After leaving the police station, the two people hurried back. As soon as they entered Zhangshan Village, they saw Mrs. Tian sitting under the tree at the head of the village, waiting.
Tian Jing shook the household registration book in his hand and said, "Everyone, take a look. I personally handed the Tian family's household registration book into the hands of Mrs. Tian."
"In the future, when the Tian family can't find their household registration book, don't rely on me. I plan to send it back to the Tian family in person. Mrs. Tian is worried about waiting here."
There were many women at the head of the village basking in the sun and picking up their shoe soles. Everyone was already interested in the affairs of the Tian family. When Mrs. Tian came, they ignored all their questions. Mrs. Tian turned out to be waiting for her household registration book.
Upon hearing Tian Jing's words, someone immediately asked, "Are you Tian Jing? You are much more handsome than Tian Ping."
"It's just that you don't look like the Tian family. The Tian family are all big-faced. Are you too thin because of hunger? You're pitiful."
"Who is this man next to you? I heard that you are married. Is this your man?"
"Don't talk nonsense. Even though Tian Ping found a second wife, she is from a wealthy family. Tian Jing is so handsome. Instead of marrying someone rich, she should find someone healthy."
"I'm not talking nonsense. Listen to me, there must be something fishy here. The two sisters got married on the same day. One of them came back with her second wedding and gave us sweets to eat. The other just came back today and didn't even leave a meal. There was no
It’s weird that it’s fishy.”
Mrs. Tian's face was very ugly. She reached out to snatch the household registration book from Tian Jing's hand.
Tian Jing raised her hand and took a few steps back, "Don't worry, I'm asking everyone to be a witness, so that everyone can see with their own eyes that I returned the household registration book to you."
"In case you are old and have poor memory, and you forget where you received it after you lost it, you will come to me to ask for compensation. In order to change your household registration, I spent fifty yuan to borrow the household registration book."
Fifty dollars?
Several women stopped their previous discussions and hurriedly asked Tian Jing.
"What? You can use your mother's household registration and still spend a lot of money? This is enough to get a wife."
Mrs. Tian is even more anxious to get her household registration book.
Tian Jing kept changing her left and right hands, just to prevent her from grabbing it, "Dear aunts and sisters-in-law, the Tian family is rich now. You should have a suitable one at home. Take advantage of the opportunity and hurry up. Don't be left behind by raising the betrothal gifts or something like that.
It’s also possible.”
After finishing what needed to be said, Tian Jing gave the household registration book to Mrs. Tian, "Everyone saw that the household registration book was taken back to Mrs. Tian."
Then he ignored the women's questions and turned around with Li Zhengguo to walk out of the village.
The women looked outside the village and then at Mrs. Tian running towards the village. There must be something fishy here.
Did the Tian family marry Tian Jing to such a lame and old man just for money?
If it was for money, how much gift did Tian Ping ask for? Tian Ping was a very rich man, and Tian Jing and the Tian family seemed to be enemies.
Li Min was lying on the kang that day, as if his body was infested with fleas, tossing and turning, sitting up and lying down again.
Mother Li lost her temper, so she slowly moved the cooling bed and went out to bask in the sun. As the sun set, her son and daughter-in-law hadn't come back yet, so she became a little anxious.
After putting away the quilt on the bed, Mother Li went into the kitchen to cook.
She made noodles for lunch. Last night Tiantian said she would eat noodles tonight, but she thought that her son and daughter-in-law were tired from walking sixty or seventy miles back and forth, so she would eat noodles tomorrow.
She made some noodles and prepared steamed steamed buns. Steamed buns were also her son's favorite pasta, but she couldn't bear to eat the ones with all white flour, so she mixed them with black flour and cornmeal.
Moreover, the dough should be made from soft noodles and the noodles should be made from hard noodles, so she had to make the choice according to her ability.
She dissolved the alkaline water and was kneading the dough that had risen when she heard her son and daughter-in-law coming back. The dough was still sticky on her hands, so she walked out of the kitchen door and asked, "How was it?"
