That's why she didn't want Tian Baobao and the others to come in. She had just cleaned up the house this morning to get rid of the smell!
However, since Tian Tian had opened the door for them, she would not dwell on this matter any longer.
She closed the door, and thinking that she had already gotten off the kang, she added some more firewood sticks into the stove, then took off her shoes and got on the kang.
Tian Baobao handed Tian Tian a piece of newspaper. It was left over from when they were pasting paper on the wall, and there were only a few pieces left.
Originally, Mrs. Tian wanted to keep the newspapers to start a fire, but Tian Baobao wanted to play, so Mrs. Tian gave all the newspapers to Tian Baobao.
When it comes to these trivial matters, Old Mrs. Tian is still very open-minded.
Tian Tian accompanied Tian Baobao and the others to fold several pieces of cake. The two of them played cake while they were playing. When the house was filled with the faint aroma of meat, Tian Baobao and Tian Zhuotai shouted excitedly, and ran to the kitchen with their shoes on to ask for delicious food, forgetting even to close the door.
Tian Tian looked at the creaking door, sighed helplessly, and went downstairs to close the door. She had been in the house for a long time and didn't think the urine smell was that bad anymore.
Not long after, the two of them came back in a hurry and stood outside the door, calling Tian Tian, "Sister! Open the door for me! I'll bring you some delicious food!"
Tian Zhuo also shouted along with Tian Baobao, "Sister, open the door quickly!"
Tian Tian, whose butt had just touched the kang, had to go and open the door for them. She saw that each of them held a small sauce dish with a few pig's trotters and fried meatballs in their hands.
When Tian Baobao and the others saw the door open, they ran in again, put the sauce dish on the kang, and then climbed up themselves.
"Sister! Come and eat! This is specially brought to us by Auntie, so that we can listen to you carefully." Tian Baobao waved at Tian Tian.
Without chopsticks, Tian Tian went over, grabbed a small piece of pig's trotter with her hands, and took a bite.
The pig's trotters are stewed in plain water with only some green onions and ginger added to remove the fishy smell. It is not salty at all.
But this is a native pig raised in the countryside, the meat itself is very fragrant, and it is stewed for a sufficient amount of time, so it is very soft, glutinous and chewy.
Tian Tian took a bite. To be honest, she wanted to eat more, but the sauce dish was not big and there were not many pieces of meat in it. She didn't want to snatch the food from the two children, so she went to the side and got a fried meatball to eat. After she finished eating, she didn't touch it again.
After Tian Baobao and Tian Zhuo finished eating the remaining pig's trotters and fried meatballs, they wanted to pat their stomachs with satisfaction.
Tian Tian quickly grabbed their hands, and used a towel beside her to wipe their greasy hands and mouths, and then let them go to play.
I took four sauce dishes to the kitchen and wanted to wash them clean.
As a result, everyone in the family except the three children was in the kitchen, some were killing chickens, some were stewing meat, some were making fire, and the small kitchen was packed with people.
The kitchen was filled with hot air from the fire, and not even a single person could be seen.
Chen Guihua came to the water tank at the door to get some water. When she looked up, she saw Tian Tian peeking out from here. She took the time out of her busy schedule to ask, "Tian Tian, what are you doing here? Go and keep an eye on your two brothers and don't let them make any trouble.
"Second Auntie!" Tian Tian raised the two small sauce dishes in her hands, "I want to wash this, can you scoop some hot water for me?"
Chen Guihua looked carefully and saw two small sauce dishes the size of a palm in Tian Tian's hands. "I thought it was something else, but you don't need to get your hands dirty with something this small. I'll just wash it. You can go out and play."
Having said that, he took the two small sauce dishes from Tian Tian's hands and didn't have time to say anything else to Tian Tian.
Seeing that they were so busy, Tian Tian went back to play with Tian Baobao and Tian Zhuo.
They were busy until the afternoon, and Liu Meiyu came over and called Tian Tian and the others to come over for dinner.
After dinner, they were not busy this time. Old Mrs. Tian was sleeping in the east room. Tian Lisong got out a deck of cards from somewhere and sat on the warm kang in the west room to play cards. Tian Tian and the others were also on the kang watching the fun. The family was so crowded that they couldn't even stretch their legs straight.
They played poker for the entire afternoon, and a lot of melon seed shells were left on the ground. When it was getting dark, Tian Tian went out to the toilet and saw that smoke was coming out of other people's chimneys.
I know they should start preparing things for the New Year's Eve dinner. They have prepared everything for the dinner in the morning, and there is even chicken stewing in the pot.
A gust of cold wind blew over, and Tian Tian shivered. She hurried to take care of her urgent need, and then ran back to the warm kang.
I waited until it got dark at night and the hour hand on the clock pointed to nine.
Lin Meiyu glanced at the time and said, "Let's stop playing poker now. It's already nine o'clock. I need to make dumplings and cook."
Tian Tian yawned, feeling very sleepy.
I watched them quickly finish the game of poker, clean up the table, and then disperse to prepare the New Year’s Eve dinner and make dumplings.
Tian Baobao and Tian Zhuo, who were standing nearby, had already been sleeping soundly in strange positions on the kang.
When everyone went to work, the space on the kang became larger, and at least Tian Tian could stretch her legs straight.
"You should take a nap too. I'll call you when it's time for dinner." Lin Meiyu said to Tian Tian.
Today is New Year's Eve, and everyone has to stay up all night. The earliest they can go to bed is after midnight. She is worried that Tian Tian can't hold on.
Tian Tian really couldn't hold on any longer. She didn't sleep well last night, and she didn't get any sleep at noon today while looking after the kids. She was even more excited watching them play poker in the afternoon. Now she was so sleepy that she could hardly open her eyes.
Hearing Lin Meiyu's words, she nodded, rested her head on the pillow that Li Meiyu brought for her, closed her eyes and fell asleep. She could vaguely feel Lin Meiyu holding Tian Zhuo and Tian Baobao to her side, and taking a small quilt to cover the three of them.
Seeing Tiantian close her eyes and fall asleep, Lin Meiyu picked up Tian Zhuo and Tian Baobao, who were sleeping in a strange shape, and put them next to Tiantian.
While holding Tian Baobao, Lin Meiyu held her breath very skillfully, and only dared to take a breath after gently putting Tian Baobao down.
As a result, when she picked up Tian Zhuo, she faintly smelled a smell of urine. Before she could smell it carefully, she heard the voice of Old Lady Tian talking about Chen Guihua. She quickly put Tian Zhuo down, took a small quilt to cover the three children, and hurried to work.
