When the old lady spoke, no one dared to speak. Only Tian Yuzhu helped her mix the noodles while coaxing her: "Grandma, it's not worth getting angry while we're eating. It's bad for your health."
"Okay, okay, with a little girl like you here, even if my anger is too great, it won't get any bigger."
The old lady was very happy with her coaxing and immediately smiled and said, "Eat noodles, eat noodles."
While eating noodles, Tian Yuzhu said to Su Zhen and Tian Ying: "Sister-in-law, sister, let's learn tailoring tomorrow. I have already bought the cloth!"
"Okay, I've almost mastered the design drawings through repeated study." Su Zhen said.
"Sister, what about you?" Tian Yuzhu hoped that Tian Ying would be more generous and join in the conversation more.
Tian Ying looked at everyone sheepishly: "I learn slower than my sister-in-law, but I have also learned half of it."
Tian Yuzhu said: "Don't be in a hurry, take your time, you can learn while making clothes."
After she said that, Tian Ying felt much better.
Her sister couldn't even speak clearly before, but now she can comfort people so well. She just feels very happy.
After the family finished eating noodles, Su Zhen and Tian Ying collected the bowls and went to the kitchen to wash them.
At this time, Shi De also came to the new courtyard. After entering the house, he did not call anyone, but squatted in a corner.
His hand involuntarily reached for his pipe, but before he took it out, he suddenly remembered that Shi Zhentang didn't allow him to smoke in the house, so he had to put his hand down in disappointment.
She said sullenly, "Mom, I met Dahua today. She wanted Xiaoli to give birth to the baby. She had the same idea as you, that is, she wanted Xiaoli to have someone to rely on when she gets old.
Dahua also said that she's doing well in there, so she'll probably come back a month or two earlier, which means she'll probably be back in the winter, just in time for Xiaoli to give birth..."
"Okay, okay, since this is something you two have decided on, there's no need to tell us."
The old lady interrupted him impatiently.
Ever since the day Shi De stole medicine from Uncle Tao and wanted to give it to Shi Xiaoli, the old lady disliked him more and more.
He is already a grandfather, but he still hasn't become a decent person. The old lady really dislikes him.
Shi De murmured, "We are all family, so I came to tell you that if Xiaoli has a baby and we can't take care of it, or if there are things we can't teach, you will have to help her."
"Hey, you're thinking of me now?" The old lady sneered, "Let's take it one step at a time. Just don't let Yang Dahua teach another Shi Xiaoli."
“…”
Shi De's face immediately turned red.
After a moment's silence, he sighed, "Although I agree to let Xiaoli keep the baby, her current condition isn't good for the baby either. So tomorrow... you brothers, Zhentang, have to accompany me to take Xiaoli to the county hospital. I'll see if the doctors have any medicine that won't harm the baby and can cure Xiaoli."
"That's fine, but if anything happens to Xiaoli in the future, you can't blame us, and you can't throw this dirty water on Yuzhu. Everything she did was for Xiaoli's own good."
Shi Zhentang's voice was very cold.
He had long been extremely disappointed with this father, but sending Shi Xiaoli to the hospital was originally the plan of him and his wife.
And it would be better to send her to the hospital. Since hypnosis doesn't work on her right now, this is the only way.
Shi Weimin also nodded and agreed: "I will go tomorrow too."
Shi Weiqiang didn't move. He was counting on his fingers and didn't take his father's words to heart at all.
Yes, Shi Decai kicked him out of the house a day ago, and at that time he had made up his mind not to recognize him as his father anymore.
Everyone looked at him: "..."
In fact, there would be no room in the car even if he went, and the father and son were like enemies now, so it was not appropriate to force them.
Shi Zhentang didn't say anything to him, but just said, "Old Third, go to work as usual tomorrow. If the villagers ask about Xiaoli, just tell them directly."
"I understand, second brother." Shi Weiqiang agreed quickly. He only listened to his second brother and sister-in-law now.
Shi De, who was squatting in the corner, sighed deeply. It seemed that this unfilial son was really going to fight him to the end.
"Okay, it's getting late, everyone go back and rest!" The old lady spoke up for fear of further quarreling.
It was indeed very tiring after tossing and turning all night.
Everyone got off the kang and went their separate ways.
Tian Ying brought some water for washing feet and followed Tian Yuzhu and her husband to live in the old house as usual.
At night, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse.
She and Tian Yuzhu lay side by side on the kang, and soon the girl fell asleep.
Tian Ying turned sideways and looked at her sister who was so close to her. A question that she had been suppressing flashed through her mind: Yuzhu, why do you make me feel both familiar and unfamiliar now?
If her sister before and her sister now didn't look exactly the same, she would never have believed that they were the same person.
I wonder how surprised her parents will be when they see her!
Could it be that the Shi family is really a blessed place that made her silly sister smart?
…
The next morning, Shi Zhentang and his team set off at dawn.
After breakfast, Shi Weiqiang also went to the fields. Chengcheng and Doudou went to Uncle Xu's house to learn to read. Before leaving, Tian Yuzhu packed two handfuls of egg noodles in a bag for them to take with them.
Just say that my uncle and aunt bought it from Xinyi Town and invite Uncle Xu to have a taste.
The two little ones went happily.
Tian Yuzhu took out the cloth she had bought and placed it on the small table on the old lady's kang, and taught Su Zhen and Tian Ying how to cut it.
The old lady was also learning with her eyes squinted. She was very energetic and didn't feel tired at all after studying for the whole morning.
Once you've finished cutting, you can start sewing.
This time the old lady personally came out to test Su Zhen and Tian Ying's needlework. She also knew how to do flat stitch, basting, overlocking, hemming, buttonhole sewing, backstitching... and taught the young people everything.
What do you call it? An old person in the family is like a treasure.
Tian Yuzhu can now rest assured about the stitching step!
They chatted and laughed like this, and when it was time for dinner, Su Zhen didn't want to waste any time and just gave everyone a bowl of noodles and that was it.
By the time the sun sets, the main bodies and collars of the ten garments are basically half done. I will continue to work on the remaining pieces tomorrow. After these are all completed, I can make the sleeves, close the cuffs and the bottoms, and then add the decorations and buttons.
In short, everyone was very motivated and was still working until Shi Weiqiang came back from work!
This guy came over to join in the fun, picking up this one to look at it and wanting to touch that one.
The old lady slapped her on the back of her hand and said, "What are you looking at? You don't understand. Go and cook."
"Grandma, I've been working in the fields all day!" Shi Weiqiang pouted and tried to act coquettishly.
"Your second brother and the others will be back soon. We'll give you a chance to show off. Go quickly."
Well, the old lady knew how to handle this ruffian. When she heard the word "second brother", she immediately put down the clothes in her hands and turned into the kitchen.
After a while, the sound of chopping firewood was heard.
