081 The Trouble at the Tiedan Family

Liang Tiantian was a little tempted when she heard that. Tiedan Niang was indeed quite powerful, but she couldn't blame him for what happened that day. Afterwards, the man talked to their brother and sister a lot, so she thought it was feasible.

She nodded and said, "Okay, Auntie, if you have time someday, you can help us and talk about it." There was enough firewood at home, so she wasn't in a hurry.

"What are you waiting for? Let's get over it now, and other people will find other jobs." The farmer's family had a hard time. There was little food at home in the winter, and they didn't even have to dig wild vegetables. Many people went to work in the city.

.Aunt Juhua is also afraid that things will change.

Liang Tiantian didn't expect Aunt Juhua to be so anxious, so the brother and sister followed him to Tiedan's house again.

Speaking of the Tiedan family, we are actually still related to Liang Tiantian and his family. It’s just that since they have relatives from the fifth service, they don’t move around much.

Liang Tiedan's father is Liang Shouwang. He is 45 years old this year. Even though Tiedan is only ten years old, this child is a real man who has come from old age. Liang Shouwang had three daughters before this. The eldest daughter and the second daughter were married long ago.

The youngest daughter, Shan Xing, is also twelve years old this year. Liang Shouwang and his wife were in their thirties before they expected such a son. They were afraid of dropping it when they held it in their hands, and they were afraid of melting it when they held it in their mouths.

Usually Tiedan is more pampered than other children. A child from a good farmer's family has grown up like a young master.

Tiedan used to like to play with Liang Mancang and Mancun. Liang Tiantian met him twice. He was a naive child and was really spoiled. Fortunately, the child was still good at heart. Liang Tiantian felt that if he was well

Education is still for the kind of children who can be reformed.

Liang Shouwang's family lives in the middle of the village. It has a pretty good yard, and it looks like they are living well. The three spacious main rooms are all made of large bluestones, and the cost is not high.

Liang Tiantian remembered what Aunt Juhua said. Liang Shouwang used to be a blacksmith and his life was very good. But for some unknown reason, his life was now more difficult.

The yard is very big, with a vegetable patch in front. There is nothing much in the winter. I just put some sundries there. A few chickens strolled leisurely in the yard, and a strong woman held a shovel and picked something up.

Only when I got closer did I realize that forgiveness is like picking up chicken poop.

Liang Tiantian suddenly realized, no wonder the chicken yard was so clean. Mrs. Liang Liu was also a diligent person.

Logically speaking, such a diligent farmer should not live in poverty. Liang Tiantian became more and more curious.

Farmers usually don't lock their yards. Aunt Juhua went directly into the yard and said with a smile: "The watchman is so diligent, and he is picking up chicken droppings here." Obviously this was not the first time he had seen this situation.

Mrs. Liang Liu raised her head and saw Aunt Juhua bringing brother and sister Liang Tiantian with her. She was obviously stunned for a moment. However, she was also familiar with Aunt Juhua, so she complained: "You think I am willing to pick it up. There is nothing I can do.

How many chickens can be sold for the eggs they raise? I also have some oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar at home, but I can’t even see the chicken poop. If I accidentally step on it, it’s not a big worry. I’ll kill it.

I still can’t bear to part with it, alas. It’s a terrible fate, and I’ll catch up with these damn Turkic soldiers to plunder me. These days are getting more and more sad. Fortunately, my chicken was not robbed, otherwise I wouldn’t even have an egg..."

While putting down the shovel, he warmly greeted Aunt Juhua and the others to go inside.

Mr. Liang Liu was obviously a talkative person, and even though he kept saying something here and there, everyone could understand him. He felt that the chickens were dead, and he couldn't bear to part with the eggs that the chickens laid. He would even kill them, so he just complained a few words.

Liang Tiantian followed him into the house. The Liang family's room was very spacious. It was not like the paper lattice windows in their home. The windows were the kind of light-transmitting glazed windows. Although there were only two in each room, they were

Much brighter.

Liang Tiantian inquired privately, that kind of glazed windows are very similar to the glass of later generations and are very expensive. A small piece like this from the Liang family costs one tael of silver. The Liang family paid six yuan at once, six taels of silver.

, they can even buy an acre of paddy field in the countryside, and their family is really willing to do so. This also reflects from the side that the life of Liang Shouwang's family was easy in the past.

"You, please stop complaining. Even though these chickens are shitting and dying, they are laying a lot of eggs. Why, the money for oil, salt, sauce and vinegar has come out all year round. Nothing in this world is perfect.

You, stop complaining." Aunt Juhua smiled and patted Mrs. Liang Liu's hand, "You, you are so blessed that you don't know how lucky you are."

"How lucky am I?" Mrs. Liang Liu sighed when she mentioned this. "I admit it before, but I have been blessed for a few years. But since Tiedan's grandfather fell ill, all the money in the family has been wiped out.

Finally, the blacksmith shop was sold... Alas, even the old man didn't keep it, and the family's life was over. Now everything is difficult." Mrs. Liang Liu had a sad look on her face. Also, from frugality to luxury, from frugality to luxury, from

It is difficult to live in luxury and frugality. From the wealthy life in the past to the tight situation now, no one feels comfortable.

