When Da Niu pushed the cart in, he glanced at Tian An and walked straight past.
"Are you going to just hold onto the door for the rest of your life?"
Uh~~
Tian Anfang opened the door, walked over to the table, pulled out a stool, and sat down. He unconsciously rubbed his forehead. It felt like a big bump had appeared, no wonder it hurt so much.
I saw Daniu enter a room and come out with a bottle of medicinal wine. He put the wine on the table and went to the yard to wash his hands.
When he came back, he poured the medicinal wine on his hands, rubbed them to warm them up, and then put his hands on Tian An's head and rubbed it gently.
It felt quite comfortable. It was the first time in her past or present life that someone had treated her like this, yet she didn't feel disgusted. Instead, she felt a warm warmth in her heart.
"Now that the relationship has been confirmed, let's find a day and ask the elders in your tribe to help with the engagement!" Da Niu said as he rubbed Tian An's forehead.
Tian An looked up at him and said, "Are you still going to get engaged? Isn't it too early? I'm only 11 years old!"
Da Niu poured some more medicinal oil and rubbed his hands, saying, "Let's just arrange the marriage first to get things done. We can talk about the rest later. To avoid gossip from the villagers."
Tian An looked up at the tablet on the shrine, stopped his hand and said, "Brother Daniu, let's wait a little longer! Let's observe mourning for your parents first! We have to observe it for at least a hundred days. It's just a title, it doesn't matter to me."
Da Niu looked down at Tian An without saying a word, but his eyes were slightly red.
Tian An didn't know how to comfort him, so he just kept trying to find something to say to him: "Could you please help me unload the cart later, Brother Da Niu? And then help me return the cart to Uncle Da Shan's house. And please thank him for lending me the cart."
Daniu raised his head to stop the tears from flowing out. After a while, he said "OK" with a choked voice.
After treating the bump on Tian An's head and collecting the medicinal oil on the table, he walked back into the room. Tian An looked at his back and felt a little sad for him.
Although he was only fourteen or fifteen years old, he was forced to grow up overnight and support a family.
…………
After a long while, Daniu finally came out of the room carrying a box. His eyes were red, probably because he had been crying in there.
Daniu walked over to Tian An and pointed to the room he had just been in. He said calmly, "That's my room. I just packed up all my things. You can live there from now on!"
He glanced at the carts in the yard and said, "Take down your own things! I'll move the rest to the warehouse."
If you hadn't seen his red eyes, you wouldn't have guessed he'd just cried. He's such an introverted child, but people like him often have the most bitter hearts.
After moving the things, Daniu pushed Dashan's cart out to return the car.
Seeing Daniu pushing the cart out, Tian An shouted, "Brother Daniu, my brother and I are waiting for you at home, cooking!"
Xiaokang also followed suit: "I'll cook and wait for you!"
…
After seeing off Da Niu, Tian An took Xiao Kang to the kitchen to cook. Looking at the "clean" kitchen, she finally understood what it meant to have a "house where even mice don't visit" because there was really nothing there.
My goodness, the salt shaker was even cleaner than her face. The rice jar wasn't clean, but it was covered in dust.
I don't know how Daniel got through this period. People can't just drink water!
Xiaokang: "Sister, why do I feel like Da Niu is even poorer than the two of us? Does Da Niu count as eating his wife's food?"
Tian An nodded his head and said, "Do you know what it means to eat your wife's food? Who isn't poor these days? Didn't we both almost starve to death? Don't mention this again in the future. Your brother Daniu will be sad to hear it. When the time comes, we will be kicked out. Where will you live?"
Xiaokang was so scared that he quickly covered his mouth with his hands.
Tian An shook her head in amusement and went to the warehouse to get her belongings.
…………
Tian An scooped some white rice, washed it with water, and put it in a pot to steam. He asked Xiaokang to watch the fire while he went to prepare other ingredients and seasonings.
White rice is a rare commodity in the countryside. Farmers harvest millet, grind it into white rice, and then sell it for coarse grains. They simply can't bear to eat white rice themselves.
This time, they got two bags of money when the family was divided. It was because Li Dazhu was too lazy to sell it in time that he kept it. Unexpectedly, it became a bargain for her. I guess when Qian Shi thinks about this, she will be furious.
The Tian family's conditions were not good, and the distribution of things was not much. Tian An secretly took some salt, oil and other things from the space and mixed them in.
After cleaning up and steaming the rice, Tian An started cooking.
First, I used the pumpkin I was given to make pumpkin soup.
She went to the vegetable patch she'd been given, picked a bunch of sweet potato tips, chopped a few garlic cloves, and added some cooking oil to make a dish of garlic sweet potato tips. The cooking oil was still in her space! She didn't dare take more, so she just poured some out of a clay pot. Daniu didn't know exactly what she'd taken. If anyone asked, she'd just say it was from the split.
I peeled three more potatoes and made a plate of spicy and sour potato shreds. I used the chopped pepper sauce from the space again, since I would just say it was for the splitting of the family.
Finally, I added some shredded radish to the salad. The three dishes and one soup were complete.
Fortunately, although the yield of crops in this era was generally not high, there were still many varieties, similar to those in the present world. Otherwise, I really don’t know what to cook.
…dongdongdong…dongdongdong…
Ah! Brother Daniu is back. It's really better to come at the right time than to come early! He came back just as she finished.
Tian An walked quickly to the door, took down the bolt, opened the door and called out, "Brother Daniu, you......"
But when she looked up, she saw a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old wearing an emerald green dress and a hanging bun.
The girl was also startled when she saw Tian An open the door. She then took two steps back and looked at the gate, as if to make sure if she had walked into the wrong one.
Before Tian An could speak, he returned and said, "You bold beggar, how dare you break into a house and steal in broad daylight? I will teach you a lesson..."
By the time Tian An reacted, the girl's raised hand was almost touching her face. Tian An had no choice but to close her eyes and turn her head to the side...
