Thinking about it, she felt a little embarrassed. The original owner was not young anymore. Every time she went to work in the fields, she would follow a group of seven or eight-year-old children to pick up wheat ears. But her family didn't think it was a big deal. Her father even often picked cherries to reward Tian Tian for picking more wheat ears.
As for farm work such as picking corn, harvesting wheat, and planting rice, the original owner had never done any of these.
Fortunately, the original owner was a well-behaved child. She did not become spoiled despite being so pampered. Instead, she was very sensible. When she had eggs to eat, she never forgot her two younger brothers. Tian Zhuo and Tian Baobao were basically raised by her.
Because of this, Chen Guihua had no opinion about her.
After putting on her clothes, Tian Tian braided her waist-length hair into two shiny black pigtails and skipped out.
"Milk!" Tian called out sweetly.
Two months later, Mrs. Tian, who had already accepted her granddaughter's spoiled behavior, looked at Tian Tian as usual, and continued to feed the chickens. "The rice is in the pot, and I made a bowl of egg cake for Xiao Zhuo. He can't eat it anymore, so go and clean it up."
Tian Tian's eyes lit up, and she trotted over to Old Lady Tian, took her arm and said coquettishly, "Thank you, grandma. I knew you were the best to me!"
Tian Tian knew very well that there was no child who didn't like egg cake. That bowl of egg cake was made for her by Old Mrs. Tian, but she was just too embarrassed to tell her.
There was still a bowl of corn porridge, a bowl of egg cake, and a small bowl of pickles left in the pot.
These were specially reserved for her by Old Mrs. Tian. The other people in the family got up early and went to work in the fields before dawn.
Only Tian Tian had fallen seriously ill a few days ago. After she recovered, she lost a lot of weight and her energy was much lower. Old Mrs. Tian felt sorry for her and wanted her to sleep a little longer, so Tian Tian was able to sleep until dawn.
Tian Tian brought out the corn grits porridge with sparkling eyes. This was prepared by Old Lady Tian and kept warm in the pot. It was not hot. Tian Tian took it and took a big sip, closing her eyes in enjoyment, feeling the chewy corn grits sliding between her teeth.
She glanced at the pickled vegetables in the bowl with disdain. Except for the fresh fruits and vegetables at the beginning of the apocalypse, she basically ate pickled vegetables and meat afterwards. She was about to vomit.
There was nothing she could do in the end times, there was nothing fresh to eat. Now that she has traveled through time, her yard is full of vegetables she grows herself, so she doesn't like these small pickles.
I picked a cucumber from the beet field and scooped some soybean paste from the sauce jar. The cucumber was sweet and crispy, and my mouth was full of fragrance when I took a bite. It was much more delicious than the pickled vegetables.
Tian Tian finished her meal, taking a bite of corn and a bite of cucumber. Then she picked up the bowl of egg cake that she had saved for last.
The egg cake was very small in size, so Mrs. Tian only steamed one egg for Tian Tian.
Tian Tian picked up the spoon with gratitude and was about to scoop a bite of the tender and smooth egg cake when she felt someone was staring at her. She looked towards the door of the kitchen and saw her younger brother Tian Zhuo clinging to the door frame, staring at the egg cake in her hand and swallowing his saliva.
Tian Tian looked at Tian Zhuo, then looked at the egg cake in her hand, and waved at Tian Zhuo, "Xiao Zhuo, come here."
Tian Zhuo ran to Tian Tian eagerly, staring at the egg cake, and called out in a cute voice, "Sister!"
Tian Tian narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Xiao Zhuo, do you want to eat egg cake?"
Tian Zhuo looked at the egg cake and swallowed hard, but shook his head, "I won't eat it. My sister fell into the water and got sick. This egg cake is for my sister to eat to replenish her body. Sister, you should eat more."
Tian Tian blushed a little. It had been two months since she fell into the water. Although she had a fever intermittently for a period of time, she had recovered now. Why would she need to eat egg cake to replenish her body?
This was because Old Mrs. Tian felt sorry for her and was worried that she would be frightened if she fell into the water, so she kept her from going out and steamed a bowl of egg cake for her every few days.
"Sister just ate a full bowl of corn porridge and a big cucumber, and her stomach is full. Now she can't eat this egg cake anymore. Can you help her eat half of it, otherwise the egg cake will be wasted." Tian Tian coaxed Tian Zhuo softly.
Tian Zhuo looked at the egg cake and really thought that Tian Tian couldn't eat it. In order to help Tian Tian happy, he said, "Okay, I'll help my sister finish half of the egg cake."
Tian Tian gave Tian Zhuo a spoon, and they started to share the bowl of egg cake, taking bites from each other.
In the middle, Old Lady Tian came in and took a look. Seeing the two of them eating together, she didn't say anything. She turned to Tian Tian and said, "Wash the dishes after you finish your meal. I'm going to the riverside to wash clothes."
do the laundry?
Tian Tian's eyes lit up, "Grandma, let me go wash the clothes!"
That's water, natural, clean, flowing water.
Half a year after the end of the world, all flowing water on Earth was basically polluted, and only bottled water could be used.
Tian Tian has long longed for a pure natural, pollution-free river.
"No!" Old Mrs. Tian refused without even thinking, "You stay at home. If you want to work, just cook lunch for your parents and your second uncle and second aunt to come back and eat."
Tian Tian came here this time because the original owner went to the river to wash clothes, but a piece of clothing was not pressed down and flowed away with the water. Now the clothing was so precious, so the original owner went to fish it out.
It happened to be the rainy season during that period, and it rained for several days in a row, causing the river water to rise quite a bit. As a result, she accidentally drowned, and when she was fished out, she was dead, so she had to have a new core replaced.
This incident scared old lady Tian so much that she refused to let Tian Tian go to the river to wash clothes no matter what.
"Grandma, I'm fine now, look!" Tian Tian had long forgotten about the egg cake. She stood up and turned around in front of Grandma Tian. "I will be very careful this time. Even if my clothes are soaked by water, I don't care."
Old Mrs. Tian was still a little worried, so Tian Tian continued, "Grandma, I was scared the last time I fell into the water. Even if you push me into the water this time, I will definitely stand on the shore and refuse to get out. Just let me go. I can't stay away from the river for the rest of my life. You have to let me get used to it!"
Old Mrs. Tian was moved by Tian Tian's last words. "Then be careful when you go there. Even if the whole basin of clothes floats away, don't worry about it. Just come back safely."
Tian Tian saw that her goal had been achieved, so she listened obediently to Old Lady Tian's nagging in her ear. After Old Lady Tian finished speaking, she took Old Lady Tian's arm and said, "Grandma, I'll make your favorite eggplant for lunch today, okay?"
