"Come in, come in and warm up. Are you frozen? Your sister in the room has heated the kang for you. It's warm now." Seeing his relatives, Tian Yu's eyes became red again. He cried and laughed for a long time. He didn't notice the strange expressions of the other military families at all. Finally, he greeted them cheerfully and then dragged his third sister home.
After entering the house, he introduced the three children in the family and asked them to call people before leading people to the bedroom: "This is your room. When your second sister first came, she also lived in this room. You should rest for a while. We will have dinner when your eldest brother-in-law comes back."
Tian Yu had already seen that the third sister was just as the second sister said, a well-behaved and shy girl, so after bringing her to the room, she was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable, so she chatted with her for a few minutes and then prepared to go out to make lunch.
"Sister, my third sister and I will do it, you take a rest." Tian Mi handed the little fat girl in her arms to Chen Xun, stood up and waved to her third sister.
Hearing this, Tian Xin immediately came back to her senses from the surprise of having a private room, rolled up her sleeves and followed quickly.
Tian Yu slapped the second sister and scolded her with a smile: "The third sister just arrived, how can you ask people to work now?"
"Big sister, it's okay. I'm very hardworking and can do a lot of work." She felt nervous just waiting for ready-made food.
"Pfft, silly girl." She is too honest. How can someone say that he can do a job without being afraid of being bullied
Thinking of this, the worrying eldest sister felt that she should correct the third sister's temper. This person should not be too honest.
However, there was still a lot of time left, and seeing that she was really uneasy, he no longer objected to her helping in the kitchen.
When Chen Gang came back at noon, he saw through his third sister's timid nature like a rabbit at a glance, and finally understood why his wife and second sister-in-law were so anxious to bring her over.
So, at the dinner table, he tried to gently express his welcome as the elder brother-in-law, and said that his wife was pregnant and her presence would be a great help.
Sure enough, after this set of instructions, the originally reserved Tian Xin quickly relaxed.
Tian Mi was so happy to see this. His eldest brother-in-law was indeed a political commissar and was first-rate at ideological work. His words made the third sister feel more responsible, and at least her mentality of living under someone else's roof was reduced a lot.
Of course, also because of what her eldest brother-in-law said at the dinner table, Tian Xin, who had originally agreed to live in her own home for a few days, said she would not go at all. She was determined to take good care of her eldest sister and was very serious about it.
Tian Yu and Tian Mi found it both funny and sad, but they did not try to stop her too much.
At night, I was worried that the little girl would feel uneasy when she first arrived in an unfamiliar environment.
Tian Mi also stayed at her eldest sister's house, chatting with her third sister in bed.
After being apart for a month or so, the two sisters had endless topics to talk about, and Tian Xin was the one who talked most of the time, including the changes in their father these days, and Wang Hongyan's condescending attitude after marrying into the Tian family, etc. "By the way, second sister, what does your second brother-in-law look like?"
Hearing the hesitation in the little girl's words, Tian Mi looked at her in confusion: "Why do you ask this?"
Tian Xin was embarrassed for a few seconds, but finally confessed: "It's that Wang Hongyan. I don't know what she's thinking. She told everyone that my brother-in-law is old and ugly, and maybe even a second-time married woman with a baby. Otherwise, how could a group leader, who is from Beijing, marry a country girl? Anyway, I'm really annoyed by her. She just keeps gossiping."
I never thought that my husband, who in my heart could bear the highest honor of "male Bodhisattva" in terms of both figure and appearance, would be imagined as an ugly monster
Tian Mi found it funny but also a little puzzled. She didn't understand the meaning of Wang Hongyan's behavior. Is this the best way of thinking
Of course, Wang Hongyan didn't care what others thought, she was just worried that her father might think too much: "Well, I'll take your second brother-in-law to take a group photo in a few days. We'll use it as a wedding photo, and then send a copy to our dad."
As a father-in-law, you can't not even know what your second son-in-law looks like.
"What does my second brother-in-law look like? Is he handsome?"
Tian Mi poked the little girl's head as she leaned forward: "You already know Jun?"
Tian Xin returned to her pillow, with a firm look on her face: "Sister, you just like good-looking ones. I won't marry an ugly one."
