed, but it feels different.

"Haha, auntie, do you think I've grown taller?" It was a novel experience, she hadn't grown in ages.

Sitting in front of the computer every day, with a body that seldom exercises, at the age of 30, I began to feel that my body has gone downhill, and my condition is obviously not as good as before.Now hearing my aunt say that she has grown up, Tian Yuan burst out laughing.

The current aunt is still very young, and she has not been tortured by her son until her face is full of vicissitudes.Now, everything is fine except that they are all poor!

"Grow taller, indeed a little taller."

Li Juan smiled brightly. She turned on the faucet next to her and washed her hands casually, then wiped the apron on her body. She stood up and looked at Li Mei behind her. Her smile became even brighter. She asked with concern: " Second sister, why are you here, do you have anything to do?"

Now it's busy farming time, if there is nothing important, I will definitely not go to the street.Not to mention that Li Mei's house is so far away, it takes hours to walk.

Li Juan is all smiles, and now she is full of enthusiasm for life.

Li Mei also replied with a smile: "It's something, I came to the street to do some shopping, and I happened to come and see you after I finished shopping."

The two were about to exchange a few words at the door, Tian Yuan hurriedly asked: "Auntie, is there any tea? We walked all the way, so thirsty!"

Li Juan patted her head with one hand, "Oh, yes, yes, hurry up, go in and drink tea first, ouch, why don't you take some tea away, how can you stand the thirst for so long in such a hot weather!"

She muttered with concern, and quickly led the two of them to the kitchen for tea.

Tianyuan drank two full bowls of tea to quench his thirst, and then replied: "Auntie, we set off before dawn, and we left in a hurry, so we didn't have time to prepare."

"Yeah, I want to leave early, and it's not hot in the morning, so I won't be exposed to the sun, so I didn't bring water." Li Mei also drank a bowl of tea, feeling much more comfortable, she wiped her mouth with her hands, and asked : "Are you still busy in the field? Where is Jianguo?"

Li Juan took the tea bowl in Li Mei's hand and said with a smile: "He has gone to the mountains. There is not much firewood at home. Now all he burns are coal. This thing is too expensive. He wants to cut some firewood and burn it back. Can save some money."

"The field is not busy, there is only so much land, and it has already been busy."

Li Juan made tea again, handed it to Li Mei, and asked with concern: "What are you doing on the street? Do you want to help?"

Li Mei took the hot tea and put it aside first, and said with a smile, "It's done. There are a few students in Yuanyuan's school who are making pants. They took their money and came here to buy fabrics today."

Li Juan gave another bowl of tea to Tian Yuan. After hearing Li Mei's words, she asked curiously, "Pants? What pants? Are you in the clothes business now?"

Speaking of this, Li Mei immediately beamed and said happily, "Yuanyuan drew a pair of trousers for me to make, but I didn't expect them to look good. Many children in the village like them, and I have already made several pairs. But the ones in the village only charge labor costs, and the cloth they provide themselves.”

Li Mei made some progress, and Li Juan was also sincerely happy for her. She smiled and asked, "What kind of pants are they? Yuanyuan can also draw, so good, that's amazing!"

Li Juan looked at Tian Yuan gratifiedly, with doting eyes in her eyes, "Yuan Yuan, you can draw pictures, you are really good, you are about to take the exam now? Are you confident to be admitted to high school?"

The elders like to ask about grades, but at Tianyuan's psychological age, it feels so fresh.

Tian Yuan said with a smile: "Auntie, I'm starting to save for high school tuition now, so I must be admitted to high school."

Li Juan laughed, and patted Tian Yuan with her hands, "Very well, my family Wang Jun is still a devil in the world, and he must learn from you."

Li Mei also looked at Tian Yuan, and said with a slightly proud tone: "The two Yuanyuan sisters are very capable now, and they will do everything at home as soon as school is over, so we don't need to worry about it."

Li Juan also nodded with a smile: "Yuanyuan has changed a lot. She is more talkative than before, and everyone is more cheerful."

Tian Yuan played the role of an obedient child, smiling slightly and not interrupting.

The two sisters Li Mei haven't seen each other for a long time, and they have endless conversations, and time slipped away without knowing it.

The elders chatted, as a pastoral with little right to speak, they could only memorize chemical knowledge on the sidelines, recalling the previous exam questions, checking for gaps and making up for omissions.

"Second sister, stay for lunch!" Seeing that it was getting late, Li Juan got up to prepare lunch.

Li Mei forgot the time while chatting, so she hurriedly stood up and grabbed Li Juan, "We are going back to eat, you can cook your own, we are still in a hurry to go back!"

"Oh, it's already here, why don't you even eat a meal." Li Juan said anxiously, "I'll cook now, soon, you guys wait a little longer."
