"I'm fine!" Tian Tian slowly moved her buttocks onto the kang, and breathed a sigh of relief when she didn't feel much pain.
"I ran into the river yesterday! The wild boar didn't go into the water, but just wandered around the shore. Later, the People's Liberation Army came and killed the wild boar. It was a pity that such a big wild boar was not even offered a piece of meat. I was chased for such a long time, and it consumed so much energy!" Tian Tian still misses the meat of wild boar.
"It's already this time and you're still thinking about eating wild boar? And that wild boar was originally hunted by someone else. Didn't they say that they had been eyeing that wild boar for a long time?" Shen Lingling said.
"It's just a thought. I'm craving for meat! The last time I ate meat was when I caught toads." Tian Tian sighed.
"I want to eat meat, too!" Shen Lingling was also greedy. "These past two days, my grandma only gave me a small portion of dry food every time she distributed it to me, so I couldn't eat enough. My dad and the others ate all of it."
Shen Lingling's brother just held a wedding in the fall of this year and set up several tables of banquets. Now there is not enough food, so he can only exploit people like Shen Lingling who do less work. Shen Lingling doesn't have enough to eat every day.
"I have some glutinous rice noodles here! I'll get you some to fill your stomach." After saying this, Tian Tian was about to climb into the cabinet in her room to get the glutinous rice noodles.
The glutinous rice noodles were brought by Fang Zhenzhen and her sister when they came to the Tian family during the summer vacation. Old Mrs. Tian gave some to Tian Tian, but Tian Tian was reluctant to eat them and kept them in the cupboard. Now Shen Lingling was hungry, so she took them out and gave some to Shen Lingling.
Although Shen Lingling was very greedy when she heard about the rice noodles, her reason controlled her and she shook her head, "I won't eat it. You were so tired yesterday and it was so thrilling. You can eat it to replenish your body!"
"It's okay! I just happen to want to eat some. These rice noodles have been in the cupboard for a long time. I'm afraid they will go rancid if I don't eat them. I usually don't even want to eat them."
Tian Tian ignored Shen Lingling and climbed over to the suitcase to take out the glutinous rice noodles. The two of them leaned on the quilts, eating and chatting.
Shen Lingling bit into the crispy and sweet glutinous rice sticks, and envied Tian Tian and Tian Yun very much. "It's delicious, crispy, sweet, and so fragrant. I wish I could eat it every day."
"If you can eat glutinous rice sticks every day, you won't like it anymore." Tian Tian bit the glutinous rice sticks with a crunchy sound.
"Why?" Shen Lingling looked over curiously, "How can I not like eating glutinous rice noodles? This thing is so delicious! I couldn't even eat it during the Chinese New Year."
"Do you think beans are delicious?" Tian Tian asked.
When she was in modern times, she never thought about eating glutinous rice noodles. Sometimes when she wanted to reward herself after working, she would be cruel and buy an expensive cake. She obviously gritted her teeth to buy the cake, but she didn't feel any happiness when eating it. She just felt that the cake was delicious at the moment.
Later, when the zombies appeared, she locked herself in the dormitory and didn't dare to go out. She wanted to eat cakes so much, but where could she buy cakes at that time?
After that, she left school and searched everywhere for supplies, but she couldn't find any cakes. By that time, the cakes had already gone bad and could not be eaten.
She saw glutinous rice noodles, rice cakes, and twisted dough sticks in a small cart on the side of the road.
At that time, the fried dough twists and rice cakes had already gone moldy, and only a few packets of glutinous rice strips were still clean.
In order not to waste anything, she put all the glutinous rice sticks into their shells and took them back to her small apartment. When she ate the glutinous rice sticks, she was amazed and felt that she had never eaten anything so delicious in her life.
The happiness that the glutinous rice noodles brought her at that time could not be compared with the expensive little cakes.
Only when she got here did Tian Tian realize that sometimes things are too within reach and too abundant, and in fact, you have too little happiness and joy, so you don’t know how to cherish them.
