Life should look forward

  Up to now, Ling Xu and Wen Xuan are the ones who have interacted with Liang Tian Tian the most. To be honest, I've been struggling to decide who should be the male lead. Both of these characters were set up by me and I really like them, but unfortunately, I don't want to write an NTR or PWP story yet, it's so frustrating

  Friends have good advice can be proposed oh.

  And there's also a spare tire waiting to come on stage, really many men indeed.

  Start a brand new day, good morning everyone.

  At the end of October, Lao Lang Cave welcomed its first snow.

  They had collected a lot of firewood long ago. The four siblings, Liang Tian and his sisters, were waiting on the kang, each leaning against the window to watch the snow outside.

  "What a pity, can't continue picking mushrooms." Liang Mantou suddenly sighed.

  Liáng Tián tián was sitting on the kang mending a garment that belonged to Qiú Qiú.

  "We now have over 300 silver coins, and the rice and flour at home are almost enough to eat for a winter. Second brother, don't worry." Liang Tian Tian smiled sweetly. The vegetables in the space had also grown up, and she planned to eat some today. However, how to eat them seemed to require an excuse.

  "I'm not worried about the winter. I just thought that suddenly there's nothing to do." These days, they siblings have all adapted to this fast-paced life, and suddenly having free time is a bit uncomfortable.

  Only Qiuqiu was the happiest, his brother and sister all stayed at home to accompany him, finally not having to go to Aunt Chrysanthemum's house. It wasn't that he didn't like Aunt Chrysanthemum's house, it's just that his sister told him to behave, he felt unhappy playing there.

  "Auntie has finished making clothes." Qiuqiu said suddenly.

  Liang Tian's eyes sparkled as she suddenly reacted, realizing that Qiuqiu was referring to those cotton-padded jackets. Her heart skipped a beat, and she found an excuse to eat those small dishes.

  Carrying a basket, Liang Tiantian packed some dried mushrooms in the space and said: "Big brother, second brother, I'll go to Aunt Chrysanthemum's house and take a look at our cotton-padded clothes."

  "Little sister, wear more clothes and be careful not to catch a chill." Liang Man Cang's advice was very brotherly.

  Liáng Tián nodded to show he understood.

  Wrapped in a piece of flower cloth, Liang Tian Tian walked with his head down towards Aunt Chrysanthemum's house.

  It's snowing heavily outside and you can hardly see anyone. The village is quiet, with only occasional barking of dogs.

  Liang Tian pushed open the small gate of Aunt Chrysanthemum's courtyard, and suddenly a pungent medicinal smell wafted out.

  "Chrysanthemum Aunt." Liang Tian Tian knocked on the door. She wasn't quite used to pushing the door open and entering.

  "It's Tian Tian Ba, the door is unlocked, come in quickly." Chrysanthemum Aunt was decocting medicine in the outer room and saw her coming in, saying: "How did you come on such a snowy day?"

  "Auntie, it's nothing. I've brought some mushrooms for you and thought I'd check on the quilt while I'm at it." Liang Tian Tian put down the basket. "Auntie, who's ill?"

  "Tiantian, my grandmother is ill again." Xiaohua came out of the house and sighed: "It's cold, grandma got sick, it's been several days already."

  Liáng Tián still didn't know about this matter, these past few days the weather has been cooling down, they also haven't gone to play basketball.

  Grandma Chen was ill, and Liang Tian Tian reached into the basket, where a piece of pork about one catty was added under the flower cloth cover, which she directly took out from her space.

  "Hey Tian, your family doesn't have much stuff either, don't send any more over here." Chrysanthemum Aunt poured out the medicine, wiped her hands and said: "That quilt has been made for a while now, I was planning to bring it over this afternoon when the snow clears up." She took one look at Tian's coarse stitching on his shoes and knew he had sewn them himself. She said: "Now that winter is here, Tian, you should come over whenever you're free, Aunt will teach you how to do needlework. You need to learn how to make shoes and clothes too. It'll be useful when you get married in the future."

  Chrysanthemum Auntie really didn't treat Liang Tian Tian as an outsider and truly had her best interests at heart.