"It's done, eighty yuan, your son negotiated it."
Seeing the noodles sticking to her mother-in-law's hands, Tian Jing thought her mother-in-law was kneading the noodles, so she asked Li Zhengguo to go to the kitchen to help roll the noodles.
When I entered the kitchen, I saw that it was multi-grain dough. "Mother-in-law, are you planning to steam the steamed buns?"
"Yeah, Fudou noodles and I." Mother Li returned to the chopping board and continued to knead the lye water. She was anxious just now and ran out to talk before the lye water was kneaded. She didn't know if it could be kneaded evenly.
Alas, my daughter made me angry, and I became irritable.
"Then what food should we eat?"
"pickle."
Steamed buns, pickles and porridge?
The sweet potatoes have been cut into pieces in the stove. Needless to say, this is sweet potato porridge and steamed buns cooked in one pot.
"Mother-in-law, where is the key to the Westinghouse?"
"It's on the kangtang in the east room."
Tian Jing then entered the east room. Li Min in the east room was already so anxious that she wanted to get off the kang, "What did you say?"
"Ask your elder brother."
Tian Jing took the key and went to open the door to the west room. She could still see clearly inside the room. She was anxious to touch the brown sugar and go out. She wanted to eat the sugar triangle.
"What's wrong?" Li Min looked at the eldest brother who came in later, "Sister-in-law is angry?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Your sister-in-law prepared this number just to ensure that she can cancel the engagement for you."
Looking at the three fingers extended by his eldest brother, Li Min became anxious, "Does it really cost that much?"
"How is that possible? It only cost eighty yuan. However, Old Man Tian was unwilling to give in. Your sister-in-law wanted to transfer her household registration, but he extorted fifty yuan from her. Now the family still has a balance of nearly two hundred yuan."
"From now on, don't nag your sister-in-law because of money, and don't make assumptions about your sister-in-law. She went to the west room to get something in a hurry. Mom gave us steamed buns, pickles and porridge. Your sister-in-law must want to change the taste."
Li Min looked at her eldest brother and sighed, "Brother, I understand. As long as it's for my sister-in-law, you become very verbose."
"I don't care about you."
Li Zhengguo turned around and left the east room in a very good mood. He wanted to put away his household registration book. Tiantian was his wife. It was written in the household registration book.
Li Min was left confused. Is the person whose mouth was pulled to the base of her ear just now her eldest brother?
Tian Jing wants to wrap sugar triangles, and Li's mother has no objection, but if she only wraps a handful of them, will it be too sweet?
"Tiantian, add some flour to the brown sugar and mix it, otherwise it will be too sweet." Mother Li couldn't tell Tian Jing to add less sugar, so she could only say this.
"Okay." Tian Jing poured brown sugar into the bowl, then went to Westinghouse to add a quarter of the white flour with sugar and came back.
Mother Li looked at the sugar fillings that had not changed much, stopped talking, and wrapped two less sweet ones by herself, "I don't like to eat too sweet."
Tian Jing has no objection and speeds up.
Li Zhengguo had already consciously sat beside the stove.
When they tasted the sweet sugar triangle, both Li Zhengguo and Li Min narrowed their eyes. It was delicious and sweet.
Mother Li was very happy eating her two steamed buns which were only a little sweet. The days were getting sweeter and sweeter.
After finishing three sugar triangles in one breath, Li Min drank the porridge. "The porridge is not sweet."
Nonsense, can sweet potatoes be as sweet as brown sugar?
No one paid attention to her, and she continued to eat the sugar triangle with the unsweetened sweet potato porridge. After eating and drinking, she asked about her elder brother and sister-in-law's visit to Tian's house today.
Li Zhengguo went to wash the dishes and boil water. Tian Jing touched her belly. She was so full. She didn't want to talk, but there was a mother and daughter looking at her eagerly opposite.
