Chapter 51: Tian Xiangxiang 2
"That thing is not even meaty, and it's expensive. What a waste of money! We're not rich at home, now we even have to borrow money for the kid's tuition." Tian Biao shook his head. Pork ribs, pig big bones are all expensive now. People know that pork bones have calcium, eating them is nutritious, so the price has gone up compared to when he was a kid. When he was young, pork bones were sometimes even given away for free with meat purchases.
Tian Yuan didn't feel like listening to Tian Xiangxiang's nonsense, so she followed him into the kitchen. Li Shufen heard the noise and looked up to see Tian Yuan, asking, "It's hot in the kitchen, what are you doing here?"
"Listening to Auntie's words, I think it's better to come in and cook." Tian Yuan pouted, sat down by the stove, added some dry firewood to the fire, and said, "As soon as Auntie opens her mouth, she sounds like a wealthy landowner. She knows our family doesn't have money, but still says things that make people unhappy. When she comes in and starts talking, what she says is even more pleasant than singing. She's not unaware that Grandma didn't want to slaughter the chickens and ducks to nourish Father's body after childbirth. We only just divided the household, and there weren't any livestock to divide up. Now we can't take out anything to nourish Father's body either. If she really wanted to catch a chicken to nourish Father's body, would it matter how big the chicken is? Just listen to her talk, it's like music. This rooster will be caught after a while, and my name, Tian Yuan, will be written in reverse."
Li Shufen was speechless with laughter and tears at Tian Yuan's words. What kind of person is Tian Xiangxiang? She has been married for so long, how could she not know? But hearing it from her own 10-year-old daughter's mouth, she didn't know whether to laugh or advise Tian Yuan not to think that way.
"Mom, I didn't say anything wrong, why are you looking at me like that? Oh right, later can you give me two dollars? I need to return it to Aunt San. I told you last night, remember? When we went to the county town last time, I borrowed money from Aunt San for transportation costs first. She was afraid that Grandma would find out and asked me to keep it a secret."
Tian Wan thought of her mother-in-law in her heart, and suddenly said it out loud. Li Shufen didn't notice at first, but after a while, she responded by saying that she would give the money to Tian Wan later so that Tian Wan could thank San Shu properly.
"Yuan Yuan, don't you dare speak like that again, got it? If your grandma hears you, she'll scold you!"
"Mom, don't worry, I'll be mindful of my behavior in front of outsiders."
Because relatives have just arrived at home, there is still a lot of food at home, and the dinner was not bad. After Tian Xiangxiang finished eating, she went to find Tian Gui directly. She planned to stay here tonight and sleep with Tian Mei.
After dinner, Tian Yuan went to her elder brother Tian Xi's place to borrow a textbook for the first year of junior high school. The book was brought out by Tian Xi's nine-year-old sister Tian Huan. Seeing Tian Huan carrying out Tian Xi's books, Fang Shi kept calling out.
"Huan Huan, what are you doing with your brother's book? Your brother is in town attending junior high school and won't be back until the weekend. Don't touch his books."
"Mom, it's Yanyan who wants them, she says they're useful for borrowing. They're all Ge's first year of high school books, and he doesn't need them now." Tian Huan explained, directly handing the books to Tian Yanyan. "Yanyan, there are a lot of middle school books here, it's really not a small number. You say, after we enter middle school, how will we study? And that thing called English, every time I hear Ge mention it, he says good Chinese people should learn what foreign language, but I don't understand what he's saying."
"Yes, so exhausting in junior high school." Tian Yuan smiled and said a sentence to Fang Shi, then hugged the book and left under Fang Shi's reluctant gaze.
Actually, Tian Mu Chun's younger brother and his family are not very good at getting along with the older generation, but the three kids get along well with Tian Yuan. Tian Huan is about the same age as Tian Lu, so they play together a lot, and he also calls Tian Yuan "Yuan Yuan Jie" (a more affectionate term than just "older sister").
