She threw the cotton pants aside and said, "I don't know how to sew cotton pants. I'll help you sew these outer pants first. You can wear them to cover yourself, and then let Second Aunt sew them for you."
Tian Baobao was a little disappointed at first, but when he heard that Tian Tian had sewed his outer trousers first, he obediently took the cotton trousers and put them on.
Although the kang was warm, it was still a little cold in the room. After staying there for a while, goose bumps appeared on his legs.
Ever since Tian Tian was attacked by the smell of Tian Baobao's cotton pants, she always suspected that the smell in the room was bad. She quickly sewed Tian Baobao's outer pants and threw the pants to Tian Baobao.
"I have sewn my pants, put them on and go out to play."
Tian Baobao didn't sense Tian Tian's slight disgust. He had been unable to sit still in the room for a long time. He put on his pants and ran out in his shoes to see Grandma Tian and the others stewing fish. Before leaving, he did not forget to ask Tian Zhuo to go with him.
Tian Zhuo was tired after playing for the whole morning. He didn't have the energy to continue playing with his brother, so he shook his head at him.
After his brother left, Tian Tian first opened the door to let the smell in the room get rid of it, then washed her hands, and then went up to the kang to play with Tian Zhuo for a while.
Fortunately, her mother Lin Meiyu was a clean person. Although she couldn't take a bath in the winter, her mother often boiled water for Tian Zhuo to wash. She would also wash Tian Zhuo's little butt and feet every night, so Tian Zhuo didn't have any peculiar smell on his body.
Tian Zhuo was young after all, and he fell asleep after playing for a while. It was uncomfortable to sleep in a big cotton-padded jacket, so Tian Tian took off Tian Zhuo's jacket, covered him with a quilt, and fell asleep beside him.
The two of them slept soundly until dinner time, when Lin Meiyu came to call them and they woke up.
Tian Zhuo is young and sleeps a lot. Tian Tian couldn’t sleep at night these past two nights because her feet were too itchy. Today, she finally slept a little more comfortably and has been sleeping ever since.
"What time is it now?" Tian Tian asked in a hoarse voice.
"It's already past three o'clock! The meal is ready and we're just waiting for you two. Hurry up and get dressed to go eat." Lin Meiyu took the cotton-padded jacket beside her and put it on Tian Zhuo.
"I will definitely give Tiantian a big red envelope for the Chinese New Year this year!" Chen Guihua first painted a big picture for Tian Tian.
"Then I would like to thank you, auntie!" Tian Tian said with a smile.
"I'm back!"
Tian Lisong pushed open the door, and immediately wind mixed with snow blew in, blowing away all the warmth in the house.
"Where's the letter?" Before Tian Tian could react, Lin Meiyu immediately stood up and went to greet her.
Tian Lisong took the letter out of his pocket and handed it to Lin Meiyu, "It's really cold outside! I feel like my feet are frozen off after going out."
However, no one in the room paid attention to him. As soon as Lin Meiyu received the letter, she couldn't wait to open it. Old Mrs. Tian knew that it was Tian Yuan who sent the letter, and she looked at the letter in Lin Meiyu's hand with concern.
Tian Tianxin had long been curious about this brother who loved her so much, and was also curious about what was written in the letter.
"What are they writing? Read it out loud for us to hear!" Chen Guihua was just here to join in the fun.
Lin Meiyu can read and write. Tian Lisong taught her a lot when she first got married. Later, their brigade started a literacy class, and Lin Meiyu participated very actively. Reading a letter was not a big deal for her.
Lin Meiyu read the letter from beginning to end.
Tian Tian summed it up in her mind, that is, her brother can't come back for the New Year this year, and said that their unit has moved to a new location, and the address for mailing letters in the future must also be changed. She also sent back the allowance for this period of time. Let her parents not worry, he is doing well in the army.
After reading the letter, Lin Meiyu felt relieved but also a little disappointed. She folded the letter and put it back into the envelope, then took out all the money in the envelope and handed it to Old Mrs. Tian.
"Mom! I'll give you this money."
Old Mrs. Tian took the money and counted it one by one.
Chen Guihua's eyes lit up when she saw the money in Old Mrs. Tian's hand.
"The total is one hundred and ten yuan. Fifty-five yuan will be kept with me, and you can keep the other half." Old Mrs. Tian counted out half of the money and handed it to Lin Meiyu, and put the remaining half in her pocket.
Tian Yuan was still a new recruit, and his monthly salary was just over ten yuan. He had no need to spend money in the army, so he saved all his money.
In addition, there are some scattered tickets, which are used for household use and are all kept in the hands of Old Mrs. Tian.
Chen Guihua looked at the half of the money that Old Mrs. Tian put into her pocket, with a hint of uncontrollable joy in her eyes.
She didn't have any thoughts about the half of the money given to Lin Meiyu. To her, the money earned by Tian Yuan was not hers in the first place. If half of it was given to Old Mrs. Tian, she would definitely use the money at home, so that their second branch could also benefit from it.
Lin Meiyu took the money as usual.
When Tian Yuan sent money back for the first time, Old Lady Tian also gave her half of the money. She originally planned to take it, after all, it was Old Lady Tian who paid for Tian Yuan and Tian Tian's schooling.
Tian Yuan is making money now, so it's normal for him to give the money to his family. At least that's what most families do now.
But Old Mrs. Tian said that they were the ones who raised the child and they deserved half the credit for his success, so she gave them half of her salary.
Originally, Lin Meiyu, Chen Guihua and the second child were still a little dissatisfied. After all, they had many children in their family and the money spent on schooling was also high.
As a result, she found that Chen Guihua seemed to have no such thing in her head, and only cared about eating and drinking every day.
Let alone the second child, he just works hard every day and doesn't care about anything else.
Neither of the couple has any common sense.
After discovering this, Lin Meiyu felt amused and helpless. She didn't say anything on weekdays, but she was a bit indulgent to her sister-in-law in her actions. When she cooked, she would secretly let her taste some of the food.
She never cared about the fact that Chen Guihua often ate more biscuits.
So the two sisters-in-law get along quite harmoniously.
Sure enough, Lin Meiyu heard Chen Guihua say, "Mom! Now that we have money, can we go buy some cakes? They said the new glutinous rice cakes from the supply and marketing cooperative are delicious, sweet and crispy."
After saying this, Chen Guihua swallowed her saliva.
Old Mrs. Tian glared at Chen Guihua and said, "What are you buying? Do I look like a glutinous rice noodle? I only know how to eat all day long. Are you going to pay for the food coupons?"
Chen Guihua shrank her neck, still a little unconvinced, "There's so much new grain, it's fine to just exchange for a pound of grain coupons."
