She opened one eye to see who the two men who said this were, and found out they were Shugen and Caogen. She immediately rolled her eyes in her heart. Shugen and Caogen were two years older than Tian Zhuo, and Tian Zhuo had already been admitted to university, while they were still in junior high school.
This is nothing. People nowadays send their children to school relatively late. If the child's brain is not very good, it is normal for him to stay in the same grade for several years.
What made Tian Tian speechless was that, although they were both so grown up, they could actually ask for eggs at other people's homes with a clear conscience. The eggs there were cooked for two or three-year-old children, and they were both big and strong, yet they could actually say such words without feeling ashamed.
Lin Meixia didn't expect the two brothers to say such things. She felt embarrassed and scolded them in a fake way: "What are you eating? The eggs are cooked for you brothers and sisters. How old are you now? Do you still want to eat the same as others? I am short of food for you at home, so what?"
Lin Meiyu quickly tried to smooth things over, "What kind of kids just want to eat eggs? That's normal. I'll cook two for them!"
"Look at these kids. What a shame! I even asked you to cook two extra eggs!"
"It's okay, it's just two eggs. I'll cook a few more eggs and we can all eat some." After Lin Meiyu finished speaking, Tian Tian, who had just washed her face, went to get eggs from the egg basket for her.
After hearing this, Tian Tian ran to the egg basket and picked up fifteen eggs. Although she was a little unhappy that Lin Meixia's family took the initiative to ask for food, her mother had already spoken, and she would not refute her mother.
So there were more boiled eggs for today's breakfast, thirteen boiled eggs and two egg cakes. Tian Tian looked at the thirteen eggs in the basin and was a little shocked. It was the first time she had seen so many boiled eggs on their dining table in all these years. Not to mention so many eggs, they rarely saw even five eggs on the table. This time, fifteen eggs were boiled at once. I wonder how her mother felt sorry for her?
There were some vegetables left at home yesterday, so I used them to make a meal today. I heated them together and steamed the pancakes. This combination of dishes tastes the best.
They had a meal together and finished all the leftovers from yesterday.
After the meal, Lin Meishuang and the others handed the gifts to Lin Meiyu. The gifts from both of them were not much, only fifty cents each. Lin Meiyu felt unhappy seeing the gifts. Before, no matter whether it was Wu Juan's wedding or Wu Dejun's wedding, Lin Meiyu gave a lot of gifts. When Wu Juan got married, she gave a pair of red pillowcases, which cost more than fifty cents. When Dejun got married, although they didn't give anything, they also gave gifts. A gift of three dollars was already a big gift at that time.
Lin Meiyu knew that Lin Meishuang's family was not well off, but she felt very uncomfortable after paying so much for it and only got fifty cents in return.
When Tian Yuan got married before, because there was no wedding banquet, Lin Meishuang and the others pretended not to know and did not send any gifts.
When Tian Tian got married this time, they only gave such a small amount of gift. Lin Meiyu had a feeling that they didn't value Tian Tian at all.
Lin Meiyu sighed. Her two sisters’ families were not well off, so she couldn’t care too much.
After giving the money, Lin Meishuang and the others prepared to go home. Lin Meiyu once again invited them to go to the provincial capital with the Tian family to attend Tian Tian's wedding.
This is actually also for Tiantian's consideration. The eldest aunt and the second aunt are both close relatives of Tiantian. If they don't attend the wedding, there might be some gossip. Lin Meiyu also doesn't want Tian Tian to be talked about.
Moreover, Lin Meiyu always wanted to avoid giving others any chance to talk about her, so that if her two sisters had some minor conflicts with her, they would not bring up such things to complain about.
The most important thing is that this is Tian Tian's wedding. If there are too few people coming to their house and the tables are not full, it won't look good.
"Yes, it's raining heavily. I will watch it all day. It's a rare opportunity. My parents can go with me then, and there will be someone to look after us on the way!" Tian Tian also echoed Lin Meiyu.
Just go. His parents and Old Mrs. Tian are going anyway, so it doesn't matter if there are a few more people. Just make his parents happy. Besides, it's her wedding after all, and she can't say not to let them come.
Wu Juan and Lin Meixia were both a little tempted, but they were worried that the round-trip fare would be too expensive.
The two of them wanted to take their two children out to see the world.
Gu Zhao said at the side: "Don't worry about the round-trip fare. Since you are going to attend my wedding with Tian Tian, I will pay for the round-trip fare. You don't have to feel too much psychological burden if you want to go."
Tian Tian felt a little heartbroken, but she still smiled and nodded to show that she agreed with Gu Zhao's opinion.