“.”Is the attribute of being a face lover so obvious
However, when mentioning her husband, Tian Mi couldn't help but recall the scene at the train station when he appeared in front of her in the afterglow of the sunset.
Hmm. I miss him.
She smiled proudly and said, "Your second brother-in-law is super handsome."
"." Now it was Tian Xin's turn to be speechless, because she really had no way of imagining how handsome Super Invincible Handsome must be.
The best-looking man the little girl has ever seen in her life is her father. Tian Hongxing is a famous handsome man in their area. Even though he is fifty years old now, he is still a handsome old man, otherwise he would not have been able to give birth to so many good-looking children.
So the little girl subconsciously compared: "Is he better looking than my dad?"
Tian Mi choked. How could she describe this
My father Tian Hongxing is a handsome man in the traditional sense, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, a high nose bridge, and a very decent appearance.
Her husband Hui Huiba has a cold and hard temperament, and a three-dimensional facial contour, especially his narrow eyes, which are her favorite double-eyes. So, "Anyway, in my heart, your brother-in-law is the most handsome."
Although I suspect that my sister's words are biased, at least I can be sure that my brother-in-law is not ugly anymore.
After she had gotten over her worries, Tian Xin started talking to the other person about other topics. Gradually, she asked about her worries: "Second sister, do you think the health center will not want me tomorrow?"
Tian Mi didn't open her eyes when she heard her third sister's words while she was drowsy. She just raised her hand and patted her: "Don't worry, your second brother-in-law has arranged it. We can just report directly. But you are a medical soldier. Do you know what a medical soldier does?"
"To save people?"
There is nothing wrong with that. Tian Mi chuckled and said, "Yes, saving lives is a very important job. We need to learn it well."
Tian Xin said firmly: "I will definitely study hard, work more and talk less."
"Yes, it's okay to do more work, just think of it as learning. You have to study hard. In two years, you might be recommended to go to university. It would be great to be a doctor by then."
"Doctor?!" Tian Xin opened her eyes wide in disbelief. She? Can be a doctor
"Yes, being a nurse is just the beginning. Second sister hopes that you can set a goal for yourself and study hard. Whether you can become a doctor depends on yourself. Treating diseases and saving lives is a very sacred and serious matter. If you are sure you like this industry, then you may have to work very hard in the future."
Tian Mi brought her sisters over not just to find them a job or a man to rely on.
She always believed that girls still need to learn more and enrich themselves so that they will have more choices and confidence in the future.
Even though she had such a powerful golden finger, she never wavered in her plan to go to college in the future.
Tian Xin never thought that she could be a doctor.
To be more precise, she has always been confused about the future.
In her limited vision, she once thought that when she was about 20 years old, she would be like the girls in the village and find an honest man, have children, and farm the land for the rest of her life.
But her sister gave her another life that she never dared to imagine.
Being a doctor? How is that possible
She. A rural girl who graduated from elementary school
She's a doctor. Since she was a child, she has been the one who has been to the hospital the most among her sisters because of her poor health. She is both afraid of and admires those men in unbroken white coats.
But when her second sister told her that she also had the opportunity to become such a great doctor, the painful scenes of injections and taking medicine suddenly became less terrifying.
After a while, she said with a voice that sounded unreal and dreamy: "So, as long as I can endure hardship, I can become a doctor?"
What's so difficult about this? Which rural child can't endure hardships? She still doesn't believe that it can be harder than the busy farming season.
"That's not the case. Academic performance is also important. If you want to be a doctor, you must at least have excellent grades. Get your high school diploma first. But there's no rush. Once you've settled down at the health station, I'll take time out to teach you every day."
Although Tian Xin is young and has a soft personality, it doesn't mean she is stupid. She immediately understood that her sister had considered every aspect for her.
If she doesn't live up to her expectations, wouldn't it be a waste of her sisters' hard work
Besides, she also hopes that one day she can become the pride of her family.
She also hopes that in a few years, when her fourth sister and younger brother need help, she will be able to help them as an older sister.
Thinking of this, Tian Xin's eyes turned red again, but this time she didn't cry.
She just swore in her heart that she must not let her sisters down and work hard to be a role model for her younger brothers and sisters.
