Old Mrs. Tian didn't say anything. If they had money, they could go to the fertilizer factory to buy it. The key point was that their team had no money. It was already stretched to buy this little fertilizer. In addition, they had to spend some miscellaneous money when farming, so they always had to keep some money in their hands.
"That's enough! You've been tired all day. The mattress in your room only needs two stitches to be sewn. You can take the quilt back and go to sleep later."
While Mrs. Tian and her son were talking, Chen Guihua finished sewing the last stitch. She tied a knot around the thread and bit it off. "That's enough, brother! The quilt is done. Go to bed now!"
Tian Lisong was indeed extremely tired that day, so he just hugged the quilt, washed his feet and went to sleep.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law continued to sew the quilt. Tian Tian couldn't hold on any longer, so she went back to her room to sleep. She woke up the two little ones, took them to the bathroom, and then went back to her room to sleep.
Tian Tian didn’t know what time the three of them finished sewing the quilt, but they all got up very early the next day.
When Tian Tian got up, they had already prepared the meal.
"Grandma! What time did you go to bed last night?" Tian Tian said, rubbing her eyes.
She is really sleepy in spring, tired in autumn and nappy in summer. She seems to be unable to wake up every day these days.
"I go to bed around ten o'clock!" The three of them, the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law, were busy together. Later, there was no one to disturb them in the room, so they worked quite fast.
Tian Tian nodded, ran to the toilet, and then went to wash his face.
She no longer feels any burden when going to the toilet. In the past, in the winter, she would hold it in as long as she could, and only go to the toilet when she couldn't hold it any longer. It was fine for small diapers, but for large diapers, her butt would make a loud noise outside, and she would feel nothing after going to the toilet.
Tian Tian was forced to suffer from constipation.
Later, the weather got warmer, and Tian Tian ate vegetables and drank water like crazy every day. She ate all the frozen pears and apples at home, and then she gradually returned to her normal frequency of going to the toilet.
"Go wash your face and eat!" Lin Meiyu urged.
Tian Tian quickly washed her face with water. There was nothing to wash her face with, so she just splashed her face with clean water. After washing her face, Tian Tian wiped her face with a lint-free towel and ran to eat.
This morning, Lin Meiyu and her friends made cornmeal buns and wild vegetable soup, as well as a plate of fried potatoes with artemisia selengensis.
Tian Tian was so happy that she couldn't express it in words. After eating cabbage, radish and sauerkraut for a whole winter, she finally got to eat fresh vegetables.
What's more, although the soup is made from wild vegetables, these wild vegetables are just newly grown tender sprouts. They are not bitter or astringent at all, but rather very fresh and cool, with a unique flavor of wild vegetables.
There was also fried potatoes with artemisia annua, but Tian Baobao didn't like the taste of artemisia annua, so he took one bite and stopped eating.
Tian Tian really liked this strange aroma, just like she liked celery and coriander. During this meal, she specifically picked the artemisia selengensis. Fortunately, everyone preferred stewed potatoes that could fill their stomachs, so Tian Tian could eat the artemisia selengensis so unscrupulously.
After eating, Tian Tian said she wanted to eat artemisia for the next meal. Lin Meiyu smiled and said, "I stewed all the artemisia I picked yesterday. I will go up the mountain today to see if I can pick more. If I can, I will cook it for you for the next meal. If not, forget it."
Tian Tian was not the unreasonable person who insisted on getting what she wanted, so she nodded when she heard Lin Meiyu say this, and at the same time she was mentally prepared to not have the next meal.
If you can really eat it at the next meal, it will be an extra surprise.
Tian Tian happily prepared herself mentally, then took a broom and swept the floor in the house to help reduce the burden on Lin Meiyu and others.
At this time, Lin Meiyu and the others had finished washing the dishes. They took a cloth bag and put a few cornmeal cakes in it, preparing to go up the mountain with Chen Guihua to pick wild vegetables. They also asked Tian Tian if she wanted to go up the mountain with them.
Tian Tian shook her head. She had made an appointment with Tian Yun and Shen Lingling yesterday to go to the river to catch cicadas today, and had also made an appointment to go up the mountain with them to pick wild vegetables tomorrow. She had been very busy these days and was afraid that she would not have time to go out with Lin Meiyu and the others.
After Li Meiyu left, Tian Tian went to the kitchen to get a small basin, passed by the two brothers Tian Baobao and Tian Zhuo who were standing on a stool, working hard to beat the jar of soy sauce, and happily went to play with her little sisters.
After the three little sisters gathered, they each took the small basin they brought from home and went to the small river at the foot of the mountain. The water here was actually quite deep, and the water was up to their calves when they stepped in. Because it was at the foot of the mountain, the entire river flowed out of the mountain, and the water was quite turbulent, and then it merged into the big river that drowned the original owner.
They carefully stepped on the stones to the other side of the river, turning over the stones to look for the crickets hiding underneath.
There were quite a few people around looking for crickets. Most of them were about the same age as Tian Tian and the others, and there were also several children about the same age as Tian Baobao.
At that time, food resources were already scarce, and people could basically only eat what came from the fields all year round. Although lagu is difficult to eat and has a hard shell that needs to be peeled off, for people today, it is a very easy-to-obtain food that can improve their diet.
It is neither difficult to catch like fish nor can it be eaten only during a certain period of the year like toads. Crayfish can be eaten early in the year, from the time the ice thaws in spring to the time the ice freezes in winter.
It’s just a little bit laborious to prepare, but in the summer there isn’t much farm work to do at home, so everyone is willing to spend the time and energy to make crickets.
Spring was the time when crickets came out to mate, and it didn't take long for the three of them to each pick up half a basin of crickets.
Tian Tian and the other two went there early. The water was quite cold in the morning. They were in the shade of the mountains. Tian Tian's hands were already red from the cold. She shook hands to warm them up. "Sister Yunyun! Lingling! Let's come back to pick them up in the afternoon. The water is too cold now. My hands are red from the cold!"
Shen Lingling and Tian Yun's hands were also a little cold, but they were a little reluctant to give up when they saw others picking crickets. They had all been eating cabbage and potatoes for the whole winter, and now they definitely wanted to eat some spicy bones to change their taste.
But their hands were also red now, and thinking that the water had been heated by the sun at noon, they agreed with Tian Tian's opinion.
The three sisters carried their spoils back home.
When I passed by the educated youth site on the way, I saw a large group of people gathered there and there was a lot of noise. I knew something was going on.