Although there is not much to eat here, every time you eat it you eat it with an attitude of gratitude and cherishment, and the taste is different.
"I think green beans are delicious! I love eating green beans!" said Shen Lingling.
"If you were asked to eat beans three times a day, would you still like them?" Tian Tian asked.
"That's all. Who eats three times a day? Besides, we have eggplants, peppers, and tomatoes at home, not just beans. But glutinous rice noodles are different. They are made of refined flour, with so much sugar on them, and fried in oil. I'd be happy to eat them all the time!"
Tian Tian smiled and said nothing more.
Shen Lingling didn't pay too much attention to this topic. She sighed and said, "I really envy Sister Yunyun! She hasn't gone to school in the county yet. I don't know what she is doing now, whether she is in class or after class. I don't know what the schools in the city are doing."
After hearing what Shen Lingling said, Tian Tian suddenly said, "Lingling! Do you still want to study?"
Shen Lingling had received education. She went to primary school with Tian Tian for a few years, but she stopped after the third year.
The original owner also tried to persuade Shen Lingling at that time, but Shen Lingling said she would not go to school no matter what, so the original owner never mentioned the matter again.
Fortunately, their friendship did not change at all because of studying.
"Me? I don't know!" Shen Lingling said in confusion, "What's the point of studying? After finishing school, you will still have to marry a country boy, and live the same life as now?"
"But I also feel that if I go to school like Sister Tian Yun, I won't have to do so much work every day, and I can dress neatly. I won't be a rustic country girl like me." Shen Lingling looked down at herself and said gloomily.
Tian Tian was shocked. How could Shen Lingling have such an inferiority complex? She had always been a lively, outgoing, and straightforward person.
"Lingling! Who said you were rustic?!" Tian Tian asked.
Shen Lingling would not have had this idea suddenly. Someone must have said something to her or done something in front of her.
It was also her fault that she had been too busy since the autumn harvest and had no time to talk to Shen Lingling, so she didn't notice Lingling's changes.
Shen Lingling shook her head in panic, holding a half-eaten rice noodle in her hand, pinching the corner of her clothes helplessly, "No one told me this, I just felt bad myself!"
"He's talking nonsense!" Tian Tian sat up angrily, pulling her muscles and wailing in pain.
She quickly leaned on the windowsill to relax, then said indignantly: "Is the person who said that about you blind?! If you are still so unsophisticated! Then the person who said that about you has no eyes!"
Tian Tian looked at Shen Lingling seriously. She had healthy wheat-colored skin, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a heroic look, and her cheeks were slightly flushed.
Perhaps Shen Lingling is not as delicate as the girls in the city, who can wear a white shirt, recite poems and play the piano.
But Shen Lingling is also unique, with a well-proportioned figure, full of energy and vigor, and possesses a unique beauty that makes people feel the vitality.
The most important thing is that Shen Lingling is kind and brave, and a very good girl.
Tian Tian held Shen Lingling's hand tightly and said sincerely: "Lingling! Do you know? You are really beautiful. Your eyes are big and bright. Your eyebrows are thick and beautifully shaped. You don't even need to draw them. Your nose is high and upturned, and your lips are very red. Especially your skin is a very healthy wheat color, and it is very even. I really want to have your skin color!"
Tian Tian was a little jealous at the end. Among her, Tian Yun and Shen Lingling, her appearance was actually the worst. She was just pretty.
Tian Yun and her two friends are as follows: one is a charming and enchanting beauty, and the other has unique facial features and a lively temperament, and her face is somewhat similar to Gong Li's.
As for her? Apart from her fair skin, her facial features were not the best among the three of them.
Although Tian Tian felt lost for a while, she quickly adjusted herself. Her two good sisters were pretty and nice, and at least she felt good just looking at them every day.
When girls compliment other girls, it always makes girls happier. Shen Lingling is no exception. She was surprised and shy and pressed Tian Tian, "Really? But I envy your fair skin!"
"There's nothing good about having a white complexion!" Tian Tian said with a bitter face, "Look at the back of my neck!"
