"Huh?" Tian Tian turned to look at Tian Zhuo in surprise.
Tian Zhuo opened his mouth and explained, "Dad went to bed very early yesterday! He started snoring before dawn! He was still snoring when I woke up! Dad is lazier than me!"
Tian Tian couldn't help laughing after hearing this. Tian Zhuo was now in his prime years of sleep. He went to bed the earliest at night and got up the latest in the morning. He even took a two or three hour nap at noon. Sometimes he quarreled with Tian Baobao, and Tian Baobao called him a lazy guy.
Unexpectedly, Tian Zhuo remembered it and used it to refer to Tian Lisong.
Tian Tian tried to hold back her laughter, while Tian Zhuo sighed and said like a little adult: "It's good to be an adult. My brother calls me a lazy bum every day. My dad gets up so late, but grandma doesn't say anything to him. I want to be an adult in the future too!"
Tian Tian found Tian Zhuo's serious expression even funnier, but she still said to Tian Zhuo seriously, "Dad is not lazy, he is just too tired! Dad went to deliver food with his second uncle a few days ago and didn't sleep for three days!"
"Ah?" Tian Zhuo opened his mouth in surprise. "I haven't slept for three days. I'll be so sleepy."
For Tian Zhuo, who sleeps a lot, imagine what it feels like to go without sleep for less than three days.
"Yeah! So Daddy has to make up for the sleep he lost in the past three days."
"Then Dad needs to sleep a lot more..." Tian Zhuo lowered his head and fiddled with his fingers. In the end, he couldn't figure it out, so he looked up and said, "He needs to sleep a lot longer!"
"That's right!" Tian Tian rubbed Tian Zhuo's head, "Xiao Zhuo is really amazing!"
"Then I won't disturb Dad and let him get enough sleep." Tian Zhuo said obediently.
"Xiao Zhuo is so sensible!" Tian Tian was generous with her praise.
After breakfast in the morning, Tian Baobao continued to pound his rice, Old Lady Tian and her daughter-in-law were picking vegetables in the vegetable garden, and Tian Zhuo was catching insects on the ground to feed the chickens.
Tian Tian said something to Old Mrs. Tian and ran out to give Shen Lingling a hairband.
Tian Tian was walking happily towards Shen Lingling's home with her hairband in her pocket, and she saw the pregnant woman next door tremblingly walking towards the house carrying a bucket of water.
Tian Tian looked at the pregnant woman's pot-like belly and trembling body, and hurried over to take the carrying pole from the pregnant woman's shoulders.
"Sister-in-law! Your belly is so big, why are you still carrying water? How dangerous is that?"
Zhang Lanru was startled at first, then she turned around and saw that it was Tian Tian. She was relieved and did not answer Tian Tian. Instead, she looked at Tian Tian and smiled, "Is it Tiantian? Are you going out?"
Tian Tian nodded, "Yes! I'm going to go play with Lingling."
After saying that, Tian Tian tried to pick up the water, adjusted the position of the carrying pole, and suddenly stood up.
Didn't pick it up.
Tian Tian felt embarrassed for a moment. She had seen people carrying a shoulder pole so easily on TV and thought it was easy. She had never expected that it would be impossible without some skills.
Zhang Lanru chuckled and reached out to take the bucket. "Let me do it. We're almost home anyway."
She didn't doubt anything. She knew that Tian Tian had been spoiled at home since she was a child and had never done any heavy work, so it was normal that she couldn't carry a shoulder pole.
When she thought of this, Zhang Lanru felt a little envious of Tian Tian.
"No, no! I can lift it!" Tian Tian dodged Zhang Lanru's hand by turning sideways.
Zhang Lanru is a pregnant woman. Judging from the size of her belly, she should be giving birth soon.
It would have been fine if she hadn't seen it, but she saw it. How could she let Zhang Lanru fetch water with a big belly again? If something happened again, who would be responsible?
Fortunately, carrying the shoulder pole is not difficult. Tian Tian was able to lift it after two attempts.
When I stood up, I staggered because the bucket was too heavy.
Zhang Lanru looked at Tian Tian worriedly, "How about I choose?"
Don't spill the two buckets of water she carried with great effort, otherwise she will have to carry two more buckets.
"It's okay!" Tian Tian said gritting her teeth. The two buckets of water were indeed very heavy, but she could hold on if she tried, and it was not far from Zhang Lanru's home.
"Sister-in-law, don't you have a dry well at home? Why do you still need to fetch water from the well?" Tian Tian walked forward with difficulty while carrying water.
Zhang Lanru followed beside him, holding her belly. When she heard Tian Tian's words, her expression dimmed for a moment, then she smiled and said, "I can't stay idle at home either. I have to move around more after I get pregnant, so I thought about fetching some water."
As soon as Tian Tian heard it, she knew that Zhang Lanru was not telling the truth. Although she had never been pregnant, she also knew that she could not do heavy work while pregnant.
However, pregnant women nowadays are not so particular. During the busy farming season, they have to go to the fields to work even if they are about to give birth. Many pregnant women give birth to their babies in the fields, simply tidy up and go back to work.
She didn't say anything else and helped Zhang Lanru carry the water to the door of Huang's house. Only then did she calm down.
"Sister-in-law! I really can't carry it anymore. Is Brother Huang home? Let him carry it?"
"It's okay. He went up the mountain to chop firewood. He's already at the door. I just need to carry the water back." Zhang Lanru said.
Tian Tian was so tired that her shoulders were aching, but she couldn't bear to let Zhang Lanru fetch water with a big belly.
"Forget it, there are only two steps left. I'll pick it up for you."
Tian Tian was about to fetch water, but Zhang Lanru held her hand and said, "Let me do it. It's okay. I can just carry it to the yard. Don't you still want to go find Lingling? Hurry up and go over there."
As she spoke, Zhang Lanru picked up the carrying pole, squatted down with difficulty, hooked the two buckets and lifted it up.
Seeing that she was insistent, Tian Tian didn't want to compete with her, so she stood at the door and waited until she entered the yard safely before leaving.
Then I heard Aunt Huang's sarcastic voice in the yard, "I asked you to fetch some water, but you haven't come back in such a long time. Are you trying to rebel? Don't think you are great just because you are pregnant. We don't even know whether it is a boy or a girl. Don't show off in front of me."
Then came Zhang Lanru's timid voice, "Mom, I didn't! I was afraid it would get stuck, so I walked slower."
"What are you complaining about? You've become so squeamish just because you're pregnant. When I was pregnant, I went to work in the fields and no one said anything. But now you're complaining when I ask you to fetch water."
Tian Tian frowned when she heard what Aunt Huang said, found a lower wall, and climbed up by stepping on the stones.
The current walls are made of stones and are not very high. Tian Tian can see the yard by just putting a stone under her feet.
Tian Tian saw Aunt Huang sitting in the middle of the yard with a large basin in front of her. She was obviously washing clothes and was arrogantly pointing fingers at Zhang Lanru.
Zhang Lanru stood in front of Aunt Huang with her head down and huddled together. She was scolded by Aunt Huang so hard that she didn't even dare to raise her head.