The next morning, snowflakes began to fall from the sky again.
After breakfast, Chen Gang did not go to the army immediately, but personally took his third sister to the health station.
Tian Yu is a worrier, so naturally he wanted to follow.
In the end, Tian Mi held Guoguo and Sanmei and walked in front, while Chen Gang supported his wife and followed behind. The lineup was quite large.
On the way, Chen Gang even dared to say a few words to his wife, saying that the snowy ground was slippery, and it would be so scary if she fell down.
Tian Yu was annoyed by him, but she knew he was doing it for her own good, so she suppressed her temper and explained, "Everyone will look down on people. Although the third sister's place is the reward that the younger sister deserves, outsiders don't know about it. They may really think that my brother-in-law got in through the back door. What if someone bullies the third sister because of this? With her soft personality, if she is bullied, she will probably just cry secretly behind her back. It's different now that my second sister and I are here. At least on the surface, no one dares to bully the third sister, right?"
Her husband and brother-in-law are both at the regimental level after all, and she has never thought of bullying others by relying on their status, but at least it can make others hesitate when they have the idea of bullying Tian Xin.
If they show their attention to the third sister, it can save a lot of trouble, so isn't it reasonable for her to make the trip
Of course, what Tian Yu didn’t say was that she would not only come today, but she and her second sister would come over from time to time in the future.
When the time comes, I'll bring some snacks for my colleagues at the health center. I don't expect them to take special care of my third sister, as long as they don't bully them.
It can be said that as the eldest sister, I am really worried about it.
Although the scene was a bit exaggerated, it did work.
At least after Chen Gang exchanged polite greetings with the person in charge of the health station, the procedures were quickly completed.
After receiving clothes and daily necessities, Tian Xin was specially arranged to be with the head nurse, so that she could take care of her personally.
I saw with my own eyes that my third sister had changed her clothes and was working behind the head nurse.
The two sisters, who seemed to be sending kindergarten children to school, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Before leaving, they exchanged a few warm words with the head nurse, agreed to have someone come over for dinner in a few days, and put down some snacks prepared for others before leaving together.
It all depends on the third sister herself now. After all, the most important thing is for her to do well on her own.
Tian Xin is indeed very hardworking. She has a good temper, a gentle personality, and is able to listen to others. In addition, she is very hardworking and is always eager to do anything. In just two or three days, she has established herself at the health station.
Although there is still a lot to learn, after spending a few days together, other people's resistance to her as a "relative" has been largely eliminated.
Tian Mi and her elder sister saw that the girl had become much more lively and made friends within just a few days of working. Only then did they completely put their worries to rest.
At this time, it had been 12 days since Lou Lu returned from his mission.
While Tian Mi was preparing things for the New Year, she was calculating the time for her husband to return.
Just when she thought she would wait for the man to come back first, she unexpectedly received a call from her fourth sister Tian Xue first.
When Xiao Zhang, the attendant of her eldest brother-in-law, came over to call for help, it was still snowing outside. Tian Mi did not let her sister go out. She put on her coat and followed her to the army.
After the call was connected, Tian Xue on the other end got straight to the point: "Second sister, the family has been divided. Dad, my younger brother and I went to Yaogang Town together."
As far as I remember, Yaogang Town seems to be quite far away from Chaoyang Village. There is no direct bus to it, and if you ride a bicycle, it will take eight or nine hours.
Tian Mi was surprised: "So fast? Didn't Tian Changqing and the others make a scene?"
"They made a fuss, of course they did, but Dad promised them that he would give him a job and a house in the future, and half of his salary would be given to Mom every month. They agreed immediately. Oh, by the way, Dad didn't become the director of the police station. He refused, saying that if he became the director and allocated a house, my brother and the others would still make a fuss. So now he is still a policeman, but the police station here has arranged a house for us to live in, and we just need to give 1 yuan a month as a token of our appreciation."
"How is the house? If the environment is not good, don't save money, I will send you some more."
"No need. Third sister didn't want the money you gave me last time. It's all here with me. Dad has already written to you. He said that calling is a waste of money. I thought you must be worried about home, so I ran to the post office and called you. The details of the negotiation are too complicated to explain at the moment. I also wrote to you and just sent it. By the way, second sister, how is third sister? Is she a soldier now? Ask her to write to home when she is free. The new address is on the envelope I sent."
