The ordinary countryside has been reborn.

Chapter 96

Eating at Li's house is not as casual as Tian's house, there are still a set of rules.

For example, you can’t drop the rice on the ground, you have to pick it up and eat it; you can’t stretch your hands to the opposite side when someone picks up the food, and cross the food; you have to sit properly, you can’t squat or stand to eat, and you can’t chew too loudly, etc. wait.

Tian Yuan was told by an elder in his previous life that the Li family used to be a landowner family, and the family was still very wealthy when he arrived at the grandpa, but later declined, but there are still many rules passed down.

Grandma Li asked everyone to eat more vegetables, and would give Tian Yu a piece of food from time to time. Tian Zhi toasted Li Guojun. Practice once, or you will get drunk before I have fun, hahaha."

Tian Zhi blushed, and said embarrassingly: "Dad, I'd better wait for the elder brother-in-law to come and drink with you. I can't drink like this."

Li Guojun didn't persuade him to drink anymore, he drank slowly by himself, looked at the three granddaughters, and asked Tian Jing: "Xiao Jing, how is it working outside, have you made any money back?"

Tian Jing was eating chicken, when she heard the question, she put down the meat, rolled her eyes, raised her head and said proudly: "Grandpa, I earned 200 yuan and came back."

I went out for half a year and brought back 200 yuan, which seemed to be spent extravagantly.

Li Guojun smiled and said, "I brought money back with me. When your mother sent you out, she only wanted you to support yourself. I didn't expect you to save money. Not bad!"

After praising Tian Jing for a few words, Li Guojun turned to Tian Yuan and asked, "Where is Yuan Yuan, have you gone to high school, can you keep up with your studies?"

Before Tian Yuan could answer, he turned his head to look at Li Mei and Tian Zhi, and said: "You are living a much better life now than before, the children's nutrition must keep up, don't be reluctant to eat, it's almost fine if you don't have enough food , They are more strenuous than others in reading, and it is impossible for them to not keep up with nutrition."

He heard from Li Mei and Tian Zhi that the family's way of making money was found in the countryside. Now he looks at this granddaughter with admiration. It seems that she is smart. He doesn't know how to study. The Li family has not yet had a college student.

"Grandpa, my mother is willing to part with it now. Meat is always eaten at home." Tian Yuan said with a smile.

It is not too big for fish and meat. It is also very good to have a few pieces of meat in each dish.

Li Guojun didn't believe that his second daughter, who was used to thrift, would be so generous. He nodded and said seriously: "Since you have eaten well, you and Xiao Yu have to study hard. Don't be afraid of hard work. When your mother and the others are studying, I can only go to school for half a day, and work in the fields for the other half. At that time, I don’t have much food, and if I don’t do well, I will be beaten.”

Tian Yu ate with her head down, she didn't want to get involved in this kind of topic, she just hoped that the adults would not notice her, but Li Guojun didn't do what she wanted.

He sighed: "I don't know how much better your conditions are now, Yuanyuan, Xiaoyu, you have to study hard, don't let down your parents' hard work, and don't let down your own future."

After a warning, he picked up the glass and continued to drink after seeing the two nodding seriously.

Thinking of those difficult days before, the atmosphere is inevitably a bit heavy.

Li Mei changed the topic: "Dad, Yuanyuan is very valued by the teachers at school, and her Chinese teacher even taught her to write articles!"

"Oh?" Li Guojun laughed heartily, and said to Tian Yuan: "Then you have to work harder. Your brother Hai will take the college entrance examination next year, and I don't know if he has any hope of passing the exam. If both of you can pass the exam, we The Li family can produce two college students."

Li Guojun blushed, picked up the wine glass and drank the rest of the wine in one gulp, obviously quite satisfied with the family status of his daughters.

Family and everything prosper, as long as the husband and wife work together, the family will prosper sooner or later.

After lunch, Li Guozhong next door also came back. He was not at home in the morning, and now that he is back, Tian Yuan's family also went to visit him with gifts.

Being idle and bored, Tian Yuan and Li Guozhong played chess in the main room. They drew nine grids on the ground with wooden sticks, picked up small stones as chess pieces, and lost seven out of ten games.

Tian Yuan shook his head and sighed, "Grandpa, you are too good, I can't beat you."

Li Guozhong's right hand could not move, his wrist was crooked to his armpit, his fingers were down and close together, and his elbow joint could not be straightened.He was sitting on a small bench, pointing at the Jiugong grid with his left hand: "When you play chess, you need to look at the overall situation. Take one step and think about the next few moves. Sometimes it's okay to sacrifice a few pieces. Don't think about winning without any loss." .”

Tian Yuan nodded, she understood the truth, but there was no way to do it.

At about 02:30 in the afternoon, Grandma Li and Tian Yu stayed at home, and the others followed Li Guojun to the mountains.

This time I came to grandma's house mainly to help pick peanuts.

Li Mei knew that the two younger brothers had both gone to other places to work after the double grabbing.The Li family didn't have a separate family, and they planted a lot of peanuts. Li Guojun was busy alone, and he didn't know how long he would be busy, so Li Mei arranged her own affairs and came up with Tian Zhi to help.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, because the clothes were not finished, I didn't have time to come here. This time, I took advantage of the National Day holiday and took the children to visit my grandparents.

There are people busy picking peanuts everywhere on the mountain, but peanuts are not picked casually, it depends on the sky.

It's just that it hasn't rained for a few days recently, and the land on the mountain is not moist enough. Pulling out peanuts is easy to break, and the fruit of the peanuts will be left in the ground. It is very troublesome to deal with them at this time.

What I am most afraid of is that there will be no rain around the beginning of autumn. Once there is a drought, there is no way to do it, and the peanuts will still be harvested.

Li Guojun and Tian Zhi each carried a hoe, and used the hoe to hoe the peanut plants out of the ground.Generally, hoe from around the peanut plant, and do not use too much force, unless the soil is very hard because it has not rained for a long time.

Li Mei led Tian Yuan and Tian Jing bent over holding baskets, and followed behind to pick the peanuts they hoeed.

First pull out the peanuts one by one from the ground, hold the seedlings with your hands and lift them up, and the peanuts are pulled out.Shake the soil vigorously and arrange it well.In summer, the weather is extremely hot, and the sweat will flow like rain after a while, and the soil and sundries brought out by the peanuts will stick to the whole body, making it extremely uncomfortable.

Tired of picking peanuts, they didn't care about the soil on the ground, so they sat down on the peanut seedlings and continued picking peanuts.

The sky was getting dark, and the unpicked peanuts were tied up, and each person carried a load and walked home.Tian Yuan and Tian Jing each carried two bundles of peanuts, while the three adults carried a large bundle on their shoulders.

Tianyuan actually doesn't like picking peanuts. She repeats the same action all afternoon. This is a test of patience. She feels that only her body is moving, and she doesn't know where her consciousness has drifted.

Thinking that when I have money in the future, I must buy equipment for picking peanuts. Such manual labor is too inefficient.

Pulling peanuts usually lasts for several days on average by manpower, because the weather is hot and the work is very cumbersome.
