"Thank you Tiantian!" Tian Yuan said as he took the water.
The mountain red bark water had just been served from the pot and was still a little hot, but after drinking it at this temperature, my whole body felt warm.
Tian Yuan drank it all in one gulp and felt that all the coldness from the car to home had dissipated.
"Why did you come back for the New Year this time? Is everything okay in the army?" Lin Meiyu asked worriedly, holding Tian Yuan's hand.
Tian Yuan smiled at Lin Meiyu in a soothing manner, "It's okay. The army also has to take annual leave. This time it's close to home. In addition to the time spent on the road, I can stay at home for two days, so I rushed back."
Their unit only had a half-month vacation, and the place they were staying before was too remote, so the round-trip fare was quite high, and it also took a lot of time on the road.
This time it happened to be close to home, and the round trip would take less than a day, so he came back to celebrate the New Year, and could stay at home for a few days after the New Year.
"Where is my grandma? Why isn't she at home?" Tian Yuan looked around but didn't see his grandma. His grandma didn't come over during the time he was back.
Under normal circumstances, his grandmother would have called him "grandson" long ago, and would not have remained silent like she is now.
"Your grandma went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things. She left just a while ago. Didn't you two meet her?" Tian Lisong asked.
Tian Yuan shook his head.
"Brother! Did you bring anything for us when you came back this time?" Tian Zhuo and Tian Mu stood beside Tian Yuan's luggage bag, blinking their eyes and asked expectantly.
"I didn't have time to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things when I came back this time, so I didn't buy anything for you!" Tian Yuan said a little embarrassedly.
This time he came by bus, taking the country road all the way to the entrance of their brigade. He only passed by the supply and marketing cooperative in the town. There were not many things in the cooperative, so he did not get off the bus to buy anything.
"What do you want? Not only did I give you a small five-pointed star, but I also gave you so many textbooks! I've really spoiled you. Do you think your brother earns money so easily? It's all earned through hard work in the wind and rain." Chen Guihua taught Tian Mu a lesson.
"It's okay, Second Aunt. Not to mention the two of them, it won't cost much to buy them some small things, and I promised them before." Tian Yuan said.
"That won't work either. Don't spoil them. They can't even get enough to eat, so how can you have the money to buy things for them?" said Chen Guihua.
What Chen Guihua said did make sense, and no one objected.
"Okay! It's a good thing that Tian Yuan is back, so stop arguing with the kids!" Tian Lilin came out to smooth things over.
After pacifying Chen Guihua, Tian Lilin turned to Tian Mu and said, "You too, it's not like you haven't earned any money before. Our brigade's conditions are considered good, and a full-time worker is only worth seven cents. How much can you earn in a year? We can't even afford to eat enough, and you and your brother are in school, and the tuition fees are not small. How can we have extra money to buy things for you?"
Tian Mu and Tian Zhuo stopped talking too.
"Okay! Don't you two still want to go out and play? Go and play quickly! Come back early in the afternoon, and your mother and I will boil eggs for you two. All of you kids will have a share!" Lin Meiyu came out and said.
There are only two chickens in their family now. The weather is cold and the chickens are unwilling to lay eggs. They can only lay two eggs every several days. In addition, Tian Mu and Tian Zhuo’s annual tuition is not small, so Grandma Tian is even more reluctant to give them eggs. They haven’t eaten eggs for almost two months.
Compared to the gift which was most likely a notebook and a pen, the rarely eaten eggs obviously pleased Tian Mu more.