The fourth sister was the one talking throughout the entire call, and Tian Mi barely got a chance to say a few words.
After hanging up the phone, she still felt complicated.
Tian Mi knew very well why his father gave up his job, his house, and even went to a completely new environment in his early fifties to start from the bottom again.
Thinking of this, Tian Mi took a deep breath, suppressed the various emotions surging in her heart, and smiled at her brother-in-law: "We have received a lot of phone calls recently, isn't that a bad thing?"
Chen Gang heard what he should have heard and understood his second sister's mood at the moment. He didn't ask any more questions, but just smiled and said, "Don't worry, your brother-in-law will remember the time and deduct it when the salary is paid."
Tian Mi also smiled: "Then I will go back."
"Go ahead and talk to your sister."
"Hey! I know!"
When Tian Mi returned to the family quarters and just entered the room, she saw her eldest sister with a gloomy face, dusting the sofa with a feather duster.
She was a little confused: "What's going on?"
Guoguo, the little elf, said in a baby voice: "Mom is going to get rid of the bad luck."
Tian Yu, who originally had a gloomy face, couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing: "Puchi. You are a little kid, and you still think it's unlucky?"
Xiao Guoguo raised her round little chin and said, "Mom just said it was unlucky!"
Tian Mi was also amused by the little girl, so he bent down, picked her up and tossed her around.
The little girl liked this very much, and she immediately became very excited, laughing and shouting.
Tian Mi was also happy to pamper her. She had the strength anyway, so she played with the little fat girl for a long time before putting her down. She smiled and asked the eldest sister who was watching them with a smile: "Who made you angry?"
When Tian Yu mentioned this, he lost his smile, put the feather duster on the table, picked up some peanuts and continued to peel them, saying with disdain, "Who else could it be? Zhou Dajun's mother is the mother of the deputy battalion commander of the third battalion of your brother-in-law's regiment."
"What's wrong with her?" Tian Mi sat next to her sister and picked up some peanuts to peel them.
These are all snacks to be prepared for the New Year. Tian Mi mentioned before that she wanted to change the taste for the children by making some strange-flavored peanuts or something, so the two sisters peeled some when they had time these two days.
"What's wrong? You're dreaming! I don't know why he fell in love with our third sister and wanted her to be his daughter-in-law. Hey. The key is that she looks like she likes our third sister and thinks it's a great blessing for her. She also thinks that our third sister is too thin and afraid that she can't give birth to a son, so she can't ask for a bride price and must give a dowry. I'm X%$x." Tian Yu became more and more angry as he spoke. He slammed the table a few times and swore a lot.
Tian Mi also frowned: "I remember that Deputy Battalion Commander Zhou you mentioned got married, didn't he?"
Speaking of this, Tian Yu rolled his eyes and almost rolled his eyes out: "How else can I be so angry? The person I introduced was Deputy Battalion Commander Zhou's younger brother. He came to visit relatives in the army last year. He is a second-rate person. He is so shameless!"
Tian Mi was also angry now, but she still remembered that her eldest sister was pregnant. She comforted her with a few words first, and then she picked out the story of her father's successful division of the family property to divert her attention.
Tian Yu's expression really improved a lot: "It's better to divide it up. It's also good to give those things to them. Just think of it as spending money to get rid of the disaster. In a few years, when Fourth Sister and Xiangyang are older, we will work hard to find a good place for them."
"I thought so too. By the way, sister, I still have a place for military service. Do you want to give it to my eldest brother-in-law?"
Tian Yu was drinking water, and asked in confusion: "What are you doing for your brother-in-law's family?"
There was nothing wrong with talking to her own sister, so Tian Mi spoke directly: "It's a favor! Anyway, if it weren't for the help of my eldest sister and her husband, I wouldn't have been able to marry Lao Lou. I am very satisfied with him, and my eldest sister and her husband helped me when I was in the most difficult time. I have always remembered it in my heart."