  Liáng Tián's demeanor was very open and forthright, without the usual shyness of girls. "Thank you, Auntie, I'll come over in a couple of days." Girls these days are almost all like this, not bad at all; her skills except for sewing seem to be quite poor, she should learn more.

  Liang Tian sat on the edge of the kang, looking at Chen Nainai who was sleeping soundly on the kang, and suddenly said: "How did Chen Nainai suddenly fall ill?" She was fine just a few days ago.

  Chrysanthemum Aunt sighed and said in a low voice: "Mother, get up and take your medicine."

  Xiao Hua pulled Liang Tian to one side and whispered, "The other day was the anniversary of my father's death, and grandma...". As she spoke, her eyes also turned red. Their family used to live a good life, but after Father passed away, things became difficult.

  Liang Tian's expression changed suddenly, no wonder. Old Lady Chen is suffering from a heart problem.

  Grandma Chen took her medicine and seems to have perked up a bit.

  "Tiantian is here. It's cold outside, you should wear more clothes." The voice was hoarse. Rarely did the old man think of Liang Tiantian and his siblings even when he himself was ill. "The cotton-padded jackets were made a few days ago, hurry up and put them on, don't catch a chill." The old man said with his eyes closed.

  Liáng Tián tiān sat down and held the old man's hand, softly saying: "Aunt Chen, you also need to take care of your body. At home, there is still Aunt Huāhuā, and Xiǎo Huā hasn't gotten married yet. You still have a chance to hold your great-grandchild, you can't fall ill first." She was advising the old man to look forward. The people who are gone will never come back, one should take care of those in front of them instead.

  The old man's hand moved slightly and he suddenly let out a sigh.

  "Ah, girl, don't think that just because Old Lady Chen has lost her sight, she's also lost her heart. I'm thinking of things." The old woman covered her chest, and a line of clear tears appeared in her cloudy old eyes.

  "Daughter." Chrysanthemum Aunt called out softly and also wiped away her tears.

  What did you say?

  It's all right and yet you still cry about it.

  Liang Tian's head suddenly became big.

  Xiao Hua is a gentle girl, just when Liang Tian thought she would also cry, Xiao Hua said: "Grandma, mother, even if you cry, father won't come back. Instead of crying here, it's better to think about how to spend this winter." Their family doesn't have the same way of making money as Liang Tian's, and whether they can get through the long winter is still a problem.

  Xiao Hua's words made Liang Tian Tian's eyes widen in surprise.

  Can't you see it? Xiaohua also has this bold and uninhibited side.

  "Chrysanthemum aunt loudly scolded, 'Xiaohua, how can you talk to grandma like that? Quickly apologize.' Although she was a widow, she had always been filial to her mother-in-law. If Xiaohua behaved this way and it got out, people would say she hadn't educated her well."

  Mrs. Chen wiped her eyes and pulled her daughter-in-law's hand, saying, "Don't blame Xiaohua, she's right." Mrs. Chen struggled to get up, "It's been so long since Flower's father passed away, I can't stay like this forever, I have to think about the living."

  "Mother..." Chrysanthemum Aunt choked with emotion and couldn't speak. The two mothers held each other's hands tightly.

  Liáng Tián tián watched from the side, it's already a rarity for mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law to get along like them.

  When Liang Tian Tian came out of Aunt Chrysanthemum's house, the snow outside had cleared up.

  Liáng Tián tiān held a basket in one hand, inside which were pickled black mushrooms and dried radish.

  Another one was holding a big bundle, which were the cotton-padded jackets of the four siblings.

  There were few people on the road, Liang Tian Tian found a secluded place and entered the space, picking out some fresh vegetables.

  Back home, Liang Man Cang had already prepared dinner.

  In winter days are short, Liang Tian and his family also started eating two meals a day like the rest of the village.

  Liáng Tián Tián sent the cotton-padded jacket into the house, letting everyone try it on, and took over the cooking duties herself. The children all knew she had gone to Aunt Chrysanthemum's house, so no one asked about the fresh dishes she brought back, which made Liáng Tián Tián feel a little bit disappointed, having prepared her excuses early in the morning.
