The Snail Spirit Travels to the 1970s

The more Tian Tian helped, the angrier she became. Her mother really didn't enjoy much happiness, and suffered the most hardship and fatigue.

Whenever her aunt and her younger aunt worked for a while, they would be called over by Grandpa Lin to talk for a while. They could also take the opportunity to drink some water, eat something, cool down, etc. But her mother has been buried in the kitchen since Tian Tian came this morning and has hardly had time to go out for a breath of fresh air.

If Tian Tian could help, Lin Meiyu could feel more relaxed. When Lin Meiyu was cooking, Tian Tian would help cut the vegetables. When the firewood was burned out, Tian Tian would help light the fire.

Tian Zhuo can also help Lin Meiyu serve dishes outside, set the table and prepare dishes and so on.

By the time they finished their work, it was already past three in the afternoon. Tian Tian hadn't taken a single break the entire day.

While waiting to send away those who came to help, Tian Tian almost fainted.

But she couldn't rest yet, she still had to help collect all the dishes and wash them, clean up the leftovers on the table, and wipe the table clean.

She didn't dare to delay and immediately took all the things on the table down.

The leftovers in the bowl were temporarily poured into a bucket, then placed in a large basin and poured with several buckets of water.

Tian Tian sat nearby, with a basket of wood ash beside her, holding the ash in one hand and bowls and plates in the other.

After waiting for Lin Meiyu to clean the table, she sat next to Tian Tian and reached out to wash the dishes.

"I'll wash these, you don't have to. It's getting late, and if you and Tian Zhuo don't leave now, you'll miss the last bus."

Tian Tian is now worried about both Lin Meiyu and An An.

An An looks for her before going to bed at night. If she is not there, it is difficult for An An to fall asleep. Old Mrs. Tian can't stand the noise, but there is so much work to do here, and she doesn't want Lin Meiyu to do it alone.

"If it really doesn't work, I will take a bus back first, and then let Tian Zhuo help you here. Tian Zhuo will come back with you tomorrow." Tian Tian said.

In fact, she was a little worried that Lin Meiyu would be bullied in the Lin family. After all, today she experienced what the moody Grandpa Lin was like.

Lin Meiyu shook her head. "No, your dad is with me. I don't feel comfortable with you going home alone. Besides, things here can't be solved in a day or two. I'm afraid we'll have to stay here for a few more days."

Seeing that Lin Meiyu insisted, Tian Tian didn't say anything, but quickened the pace of helping Lin Meiyu wash the dishes. As long as she could wash one more bowl, Lin Meiyu could wash one less bowl.

At four o'clock, Tian Tian and Tian Zhuo packed up and prepared to catch the bus. When Grandpa Lin found out, he started cursing again. Before, he was afraid that the people who came to help would know, so he spoke in a low voice. Now that everyone had left, Grandpa Lin was not afraid of letting others know. He said in a strong voice that Tian Tian had no conscience and that she didn't shed a tear when grandma left, and that she was an ungrateful person.

Tian Tian pretended not to hear and took Tian Zhuo away.

Tian Zhuo was very angry after hearing what Grandpa Lin said. He went back to argue, but Tian Tian stopped him. "The more you go back, the more fiercely he will scold you. If you are still angry, just pretend that you didn't hear anything. He will be sulking by himself then."

"But then grandpa will vent his anger on mom." Tian Zhuo said gloomily.

"He doesn't dare to go too far now." Tian Tian said, "He is still counting on our mother to take care of him in his old age."

Now Grandpa Lin is old and Grandma Lin has passed away. Among the three children, the eldest daughter Lin Meishuang's family still owes money. Although the third daughter Lin Meixia does not owe money, her family is just an ordinary family and cannot afford to support her life. Or they can afford it, but it is just an ordinary life.

Only the second daughter, Lin Meiyu's family, has good living conditions. She has three children, all of whom are college students and now all have jobs. Regardless of whether Grandpa Lin will live in this house in the future, he will definitely not continue to treat her the same way he treated Lin Meiyu before.

Anyway, Lin Meiyu will not suffer any loss. She will do what she should do, but she is not a sucker. Besides, Tian Lisong is there, so Tian Tian doesn't have to worry. She is more worried about Old Lady Tian and An An at home.

Tian Tian and the others got on the bus smoothly. Tian Tian was so tired after the whole day that she didn't care about motion sickness. She leaned against the window and fell asleep as soon as she got on the bus. It was Tian Zhuo who woke her up when they got off the bus.

Tian Tian opened her eyes in confusion and saw that they had arrived at the entrance of their brigade. After getting off the bus with Tian Zhuo, she hurried home.

Before she even entered the house, Tian Tian heard An An crying loudly, so she quickly ran into the house.

"What's wrong with An An?" Tian Tian asked anxiously. She ran into the house and saw An An sitting on the kang crying loudly, with Old Mrs. Tian next to her coaxing An An.

Seeing Tian Tian coming back, Old Lady Tian breathed a sigh of relief, and almost couldn't wait to put An An into Tian Tian's hands, "You're finally back. I haven't seen you all day today. Now it's getting dark, and you're nowhere to be seen, so I started crying."

"Mom!" An An stretched out her little hands and hugged Tian Tian with tears in her eyes.

"What's wrong, baby? Do you miss your mother?" Tian Tian hugged An An in her arms and coaxed her.

Although An An could stay in the nursery all day before, she would start looking for Tian Tian as soon as it got dark every day. This had become a habit for her. Tian Tian did come back a little late today, so it was normal for An An to feel uneasy when she didn't see anyone familiar.

Tian Tian was too tired today and couldn't hold An An, so she simply sat on the kang and held An An in her arms. An An smelled the familiar scent and felt at ease in Tian Tian's arms, no longer crying like before.

"Grandma, have you eaten?" Tian Tian asked.

She was extremely hungry now. She hadn't eaten much all day and had no time to eat lunch, so she could only stuff some food into her mouth.

After Tian Tian finished washing the dishes in the evening, it was already late and she was in a hurry to catch the bus home, so she didn't eat. She just stuffed a sausage into her mouth, which was not enough for the energy she had consumed that day. She was now starving.

"We haven't eaten yet." said Old Mrs. Tian.

Just as she was about to cook, An An started crying. In the end, she had no choice but to coax An An in this room. At first, she thought that Tian Tian and the others would not be able to come back at this time, and she was worried that if Tian Tian did not come back, she coaxed An An like this. Fortunately, Tian Tian and Tian Zhuo came back.

"Then I'll go make something to eat." Tian Tian wanted to put An An on the kang and go to the kitchen to cook.
