When all the dishes on the table were cleared away, only a little soup was left in the plate. Tian Tian then touched her stomach with satisfaction.
Dishes with meat are always delicious, especially those stewed with fat, which makes them taste meatier.
Tian Zhuo was also very satisfied with the meal. Although he was small and short-handed and couldn't grab as much food as everyone else, Tian Tian was quick-eyed and quick-handed and still managed to feed him enough.
Grandpa Lin also poured the juice from the dishes into the rice, and then went to get a bowl of rice to eat with it.
After dinner, everyone dispersed and prepared to go back to work in the fields.
Lin Meixia was also very anxious, but since she was a guest at her in-laws' home, she couldn't leave so soon. She had to help her in-laws put these things in order.
She had to suppress her urgency to go home and started helping to clean the table. Tian Tian did not leave immediately, but helped Lin Meishuang with the work.
My aunt and uncle also came into the house to see Wu Juan.
Tian Tian wanted to wait for Li Meishuang to come out and say sorry to her. She was just busy arguing with Grandma Lin, and some of her words might have been directed at Lin Meishuang and the others. Lin Meixia didn't take it to heart. They hadn't bothered Tiantian for such a long time. But Lin Meishuang had just borrowed money from Lin Meiyu some time ago. After listening to what Tian Tian said today, she might feel uncomfortable.
After waiting for a long time for Lin Meishuang to come out, Tian Tian hurried over, "Aunt! Those things I said to my grandma were just to irritate her, don't take it to heart. What she said does make sense. You and my mom and the other three sisters, there is no one in the world closer than you three. The days ahead will be uncertain. Every household will inevitably need help from others. When our family is in trouble, we will definitely trouble you. Besides, among relatives, isn't it just like this? We don't really have any ideas, and we are also happy to help you and my aunt. You are all my mom's sisters. I just can't stand my grandma. She is so arrogant and our family has to serve her. She said that my studying is useless. I was angry at the moment and said those words. So don't take what I say seriously. I still like you and my aunt very much."
Lin Meishuang smiled and said, "What do you mean? Your grandma's words are really harsh sometimes. And I really don't take what you said to heart."
Lin Meishuang actually sometimes felt that what her mother did was wrong. For example, when she asked her family to borrow money from her second sister's family, she ran over in a panic. But later she thought about it and realized that it was indeed wrong, and it was normal for her second sister to refuse her.
But she couldn't say anything to her mother, because everything Grandma Lin did was indeed for their sake, and she said those words to Tian Tian for their sake.
"Do you want to go in and see your sister Juanjuan?" Lin Meishuang asked.
Tian Tian nodded and followed Lin Meishuang into the house. It was obviously cleaned up. Now the house was made of mud and it wouldn't look much better after cleaning it up. However, the walls of the house were all covered with patterned paper, making it look clean and tidy.
This paper is sold in the supply and marketing cooperatives, but because the price is too expensive, people usually buy newspapers and paste them on the walls. You can buy a large stack of newspapers for five cents.
Thinking that the Zhou family could actually spend so much money to buy this paper, it seemed that they also attached some importance to Wu Juan. This would definitely make my aunt feel more at ease.
The rest of the furniture in the room is also complete, including cabinets and suitcases. There is also a sewing machine at the door, which is a big item.
Wu Juan sat on the kang with red eyes. When she saw Li Meishuang following Tian Tian in, tears welled up in her eyes.
"Mom! Tian Tian!" Wu Juan was also reluctant to leave home.
"Tian Tian is here to see you." Lin Meishuang said.
"Sister Juanjuan!" Tian Tian walked over and sat on the kang next to Wu Juan.
"Tian Tian! You stay here with your sister Wu Juan. Aunt has work to do at home. Grandma Wu is also at home now. I am worried about her staying at home alone for too long. I have to go back to see your Grandma Wu."
"Mom!" Wu Juan burst into tears. She couldn't bear to leave her parents, but she also knew that if she delayed the autumn harvest for a day, she would lose 1 cent. With so many people in the family, she could only lose 20 or 30 cents. Her grandmother couldn't leave her alone, so she couldn't say anything to ask Lin Meishuang to stay. She could only watch Lin Meishuang go out and go home.
"Sister Juanjuan! Don't cry!" Tian Tian handed over a handkerchief. "You married so close to home. If you miss home, you can just walk back in ten or twenty minutes. Besides, Aunt is still your mother. She won't abandon you as her daughter just because you got married."
"I just can't bear to leave home when I get married." Wu Juan took the handkerchief and wiped her tears. After crying for a while, she was not as sad as before. She looked up at Tian Tian and said, "Why are you here today? Didn't my second aunt come?"
"My family is in the autumn harvest season, and my mother couldn't make it, so I brought Tian Zhuo here," said Tian Tian.
"Did you bring Tian Zhuo with you?" Wu Juan suddenly turned around and went to the kang, opened the drawer of the cabinet and took out a bag of candy.
"There are a lot of people outside, and they are all adults. You definitely won't be able to get any candies. These candies were given to me when I was at my mother's house. You can take them back and share them with your family to share in the good luck." Wu Juan took out a small piece of cloth, wrapped some candies in the cloth, and handed it to Tian Tian.
"Then I won't be polite with you!" Tian Tian happily took the bag of candies and prepared to take them back for Old Mrs. Tian and the others to eat.
"Are these quilts prepared for you by your aunt?" Tian Tian saw that the colors of these quilts were very new, without any fading, and the patterns on them were also very beautiful.
"These quilts were brought as a dowry by my grandmother when she got married. My mother also used them once when she got married. My family didn't have time to prepare quilt covers, and these quilts I had kept were in good condition, so I took down the quilt covers, washed them, and sewed them back together, and gave them to me as a dowry."
Wu Juan touched the quilt lovingly, "It's not red, but it's still quite warm. But I still have to thank my second aunt for giving me the pair of red pillowcases, otherwise there wouldn't be any red in my dowry."
"It's just a pair of red pillowcases. My mother and my aunt and I only have two girls, and my mother loves you very much." Tian Tian said.
She had wanted to say that Wu Juan was like her mother's other daughter, but then she thought that there was no way Wu Juan could be the same as her, and it would be funny to say that, so she simply didn't say it.