Seeing that her elder sister was frowning in disapproval, Tian Mi immediately smiled and said, "You are my biological sister, I can be thick-skinned, but my brother-in-law is my brother-in-law. Even if he doesn't want my reward, I can't pretend to be stupid, right? It's hard to get a place in the army now. I thought, maybe there are any relatives or friends in my elder brother-in-law's family who want to join the army. It's at least a favor."
This time, Tian Yu did not rush to refute, but said with a smile: "Don't you know? My brother-in-law has already given a thank-you gift for the matchmaking."
Tian Mi was confused: "When did it happen?"
"I really didn't tell you?" Tian Yu put the peanut kernels in his hand into the winnowing basket with a smile, and then grabbed a handful of shelled ones and said, "The day after I picked you up, I gave your brother-in-law a piece of mutton-fat jade."
"Suede jade?"
"Yes, it was obtained by your brother-in-law when he was on a mission before. Your brother-in-law likes to play Go, and he fell in love with that piece of jade at first sight. He wanted to use it to make a set of white pieces, haha. He asked for it several times, but your brother-in-law didn't give it to him. For this reason, your brother-in-law once had a bad intention to treat people to a meal and get them drunk, hoping to take the opportunity to trick the jade away. Unexpectedly, your brother-in-law got drunk and fell asleep. Not only did he work in vain, but he also had to pay for a good meal and wine. It made me laugh." Tian Yu still found it funny when she thought of her husband's anxious look because of that piece of mutton-fat white jade.
"Old Lou never mentioned this to me." Tian Mi also smiled, but her smile was mostly sweet. After all, her man was not a stingy person, but he had always been unwilling to give up his love. He must have really liked that piece of white jade, but in the end he gave it away as a thank-you gift for the matchmaker.
Hmm? That's not right. Did she miss something? "Sister, is mutton-fat white jade valuable?"
"Why isn't it valuable? Your brother-in-law said the piece he got must weigh four or five kilograms, and is worth more than a hundred yuan."
Tian Mi's expression twisted for a moment.
"What's the matter?"
"No" means finding a way to make a fortune.
In the era when she lived in later generations, top-quality mutton-fat jade was sold by the gram, with one gram costing nearly 20,000 yuan. If she could find a few pieces of good material, could she sit back and enjoy her later years
When I think about it this way, why do I feel like breathing is a little difficult
It’s over, it’s over, it’s about to be released!
"What are you thinking about? Why is your face red again?" Tian Yu raised his hand and touched his sister's cheek and found that it was really hot. Could she have a cold
"I miss my old Lou." I have to ask her quickly how much jade she has at home. If she doesn't have any, I will find a way to buy some. Also, there are her underwater treasures and king crabs.
Hiss. When I think about this, I want to go back even more.
"You damn girl, you have no shame."
“.”
Most people don't talk much.
That night, Tian Mi was sleeping soundly on the kang, and was having a wonderful dream of holding a jade in her arms and wandering in a sea of money, when she was awakened by a slight noise outside.
She wasn't fully awake yet, but she sat up reflexively.
Just at this moment, the bedroom door was gently pushed open.
In the darkness, a tall figure loomed up in the distance, causing Tian Mi to open his mouth in confusion: "Huihui?"
The man chuckled: "Is it me who woke you up?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lou Luhui had already pulled the light cord by the door.
The sudden bright light made Tian Mi squint his eyes uncomfortably.
When he opened his eyes again, Lou Luhui had already strode to the bedside. He bent down, stretched out his long arms, and hugged his wife with the quilt. He took a deep breath of satisfaction and whispered, "Tiantian, I miss you, all the time, even in my dreams."
Tian Mi still felt a little unreal. She knelt on the bed and subconsciously reached out to hug the man who loved to act like a spoiled child. She muttered in a daze: "I dreamed about jade too?"
Hearing this, Lou Luhui's body stiffened, then he gently loosened his arms and stared at his wife with an almost resentful look, feeling that he had made a wrong decision.
Tian Mi was stared at so hard that she became completely stiff, and then she woke up completely. He didn't say "don't look at her with the eyes of an unfaithful man". She was really sleepy. Who made her head filled with jade and getting rich overnight
Also, why did she blurt out what she said in her dream
Obviously what she wanted to say was that she also wanted to go back!!
What should I do
"What?" Listen to my excuse.
