Tian Tian is lucky to have met a good teacher who helped her, gave her extra lessons, and also introduced her to an easier part-time job.
Although minors are not allowed to work, Tian Tian couldn't even afford to eat at that time and had no time to care about these things.
She couldn't rely on the teacher to pay for her meals, water and baths. Even if the teacher was willing to pay, she wouldn't be able to bring herself to ask for it.
You have to earn some money to feed yourself.
Fortunately, the boss was a nice person and did not exploit Tian Tian just because she was a child laborer. He still paid her as an adult.
But overall, Tiantian didn't earn that much, because she spent most of her time on studying, and she could only work part-time eight days a month. But the money was enough for her to eat every month, and it also made Tiantian's high school life less difficult.
At that time, she really tried her best to get into a good university.
Tian Tian came from that time. She wanted to go to university and change her life through university.
Later she did change, but the way she changed was not quite right. She originally thought of finding a good job after studying, but the world changed before she even entered university, with zombies and wailing everywhere.
Because of her special identity, she is able to thrive in that world.
But Tian Tian would not blame Shen Lingling for making such a choice. If she was born and raised in this era, she might also be one of the people who think that studying is useless.
The more Tian Tian thought about it, the worse her mood became. She simply put the matter behind her, took out some of the mountain products she had picked up in the mountains and put them in shells, preparing to send them to Li Jiuniang tomorrow. Then she washed her hands and prepared to cook.
After dinner, everyone went to sleep. Sometimes they were tired, and they snored loudly in their sleep. Tian Tian could clearly hear the snoring of Tian Lisong and Tian Lilin in the room.
After Tian Tian and the rest of the family had gone to bed, she went into the snail shell and started studying overtime.
She didn't have much time at home, and she had to ask Gu Zhao as many questions as possible within the limited time. The next time she would come back would probably be during the winter vacation. If she didn't ask more questions now, she would just be scratching her head over the questions when she returned to school.
After Tian Tian understood all the questions that Gu Zhao wrote to her, she copied a few questions that she didn't understand clearly in her notebook.
While copying the questions, Tian Tian felt sorry for her hands. She originally thought that the study intensity was not high at this time and she could have a straight middle finger. Unexpectedly, she had just entered high school and it was not even a month yet, but she already had calluses on her middle finger joint. If she waited for three years to study, her fingers would definitely be deformed.
It was already midnight when Tian Tian finished her studies. She tidied up all the books on the table and put them aside, then took out her notebook and went to bed.
She had heated the kang for a short while before going to bed, and now she felt warm and comfortable when she climbed into it. In addition, the room had just been fumigated with mugwort, so there were no mosquitoes or flies, so Tian Tian could sleep peacefully.
In the following days, Tian Tian cooked, delivered meals, washed dishes, went up the mountain to pick up mountain products, and occasionally sent some things to Li Jiuniang to earn some money. She then went to ask Gu Zhao for advice, and when she had nothing to do, she would go out to play with Shen Lingling and Tian Yun.
The days passed very fulfillingly. In the blink of an eye, the autumn harvest holiday was over and it was time for Wu Juan to get married.
That day, Old Mrs. Tian came over early to wake up Tian Tian, and asked her to eat first, clean up after dinner, and then go to the gift shop.
Tian Tian rubbed her eyes and got up. She saw that it was just dawn outside and she didn't know why she was woken up so early.
"Hurry up and don't dawdle! I have prepared the food for you, so you should get dressed and go eat. The place where they are doing their work is not close to our home, and it will take you an hour to ride your bike there. And you are a guest from your mother's family, so you should go early to support your sister Wu Juan?" said Old Mrs. Tian, pulling Tian Tian up.
Tian Tian couldn't persuade Old Lady Tian, so she had to get up, wash her face, get dressed, and eat. Just when she was about to leave, the two younger children, Tian Mu and Tian Zhuo, got up. Seeing that Tian Tian was dressed very neatly and looked like she was going out, the two of them stopped Tian Tian and asked her where she was going.
"Didn't I tell you before? Your aunt's sister Wu Juan is getting married today, and your sister is going to attend the wedding!" said Old Mrs. Tian.
"Going to the gift-giving ceremony?" Tian Mu and Tian Zhuo were instantly excited. "We want to go too! We want to eat delicious food too!"
As they spoke, the two of them held Tian Tian's thighs to prevent her from leaving. Not to mention that they were both very strong, Tian Tian couldn't break free no matter what she did. She could only look at Old Lady Tian in embarrassment.
"It's understandable for Tian Zhuo to go with them, as they are brothers and sisters from our two aunts. Why are you going to follow them? You have no blood relationship with them, and you're not a child anymore, anyway," said Old Mrs. Tian.
Tian Mu is ten years old this year and is indeed not a child anymore. At this time, he is still growing and able to eat. Most people would not bring such an old child to attend a wedding.
Tian Mu was a little unhappy when he heard what Old Lady Tian said. He also knew that what Old Lady Tian said was right, so he obediently let go of his hands that were hugging Tian Tian's waist.
"Okay! You stay at home and grandma will cook eggs for you when the time comes. Tian Tian! Since Tian Zhuo has woken up, you can take Tian Zhuo over. With two people, you can pay a little more for the gift. And the gift bill should be in your mother's name, not your father's." After saying this, Grandma Tian took out fifty cents from her waistband and handed it to Tian Tian.
"Okay!" Tian Tian took the money, pushed the bicycle out of the yard, and wanted to carry Tian Zhuo to the frame of the bicycle. She didn't dare to put Tian Zhuo on the back seat of the bicycle, for fear that she would be swept away by a sweeping kick.
"If my brother isn't going, then I won't go either. I'll stay at home with my brother!" Tian Zhuo didn't want to go out to eat delicious food alone, so he held Tian Mu's hand tightly.
"You are stupid!" Tian Mu looked at Tian Zhuo and said angrily, "We are going to eat delicious food! It would be a waste if you don't eat it! If you go to eat, you can secretly bring me a piece of meat! If you don't go, neither of us can eat a single bite. Besides, we paid for it, so if you eat more, you have to make up for the money you paid."
Tian Zhuo listened to Tian Mu's words and thought about it carefully. He immediately looked at Tian Mu with shining eyes, "Brother, you are so smart! Don't worry, I will definitely bring you some meat when I come back from eating a lot!"
