The ordinary countryside has been reborn.

Chapter 120
night.

In the kitchen, while Li Mei was lighting the fire, she was discussing with Tian Zhi to postpone the matter of repairing the well.

The savings at home plus the donation from the garden left me with only 2000 yuan left. In the second half of the year, I will send my three children to study, and the tuition fee is still quite a bit short.

Tian Zhi said unhappily: "I have already said that there is no need to repair that thing, it is a waste of money."

There were only the two of them left in the kitchen.

Tian Yuan said that she wanted to read Tian Xiao’s textbooks, so she went to find Tian Xiao after dinner, and she followed Tian Yu, a little tail behind her. Tomorrow is Saturday, Tian Yu knew that Tian Xiao was back from school today, so she put down her job Just followed the countryside.When Tian Jing thought that after starting school in the second half of the year, she would not be as free as she is now. Now she runs out after finishing the family tasks arranged by Li Mei every day, as if she will lose money if she doesn't play now.

The children were not around, so Tian Zhi had no scruples about what to say. He said, "I don't think there is any need for Xiao Jing to go to school. She doesn't look like a person who can go to school. She knows how to run outside every day. There is no need for her to go to school. Tuition for high school students is not cheap."

It's these words again, I'm tired of hearing them.

Li Mei rolled her eyes at him: "You don't want to make money, but you just want to not send her to study. As a father, can you be of some use?"

Li Mei didn't dare to say this kind of thing before, she knew that the man had a stubborn mouth and wanted to save face.

In the past, most of the family's income was earned by Tian Zhi helping others to do coolies. He was really willing to work hard, and he would never say that he was tired in front of Li Mei when his shoulders were swollen and broken.So Li Mei would not bother with him about some of his minor problems. Even in the year Tian Jing dropped out of school, Tian Zhi said a lot of bad things, Li Mei only got angry with herself in the end.

The economy and status are changing, and there is a process of ebb and flow between husband and wife.

Tian Zhi didn't make any money in the past year, and he didn't dare to lose his temper when he was annoyed by Li Mei's words. He complained in his heart that Li Mei called Tian Jing back, and it's fine if he called her back, and now there is no shortage of her at home. Meal, but Li Mei wants to send her to study, isn't this nonsense.

"Girls of her age in other people's homes have already gone out to work and earn money, so why should they study?"

He said so, but in his mind he was thinking about where to find some work.He touched his position from time to time, and couldn't think of a way to make money for a long time.

There are so few ways to earn money, no wonder several families in the village have gone out to work.Tian Zhi gradually became irritable, and sighed a little resignedly, staring at the beam with dull eyes.

When Tianyuan came back, the two were still sitting by the fire pit.

Seeing that they all looked bad, Tian Yuan moved a chair and sat over, and asked, "Mom and Dad, what's the matter, what are you bothering about?"

"It's nothing. If you're fine, go to bed early." Li Mei remained expressionless, as if she didn't want to say more.

"It's okay, you will be like this?" Tian Yuan turned to look at Tian Zhi, anyway, it was either a matter of the village or a matter of the family.

"Dad, did you say something at the village meeting yesterday?"

Tian Zhi liked to talk to Tian Yuan, and he said cheerfully, "There is nothing wrong with the meeting, but recently some people in the village cut down a lot of trees, and they were dragged over by the village leaders to criticize and educate them."

Tian Yuan snorted, probably knowing what the two of them were bothering about.

She said directly to Li Mei, "Mom, don't worry about the tuition fee. My novel earns a little every month, and I will definitely earn more when I write the second book."

In order to appease Li Mei, Tianyuan boasted to Haikou without changing his face, and said whether it will be successful or not, anyway, she can handle the tuition fees.

Li Mei didn't quite believe her.

She only earned more than 1000 yuan for a book for more than half a year, which is not enough for tuition. She looked at Tianyuan with helpless eyes.Unexpectedly, Tian Yuan, who has always been honest, also started to brag. She really deserves to be Tian Zhi's daughter.

There is a monthly holiday in high school, and many students come to study from far away villages, and it is inconvenient to go back and forth, so the school has a holiday once a month, seven days at a time, and it will increase when there are holidays.

Six days of this monthly vacation have passed, Tianyuan spends these two days writing novels except for studying with Tian Xiao for a while.Since Tian Jing came back, Tianyuan has done less housework, she only needs to wash the dishes, Tian Yu is responsible for sweeping the floor, and Tian Jing is responsible for everything else.

Li Mei said to Tian Jing like this, "You don't need to do all this, why don't you go to study?"

Tian Jing said sternly: "I'm afraid you are working too hard, I want to help you." In order not to study, she is willing to work.

What they tried their best to give, Tian Jing didn't really want it anymore.

Many people in the village quit junior high school, mostly because their families cannot afford to send them to high school, and their children's grades are not good, so there are even more reasons not to send them to high school.Some children don't like to study, and not having to go to school is liberating for them; but there are also those who want to study, but their families can't afford it, and they have no choice but to compromise.

Like Tian Jing, it is rare in the village that she doesn't want to go if she wants to send it home.

Tian Yuan was going back to school in the afternoon. She was sorting out the manuscripts she had written in the past few days, when the cell phone rang suddenly in the bedroom.

Li Mei is not used to going out with her mobile phone. She usually keeps her mobile phone at home. It is not like a mobile phone, but more like the landline of Grandma Liu's house next door.

"Hello? Who is it?" Tian Yuan answered the phone directly.

"Boss Tian is so forgetful, I just saved my number a few days ago, and now I don't remember it?" Fang Mingjun came over with a three-point teasing voice.

Tian Yuan glanced at the phone screen, "Sorry, I didn't pay attention just now, why are you looking for me?"

……

Tian Jing still made the lunch at noon. She was quick to do things. She went out to play for a while after finishing her work in the morning, and finished the lunch before Tian Zhi went home.Tian Yu is also going back to school in the afternoon, and Tian Jing also prepared dishes for her to take to school, and just put them in her schoolbag when she leaves.

The two adults talked about the affairs in the field while eating, and Tian Yuan told Li Mei about Fang Mingjun's call after eating.

Hearing that there was finally work to be done, Li Mei was so happy that she didn't even go to sleep in the afternoon, so she wanted to inform her younger sisters Li Juan and Wang Li immediately.

Li Mei stepped out of the threshold with both feet, and Tian Yuan caught up with her with her mobile phone: "Mom, you should keep your mobile phone with you so that it is convenient for you to answer the phone."

Li Mei didn't have time to talk to her, so she took the phone and left. It didn't take long before Tian Yuan heard Li Mei calling Wang Li, and then the two of them laughed haha. You could feel the love between the two from the sound. happy.

Tianyuan smiled and walked up the steps.The pear blossoms in front of me are eye-catching, and the whole tree is covered with pure white pear blossoms.

The pear tree is planted at the edge of the vegetable garden. The left side is the bamboo fence of the vegetable garden. The right side of the tree is empty. Less than three meters down is the vegetable garden of Grandma Liu’s next door. The vegetable garden is about 50 square meters, and it is also planted next to the garden. There are no fruit trees, but jujube trees and orange trees, which have not bloomed yet, and only have tender green leaves.

Standing here, she can see the main room of Grandma Liu's house, Tian Yu and Liu Fang are playing in the main room; she can see people busy plowing the fields in the fields, and several children playing on the side of the road.
