Old Mrs. Tian planted a few corns under the wall, but she didn't dare plant too many. If she planted a little, people could turn a blind eye if they saw it. But if she planted too much, she would easily be reported. After all, corn is a grain crop, and they are not allowed to grow grain in the vegetable garden.
The corn grown by Old Mrs. Tian could only feed her family once, and they couldn't have a second meal.
Tian Tian chewed on the tender, soft and sweet corn and felt that all the corn she had eaten before wasted. In her previous life, she had specially bought some milk corn, which tasted exactly like this tender corn. Just before cooking, she secretly picked up a small grain from it, which tasted sweet and juicy, much better than the milk corn.
"Second son! After dinner, please pull out those corns in the backyard and also pull out the corns on top." Old Mrs. Tian said while chewing on corn.
"Okay!" Tian Lilin agreed.
The corn was quickly eaten up. Tian Tian was still not full, so she had to eat the eggplant with the bean flour pancakes that Old Lady Tian had made at noon.
Each of them gets only one cob of corn, no more.
Tian Tianxin felt a little regretful. The corn grown by their team definitely could not be eaten now. It had to be distributed to everyone after the autumn harvest, which meant that they might only eat it once a year.
Fortunately, Tian Lisong later planted two mu of corn on the land where he had planted potatoes. The harvest happened to be when the tender corn had just grown out. Although the corn from two mu of land might not be enough for the entire team, each family could still get a few sticks.
Tian Tian bit a bean flour cake, thinking that the autumn harvest would come soon.
The next day Fang Zhizhi and Fang Zhenzhen went to the river to catch crickets again.
The three sisters caught a lot of cicadas today. After cleaning them in the afternoon, Grandma Tian made cicada tofu for them and put some leeks in it. It tasted very delicious.
Plus the three of them grabbed a lot, so basically everyone drank two full bowls.
Fang Zhizhi and Fang Zhenzhen stayed at Tian Tian's house for a week, and then asked Old Mrs. Tian to send them back.
Tian Tian has been living with them for a week. Suddenly, she has to sleep in a room by herself and doesn't have to squeeze with them. Tian Tian is a little uncomfortable with it.
In August, Wang Cui and Zhou Ni got married in the county town on the same day. Because their families were not well off, they did not hold a wedding banquet at their parents' home.
Apart from Tian Lisong and Tian Ligang, who supported them, no one else in the brigade attended their wedding.
Two days later, they brought their new son-in-law back to visit their parents-in-law. Shen Lingling came over and pulled Tian Yun and Tian Tian over to join in the fun.
"Let's go to Wang Cui's house first. I heard that they are giving candies to those kids. Although we can't get candies at our age, we can go over and join in the fun." Shen Lingling said.
When she heard about the distribution of candies, Tian Tian became even more curious. There were quite a lot of children in their team. What kind of family must be giving candies to all the children in their team?
When we arrived at Wang Cui's house, we saw a group of children chattering in front of the gate.
"Don't rush! Everyone has candy, don't worry! This is yours! Hey? Tiezhu? Didn't you come here once just now? Why are you here again to get candy? Everyone can only take once! No more!"
A strong voice came from the crowd, and Tian Tian guessed that this was Wang Cuier.
"It seems like her husband treats her very well. Otherwise, who can say that every child gets a share of candy? He must be very confident!" Shen Lingling said in a low voice.
"Xiao Cui'er has chosen the right family to marry. If I had known, I would have let my daughter marry into their family. My daughter is hardworking and pretty, isn't she much better than Wang Cui? Look at her, she is dark, skinny and skinny. I don't know why she fell in love with Wang Cui'er."
"It's my daughter who's going to get married. Your daughter is not as pretty as mine!"
"Hey! Do you want to fight?"
Tian Tian listened to the extremely regretful voices of the aunts and ladies next to her, curled her lips and moved a little further away from them.
When Wang Cui got married before, one or two of their friends said a lot of flirtatious things, all of them saying that Wang Cui would not have a good life after her marriage. Now when they see others saying that Wang Cui is living better than their family, they feel uncomfortable again.
"Wang Cui!" The second aunt saw that she couldn't win the argument, so she shouted at Wang Cui, "You said we are from the same production team, living next to each other, and I have watched you grow up since you were a child. You come back to your parents' home after getting married, don't you have any expression for us elders?"
Wang Cui sneered, "Aunt, we are newlyweds, and you know that my husband couldn't save money before we got married, and he was a little tight on money. Today, he bought some extra things because he was going back to his parents' home. He spent all his last savings on these candies. You know that I have a rural household registration and have no food rations in the city. We live a tight life. You are all my elders, can you get closer to us?"
These two aunts never helped their family once when they were in trouble, and they always said something to ridicule them. Those who helped their family, Wang Cui, must have sent all the gifts with full courtesy. These people said a lot of things to take advantage of her in the past, and now they want to ask for benefits from her.
Although Wang Cui is a little taciturn, she is not stupid, nor is she a sucker.
