Bai Xiaohua didn't care what they thought and just went about her own business, working hard. Although she could only earn very little money every night, she would save up the two thousand yuan one day if she did so.
The family was down-to-earth. If there was no work in the fields, they would make acorn jelly and then sell it in the county town.
They were divided into two groups, one group went to the county town, and the other group delivered the jelly to various brigades along the way, and they could earn a lot of money in a day.
When the farming season was busy, they would work hard. Then they would make some jelly at night, and during the day, they would ask the children to take the jelly to the brigades around their brigades to deliver it. They didn't have to go far, and they saved up a little bit at a time. In addition to the eldest son's wife, who used all the money to pay off the 2,000 yuan she owed, the second and third son's wives also saved a lot of money.
Before this, Tian Tian had ordered acorn jelly from Bai Xiaohua for several days, and through these visits, Bai Xiaohua became familiar with their family.
"Did Shen Lingling call you?" After the two of them finished reminiscing about the past, Tian Yun asked Tiantian while eating melon seeds.
Tian Tian nodded and said happily, "Yes! She called me two days before I left. She said she would be back after the Chinese New Year."
Tian Yun was a little happy to hear that. She seldom called Shen Lingling. Besides, she was busy with work and often couldn't answer the phone. She came home too late at night and fell asleep immediately because she was tired. She even rarely contacted Tian Tian, let alone Shen Lingling.
Tian Tian had a lot of free time during these winter and summer vacations, and she was at home, so when Shen Lingling called, Tian Tian usually answered the phone.
"Will Niu Niu come this time? I haven't seen Niu Niu for two years. Niu Niu should be a big kid now." Since she became pregnant, Tian Yun has developed an inexplicable liking and expectation for children. Originally, she thought Niu Niu was just cute, but now she even feels a little bit of maternal love for her.
Tian Tian thought for a while while eating melon seeds, "Niuniu should be six years old this year, right?"
Anyway, when Shen Lingling left, Niu Niu was already quite big, about three or four years old. Now it has been two years since she left, so she should be six years old now.
But she was so confused about her own age, and even worse about other people's ages.
"Shen Lingling didn't say whether she would bring Niuniu back or not."
"So how is Shen Lingling and Fang Siwen doing now? Are they together or divorced?" Tian Yun asked curiously.
Tian Tian shook her head. "No? They are doing fine now."
When she and Shen Lingling talk on the phone, they rarely talk about Fang Siwen. Most of the time, they talk about their children and their experiences. However, when Gu Zhao and Fang Siwen talk on the phone, she often hears Fang Siwen talk about him and Shen Lingling. Tian Tian also learns about their recent situation from Gu Zhao.
"It seems that after Shen Lingling went to Beijing, the two of them had a quarrel for a while, but later they talked together and reached a settlement on this matter." Tian Tian said.
Actually, if there is any conflict between the two of them, it's not a big one. It's just that Fang Siwen's parents look down on Shen Lingling. Plus, they haven't seen each other for a long time, so they both feel strange and distant from each other. So it's not a big deal for them to get along with each other and get used to each other after some adjustments.
Moreover, after Fang Siwen found out that Shen Lingling was not used to getting along with his parents, he immediately applied to his unit for a separate house and moved out with Shen Lingling and Niu Niu.
The really difficult problem between them is that they have no common language.
Fang Siwen is a college student, and Shen Lingling is an elementary school student, who hasn't even finished elementary school yet. There is some communication gap between them.
However, after Shen Lingling went to the capital, she did not give up studying as Tian Tian suggested. Instead, she taught herself at home and then started a business.
They resell all kinds of plastic jewelry from the south and then bring them here to sell.
Maybe it's because they have experienced more things, read more books, and met more people, so the differences between them in this respect have gradually disappeared. Their communication is becoming more and more effective, and their relationship is getting better and better. Now they live a happy life.
Tian Yun was quite happy to hear that, but she still felt a little unhappy. They both saw how Fang Siwen and Shen Lingling quarreled and got angry, so they both didn't have a good impression of Fang Siwen.
It's just that Tian Tian had a lot of phone calls with Shen Lingling during this period. She could also hear the changes in Fang Siwen on the phone, so her resistance to Fang Siwen might not be as deep as Tian Yun's. Tian Yun was pregnant and was affected by progesterone, so her mood fluctuated more and she hated Fang Siwen even more.
"Don't worry. The person in question won't come back with Shen Lingling this year. It's just that Lingling is taking Niuniu with her, so you won't be able to see him."
After hearing this, the angry Tian Yun took a few deep breaths to calm down her anger, and then she smiled and hugged An An, who had been turned around by everyone. She was also afraid that An An would kick her stomach, so she put An An horizontally on her legs, with An An's calves facing her mother's legs.
An An didn't go to the nursery a week before the Spring Festival. She hadn't seen other children of her age for a long time. She was very excited to see Tian Yining today. She kept kicking her legs and wanted to find her little sister to play with. But this annoying adult kept carrying her around, so she couldn't see her little sister anymore.
An An was also a little angry. She lay on Tian Yun's legs, kicking her legs non-stop, and yelled angrily.
Tian Tian found An An's behavior so funny that she couldn't help but burst into laughter. She reached out and took An An from Tian Yun, who was a little afraid that An An would cry. She said jokingly, "An An is going to look for her little sister. Go over there. She's over there."
Tian Tian took An An back as she was and sent her to Tian Yining. Sure enough, after she arrived next to Tian Yining, An An was no longer angry and looked at Tian Yining with blinking eyes.
Apparently, Tian Yining also saw children often. She was not impatient at all when she saw An An, but instead took An An to play with the toys in her hand.
This toy was the doll that Tian Tian gave her last night. Tian Yining liked it very much and spent the whole morning fiddling with the doll's joints.