Only then did Liang Tiantian realize that the sentimental Tiedan family had lost money because they were treating the old man. Seeing how Tiedan Niang mentioned the old man, not only was she not resentful, but she had a sad look on her face, she seemed to be a truly filial person.

Such a family, even if they have some minor flaws, are not the kind of treacherous and evil people. Liang Tiantian felt relieved about the next business.

Aunt Juhua and Tiedan Niang are also familiar with each other, and they chatted for a few words before getting down to the main topic. "Why are you alone at home, where are Tiedan and Shanxing? Your eldest brother has gone out to make money again?"

"Tie Dan and Shan Xing went to their eldest sister's house. As you know, my eldest girl married a well-to-do family, so life is easier. Life at home is tense, and Tiedan hasn't eaten meat for half a month, and she's hungry.

.At this time when the body is growing, the child is suffering, so let Tiedan go to his eldest sister to eat something good. You can’t lose the child in any way." Liang Tiantian didn’t understand the theory of this mother-in-law. This banker

People, isn't it normal for people to not eat meat for half a month? There are many people who haven't eaten meat for half a year, not to mention half a month. Looking at Tiedan Niang's behavior, I guess the preference for boys over girls has been deeply rooted in the bones.

Liang Tiantian was a little speechless, is his son so important?

If she gave birth to someone like Liang Tiechui, Liang Tiantian felt that it would not be as reliable as a daughter.

Okay, I'm going too far again.

After thinking about it, Liang Tiantian always sat by the kang and listened to their conversation.

"Tiedan's father has gone to town. No, the weather is getting colder and colder. This firewood can be sold more easily, so I just want to sell more." Tiedan Niang said.

As soon as Aunt Juhua heard this, she exchanged glances with Liang Tiantian. This firewood was easy to sell, so people might not accept their business.

"It's cold now, I think it's easier to do business." Aunt Juhua said with a smile.

"What's so easy to do." Tiedan Niang sighed: "It's cold, and there are many people buying firewood in the town. But there are more people selling firewood. This autumn, these damn Turkic soldiers are coming to make trouble.

Once upon a time, every household was having a hard time, and it was hard to find a job in the process. Those who stayed at home on the ground set their sights on the mountains. Those who were capable went hunting, and those who were not capable had to collect firewood.

Selling, who makes this firewood costless? But here, there are so many people selling it, Tiedan Daddy can't get back a few cents a day, sometimes the firewood is half sold and half given away, his hands are so cold

, I don’t have much money, oh, don’t mention how difficult life is..." As she spoke, Tiedan Niang’s eyes turned red. She thought of the days at home. They used to be the family that bought firewood. Who had ever

Just think about living the life you have now.

Every family has its own problems, and Liang Tiantian knows that every family is having a hard time, and now everyone is basically resting on their laurels. I heard that the price of food is going to increase again, and it is estimated that everyone's life will be even worse in the future.

"I didn't expect you guys to have such a hard time." Aunt Juhua said with emotion.

"Who says it's not the case?" Tiedan Niang wiped her eyes, "It's because I'm incompetent. If you can do embroidery like you, sister, you can still make some money for the family." She was really envious.

Chrysanthemum, a woman can support a family, this is not something that everyone can do.

"It's not because of life." Again, what woman wants to support herself? "You're still talking about me. I don't have your blacksmithing skills. Even though I'm a woman, I'm no worse than those men. Let me tell you, you guys

It's better to save money and find a way to open that blacksmith shop, that's what makes a living."

"It's not that easy." Tiedan Niang sighed.

When Liang Tiantian saw that the woman's chatter was getting further and further, he coughed and said, "Well, aunt, my eldest brother and I have something to tell you." Liang Tiantian glanced at Aunt Juhua.

"What's wrong with Tiantian? Tiedan isn't at home. When he comes back, let him come and play with you." Tiedan's mother didn't take the children seriously, thinking they were here to play.

Liang Tiantian hates the cold and is playing with a little kid? Does he seem so childish?

"Look at me, I've forgotten something serious." Aunt Juhua slapped her thigh, "Sister, I'm not an outsider with you, that's it." Then she told Liang Tiantian and the others about buying firewood.

"There are only four children in the family. Their mother left early. As you know, I was close to their mother. Seeing these children suffering, I can't do anything to help them. Tiantian and the others are diligent.

But it’s not easy for a kid to go up the mountain to cut firewood at such an early age. Look at Mancang’s hands as cold as steamed buns... I think since I’m buying firewood, I need to find someone real.

When a child is cheated, I think of my eldest brother in your family."

Tiedan Niang looked a little hesitant when she heard this, and said: "I know Mancang and the others are working hard. Mancang is one year younger than Tiedan, so he has to go up the mountain to cut firewood. This is really hard. Otherwise, in the future,

If there is any firewood that cannot be sold, I will ask your uncle to send it to you. You can use it sparingly. You have to survive this winter no matter what." Tiedan Niang was pretty good and refused directly without saying anything. She was obviously

I didn't hear the words about buying firewood clearly, and thought the children were simply looking for help.

When Liang Tiantian heard the misunderstanding, he hurriedly said: "Auntie, we are buying firewood, two cents a day. Do you think your uncle is willing?" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it.
