Chapter 10 Mom Had Changed

Tang Xing was standing at the door with sleepy eyes, yawning and looking at them with a smirk.

At first, she asked her mother how she and her sister got here.

Her mother said that the two sisters were brought back by her from the river.

When she said this to her friends, her friends laughed at her; Only then did she realize that the child was born of a married couple.

Then, she asked directly.

Her words scared Tang Yue and Li Jianning.

"You are just a kid. What nonsense are you talking about!"

Blushing, Tang Yue quickly walked up to Tang Xing, took her hand, and led her into the house.

"Go, it's only six o'clock. Why do you get up so early?"

"I am a little thirsty. I asked Tang Xing to get me some water..."

Lying in the quilt, Tian Lanfang curled up into a ball. She gasped and spat out a white breath as she spoke.

The Kangtou had long been cold, and her body was cold. Fortunately, it was still a little hot under the quilt.

She couldn't wait to hide her head under the quilt.

"Mom, do you feel better?"

Tang Xing came over with a tea bowl and carefully put it beside her mother's pillow.

"My good daughter, I'm much better..."

Tian Lanfang poked her head out of the quilt. She took the tea bowl, took a sip, and drank it in one gulp.

"It's too cold. It would be great if there was heating... Yueyue, Xingxing, I'll work hard to make money. Let's move to the city..."

Tian Lanfang struggled to get up from the bed. She gasped and quickly put on the thick cotton-padded jacket and pants.

"These clothes are stupid, heavy, and not resistant..."

Tian Lanfang was mumbling when she suddenly stopped as if she had realized something; She hurriedly looked up at Tang Yue and Tang Xing, who were standing in front of the Kangtou.

"I mean, we farmers don't have a good life. On TV, everyone in the city wears bread suits, which are light and warm!"

"I should work hard to earn money so that we can live a good life in the city!"

As Tian Lanfang spoke, she dragged her cotton-padded shoes and walked out.

Tang Yue was more and more sure that her mother was a reborn person.

In her impression, her mother was like an old scalper that was willing to work hard without complaint.

She only worked hard. Not only did she not pay much attention to food and clothing, but she also didn't even complain.

Although Tian Lanfang didn't care much about her clothes, her clothes and hat were neat and tidy. Although her clothes were worn out, they were still clean. She wouldn't put on a cotton jacket, lift her pants, drag her cotton shoes with her feet, and walk towards the toilet in the yard in a panic when she knew that her future son-in-law was still at home.

There was no TV at home, and she was not willing to gossip. How could she know that bread suits were warm and light? How could she know that living in a heating room was comfortable.

Although Tang Yue was confused, she had to try her best to control her emotions so that her sister, Tang Xing, would not notice anything.

Just took her time to observe.

Hearing the noise in the room, Li Jianning knew that the whole family had gotten up, so his movements were a little louder.

"Yueyue, why did you let Jianning do it alone... Go and help Jianning!"

Tian Lanfang put on a cotton-padded jacket and trotted all the way from the outside. She raised her hands and kept blowing hot air at them.

She turned around and ran back to the quilt at the Kangtou. She was trembling from the cold.

Tang Yue was even more certain that her mother had changed.

Tian Lanfang was diligent and capable. And she had always been the first one to get up from bed; On the first day of the New Year, they made dumplings, worshipped the God of Wealth and their ancestors, and had a lot of things to do.

According to tradition, they had to pay New Year's respects to their relatives. Tian Lanfang always helped the sisters dress up well.

Answering that, Tang Yue turned around and walked toward the kitchen.

Li Jianning was indeed from the army. He always did things in a rigid manner.

The dumplings were of the same size, and even the folds were exactly the same, as if they were produced from a assembly line.

Rows of big-bellied dumplings were neatly placed on the curtain, like soldiers waiting for inspection.

Just a glance was enough to make people happy.

Tang Yue couldn't help laughing out loud.

She was originally good-looking, but when she smiled, two cute dimples appeared on her cheeks, which made her look even more charming. It was not an exaggeration to say that she was more delicate than flowers.

Li Jianning was dumbfounded when he looked up and saw such a delicate and beautiful Tang Yue.

He suspected that he was dreaming. How could he really get together with her? Tang Yue was a famous beauty in the countryside!

He stood there in a daze and looked at her smiling face in disbelief.

"You're really capable, Jianning..."

She stepped forward, put her arms around the neck of Li Jianning, and whispered in his ear.

She kept moving. When she got close to his ear and spoke, she rubbed her cheek against his cold face. At the same time, she reached out her hands and lovingly touched his cold earlobes.

He couldn't help but tremble, and all the blood in his body rushed to his head; There seemed to be a rabbit hidden in his chest, which kept pounding.

He had been longing to marry her day and night!

Soon, he calmed down.

Even if Tang Yue really wanted to live with him, it was not appropriate for them to be so intimate.

After all, there was someone else at home.

Tang Xing didn't keep her mouth shut. If this matter got out, how could the gossiping women in the village let Tang Yue off?

Moreover, Tian Lanfang was famous for being feudal and conservative.

In the dog days, even if it was hot, she never wore a pair of cool shorts, and she had never tied up her short hair.

She was too embarrassed to reveal her slender and straight calves. Her skin was really too fair, forming a stark contrast with the gray and rough appearance of the women in the village. It was too easy to provoke gossip.

She said that as a woman who had given birth to children, how could she tie her hair like a little girl?

There were no women in the village so particular. As soon as summer arrived, they simply shaved their hair into the shape of a cabbage gang, cut off half of their broken pants, and directly changed the pants into pairs of tasteless shorts. They didn't even bother to button up their shirts. With a sway, their white chest could be seen.

Not only was Tian Lanfang dressed conservatively, but her words and actions were also very conservative.

Even if she went to the field with her husband Tang Youde, she had always followed him from a distance. She had never talked and laughed with those shrews in the village or her man.

Because of this, she had often been scolded by Tang Youde, who said that she was a piece of dead wood.

Li Jianning hurriedly glanced in the direction of the pot house.

A rustling sound came from the other side. Li Jianning hurriedly took down Tang Yue's arms and subconsciously took a few steps back, deliberately keeping a distance from Tang Yue.
