Then Tian Yuan prepared to wash the bowls and pots. In short, he couldn't rest for a moment since he came back.
"You don't have to move. Go back to your room and rest. I'll take care of these things." Old Mrs. Tian reached out and snatched the bowl from Tian Yuan's hand, and pushed Tian Yuan into the house to rest.
Tian Yuan just wanted to go back to the house to sort out the luggage he brought back.
Old Mrs. Tian boiled water and washed the pots and dishes, while Tian Tian swept the floor with a broom.
Tian Baobao and the other two were wandering in the yard, trying to see if they could wait for Tian Yuan to come out.
I was just picking wheat in the field, and when someone said that the farm had returned, I couldn't wait to run back, because the work over there was not finished yet.
"Tiantian! Come in!" Tian Yuan suddenly opened the door, stuck his head out and said.
"Brother?" Tian Tian put the broom aside and went into the house with Tian Yuan. "What?"
"Dangdangdang!" Tian Yuan took out a pair of brown calfskin shoes with heels from his back and held them in front of Tian Tian. "The girls in the city all wear this kind of calfskin shoes. I bought a pair for you. Try them on now to see if they fit your feet."
Tian Tian was very surprised to see the pair of shoes. In Tian Tian's view, the shoes looked a little rustic, and the color was an old-fashioned dark brown, which was not suitable for Tian Tian's current age. However, Tian Tian was still very happy.
This pair of shoes should not be cheap. The supply and marketing cooperative near their home doesn't even sell leather shoes. Even the Fang family, the richest family that Tian Tian has ever come into contact with, and the two sisters Fang Zhenzhen, don't have a pair of calfskin shoes at home.
"It looks so good! Thank you, brother!" Tian Tian knew that this pair of leather shoes should not be cheap. Adding the shoe tickets and other things, it must have cost Tian Yuan a lot of money.
"I'll go wash my feet and come back to put on my shoes!" Tian Tian said and ran out to wash her feet. Such precious calfskin shoes must be cleaned and not made dirty again.
Tian Tian excitedly washed her feet, went back into the house to get a pair of clean socks to change into, and then ran back to try on the shoes.
The shoes fit her feet perfectly, they were size 37, and they didn't look as ugly as Tian Tian had imagined, instead they looked quite nice.
Tian Tian stomped her feet happily, "Thank you, brother! But these shoes must be very expensive, you must have spent a lot of money."
"It's okay!" Tian Yuan was happy when he saw Tian Tian was happy.
"You don't have to worry about money. I get paid every month and I can't spend it in the army. I can still afford a pair of small leather shoes. Besides, aren't you my biological sister? What's wrong with a brother buying a pair of shoes for his sister?"
Tian Yuan didn't care about the money. He hadn't been back for more than two years. It was okay before, but now he finally came back, he couldn't come back empty-handed. He must bring some gifts for everyone in his family.
Especially since Tian Tian is his only sister, it is normal for him to buy her a pair of more expensive leather shoes.
After Tian Tian was happy, she hesitated. She looked down at her small leather shoes and whispered to Tian Yuan's ear, "Brother, did you buy gifts for our grandma and our mom? I don't want these shoes for now. You can buy them for me next time you come back. You can give these shoes to our mom or grandma?"
If neither mom nor grandma had any gifts and she was the only one who had one, Tian Tian would feel a little guilty.
"Why are you so worried?" Tian Yuan couldn't help but rub Tian Tian's head. "These are gifts for you. As for mom and grandma, I have also prepared other things. You can wear them without worrying about them."
Hearing that Tian Yuan had prepared things for other people in the family, Tian Tian finally breathed a sigh of relief and happily put on her shoes and went out to show them to Old Mrs. Tian.
Tian Yuan looked at Tian Tian's jumping figure and shook his head helplessly. He took out a red cashmere scarf from his bag and prepared to give it to Old Mrs. Tian.
Old Mrs. Tian was praising Tian Tian's new shoes, and even Tian Baobao and Tian Zhuo came in to see.
"Sister, your new shoes are so beautiful! Are they given to you by your brother?" Tian Zhuo asked.
"So do we have good stuff too? Or are we just bringing some for my sister?" Tian Baobao asked.
"It definitely won't be prepared just for me! My brother just told me that he's prepared something for grandma as well." Tian Tian said.
"I'm already this old, what other gifts do I need? I won't accept them even if you buy them for me."