The fare for their family to go to the provincial capital was all paid by the couple. For their entire family, plus Chen Guihua's family of three, the round-trip fare was a considerable amount, but Tian Tian was willing to pay for her loved ones.
If we add the families of Wu Juan and Lin Meixia, the fare would probably be two hundred yuan.
And it's not just the car fare, there's also the cost of their accommodation in the guesthouse, which is the bulk of the money.
"Then we won't be polite with you. Let's take advantage of Tian Tian's help to see the scenery of the provincial capital. Then we can tell other people that we have been to the provincial capital." Lin Meixia said with a smile.
"You guys go! I won't go. There is still a lot of work to do at home. My second son's wife is pregnant again, and I can't leave them for too long!" Lin Meishuang said.
Wu Dejun's wife got pregnant one year after she got married and gave birth to a big fat boy. Wu Defu's wife gave birth to a little girl the second year after she got married. In the past few years, she has become pregnant with another child. It is six months old now. Her belly is so big that it looks like she is pregnant with twins. Lin Meishuang didn't dare to leave too far away. She was worried and planned to go home today.
Lin Meiyu also knew that Lin Meishuang really couldn't leave now. Being pregnant with two children sounded like a good sign, with both twins, a boy and a girl, but all women knew that being pregnant with twins was actually much more dangerous than being pregnant with one child.
Most people are malnourished nowadays, and children cannot get good supplements in the stomach. Twins share nutrition with two people, so they will be much smaller than a single child, and the infant mortality rate is higher.
It takes more energy and effort to support both of them.
Now there are five people going to the provincial capital together. Wu Juan’s two children are too young and do not need to buy tickets, but the remaining adults all have to buy tickets.
Before they came back, Lin Meiyu had counted the number of people who would go to the provincial capital, and they bought their tickets at the train station on the day they came back. Now four more people had suddenly joined in, so they had to buy new tickets.
As there was nothing to do today, Gu Zhao rode his bike to the train station and bought four more tickets.
Fortunately, there were not many people going out at this time, so the tickets were not that difficult to buy. Gu Zhao did not have to wait in line for long before he successfully bought four tickets.
After returning home, Gu Zhao put away every ticket carefully.
Lin Meiyu and the others also packed up things to take to the provincial capital. They didn't have much to take themselves, just one set of clothes for each person and a change of clothes. They mainly took things to buy for Tian Tian, such as wedding shoes, combs, wedding basins, etc.
Although Tian Tian repeatedly emphasized that these things could be bought in the provincial capital, Lin Meiyu and the others still bought everything here with their own money.
There was nothing that Tian Tian needed to bring with her. She came back empty-handed this time, without taking anything. She just took some things for her family. She didn't need to take anything this time, but she could help Lin Meiyu and the others share some things.
Among those at home who needed to pack up the most things, Tian Yuan was the one who had to do the most. After attending Tian Tian's wedding, Tian Yuan went straight back to his army. Lin Meiyu was also worried about Tian Yuan, and thinking that his wife had just given birth to a child, she wanted to move the entire house to Tian Yuan.
Tian Yuan was helpless. He picked and chose among the things that Lin Meiyu prepared for her and picked out a lot of useless things. Those things could be bought in their army, so he took some food unique to the Northeast, such as hazel mushrooms, black fungus, hazelnuts, pine nuts, chestnuts, etc. The rest were some dried vegetables prepared by Lin Meiyu and the dried mountain red peel that Han Luying particularly liked to drink.
Lin Meiyu always felt that the things Tian Yuan took were just some dried vegetables and there was nothing nutritious about them. She even wanted to give two of the old hens at home to Tian Yuan to take away. Tian Yuan had to say that these old hens were raised in their army. He raised old hens, ducks, geese, and pigs. When cooking, he would kill a few of them to improve the soldiers' meals. If he wanted to eat them, he could also buy them with money.
Moreover, Han Luying ate a lot of chicken when she was pregnant and was tired of it, so she couldn't like it even if she took it home.
However, Tian Yuan finally packed some dates from home and took them away. She found that the dates there were not as sweet as those here. Putting dates in the chicken soup did not have the same fragrance and the taste was not very good.
It just so happens that Han Luying likes to drink red date chicken soup. If I take some red dates back, maybe Han Luying will drink a few more sips.
Tian Yuan said that Lingling should not take too many things, but in the end Lingling packed up her things in a scattered manner and actually filled two suitcases. She couldn't even fit the clothes that she wanted to take for Tian Yuan.
