27 I Miss You So Much
◎Steal a half day of leisure◎
Liu Tianshi was the eldest daughter of Tian Niu and Huang Shi. As they were new parents, they doted on their daughter. She had a good year until her younger brother was born a year later.
Tian Nongxi was very surprised. How could a person have memories before the age of one? But Huang often said so, Tian Erniang believed it, and Liu Tianshi never doubted it.
She got married early, her husband's family was poor, and she herself was not able to conceive, so she suffered a lot. The good days she spent at her parents' home were her only comfort in the dead of night.
The family that Yanagida married into lived on another mountain. It was neither far nor far away. After hearing the news, she rushed back all night and finally made it back. It was also neither close nor distant. Over the years, whenever she wanted to go home to visit, she would be slapped by her husband first.
"A daughter who is married off is like spilled water." Her mother listened to her complaints and scolded her disapprovingly.
But this time is different, this time it is my father who is gone.
When her husband heard the news, he dropped his hoe and went home to comfort her. He took out fifty coins from under his pillow and gave them to her.
Her daughter who married next door wanted to come with her, but she thought about it and didn't let her, so she walked alone all night.
In the dim light of dawn, Yanagida finally saw the man who gave birth to her and raised her. The belated bitterness overwhelmed her, and her body, which had been holding on, was knocked down by the conspicuous coffin.
She fell down.
Huang was grief-stricken, "His daughter—"
Tian Nongle wiped her tears, "Sister——"
Tian Yaozu raised his head from the porridge, "Auntie——"
Tian Nongxi wiped his face and called out, "Auntie."
"Ouch." The fat lady dropped the spatula and ran over to help her up. "Why are you doing this?"
Yanagida was supported and walked towards the coffin in the main house. She knelt on the mat and kowtowed three times, crying out of breath.
When Huang saw this, she also started crying.
She cried and tried to get her daughter up, but she couldn't get her daughter to get up. Instead, she cried even more sadly.
"What a sin!" Huang closed her eyes and sobbed, "I am an unlucky person! I sent away my son and then my man."
"Mother, mother! Don't say that, mother." Liu Tian hurriedly got up, supporting her legs with one hand and wiping Huang's tears with the other hand.
The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried heart-wrenchingly. When the sun saw this, it couldn't help but hide behind the clouds to wipe away its tears.
Suddenly, the sky was covered with dark clouds and the ground was dead silent.
Tian Nong was happy to see this, and walked forward and gently advised, "Eat first, eat first."
He and his sister were seventeen years apart in age. As soon as he could read and recognize people, Yanagida was married off. After that, the two of them only saw each other a few times a year. She was more like an unfamiliar distant relative than a sister.
Therefore, although he was talking to Yanagida, his eyes were directed at Huang.
The fat aunt also said: "Let's take a break and eat first."
Huang finally stood up, took her daughter's hand and walked out of the main house, scooping her a bowl of porridge.
Yanagida took small sips of her wine while listening to Huang's chatter.
She came to her senses and began to persuade her mother to be more open-minded.
Huang felt uncomfortable after hearing this and gradually stopped talking.
After finishing her meal, Liu Tian put down her bowl, covered Huang's hand with hers, and said seriously, "Mother, the dead cannot be resurrected. Now that Dad is gone, you are our children's last hope. You must take good care of yourself." As she spoke, she choked up and said, "I am an unfilial daughter. I can't always be by your side. My second brother is gone too. I only hope that my third brother..."
Huang interrupted her and said, "Don't worry about that. Your third brother is very good to me." As she spoke, she glanced at Tian Nong Le, who was burning incense to Tian Niu again, patted her daughter's hand gently, and whispered, "Your third sister-in-law is also very good to me and takes good care of my health. Otherwise, how would an old woman like me get the copper coins to buy medicine?"
She waved to Tian Yaozu, and the three of them gathered together and talked about something. Huang got up and took her daughter into the house.
He came out after a while and stood at the door looking for his granddaughter.
Tian Nongxi was called over just after he finished eating, pulled into the house, and called people obediently.
Liu Tian looked at her fatherless and motherless niece with great pity, and kept stroking the back of Tian Nongxi's hand with her palm, "Poor child, she has grown up to be so beautiful and pretty."
Huang remained noncommittal. "Even though her parents are gone, she still has her grandparents, and you uncles and aunts, who are raising her."
Tian Nongxi stared at his toes and didn't reply.
There were several packets of medicine on the couch, tied together and placed in Yanagida's bag.
Liu Tian took it aside, patted the seat she had vacated, and Tian Nongxi sat down obediently.
"We should have brought your sister Xiao Hong here, but she just got married and it's not convenient for her to go out." Xiao Hong is Liu Tian's only child. She is two years older than Tian Er Niang and got married some time ago.
Yanagida got married at the age of eighteen and gave birth to a daughter at the age of twenty-four. She has had no more children since then.
She had a dull look on her face and usually didn't take her children with her when she went out, for fear of being laughed at.
Now that my daughter is married, I think it would be a good opportunity to ask people about it, so I often talk to myself.
"I have to go back after Dad's funeral. It's not convenient to bring Xiao Hong with me."
Tian Nongxi didn't know how to respond, her face was almost frozen with smile, and she hoped that the two people on the couch would let her torture others.
Things don't always go as planned. Seeing her niece's beautiful smile, Liu Tian was so happy that she couldn't help but wonder, "Second Mother, you're seventeen now, right? You can get married in less than a year. Do you have someone you like?"