As soon as Mrs. Tian finished speaking, Tian Yuan came over with a bright red scarf.
"Grandma! I bought you a scarf. Try it on and see if it looks good on you."
"Granny!" Tian Tian saw the brightly colored scarf in Tian Yuan's hand and reached out to pull Old Lady Tian's hand. "The scarf my brother bought you is so beautiful. I'll help you put it on. It will definitely look great."
As she spoke, Tian Tian and Tian Yuan helped Old Lady Tian put the scarf around her neck.
"Ouch!" Mrs. Tian was shocked when she saw the scarf. "Why did you buy me such a colorful scarf? It will look cheap if I wear it. Take it off quickly. I don't want to wear it! Give it to your mother later, or give it to Tiantian. I don't want to wear it!"
After saying that, Old Mrs. Tian reached out and pulled off her scarf.
"What are you doing, grandma?" Tian Tian reached out to stop Old Lady Tian. "This scarf looks so good on you! It's not cheap at all. Just keep it and wear it outside in the winter. You'll be the most beautiful girl in our village, prettier than the other old ladies!"
"That's right! Grandma! I picked this color specially for you. I have already prepared a gift for my mom. If you don't keep it, I will be angry." Tian Yuan said pretending to be angry.
He also knew that the color of the scarf was a bit too bright and Mrs. Tian might not wear it.
But he still remembered that when he was a child, Old Lady Tian told him about her marriage.
It is said that there was still a war going on at that time, and when people got married they could not set up a banquet and invite people to dinner like we do now, and they could not make red clothes.
Old Mrs. Tian also said that when she got married, she was wearing clothes that her father had altered to be smaller. At that time, Old Man Tian promised her that he would definitely get her a red dress when her life got better in the future.
Later on, life went on like that. Old Mrs. Tian never proposed to buy a piece of red cloth to make herself a set of clothes. Later, she made clothes for others, for Lin Meiyu and Tian Lijuan, but never for herself.
Tian Yuan also thought of what Old Mrs. Tian had said before, so he decided to buy a red cashmere scarf for her.
The hand that Old Lady Tian was fighting with Tian Tian stopped immediately. "You kid! Tell me why you bought me a scarf of this color. I'm already this old. I'm not a girl of 17 or 18 anymore. How can I wear this scarf?"
"Grandma! What's the big deal? It's just a scarf. It's my brother's way of showing filial piety to you. You should just wear it when you go out in winter. What's wrong with your eldest grandson buying you a scarf when he earns money? If they say anything else, they are just jealous. And even if you don't wear it, you can't give this scarf to others. My brother will be so sad because he carefully selected it." Tian Tian was also persuading Grandma Tian.
She could see that Old Mrs. Tian clearly liked this scarf very much, but was just too embarrassed to wear it outside.
"If we don't wear such a nice scarf and just put it there, wouldn't it be a bit of a waste?" Old Mrs. Tian really liked this scarf. It was such a bright red scarf and it was so warm and soft. You could tell it was made of the finest wool. Who wouldn't like it?
Even though Old Mrs. Tian is old, she is still a woman. How could she not want to dress herself up beautifully? It's just that the current environment doesn't allow her to do so.
Now Old Mrs. Tian's expression was a mixture of surprise, embarrassment, shyness, and awkwardness. It was complicated and twisted.
"Grandma! It looks good! Just keep it!" Tian Zhuo was also persuading Grandma Tian.
"Brother! What are our gifts? You didn't prepare any for us, did you?"
"Get ready, get ready. Come on, follow your brother to get your little gifts!" Tian Yuan led the two little followers back to the house.
Tian Tian was curious about what Tian Yuan had prepared for them, so she followed him happily.
"Brother thought you should go to school, so I prepared some notebooks and pens for you. It's a big stack, enough for you two to use for a long time." After saying that, Tian Yuan took out a thick notebook and a big bundle of pencils from his luggage bag.
Tian Baobao's face immediately drooped. "Is this a gift? We don't lack notebooks and pens at home."
Tian Tian couldn't help laughing when looking at these things. Tian Zhuo would definitely be happy to see the notebook and pen, but it would not be a certainty if it was Tian Baobao who saw them. He usually hated studying the most and basically never looked through his schoolbag when he was at home. It would be strange for him to be happy when the gift he had been longing for for so long turned out to be a workbook and a pencil.
Tian Zhuo was very happy to see this and held the pencil tightly.
