As soon as he finished speaking, Tian Baobao and Tian Zhuo came into the room.
Seeing Tian Yuan sitting on a small stool, Tian Baobao said excitedly: "Brother! You are really back! They didn't lie to me!"
Tian Zhuo on the side looked at Tian Yuan awkwardly, feeling a little embarrassed. He was too young when Tian Yuan left and didn't remember anything. He was not as close to Tian Yuan as Tian Baobao was to Tian Yuan. He just had a little impression of him in his mind.
"I'm not lying to you. I'm just sitting here peacefully." Tian Yuan said to Tian Baobao with a smile, then turned to look at Tian Zhuo who was hiding behind Tian Tian and looking shy.
"Xiao Zhuo! Do you still recognize your brother?"
"This is our eldest brother! Tian Zhuo!! Hurry up and call him eldest brother!" Tian Baobao also urged.
"Brother!" Tian Zhuo said.
"Okay, your brother has been on the train for quite a long time, and he hasn't had time to rest since he came back. Wait until your brother finishes his meal, and then you can go play with him!"
When Mrs. Tian saw that the noodles in the pot were cooked, she took a large bowl and scooped out all the noodles.
At first, Tian Baobao and Tian Zhuo's attention was all on Tian Yuan. Only now did they realize that Old Lady Tian had cooked white flour noodles. They couldn't help swallowing their saliva.
"Eat it while it's hot! There's more in the pot. If you finish it, I'll serve you more!" Old Mrs. Tian handed the bowl to Tian Yuan with a smile.
Tian Yuan was indeed hungry. All he ate along the way were the biscuits he brought back from the canteen. Fortunately, they often went out for training, and sometimes they had no food to eat, so they could only eat a few bites of biscuits on the spot.
In order to prevent the biscuits from going bad, the biscuits in their cafeteria are made hard and dry, making them particularly difficult to swallow.
But he had already eaten those biscuits in the car last night, and he hadn't eaten anything the whole day.
Just as he picked up the noodles and was about to take a couple of bites, he saw his two younger brothers staring at him eagerly. Even Tiantian glanced over here from time to time. Tian Yuan suddenly felt that he could not eat this mouthful of noodles.
"Grandma! Aren't there noodles in the pot? You guys should eat some too. It would be embarrassing for me to eat here alone." Tian Yuan said.
"What's there to be embarrassed about? It's just been such a long time since you went home alone. What are they going to eat? They just finished lunch not long ago. How can they eat anything else? They are not pigs. There are not that many noodles left in the pot. It's only enough for you. Eat it quickly and don't think about it all day long." Old Mrs. Tian said.
Tian Yuan had no choice but to lower his head and take a bite of noodles, then looked up and said, "Grandma! Can you help me get some pickles or soybean paste? Noodles are a bit unpalatable with just a few pickles."
Now that her eldest grandson has returned, Old Mrs. Tian is very happy. When she heard what Tian Yuan said, she said nothing and went out to get some pickles for Tian Yuan.
While Old Lady Tian was out, Tian Yuan waved at the three of them, "Come over and try some noodles!"
Tian Baobao and Tian Zhuo ran up immediately, and each of them took a bite of noodles with Tian Yuan's chopsticks.
"I don't want to eat anymore, brother. I just finished lunch and I'm not hungry now. You eat it!" Tiantian knew that Tian Yuan had a big appetite. Now that he was a soldier, he must eat even more. This big bowl of noodles was probably enough to fill Tian Yuan.
And now Tian Tian is really not hungry, she is just a little greedy. She is not as ignorant as Tian Baobao and Tian Zhuo, so she will definitely not eat that noodles.
"Come here and try it. You must not have eaten white flour noodles for a long time! Come and try it!" Tian Yuan said with a smile.
Tian Tian stared at the noodles in Tian Yuan's hand for a while, but finally couldn't resist the temptation and leaned over to taste a noodle.
"Alright! I can taste it! Hurry up and eat it, or it will become clumpy and not tasty anymore."
Tian Baobao and Tian Zhuo were also sensible enough to stop eating and urged Tian Yuan to eat the noodles quickly.
Tian Yuan then picked up the noodles and started eating them in big mouthfuls. Although he was serving in the army, the food was not good to be honest. After all, soldiers had big appetites. Even if the country subsidized them, it was impossible for them to have big meals of meat and fish every day. No one could afford the subsidy.
Sometimes the food they ate was not even as good as what he had at home. The roots of the wild vegetables were not even cleaned and were covered in mud.
It had been a long time since he had eaten such delicious food. Tian Yuan ate up all the noodles cooked by Old Lady Tian and the pickles she brought, and let out a long sigh of relief.
