"As for food and clothing, you don't have to worry about it. Gu Zhao's father, mother and grandfather have a supply of grain and vegetables every month. They can't eat it all for their family of three. Many vegetables and meat will go bad if left alone. We just give them food expenses every month and spend money to buy some things for them. Apart from this, we don't have to worry about their food and accommodation!" Tian Tian said.
Now Gu Zhao's grandfather has retired, and the old man is a person who can't sit still. He has cultivated vegetable plots in the front and back yards of their small building and raised a few chickens. Last year, Tian Tian went to see that the vegetables were growing lush green and the chickens were eating very well, so they no longer had to lack vegetables to eat.
Moreover, Gu Zhao's parents and grandfather were all very kind to her. Except for the first few times she went to Gu Zhao's house, Tian Tian did not feel uncomfortable at all during the subsequent visits. So Tian Tian was quite happy to get along with them and had no objection to living with them after getting married.
"Don't say any more to me. I am definitely going to build this house. You don't have to worry about anything. Just prepare to find someone to build the house next year!" Tian Tian said.
Lin Meiyu sighed helplessly. Seeing Tian Tian like this, she felt that she could not persuade Tian Tian anymore, so she planned to discuss it with Tian Lisong in the evening.
Tian Tian ran out and went down to the cellar with Tian Lisong to get vegetables. Tian Lisong had been out for a long time and the vegetables had not been brought back yet.
After going out for a look, Tian Tian knew why Tian Lisong had not returned. There were really a lot of things in front of him. In addition to the cabbage, radish, pumpkin and carrot taken out from the church, he also had the newly slaughtered pork in the jar, as well as the fish he caught when the dam was opened to release water. It was really a rich feast.
"Dad, why do you have to carry so many things? Just make some dishes!" Tian Tian ran over to help Tian Lisong carry the things and said.
"We have been on the train for a whole day and night, so we don't have much appetite. We can just cook something light."
"I don't plan to cook more. Your mother said to stir-fry these vegetarian dishes tonight. After eating, she will let you take a good rest. These things are prepared to be cooked tomorrow!" Tian Lisong said, pointing at the meat and fish on the ground.
"Take these out and melt them tonight, and cook them for you tomorrow. Since our son-in-law is coming, we must cook a rich meal! Otherwise, he will think that we don't value him!" Tian Lisong said happily.
After hearing this, Tian Tian didn't say anything. This was all their good intentions. If he wanted to do something good, then let them do it. Anyway, Tian Tian was at home and could help.
Tian Tian told Tian Lisong that he wanted to build a new house.
Tian Lisong laughed and said, "That's great. Not everyone can live in this big brick and tile house!"
Tian Tian was a little surprised, but she said the next second: "My mom doesn't let me build a house!"
"It's okay, Dad will go and persuade her when the time comes!" Tian Lisong said.
Tian Tian was really surprised this time. She didn't expect Tian Lisong to agree so easily, and she didn't expect that Tian Lisong would take the initiative to persuade Tian Tian.
When they entered the room, they saw Gu Zhao helping Lin Meiyu knead the dough.
He often helps his father cook at home, so the noodles he drinks are very expensive.
Lin Meiyu looked at Gu Zhao's skillful movements and felt extremely satisfied.
She felt that her daughter would have to serve the man's family when she got married, and if the man could cook, her daughter would have an easier time.
Judging from the way Gu Zhao is now, she should cook at home often so that her daughter can enjoy it.
Seeing Tian Lisong and Tian Tian coming back with vegetables, Lin Meiyu quickly took the vegetables and prepared to wash, cut and cook.
Gu Zhao wanted to help, but Lin Meiyu stopped him, "Don't worry about these things. Just follow Tian Tian and talk to your grandma."
They have been cooking in this kitchen for many years. Although Gu Zhao can cook, it is quite inconvenient for him to just stay there. They have to go around Gu Zhao to get anything. It would be better to let the two little ones go and keep Old Mrs. Tian company.
Tian Tian pulled Gu Zhao to Old Lady Tian's room. Old Lady Tian took a small stool and sat on the kang, rubbing the hemp rope.
Old Mrs. Tian is old now and her eyesight is not very good. She used to be able to help weave mats and other things, but now she can only twist hemp ropes.
Gu Zhao had played with hemp ropes a lot in the brigade before, but he hadn't touched it since he went to college, so his movements were a little unfamiliar, but he was able to pick it up quickly once he got the hang of it.
Gu Zhao was rubbing the hemp rope while talking to Old Lady Tian. Old Lady Tian couldn't help but develop a nagging habit. Gu Zhao was quite patient. Even though Old Lady Tian asked the same question two or three times, he didn't get impatient at all.
Chen Guihua originally wanted to come over, but Lin Meiyu said that they didn't plan to eat too well today, so they would just have a simple meal of cabbage and tofu first, and then prepare a formal meal tomorrow, and asked Chen Guihua and Tian Lilin and others to come over tomorrow.
The key is that Lin Meiyu knows Tian Tian's temper. Every time she comes back by car, she has a meal and then sleeps for a day and a night. Although Chen Guihua is a relatively close person, they must come to see Tian Tian and Gu Zhao. In this way, Tian Tian and Gu Zhao cannot go back to rest and have to chat with Chen Guihua. It is better to let them come tomorrow, so that Tian Tian and Gu Zhao can get their spirits back, they will not be sleepy after sleeping more, and they will be full of energy and can chat with them more.
Chen Guihua just asked Tian Mu to come over and ask, but when they heard Lin Meiyu asked them to come again tomorrow, they simply made some food at home.
On the contrary, after Tian Mu went back and told his mother, he came over and pulled Gu Zhao to ask this and that. He was familiar with Gu Zhao before, and now that he knew the nature of Gu Zhao's job was similar to his, he became even more attached to Gu Zhao.
Tian Mu often came here and stayed overnight with Tian Zhuo. They stayed here for two days and ate here for two days. It was a common thing. The two brothers had been together since they were young. Now that they had grown up, they went to different schools and had no chance to spend time together. Every time they went home for the holidays, they would definitely stick together. This time they stayed at Lin Meiyu's house for a few days, and next time they came back for the holidays, they would stay at Chen Guihua's house for a few days. These were common things.
So the two families would not argue too much. You ate my food, and I ate your oil.
Everyone was very happy to see that Tian Mu and Tian Zhuo had such a good relationship.
To Tian Lisong and Tian Lilin, they are brothers from the same mother, but there is a barrier between their children, and their relationship will inevitably become distant.
Neither of them wants this to happen, so as long as Tian Mu and Tian Zhuo stick together and don't do anything out of line, neither of them will say anything. Instead, they are happy about it.
