Tian Baobao is already eight years old this year and knows a lot of things. Tian Tian felt a little embarrassed when she heard him say that, so she coughed twice and changed the subject.
"It's so cold outside, let's go home quickly." Tian Tian didn't want to eavesdrop on their conversation in front of her brother, so she had to pull Tian Baobao home.
After returning home, Tian Zhuo kept complaining about being hungry. Tian Tian looked at the clock and it was almost three o'clock. In the past, people would finish their meals at this time, but now the meals had not been prepared yet. She thought about cooking the meals first so that they could have food as soon as Old Lady Tian and the others came back. Now she asked Tian Zhuo to roast some sweet potatoes to fill their stomachs.
Who knew that Tian Baobao went to the east room, took out three pieces of peach cakes, gave one to Tian Tian and Tian Zhuo respectively, and ate one piece himself.
"Where did the peach cakes come from?" Tian Tian asked.
"My aunt came to grandma's house yesterday and brought it. She also brought a can of malted milk. But grandma didn't open the malted milk and I didn't dare to touch it, so I only took three pieces of peach cakes. Let's eat this to fill our stomachs first, and I'll help you light the fire later." Tian Baobao said while chewing on the peach cake.
Tian Zhuo had something delicious to eat, so he stopped making trouble and obediently took the peach cake and ate it bite by bite.
Tian Tian was also a little hungry, so she took a big bite of the peach pastry.
While eating, she was thinking about Tian Lijuan. She had been here for several months, but had never met Tian Lijuan properly.
The last time Tian Lijuan came, she was bringing her medicine. She was running a high fever at that time and didn't see Tian Lijuan. She only heard Tian Lijuan and Lin Meiyu chatting. Her voices were fast and crisp, like machine guns, and you could tell that she was a person with a quick mind.
Although she could see Tian Lijuan from the original owner's memory, that was not her after all. Tian Tian still wanted to see Tian Lijuan again. Moreover, from her memory, her two cousins were very nice people, very beautiful, and spoke softly. The original owner also had a very good relationship with them.
Tian Tian also wants to be good friends with them.
As a result, when they came back to visit relatives yesterday, Tian Tian happened to go to her grandmother's house, so they missed each other.
Tian Tian felt deeply regretful about this. She missed this opportunity and didn’t know when she would see her aunt and two cousins again.
"By the way, sister! It seems that your aunt gave you a head of flowers yesterday. I heard that sisters Zhizhi and Zhenzhen picked them specially for you and asked grandma to put them away." Tian Baobao said suddenly.
Fang Zhizhi and Fang Zhenzhen are Tian Lijuan’s two daughters. They are twins, the same age as Tian Yuan and two years older than Tian Tian.
Yesterday, Chen Guihua went to sit for a while at her grandmother's house and then came back, so Tian Baobao was the only one among the children in the family who got to see Tian Lijuan and the others and got a lot of delicious food.
"Really?" Tian Tian was not interested in hair flowers, but people nowadays treasure a red string very much, and Yuansheng also liked hair flowers, so Tian Tian also pretended to be interested, "I'll ask grandma when she comes back later!"
Tian Tian finished the peach cake in her hand in just a few bites, then poured the peach cake residue in her palm into her mouth, clapped her hands, and prepared to cook.
Actually, she was not very good at cooking fish, and this was the first time she cooked fish in her previous and current lives. Fortunately, Chen Guihua had cleaned the fish, cut it into pieces, prepared the tofu, and even mixed the bean flour. All Tian Tian had to do was put all these things in the pot and add the seasonings.
Seeing that the water in the pot was boiling, Tian Tian poured another ladle of water into it. She had read on the Internet before that the fish should be fried before making fish soup, but now the fish was cut into pieces and the water was boiled, so Tian Tian was not so particular.
She threw the fish pieces directly into the pot and threw in a lot of slices of ginger. After thinking for a while, she secretly took out the ginseng roots and threw them in. She covered the pot and waited for the water to boil. Then she sprinkled salt and added tofu, and then put pancakes around the edge of the pot.
After putting the lid on, Tian Tian asked Tian Baobao to watch the fire while she went out to go to the toilet.
Anyway, Tian Baobao often helps to watch the fire and is very skilled in controlling the heat, so there is no need to worry about him burning the pot dry.
While waiting for the water in the pot to start boiling again, Tian Tian only added a little salt and a little soy sauce, without adding any other seasonings.
Then pour all the chopped tofu in, roll some bean flour cakes and stick them to the edge of the pot, and then cover the pot with the lid.
Tian Baobao, who was sitting next to them, took out a few big firewoods and turned the fire into a small fire without Tian Tian saying anything.
By the time the aroma of fish and bean flour cakes had spread, Old Mrs. Tian and the others finally came back.
Tian Tian was curious about what happened next, so she asked, "Grandma! What happened at Aunt Huang's house next door? Why did you guys just come back?"
Chen Guihua was quick-witted. When she heard Tian Tian's question, she immediately said, "The Huang family's country kid was drowned in the bathtub. Your sister-in-law Zhang is crying over there! We went over to persuade her!"
Tian Tian had already overheard this matter, but hearing it again now, she still couldn't help feeling sad. Such a good child was gone just like that, and he was drowned.
The original owner also drowned. Although Tian Tian took over her body later, the memory of the original owner's suffocation and pain before her death still remained in her mind. Tian Tian could not empathize with her, but now after hearing about Tuwa's story, she also felt a little uncomfortable.
"How could he drown? Such a young child doesn't know anything." Tian Tian said in a low voice.
Lin Meiyu's eyes are still red now. She just saw the scene of Tuwa's death, and remembered how everyone fished Tian Tian out a few months ago. The heart-wrenching pain and panic made her legs go weak whenever she recalled it. Naturally, she could understand Zhang Lanru's feelings, and she just hugged Zhang Lanru and cried.
"Ah!" Old Mrs. Tian looked at the stiff body of the little kid and felt uncomfortable. "Don't mention this anymore, eldest and second brother. After you finish your meal, go and help your sister-in-law Huang."
"And there's the child Kangri," Old Lady Tian couldn't help but feel relieved when Huang Kangri was mentioned. "After all, Kangri watched Tuwa give birth to him. You two can accompany him to the mountain and watch one of you chop a piece of wood. Second brother, you have good craftsmanship, make a small coffin for Tuwa."
Tian Lisong and Tian Lilin both nodded. Chen Guihua had just listened to the whole story from beginning to end in the house. Who knew how messy things were in the Huang family? She looked down on Huang Kangri and just curled her lips when she heard it.
