Send me to the countryside? Turn around and make you homeless!

Sure enough, it was exactly as Tan Yuan expected when she saw Luo Linlin and Tian Cuiying again.

The two of them appeared in front of Tan Yuan again, being affectionate and affectionate as if there had never been any conflict.

How far their friendship can go and what it turns out to be has nothing to do with Tan Yuan, and she doesn't care.

Time is too tight and she has too many things to do now, so she has no time to take care of them.

Early in the morning, the team leader came to the registration point to find her and asked her to finish her work at the registration point and go directly to Zhao's house.

In fact, the team leader wanted to let Tan Yuan go directly to Zhao's house and hand over the registration work to someone else.

It’s just that others don’t know that Tan Yuan is now helping the brigade. If she really did that, others would gossip about her.

Tan Yuan put down the work points book, locked it in the cabinet, and then hurried to Zhao's house.

Last night at midnight, Old Man Zhao returned from the county carrying Zhao Xiaoliu on his back. His life was saved, but he had a fever for too long and his ears had problems, so he can't hear now.

The entire Zhao family was shrouded in a cloud of darkness, and they sat in the main room from midnight until dawn.

The county said that this ear might be able to be saved, but the county can't do anything about it, so I might have to go to the city.

The Zhao family couldn't even afford to go to the county for treatment, let alone the city.

Zhao Xiaoliu's ears were destined to be incurable, but he was only two years old. Thinking that her son would have to live like this for the rest of his life, unable to hear anything, Wu Yuhua felt a pain in her heart.

Not wanting to cry in front of her husband, father-in-law and children, she tried hard to hold back her tears. However, after returning to the room, her tears kept falling and she couldn't stop. In a short while, both of her eyes were swollen to the size of walnuts.

As soon as Wu Yuhua left, neither Old Man Zhao nor his son Zhao Wu spoke. Old Man Zhao, who seldom smoked, took out his hookah, which he hadn't used for a long time, and took puff after puff.

"Dad, I'm going to go find Uncle Qian next door and ask Jianguo to take care of me... We can't let this child be delayed like this."

If he pleaded with the brigade again, he would no longer work in the brigade. He would go to the county with Bian Jianguo to make a living. It would be hard-earned money, but he would still earn some money. After saving for three to five years, he could go to the city hospital.

Xiao Liuzi is still so young, how could he not hear...

"Grandpa, I won't go to school anymore. I'll go home to work. After work, I'll pick up cow dung and weave bamboo baskets!"

Zhao Delong has loved reading since he was a child. He knows that it is not easy for him to study. It is an opportunity that his family has obtained by saving money. Therefore, he cherishes it very much and his grades are among the best in the school.

But compared with my brother's ears, these are nothing. He is now in junior high school, which is a very high level of education for children in the village. Besides, he can't take the college entrance examination now, so it doesn't matter whether he continues to study or not.

As soon as he finished speaking, Old Man Zhao slammed the hookah in his hand to the ground, his chest heaving with anger.

"No, you must read this book!"

It would be fine for the other younger ones, but the eldest brother must continue studying. The family has already paid a lot for him to study and has high hopes for him. As long as he finishes high school, he will have the opportunity to run for village cadres and will be able to help his other brothers in the future.

As for these little ones, just think that as their grandfather, I am sorry for them.

"Brother, Grandpa is right. You must continue reading this book. Our family will depend on you in the future."

Zhao Dani stood up, her face full of determination.

"My elementary school classmate Lin Qiang has told me several times that he likes me. As long as I agree, he will immediately ask his family to come and propose marriage. Then... the betrothal gift will be used to treat Xiaoliu's illness."

Although Lin Qiang's family conditions are not particularly good, they are not bad either. The most important thing is that he likes her and is willing to pay a betrothal gift of six yuan. With these six yuan, no matter whether his younger brother's illness can be cured or not, his elder brother can go to school.

"What nonsense are you talking about! How old are you? Sit back down!"

Old Man Zhao's chest heaved even more violently. He had never been mean to Zhao Dani before, but this time he broke his promise.

"Grandpa, I beg you, please let me marry Lin Qiang!"

I don't know who Zhao Dani inherited her personality from, but she just knelt down straight, as if she wouldn't get up unless Old Man Zhao agreed.

"Grandpa, big brother, sister, please stop talking. Starting tomorrow, I'll go to the mountains to pick up cow dung, find herbs, and catch snakes. Big brother, you have to study. And sister, you don't like that Lin Qiang, so don't marry him. You won't be happy in the future."

Zhao Xiaosi yelled at everyone.

Zhao Dani pushed him and said, "Little kid, you don't know what you like or dislike. Just stay at home and mow the pig grass when you need to, and when you need to..."

"What are you doing at home? You don't even close the gate to the yard. Aren't you afraid of thieves breaking in?"

Just as the argument was getting intense, team leader Lin Guoan walked in from outside. He pretended that he knew nothing and saw nothing, and his eyes swept around the main room that was full of people.

"Why are you all kneeling? And Old Man Zhao, if you want to smoke your hookah, just smoke it. If you don't want to smoke, just put it away. Why are you throwing it on the ground?"

No matter how serious the family affairs are, they cannot be brought to the attention of outsiders. Old Man Zhao's serious expression softened a lot, and the kneeling children quickly stood up. Zhao Dani also picked up the hookahs that fell on the ground.

They all stood up and lined up aside. Zhao Wu forced himself to smile.

"Captain Lin, why are you here?"

"I came here specifically to find you. I have some great news, really great news. Where's your wife? Call her out."

Good things? Where could good things come from for the Zhao family now? It's fine they're already saddled with foreign debt, but now their child is in this state, and with the poor harvest this year, how could they possibly have good things happen to them?

But the captain is the captain after all, and his words must be obeyed. Since they want to find his wife, he nodded and went to call her.

"You all should get out too."

Since we have to talk about business, keeping these children in the house will only delay things.

The captain looked at the children in the room lining up and walking out of the main hall, all of them looking dejected, and he felt something was wrong.

Every household in the village is poor, and the poorer they are, the more they like to have children. One family has more children than the other. A family cannot hold itself up high if it does not have four, five, six, or seven children.

So the Zhao family does not have a lot of children. Moreover, these nine children are not all Zhao Wu's. Some of them are from the family of his deceased younger brother.