She didn't know that her niece was almost betrothed to the old man when she was alive, and almost arranged to have a ghost marriage after her death. This was like bringing up something that was not relevant at all, and Huang gave her a stern look.
"Your father just passed away, how can she get married?" Huang Madam found some strength in her criticism of her daughter. "If you don't observe the mourning period for this year, I won't be able to face your father again."
Tian Nongxi suppressed his smile and shook his head.
Yanagida quickly comforted her mother, changed the subject, and asked, "How was the harvest this year?"
harvest?
"His girl, the harvest in the fields is good."
Tian Nongxi threw the cabbage into the backpack, straightened up and wiped the sweat off his face, his rough voice exploding in his ears.
The old man wearing a straw hat was looking over here with his hands on the hoe.
She responded, but the old man was hard of hearing and didn't hear clearly, so he bent down to hoe the ground again.
Huang calmed down and wanted to pick some vegetables for her daughter to take home. Tian Nongxi didn't want to stay at home anymore and asked to go out.
By this time, most of the villagers in Tianjia Village were up. Some had already arrived at Tianjia Village, while others were on their way. Very few were still working in the fields. Most of them were elderly people who didn't want to join in the fun, or their children had gone to pay their respects.
There are also some etiquettes for paying respects. Each family can send only one person, and families who want to help can send two people. At the very least, you can bring children who cannot take care of themselves. If the elderly also go, it will seem that the family has no food to eat, or that they are greedy.
Tian Nongxi eavesdropped on the conversation of the women in the kitchen, took it to heart, and ran out to take a break.
After picking the cabbages, she pulled some lettuce until the bamboo basket was full.
There were more and more old people in the fields. Some of them were humming folk songs while picking vegetables, while others were walking slowly with hoes in hand. When they saw Tiannongxi, they stopped what they were doing and greeted her. Because their hearing was not very good, they often stopped at just to greet her.
After leaving the frowning Tian family, the sun rose, the clouds left, and the blue sky was no different from the original world.
Nice weather makes people want to be idle.
Tian Nongxi lay in the shade of a tree, covering his face with the straw hat that Tian Jiashun had brought back. The sparse sunlight filtered through the gaps in the bamboo slats and poured into the small world, making him drowsy.
The melodious songs between heaven and earth became the best lullaby, and she fell asleep naturally.
When he woke up again, the sun was already high in the sky. Although the straw hat was not woven tightly, it blocked a lot of wind. Tian Nongxi was so hot that he broke out in a thin layer of sweat.
She rolled up her sleeves and prepared to go to the river with her bamboo basket to wash her face before going home.
"Host? Host?"
"Don't pretend you can't hear Caicai's voice, wuwuwu."
Tian Nongxi paused while carrying the bamboo basket, and the sleeves she had just pinned on slipped down. She rolled up her sleeves and said, "Wow." Her tone was flat and indifferent.
"Host, what's wrong with you? Host, don't you miss Cai Cai?"
"Nana has been calling you for a long time, woooo."
Tian Nongxi nodded, but before he finished speaking, his tone suddenly rose, and his perfunctory reply became extremely passionate.
No wonder there are always noises coming out of my dreams, like a mole that I can never stop hitting.
It turned out that she was not woken up by the heat, but by being shouted at.
…
Tian Nongxi: "Welcome?"
"Cai Cai misses the host so much."
"I miss you too, Cai Cai." These words were true. Although Tian Nongxi had a cold face, without Cai Cai, many questions would have no answers.
"Oh right..."
Nana didn't seem to notice that she had spoken, and was lost in her own sorrow.
"Caica heard that the host was suffering from depression, so she risked being fired by her boss and dropped everything to come back. The host just ignored Caicai, but now he is so cold and indifferent. Caicai feels so heartbroken."
"I'm not depressed." Tian Nongxi walked out of the farmland, greeted an elderly man passing by, and then said, "I'm suicidal. Thank you."
Cai Cai said "No" in a very international way, and the sharp sound echoed in Tian Nongxi's mind.
She wished she had an ideology so that she could rush into her head and beat up this performance-oriented system that came from nowhere, but due to her own purpose, she just walked her own way calmly as if she hadn't heard it.
Cai Cai was tired of shouting, and the air finally fell silent for two seconds.
Two seconds later, Tian Nongxi walked to the river.
"No, host, what are you doing? Don't you want to go home?"
"If you die now, Caicai will be expelled! She'll also be interrogated by the System Investigation Bureau!"
Amid the sound of the system turning over and over, Tian Nongxi squatted down and scooped up a cup of clear water.
She washed her face and asked, "You mean if I commit suicide now, you'll have a hard time?"
"...No, host, you heard it wrong."
Tian Nongxi stood up, and the water droplets hanging on her eyelashes slid down under the weight, and two drops mischievously entered her eyes.
She reached out and rubbed it, looking like she was wiping away tears after crying.
"Host...Host?"
"Okay, Cai Cai can secretly cook for you."
"Huh?" In order to show his indifference, Tian Nongxi walked a few more steps towards the river.
Her eyes were indeed hurting, and she didn't notice that there was some moss growing on a stone under her feet.
I slipped and almost fell into the river.
At the critical moment, Tian Nongxi's arm was suddenly strangled by a hand.
She looked up and saw the man who was in Linqing Pavilion that day.
