It’s a bit too early for her to talk about getting married now. Maybe she will get married ten years later, and by then, Mrs. Tian’s mind will have changed.
And who can say for sure what will happen in the future?
Tian Tian and Old Lady Tian prepared dinner and waited for Tian Mu and Tian Zhuo to come back, and had dinner with them.
Tian Mu and Tian Zhuo stood under the window, emptying the jar of soy sauce. Tian Tian packed a portion of the food and prepared to deliver it to the field.
Old Mrs. Tian was mending Tian Mu's clothes at home. Tian Mu's pants were torn again today. He said that they got stuck on the ground while he was running, and the clothes were torn. Even the corrugated cover was scratched.
While muttering to him, Old Mrs. Tian applied purple medicine on his collarbone and took his trousers to mend them.
Tian Mu is the worst person in the family when it comes to wearing pants. Most of the clothes and pants he wears are those that Tian Yuan wore when he was a child. After he finishes wearing them, he has to pass them on to Tian Zhuo.
As a result, when he put the clothes on, they were torn here and there, the crotch was torn or the armpits were unraveling, and his whole body was covered with patches. When Tian Zhuo put on the clothes, he looked like a little beggar.
Fortunately, Tian Zhuo is not picky about clothes, and he can be happy even in tattered clothes.
It rained for the next few days, but luckily it wasn't heavy, just drizzle. Tian Lisong was quite happy seeing it. At this time the rain was not heavy and it could moisten the land, which saved them the process of manually carrying water to the fields and also helped them with some work.
It was drizzling, and it was time outside. The frogs that had stayed in the mountains for the whole winter were on their way. When Tian Lisong said that he was going to catch frogs in the evening, Tian Tian also clamored to go.
The toads we caught last year were really delicious. The scientific name of these toads is Rana tempura, also known as snow frog. Eating them is very nutritious and good for the body.
Tian Tian also wanted to catch more and exchange them for money with Li Jiuniang.
This toad is meat after all, and many people like it, so it can definitely be sold for a lot of money.
It was much better than the mountain products she usually prepared for Li Jiuniang.
If she wanted to earn one dollar, she would have to pick a lot of wild vegetables for Li Jiuniang.
Speaking of toads, Tian Tian thought that the ice in the river had almost melted, so she could go catch some cicadas and sell them to Li Jiuniang. However, many people now find it troublesome to make cicadas, and she didn't know if she could sell them for a good price.
In fact, Tian Tian didn’t want to make money so much last year, but she is going to school this fall, and the family has three children to send to school, and the expenses are quite high.
Seeing Old Mrs. Tian Tian doing the accounts with a small notebook, she felt uncomfortable.
Moreover, it seemed that her mother and Old Lady Tian had not made new clothes for more than ten years. At least, since the original owner could remember, she had never seen them wear new clothes. Once they saved up some cloth, they would make clothes for their grandchildren. In the past, they made clothes for Tian Yuan, and later when Tian Tian was born, they made clothes for Tian Tian.
Old Mrs. Tian always said that Tian Tian was a little girl, and she couldn’t always wear her brother’s clothes, but should wear something new.
When she was young, Tian Tian basically had a new set of clothes once a year. Later, as Tian Tian grew up, the fabric needed to make clothes increased, so she had a new set of clothes every two or three years.
Going to school soon will cost even more money. She will definitely need to live in a dormitory when she goes to high school. Whether it is the things needed in the dormitory or the accommodation fees, all of them cost money.
Tian Tian also wants to earn as much money as possible now. If she earns more, she can save some tuition fees. If she earns less, it will be enough for her pocket money and reduce the burden on her family.
Tian Tian also planned to exchange some food coupons from Li Jiuniang to save some food for her family.
Tian Lisong was just thinking that Tian Tian wanted to go out and play. He thought that she didn't have to work in the fields during the day, and could go to bed later at night and make up for her sleep at home the next day, so he agreed to let Tian Tian go with him.
After hearing this, Tian Zhuo and Tian Mu also clamored to go together, but they both had to go to school the next day. Tian Lisong was afraid that they would go to bed late and would not have the energy to go to school the next day, so he refused and told them to get a good night's sleep, and he would stew toads for them the next morning.
After hearing this, Tian Mu and Tian Zhuo said they would also take Toad to school at noon tomorrow.
After hearing this, Old Mrs. Tian said it was not a big deal and that if the children wanted to eat at noon, she could bring it to them, so she agreed immediately.
When it got dark at night, the rain outside became heavier and drizzled.
Tian Lisong took out a plastic sheet and covered Tian Tian with it. Plastic sheeting was still a rare item nowadays, and she only had one piece at home. Later, it rained a lot during the spring planting season this year. Although it didn't delay anything, her body was always wet and uncomfortable.
Plastic sheeting is light and does not interfere with work. It can also block rain and is very convenient.
Tian Lisong got several pieces of plastic sheets from somewhere, and basically each of the four people working in the field got one.
After the plastic sheet was tied, Tian Lisong took a flashlight and each of them carried a bucket and went out.
After going out, they walked towards the foot of the mountain and heard endless quacking sounds.
Tian Lisong turned on the flashlight and saw that the ground not far away was covered with dense toads. Tian Tian felt that if she took two more steps forward, she would be able to step on a toad.
"If you're scared, just wait by the side." Tian Lisong gave Tian Tian a few instructions, and then went to catch toads with Tian Lisong.
They both started catching frogs when they were little and grew up together. They would always try to catch as many as they could and would never fail.
Although Tian Tian caught a toad once last night, she is still a little afraid now. The toad's body is cold and slippery. When Tian Tian thinks of the touch, she gets goose bumps all over her body.
However, thinking of the money she could get from selling the toad, Tian Tian still plucked up her courage and reached out to the toad that was jumping towards her. After catching the toad, Tian Tian resisted the urge to throw the toad away and chop off her arm, and threw the toad into the bucket.
However, after catching more toads, Tian Tian may have gotten used to this feeling, or perhaps the desire to make money overwhelmed her fear of toads. Tian Tian became more and more adept at catching toads, and as the toads kept jumping towards her, Tian Tian soon caught half a bucket of toads.
