A Happy Farmhouse: After becoming the group's favorite, the whole family rises

With a huge sum of more than 200 taels of cash in his pocket, Tian Danian originally wanted to go home quickly to put the money away.

But Tian Xiaoman felt that since he had finally come to the county town and now had money, he should buy everything he needed for his family.

"Dad, think about it, if we bring back everything we need at home, Mom will be so happy to see all these good things!"

Unable to resist his little girl's urging, Tian Danian finally agreed. In fact, he also felt that what his little girl said made sense, so the father and daughter started shopping.

In the few days before coming, Tian Xiaoman had already walked around his house thoroughly.

Her parents' room, her eldest brother and third brother's room, her and her second sister's room, the family's storehouse and kitchen, nothing escaped her eyes.

In short, it is not an exaggeration to describe our family as penniless.

As for what is missing at home, it's all in Tian Xiaoman's mind.

The father and daughter wandered around the county town, and the more they walked, the more they realized that they were missing everything at home.

So, the father and daughter started shopping and had more and more things on them.

In the cloth shop, the father and daughter were speechless.

Why? I want to buy so many things that I don’t know where to start.

As autumn is coming, it’s time to prepare cotton clothes! I also need to add some fabrics, as well as needles and thread. I made several pairs of shoes a few days ago and used up a lot of thread. It seems that there is not much left at home.

In previous years, their family would pick up small items from large ones and alter them again and again for clothes and cotton-padded jackets.

Tian Xiaoman's winter cotton-padded jacket was the one that Tian Xiaochun had outgrown.

As for the person who has the same treatment as Tian Xiaoman, that is Tian Mutou. Most of Tian Mutou's clothes are picked up from Tian Shitou's smaller clothes.

As for Tian Danian and his wife, they have been mending and altering their clothes again and again, sewing and patching them for three years. The couple have not bought new clothes for many years.

Even today, the clothes that Tian Danian wore without patches were bought many years ago. Tian Danian was reluctant to wear them usually and would only change into them when he went out to do business.

In order to have a good winter this year, the family must prepare cotton fabrics and other things.

cotton?

You have to buy some. When you go out to do business, people will look at you with more respect if they see that you are well dressed.

coarse cloth?

Of course you have to buy some. Coarse cloth clothes can be used for work. They are practical and cheap.

Even some scraps of cloth left in the cloth shop were bought by Tian Xiaoman after he lowered the price.

Tian Danian wanted to persuade him, but other things didn't matter. What's the use of those scraps of cloth?

But seeing that his little girl was happy with the purchase, he swallowed back the words he was about to say.

Oh, spend it, as long as my daughter is happy!

"Dad, let's buy two backpacks. We bought a lot of things today, and they are convenient to carry. Besides, it's time to replace the two we have at home.

The two backpacks in their home, just like the clothes they wore at home, had already been patched up and could only be used as is.

Tian Danian: Okay, it seems like my opposition will have no effect, so let’s support it!

The father and daughter spent a lot of money in the grocery store.

Kosher salt?

Two pounds please!

granulated sugar?

Two pounds please!

A large coarse porcelain bowl?

Two dozen please!

Wooden barrel?

It’s a bit big and hard to hold, so just buy one.

Tian Danian secretly touched the place where he kept the silver bills. Alas, he didn't know how long he could keep the more than two hundred taels he had just received.

"Girl, it's almost time, let's go back!"

Tian Xiaoman, however, remained enthusiastic about shopping and smiled and shook her head.

"Dad, we have bought some of the things we need at home, but there are more important things to buy!"

Tian Xiaoman took his father directly into a jewelry store. When they entered, Tian Danian's calves were trembling.

To him, this place is a den of money, and nothing is cheap there.

When he married Wang, he bought her a silver-wrapped hairpin, which cost him nearly one or two taels of silver.

Now, after so many years, he has never bought any jewelry for Wang.

It's not that he doesn't want to buy it, but his family is really struggling financially and every penny has to be spent wisely.

"Dad, let's buy Mom a silver bracelet. She will definitely like it."

Tian Danian hesitated, "My daughter, how about we go back and discuss it with your mother?"

Silver bracelets are not cheap. Will my wife be happy if I spend so much money to buy her a bracelet?

I'm afraid they will be punished if they go back.

Tian Danian always felt that compared to the silver bracelet, his wife should like the silver bills and silver ingots in his pocket more.

"Dad, trust me. My mother will definitely be happy when you buy it back."

Tian Xiaoman talked a lot and made Tian Danian, who originally didn't want to buy it, very excited. He felt that if he didn't buy a silver bracelet for his wife today, he would be sorry for her efforts over the years.

After learning from the waiter, the two of them finally chose a heavy silver bracelet engraved with a pattern of a magpie climbing a branch, which looked beautiful and festive.

Seeing the little girl smiling so hard holding the silver bracelet, Tian Danian couldn't help but ask, "How about I buy one for you and Xiaochun?"

Tian Xiaoman waved her hands quickly. This silver bracelet cost nearly five taels of silver. Her father was generous and wanted to buy one for her and her second sister, but Tian Xiaoman felt that they were not at the point where they had to wear silver bracelets. It was not necessary to spend that money. It would not be too late to buy them when the family made more money in the future.

"Dad, I don't need it. How about you buy one for my second sister? But I think even if you buy one for her, she may not be willing to wear it. It would be better to buy her a head flower, which is more practical."

The silver shop also sells some ordinary hairbands and hair ornaments for girls. They are not expensive, only one hundred coins each, and the styles are much better than those sold on the street for a dozen coins each.

Finally, Tian Danian bought two more head flowers.

It was Tian Xiaoman who helped pick out the two red head flowers. The larger and more complex one was for Tian Xiaochun; the other one was simpler and more generous, which she picked for herself.

After coming out of the silver shop, Tian Xiaoman took Tian Danian to the meat stall and bought two strips of pork belly, a few large ribs, and a piece of lard.

When passing by the snack shop, Tian Xiaoman did not forget to drag her father into the snack shop and bought two pounds of red bean cakes, two pounds of mung bean cakes, and two pounds of peach cakes.

Watching his little girl buying things really makes Tian Danian's heart beat faster.

When paying the money, Tian Danian's hands were shaking.

At the same time, he was also sighing that it was only because he earned some money today, otherwise, with the way his little girl spent it, his family wealth would not be enough for her to cause trouble.

Tian Danian touched the banknotes in his pocket again. Oh, should he think of a way to earn more money?

Tian Xiaoman had long noticed Tian Danian's little tricks.

Tian Xiaoman was helpless. Dad, I just spent money lavishly today. Don't worry, the money is in your pocket and mom's pocket. I will definitely not spend it recklessly anymore. I am also a person who lives frugally, okay?

It was not until Tian Xiaoman and Tian Danian promised that they would not spend a penny today that Tian Danian finally let go of his worries.

He glanced furtively at the basket on his back and the things in his hands, and shook his head.

Even if the little girl wants to buy more, I’m afraid that neither she nor her father can carry it back.

Passing by an alley, Tian Danian stopped when he heard a strange noise.

Tian Xiaoman followed her father, and when she saw her father stop, she stopped too.

The father and daughter turned their heads at the same time and looked deep into the alley.

The alley was very deep. Although people were coming and going on the main road of the county town, the alley seemed to be silent with no one walking around. However, the sound was clearly audible to them.

"Girl, listen - is there someone shouting for help?"
