Soon all the adults and children in the village followed the postman's bicycle to inquire.
"Comrade, who are you sending this to?"
"You're going to the village commune, right? The commune is this way. You're going the wrong way!"
No household in the village received a letter all year round, let alone two such large packages.
The postman stopped the car and asked: "Yang Xiu's house, do you know where it is?"
Yang Xiu?
When adults heard this name, a question mark popped up in their minds, and it took them two seconds to realize: "Oh, her house is further ahead."
After all, Yang Xiu is usually labeled as Tian Cai's wife.
Moreover, this cowardly woman was like an invisible person in the village, with her eyebrows lowered and her appearance submissive, often making people fail to notice her.
Unexpectedly, these two packages were sent to her.
Everyone quickly thought of Tian Yuzhu, who had returned with her husband Jun a few months ago.
"Tsk, it must have been sent by Yuzhu."
"I never thought that Yang Xiu would be able to enjoy the blessing of that silly girl."
"I heard that Tian Cai originally thought Yuzhu was a burden and threw her to the man's family. But there was an old lady in the family who was very far-sighted. She said that fools have good fortunes, so she treated Yuzhu well. As a result, the girl gradually became smarter."
"Is this really the case?"
"Of course, didn't you see how clever Yuzhu had become when she came back last time? Her husband also loved her so much."
"The old lady from the man's family is a capable person."
The villagers chatted as they walked, and came to the gate of Tian's courtyard in a large crowd.
The postman stood outside the door calling for help, and the villagers also helped.
"Tian Xiang, come out quickly, your sister sent something to your mother."
The people in Lao Tian's family were having lunch when they heard some noise outside.
Tian Xiang was the most perceptive. He immediately smiled, put down his bowl and chopsticks, and ran out happily: "My sister sent something?"
"Who are you to Yang Xiu?" the postman asked responsibly.
"I'm her son."
As they were talking, the other members of the Tian family also ran out. Yang Xiu pointed at himself excitedly and said, "I am Yang Xiu."
The postman did not dare to neglect it: "Show me your ID card and sign it. These two packages are sent to you by someone else."
"Hey, I'll get it."
All the important documents in the family are in Tian Cai's hands.
He immediately turned around and ran back into the house to get his ID. After the postman checked it, Yang Xiu wrote his name as if he was drawing chicken feet.
"Okay, I'll unload the things for you." The postman unloaded the two tightly bundled packages and left. Without the two bags of things, he also lightened a lot of burden, and he was not so tired when he went back.
The Tian family members were all happy and smiling.
The villagers started to jeer, "Uncle Tian Cai, open it and see what's inside."
"Yeah, open it and take a look. Yuzhu is really willing to give away so many things."
"Open it quickly!"
Tian Cai's face showed pride: "Open it if you want."
Yang Xiu was a little reluctant to be so ostentatious, but since the man had agreed, she could only smile along.
Tian Ji ran into the kitchen, took out a machete, and cut open the two woven bags that were full of things.
The contents inside were soon revealed.
There were several new cotton-padded jackets in a bag. Judging from the patterns and sizes, Yang Xiu and Tian Ying, mother and daughter, each got one. In addition, Tian Cai and his two sons Tian Ji and Tian Xiang also got one each.
The reason why Tian Yuzhu bought one for her father Tian Cai was because of his good performance during this period.
At least he never beat his mother again, nor was he lazy and gluttonous anymore.
According to the letter Tian Xiang wrote to her, Tian Cai seemed like a different person. He took part in all the work in the fields and no longer beat or scolded Yang Xiu.
Once, some people in the village gossiped that Tian Ying, a divorced woman, came back to her parents' home to live off her parents, and was scolded by Tian Cai.
This shows that Tian Cai's paternal instinct has finally revived to some extent.
As for how long he could last, Tian Yuzhu wanted to give him a taste of sweetness first. If he turned bad again in the future, she would have a way to deal with him.
Seeing that every member of the Tian family had a new cotton-padded jacket, the onlookers, young and old, men, women, and children, all looked envious.
Cotton-padded jackets are not as good as summer clothes. Buying a new one will cost at least ten yuan.
I didn’t expect that after getting the cotton-padded jacket, I would also get a new quilt. Although there were only two quilts in total, it really amazed everyone.
These days everyone’s living conditions are poor, so buying a new quilt is no small matter.
The other bag was filled with food: malted milk, tea, peeled peanuts, refined rice and flour, dried goods, kelp, smoked fish...
There are so many kinds, at least seventeen or eighteen types.
The more Tian Cai took out, the more excited he became, reading out the items one by one like a menu in a restaurant.
Everyone in the village was envious. They didn't expect that this girl who married far away would care so much about her parents' home. It was really amazing.
The matchmaker immediately pushed her way through the crowd and came out: "Hey, Ah Cai, Ah Xiu, do you two want to find a marriage for Tian Ji? He's already 23 years old, not young anymore, he should get married and start a family."
He then added, "And Tian Ying, what's the big deal about divorce? I still remember the day she came back to the village. Oh my god, that little face, so skinny. Now she's looking so beautiful at her parents' house. That means it was a good thing she left that bastard. She can find another one. I guarantee it will be better than the previous one, definitely not worse."
Tian Ying didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Aunt, I won't consider this matter for the time being."
Tian Ji didn't say anything and scratched his head embarrassedly.
Tian Cai and Yang Xiu exchanged a glance, and the couple couldn't help but take two steps forward: "Aunt, are you really willing to help our Tian Ji find a wife?"
